CES 2012 Preview
January 10, 2012 | 
Author This blog offers a preview of some products being introduced at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) being held this week (Jan. 10-13) in Las Vegas. The products discussed below are limited to only those that have been announced in advance of the Tuesday (Jan. 10th) start of the show. While CES traditionally is not the primary trade show for the introduction of new home theater oriented projectors (CEDIA in the USA and IFA in Europe are where most manufacturers introduce new home theater projectors), it is the premier trade show for the introduction of most other consumer electronics products. This includes new flat panel HDTVs, Audio/Video Receiver, Speakers, etc., as well at computers, networks, smart phones, automotive electronics, and many electronic gadgets. Art (from Projector Reviews) is attending the CES and will be reporting via Podcast (Info HERE and the Podcast site it HERE) on projector related (home theater or business) products being introduced at the show.

3D Crosstalk/Ghosting – PART 2 and Silver Screens
This blog is a continuation of my previous blog (HERE) of December 14, 2011 on “3D Crosstalk/Ghosting – Part 1” and also is a follow-up to my earlier blogs discussing screens for 3D projection (i.e., blogs from August 19th, August 31st, and December 1st. For the continuing discussion from my most recent blog on 3D Crosstalk, I have now completed measurements of the 3D crosstalk level from my JVC DLA-RS40 projector and for the further discussion on screens for 3D projection I have taken a quick look at sample “silver screen” materials from both Stewart and Da-lite that are being marketed for use with passive 3D projection systems, that use polarization for their 3D separation, as well as suitable to 2D projection.

3D Crosstalk/Ghosting – PART 1
For this Blog (and the next) I will focus on the subject of 3D crosstalk, or frequently called 3D ghosting. This undesired effect occurs when portions of the image intended to be seen by one eye become visible to the other eye. This ‘leakage’ of information between the right and left visual channels may occur with virtually any 3D display technology, but certain display/projection technologies are more prone to have a level of 3D crosstalk that rises to the point of being objectionable for most viewers. For this initial blog (i.e., Part 1) on the subject of 3D crosstalk, I will discuss the principle sources for 3D crosstalk for both active 3D and passive 3D projection system and in Part 2 (i.e., my next blog) I will provide, as an example, results from testing 3D crosstalk on my own JVC DLA-RS40 projector.

First Take on Stewart “Reflections Active 170″ Screen
For this blog I will be discussing a new front projection screen material being marketed specifically for use with 3D projectors. I will taking a look at the new Stewart Filmscreen Relections Active 170TM screen material with a rated gain of 1.7. Screens using this material are being sold for use with 3D projectors that use active shutter 3D glasses. Stewart also offers a screen material called 5D (more on that in a future blog) that is marketed for use with passive 3D projection systems. This blog reports on testing of sample of the screen material (actually a less than 1 square foot sample and not an entire screen). For reference a sample of Stewart’s well regarded StudioTek 100TM screen material (gain 1.0) was used. Read the rest of this entry »
BenQ W7000 Update & Discussion of Lens Shift, Offset, Zoom Ratio, etc.
This blog provides some additional information on the upcoming BenQ W7000 DLP 3D projector, as a follow-up to my previous blog on DLP projectors (HERE). This blog also discusses the characteristics and importance a projector’s zoom ratio, throw ratio and lens shift adjustment. The upcoming BenQ W7000 looks particularly interesting in that it has an especially wide range (for a DLP projector) lens shift adjustment as well as 1.5x zoom ratio combined with a relatively high power 300 watt lamp.

DLP 3D Projection Technology – Part 2
This blog continues the discussion of DLP 3D projection technology. In my previous blog I provided a brief history of DLP projectors and an overview of the DLP technology. This 2nd blog on the subject continues with a summary of the current and soon-to-be-released DLP 3D projectors. I also provide some preliminary news about a upcoming 3D projector using a laser light engine. Read the rest of this entry »

Getting it Bright Enough
This blog is the follow-up to my earlier blog from before the CEDIA show. That earlier blog was from August 31 and was titled “Screens for 3D Projection – Part 2”. This new blog will be my wrap up, for now, on projection screens for 3D, but I’m certain there will addition future blogs that will cover the topic of screens. Read the rest of this entry »
