What is the difference electronically between the 1209s and the Cine9?

Spotmatic said that it has far more convergence zones and settings to get a perfect shaped picture.
Maybe the tubes and neckboards also are better, if not the looks Laughing

Hey, I bought one, then robbed the tubes out of it to re-tube my 4600HD. I then took the useless rotting carcass to the dump Wink

Stefuel! Down Boy!

In case anyone is unaware, Chip is off his meds. Please forgive us other loyal Ampro owners for the mad dedication that we have for our PJs. I know you will not understand if you have not had a (working) Ampro, but they are wonderful. However, I for one would love to have a Cine9 also.

Please post it on htforum.nl too, then Spotmatic will see that he's not the only one who owns this beast Mr. Green

Come on Andre, Arbey has had almost a dozen on offer in the past year and a half, so Peter is well aware he can't be the only one with the same SPOTlight Wink .

THey are a totally different beast from all other Barcos. Wonderful looking sets, too bad I have too busy a life to look at my own HT, otherwise I'd keep one of the ones I've had through here.

Besides, has ANYONE ever see a 909 setup???

I always get confused, is this the model that runco was selling as the DTV 1100 or 1200???


Well, seen one that was set-up, but awaiting tweaking up on convergence, and some other issues. Nice picture, but could do with a few extra lumens.

The noise didn't bother me, but we were only reviewing it, so I was talking most of the time, numbing out the Braco's noise anyway Wink .

Hi,

with Colorfacts + i1 and HCFR with Spyder2.
The result is the same.

You have an Scaler?

The 909 will be fed with a Lumagen HDP.

Where has the Spyder II head to be positioned ? Center of the screen looking towards the lens ?

Assuming you will be hanging the projector from the ceiling. However, in any case you would point the collector at the screen. I'm not sure about the Barco but let's say it has a built in 10 degree projection angle. You will be projecting 10 IRE window patterns at the center of the screen. Point the collector so that it is pointing up about 10 degrees looking at the center of the screen. It must be far enough away and low enough so that it doesn't cast a shadow on the area of the window pattern that it is looking at.

Nope,

IRE Field 100, and then seek the maximum level with your i1 or Spyder.

Dont get the Spyder2, it is not a consistantly produced sensor, too many bad units in any batch made. Most here use the Eye One display2LT.

"5 fans"???..."hush box"??? or wind tunnel?
I'm just busting your balls. It will probably run real cool but I doubt it will qualify as a "hush box" Wink

Come on guys. You will not hear the fans. They are really quiet.

You think i watch movies with mute on and just the lovely sound of my fans ? Rolling Eyes

I hope the fan sound is not more like my digital i have too Twisted Evil Yes, i have a grey one too !

It's like in the real world. You cannot put two analogs or digitals together otherwise you are from the other side Mr. Green

Both have a great relationship, but i have to say that the analog part leaves the marriage everytime.

Hopefully this time the both live to the end of time, till another technique comes in my live Thumbs Up
