Yes I changed one of the amps on the neck boards.
The caps made a big difference to the 808s. The driver boards I am using are rev 3.
I am now looking at using the hybrid chip from the 919 neck board on the 120mhz 808s neck board.

It will be interesting to see if you get simular improvements on the 9 series. One day I will get one to play with.

We watched Avatar last night. It looked totally 3d. Very happy.

I broke one of the pins on the little RGB board that plugs into the switcher. So I got some ridged coax and used it to replace all 3 connectors. The boards are now soldered together but it has reduced some video noise.

Nice! Right now I have this bandwidth on my Seos. Very few changes where made but the difference with unmodified is rather big I wonder how this will look with the ultra sharp focus astig of the Barco.

I removed the Gamma Quad Multipliers from the Blue and Red today. That with the coax joiners has improved the 1:1 a little.
I will get some better shots when the camera is charged. I used the phone. The phone makes it look very noisy.

Great solution. I have also broken one of those and its been sitting in a box waiting for repair so you have given me an idea on what to do. Why not just connect the coax cables directly?

How does that improve green? It is certainly an important thing but those double ad835 ar on red and blue only.

I think the little coax cables between the small board and the switcher board has helped.

There are diodes on the little board.

Hi if you can make some better pictures that would be great. Also I see the 1:1 is mirrored, is it in a corner or on the tube face? Great work! I have to get a screen first thing so I can show them better.

I think that with little changes we are getting very close to the Marquee and that shows the Neckboards on a Barco might not be the problem and that a Barco does have the bandwidth.

Yes its a corner shot at 1080p@60. The HD8 rev B lens are not to bad when focused correctly.
