Hi,
Just got my Barco Graphics 800, took the lenses off on the blue today ( i didnt have a wrench with me when I went to buy it stupidly enough ) it has slight 16:9 burn but nothing that I didn't expect from these damn blue tubes. Whats with that anyway? is there some kind of scientific reason why blue burns first? something to do with UV wavelengths id imagine.
My main question which I know I mentioned before but Im still not sure of. If the G2 spot kill circuit was not working properly, would the projector burn spots in the tubes the first time it was not killed properly? or would it take a lot of on then off cycles for a spot to appear?
I'm very paranoid to power this thing up unless I know this at least, I have powered it up and down about 5 times since I have got it, and I do get a fraction of a second on turnoff where the CRTs static will show as a spot (not very bright though) as I've never used a CRT projector before I wasnt sure if this was normal. Barco released a kill board addon to this model, Im not sure whether mine has it. Where abouts is the focus module?
Cheers,
Jon
