Yes! Thank you Bionic Badger! Someone understands.:) Really I have had to repeat myself alot in this thread. If those of you that respond would just take the time to read the entire thread before you post a comment it would save all of us alot of time. (lol) Read post number 5 again. It covers...

This has nothing to do with the yellow subpixels Tv's that came out a few years back. (Which BTW i agree with you both of you about.) This is very different. And let me explain RHD why the choice of wavelengths so there will be no confusion. I own 5 showwx+ models. Some have different...

Yes I am using it in addition to 450nm blue and 442nm bluish purple. Red. 642nm & 638nm Green 530nm and 532nm Blue 450nm and 442nm Cyan 490nm

I can display content that will benefit from the extra coverage in the gamut though. ProPhoto RGB, Sony DSC-F828 with 4-Color RGBE RAW output, Adobe RGB & Rec. 2020 (UHDTV) color space to name a few. (Most normal cameras only use R/G/B subpixels to make up an image, the F828's sensor uses four...

Well damn. ..I didn't think about the dichro. I don't mind buying another dichro and getting it cut to the same specs as the original blue one. (Just have to find some suppliers who carry a 490nm dichro lol) And no...sadly I haven't found a cheaper source for the plt5 488. BUT its totally...

Ok I have made a breakthrough. I am buying an Osram 60mw 488nm cyan laser diode to replace one of my blue diodes in the showwx+. The diode is the plt5 488. It has high modulation bandwidth and can do cw and pulsed operation. The only downside is its a TO56 package instead of a TO38 package. (I...

Since I have so many showwx+ projectors I think I am going to just dump more raw power into the optics of 1 projector's RGB sled with the other lasers from the projectors and combine the beams with a PBS cube since the lasers have to go through beam shaping optics before the dichros anyway. The...

Because all other projectors do not have the color quality that lasers have. Brightness uniformity is excellent in the Show WX+. It's amazing how precisely the scanning mirror + lasers can be driven. The only exception to this is the geometry, where the image bows on all four sides, however...

(BUMP) Does anyone even make a 3.8mm 490nm cyan diode?:thinking:

Hey Holokidd, Any luck yet on the lasers. My Ultimate color plates are itching to be used.:drool: From what I understand all 3 lasers should work well for holography due to the long coherence. (Thus the excessive speckle in the showwx+ projectors. Drop me a PM or we can chat here as I know...

So you guys all had awesome ideas! Since the Show wx+ is 848x400 resolution... I will take my six pico projectors and a frame splitter (or series of splitters), and get 1696x1200. If I use nine, I can get 2544x1200. Of course, mounting is still going to be a challenge. I will post updates in...

Hey holokidd. Is it possible to make full color hoograms with these lasers? (I do holography too.)

I agree with goldcoast, any progress on how to bypass the DS1?

Ok, believe it or not, not all showWX+ models are the same.:thinking: Here is an overview of the lasers output for all the models Showwx Red AlGalnP laser diode 90 mW 635-645nm Blue GaN laser diode 50 mW 440-460nm Green Frequency doubled IR laser diode 60 mW 526-537nm Showwx+ MPN...

Oh bummer about the yellow.:yabbem: What about a 490nm cyan diode instead of the blue diode in one of the projectors? Would that work? I want to use the Sony DSC-F828 with 4-Color RGBE CCD to film a special color movie for playback on a homemade RGBE small rear projection laser based (showwx+)...
