818x1920p 72Hz works fine with this Moome. I could not get that resolution to sync earlier and now I see what I missed. Movement is much better like this.

I think I am happy with the Cinemax right now. I can totally enjoy a movie and see no more big issues. I also have a band to the left but will solve that with better timings. The overall image is simple wow.

Now I will not go the further modification path with the Barco as she is good now. I choose to go the ultra resolution path with the Marquee. I just heard that those boards will do 300MHz and I am very interested where that will lead me.

Good card this Moome! You will enjoy your movies with it.

Is there anyone using a 909 who belive that they will benefit from 4K ?

Even if they could use 4 x 909.?

[CasetheCorvetteman]

Not me no.

You would need more than two, you will need 2100 lines wide to do 4096x2160.

Maybe if you go with 3 of them on their sides at 2160x1400 you might stand a better chance, but itll still need to be interlaced if you want it to look sharp.

2048x1536 is less than required in both directions.

I figured out on my Res editor going with the current 192 blend zone I use that would be 2016x1600 for a 2.4 aspect.


Might give it a shot upscaling BD 2.4 aspect movies when i feel motivated.


Stock Marquee's of course.

I have one problem with the Moome. I want to disable the gamma. I guessed the right gamma by going clicks up or down till it looked right than I measured and the gamma turned out to be reasonable but it would be simpler if I could disable the gamma.

If I post a picture could someone help me with that?

Case,

if you do 3840 x 2160 it should work.

You will not use the 2160 of course for cinemascope.

So if you do 2048 x 1536 on each you'll have a blend zone of 256.

I find that a 256 blend zone is too large, 190-210 range works best. 230 is pushing it but still ok.
What happens is the zone is more visible on bright scenes when its larger, but not as visible in dark scenes.

The smaller you get the less you see it on bright but more more on dark unless you really get the edge
brightness of the tub face as uniform as the center of the tube. I wish we could use lenses larger than the tube
to not have to bump up the edge contrast to compensate.

I still dont understand why anyone would even think about trying 4K blend with projectors who cant resolve 720P 60hz.

What is the max resolution a 909 will resolve.?

The thing is i wanna do a 2.40 screen with 3,6m in width.

I cannot light 3,6m with the screen distance i have in my room.

So a stack will not work.

Hello,

Its been a wile since I have been on the form and some of my customers informed me about this thread.

I wanted to say the claims here can't be the case and this card cannot provide the best picture unless you update the switcher card.

In our HDMI mod we REQUIRE all customers to provide there switcher card for updating as well as the port 3.

I Also wanted to update people that we have a brand new HDMI card just developed. The first ones shipped 1 months ago.

These cards have a much sharper image over the old card that some had tested. We use a custom 1.4 chip currently.

I can guarantee it will be the best picture for your barco and its 35% sharper than our old card. Its designed to be custom matched to our mod set and your switcher card.

By just replacing the HDMI card without updating the rest of the video chain will provide a soft image. This simple replacement will not take advantage of the bandwidth and high resolution in the HD signal.

This card sold has extra amps to overcome the interface on the switcher card that is aprox .7V P-P more video. In our mod we remove the amps on the switcher card and also the HDMI card. We all know the less amps the better the noise, less harmonics and better resolution. Barco has to boast the video signal on the port 3 so we changed the gain and resistors on the port 3.

The barco switcher card has a very low Bandwidth transistor on the port 3 input because this was for old PC systems with low resolution and they wanted to keep noise levels down at lower resolutions.

If people really want to buy this card over our HDMI card I can upgrade your Switcher, RGB driver and Neck cards to match.

True. Go for the complete mods if you want the best out of it.

My clame is it performs bandwidth wise equal to the best vga solution on port 5 that I found but I upgraded the resistors you mention myself. Perhaps I will compare with an old switcher I have laying here. But it is much better than the vga because lower noise. I also clame it is better than the external moome that was on port 3 in my case.

But I just gave a first impression with my Cinemax and it just looked good. I can see that in one minute with all the settings wrong and half calibrated. Some sharpness and detail came out and the picture was rocksolid.

Is it possible to just have neckboards upgraded?

[CasetheCorvetteman]

[stridsvognen]

Wow a new Eisemann BARCO mod.. Wonder if there will be any documentation showing how the improvement was calculated.?

Greg there is some really simple test patterns who will help you document the performance, you should try post some screen shots.

What is the bandwidth of the latest fully moddet 909.?
