Hi it's mystery mailbag tear down time by a popular request on the twitterverse I Put up a poll and everyone wanted this instead of uh, a new thing keysight sent in. So here it is Mystery tear down hi to all my Norwegian viewers and thank you very much Morton like Vol uh for sending this one in all the way from uh Norway come at the right angle um it's a bit of a mess. it's almost kamagats are in the uh Postal System but to get like I did not cut that. So yeah.

all right I think I'm going to put this on the floor and apparently it is defective so we don't have to tear it apart gently. All right. It's got no handles at all smooth. Ah Jesus Bobby does luck.

It's a it's a Cyvix Cybix, the Cervix projector. We're gonna project us onto a Cervix, are we? Well, there it is. It's a Cyvix brand. Never heard of it, but apparently it's a panoramic projector powered Optics and lens shift.

Oh fancy. but look at that. I mean it's all the way back. Look that oh something comes out here you go.

Oh it's got a screen on it. Oh wow oh this is a well look fancy pantsy. Oh my goodness. um yeah it's and what's an export I don't know but uh look, it's got a duel link dvi's It's got two Vgas, got the Um Rgbs, and what the hell, we've got an Rs-232 we've got 3D sync so it's a 3D panoramic projector and uh, two HDMI inputs.

It's got the Ethernets so maybe you can stream to it I don't know, but it's got a screen and everything like and this is serious. Look: we can Iris shutter. This is a serious bit of Kit Um, we can choose all our different inputs and then we can change the iris and the shutter and the zoom and the focus and the what nots on it. Um, that's very impressive.

Wow yeah. I've never seen that sort of array of ports on a projector before. Um I don't know if you ever used it. leave it in the comments down below got a bit of foam stuck in there.

uh, like. apparently it is defective. so I don't know I might be able to Power It Up we might get something on the screen. maybe hazardous moving.

Parts Warning: Will Robinson um yeah and the foam has gone all the way in there. and I see a big uh centrifugal fan in there? so uh yeah, could come gutter if I turn it on. but oh look, but look at this. Still got the factory uh protection film on it 4K film porn.

Oh and it's made in Norway Wow I don't think we've ever torn down anything made in Norway Have we leave it in the comments and on the other side here, it's just got uh, two lamps inside. So I don't know? Should we pair it up and just see us, see if any lights come on? Yeah, why not gonna violate my own rule? It's going to plug in the mains here and see what see what happens? Switcher on. Oh yeah, got something on the screen. Yep starting up but I've been told it is defective so come on.

Oh geez. Twitter your thumbs oh I think I'll play some Galaga while I'm waiting. the fan just started up after the boot up and there's our foam. It's come back out and uh, it's yeah.

look at that kind of boots up. Color: Temperature: 65 000 Kelvin Gamma: Wow, you can adjust it all. but yeah. I'm told the projector doesn't work so it's been run for 2300 hours remaining.

Life zero left in that lamp and uh, 983 hours remaining in the second lamp shuts. Unknown Shutter: no lens mounted 11 000 hours This sucker's been used for So yeah, it's had some use. Um yeah. and the lens was missing from the front.

That seemed obvious. Well that clinches it. Tear down time. So yeah, you can see the size of like I can like put my whole hand in there right? There's a there's a lot missing in this sucker.

and yeah, that that comes out so it looks like there's like a big like a big lens assembly that goes in the front so that's obviously missing. It's the full blurb. It's the F-35 uh Wqxga uh resolution vs. Bright Infotech right? exp XT in Black Metallic color I guess um yeah.

Anyway, it's an 800 watt jobby so made in Norway Beautiful. Looks like the top cover here is going to lift off. We've got all these screws around the outside off metal threaded inserts. Thank you very much.

Um, has anyone got any clue what this thing cost? Um yeah. some sort of you know, massive I'll put up an image is what it's supposed to look like. some sort of massive wide projection panoramic. Uh yeah, like a PC projection thing.

So this is not something that you'd be watching your Top Gun Mavericks on. This is, uh, more for, uh, really projecting a computer screen to a very large. like a large audience on a massive screen. Although it's pretty dated these days.

but I'm sure it was the dark skirts back in the day. Lamps still in there look at that and that is uh, RFI shielded as well. that'll be conductive I bet your bottom dollar. Yeah, Pretty.

Schmick There you go. There's our lamp assembly. Wow, look at that. That's a Bobby doesler and it cost a small fortune.

but that lamp assembly is just an impressive bit of Kit Unbelievable. So you know what is it? like a like a halogen lamp kind of thing. So they've got like an intelligent board on here which uh you know has got like ID. It's probably got uh, you know, service life and stuff like that.

Maybe an E-square prom on there or something like that that tells it the ID and when it was installed, how many hours it's been operating? Um, and maybe I Don't know. Is it there's a temp sensor in there? somewhere? Probably. Oh, that's made in China though assembled in Norway though. Um, but yeah, isn't that an impressive bit of Kit What would the replacement cost you? And inside there is super impressive as well.

Look at the that's actually a filter lens in there. Foreign like Flynn Check it out! Wow, that's got a lot of stuff in it that is damn impressive. Um I see an Altera Cyclone in the back? but wow. and the massive Die Cast alloy heatsink for the uh projector? Let's RFI uh.

sponge there going up to the top so they're serious with the RFI Well, there's the DRP projector heatsink actually. Um, so I'm not sure what the huge die-cast body is doing that's dissipating heat as well I guess. but geez, looks like an engine block. Ah, it's just serious bit of kid.

Oh I Love the Samtech board to board interconnect. There you go. For your inner connect aficionados, look at that. Bobby Dazzler.

Well, this thing's got so many fans in it and two on this side, two on the other side. And it's got limit switches and all sorts of safety interconnects that it's got basically a dedicated board here that actually connects everything. like all the mechanical type stuff. I I Think that that? Well, there's a motor down there, but that one since be going up to a connector board on the top here which goes over to the Uh DRP assembly.

By the looks of it, we've got limit switches up here which engage when uh, the lab doors go in so it'll automatically cut them out like as a safety in lock. So you know people don't blind themselves or they don't. You know it'd be super hot and it'd stay hot. And they've got warning stickers all over it and everything.

There's the money shot for that one for those playing along at home. And wow, Check out all the uh nickel screen in conductive nickel screening around here as well. right around the front panel. This just is going to lift out.

Yeah, this whole panel assembly is going to lift out, that is. That is beautiful design and we can just get access into the end there to the DLP projector and everything else. Terrific stuff. And there are two of these power supplies.

You saw one on the other side there and um, yeah, these looks great. Nip on Chemicon, thank you very much. It looks looks like because I would have two of these. Uh, no coincidence that we've got two lamps.

So I presume they're just for powering the lamps. so that's going to be our DLP uh chip in there. DLP is Digital Light uh processing basically using micro mirrors to actually, um, reflect, uh, the light out the front of the lens. and yeah, for that, look at this.

look at that. Sam Tech Connector: check out that Samtec connector I could charge subscription on only fans for that. So fan wise, as I said, they got these two here. They got two on the other side as well.

So these are angle this is a Sunon Maglev. uh Joby another soon on over here so these aren't one hung low Brands here which of course blows across these heatsink fins here. These ones don't get much love um top and bottom. but anyway, that blows across.

but then they've got this huge Die Cast alloy. it looks like a big donk. Look at it. Unbelievable.

We get a bloody Victor lawnmower and then it's got got our infrared receivers here and there's one on front as well I Believe so in Corners So it doesn't matter where you are in the room, don't sorry I Thought I was shooting in 4k but the camera was set to 1080p so everything up until now has been 1080p upscale. but now it's like we're on to 4K Okay, it's all Happening Here you go. So here's the main processing board. Vxp by Sigma no idea.

It's a custom uh, you know, application specific processor for this sort of business. Got a couple of analog guard devices uh, drivers over here that'd be for your LCD which is over this side here. um and someone has thoughtfully provided, but we've got a 4D Gig micro SD card I would presume that's got like the firmware on it and then it looks like you can upgrade the firmware over here. So I'm sure that's what that's for Our Terra Cyclone 3 Joby over here.

Uh, we've got a free scale uh, processor over here. That's another Altera jobby with a tiny heatsink on it by the looks of it. But anyway, there you go. That is a serious board in its own right.

Ah, keep that might be something useful on it. Yeah, there's the DLP board again in 4k, but I'll do that once again. we get it off. There's our power supply again in 4k and the soon on Maglev Jobbie up there.

And there's that main interface board for all the fans and all the whatnots, and uh, controlling all sorts of miscellaneous stuff that the main process couldn't care about. Mmm. toasty. Check it out.

and that was the plate under that. uh, main interface board there? Oh, Ernie Bernie Oh, check it out. This is in front of the lamp and you can see the color wheels here. isn't that? Oh, it's a thing of beauty.

A joy forever. look at that. So yeah, both lamps have their own dedicated color wheel and here's the PCB that we went. On top of that, we've actually got a decode on there date code 2004.

Oh, isn't it pretty? Look at that. Beautiful. So oh, it's got a can you see? Yeah, yeah, you can see it on the screen. It's got like a curved thing on there.

Why does it have sort of like a curved bit going in there like that? You know what that's doing? I Don't know exactly, but oh, it looks like you play with those all day. Beautiful. So these giant lamps go in, then through the color wheels, then go into this tiny little glass light guide like this so there'd be a 45 degree mirror in there so it bounces that along goes along comes through here as well. there'd be another like splitter.

Then they both head off over here into the DLP projector system. Inc Inside this massive Die Cast block. Here, it's it's really something else. And I assume that all these gaps in here are for like alignment purposes.

so these be would be aligned by someone in the production. So I presume this would be assembled by gray bearded nude virgins at the factory with their tongue at the right angle. Um, to get the exact uh Optical angles required in there. So yeah, they've I Think they've deliberately done like a bit of play in there so that you can fiddle around with that and calibrate it.

Someone was thinking when they designed this diecast alloy case. Get my screwdriver through there and take out that screw. Beautiful. There you go.

Isn't that beautiful and the light just pops out there. The combined light from both lamps just props out there into the DLP projection part of it. I'm actually having a real hard time trying to get the rest of this apart because it requires really long uh Torx screwdrivers to get right down to the bottom down in here to get stuff out like I'm able to get just on an angle slightly here. but geez, it's ah, it's not good.

Well, there's a really nice power supply module that's a keeper. You might be able to use that for something. Uh, no expense spared in any of this. It all uses uh, top quality brand parts, but you'd expect this: This thing costs an absolute Fortune It's designed for 24 7 operation.

Uh, and it's like as top of the line as you can get in these sorts of, uh, professional projectors. I'm trying to get this front assembly out. There's three long screws in here that feel like, well, they're not that long. but damn they had Loctite and they were hard to get out and they feel like it's all spring-loaded together or something.

like there was some pressure holding that in at some multi-part Uh, well, it's not even a lens because the lens goes the screws on the outside here and you can get different lenses for different uh functions and capabilities. even something about some sort of infrared thing I Don't know. Yeah, there seems to be some Springs between these plates here as I loosen this other one. Oh yeah yeah.

I can see the spring in there front assembly is held on bike like why would you like Sprint spring decouple the front Anyway, they've gone to that sort of effort. I mean this thing is just incredible and by the way I found out uh I found the data sheet for this thing and the lamps in this. They were actually, um, hot swappable so you can keep your presentation going um, while your brightness went to half or whatever and you could race around and change you. uh, lamping the thing I mean you know it's really designed for as I said 24 7 Operation and professional operation.

There you go. We've got the front assembly out. That's just that. uh, that's another lens.

that's just that plastic protection thing. Perhaps they're actually using that to, uh, decouple the vibration from the fans in this thing. Um, to the lens? That'd be my guess I Don't know if you've got any other better reason. leave it in the comments down below, but geez, you know that's it's pretty impressive stuff.

This is spared no expense. It got Die Cast alloy for everything. Yeah, unfortunately we can't see anything down there. It's just like a big black shutter or something in there.

Once we get it, uh, further apart, we'll find out. But yeah, a little big. Die Cast alloy block and then this assembly where the lamps went into this is all diecast alloy block once again, separate and bolted onto this huge part. here.

it's just enormous and there's a big uh blower fan under there as well. so just amazing. And you can see that this motor here actually adjusts the this whole uh front assembly so you can actually shift it and you can align the calibration of it so that'd be like a software calibration. You know you could push the button and you can align it so it matches up on the screen where it actually projects to look at how thick the die-cast alloy is on this.

Mongrel Perfect example of where a spinny top uh, driver comes in handy. Look at that. Beautiful. So it looks like this whole assembly is going to hinge once the screws come out.

No, no, it's going to get caught. but I'm gonna need a little bit more leverage on that I think oh yeah, there we go. And none of that self-tapper rubbish either. Got giant big uh metal inserts here.

metal threaded insert like giant posts that actually go in there holding down that whole assembly. Wow, this is built like a brick. Dunny. Okay, I'm hoping this lifts out now that's that's the plan holder in there.

Well there we go. Whoa. look at that. A couple of things I need to get apart I'll get back to you.

this is found like these: Custom Metal bars here that went up like what how much they cost and there's the base of it or nickel screening. Look at that beautiful and uh, there's there's your big blower down in the bottom. geez that could suck a golf ball through 40 foot of garden hose. I Reckon that's what she said.

there's the front panel lens release mechanism has gone to a lot of effort for that and they somehow determined that the nickel screening on the case wasn't enough. So they did this metal shield at the in the base of the main process in. PCB What the? Anyway, oh what's this over here? Well it turns out that's an LM 92 uh I squared C Digital temperature sensor National Joby um yeah, it's mounted over there so they were trying to get I Guess the air is coming in here so I assume that's the ambient, uh, air temperature sensor and that's the thing. Like if you're a penny pinching your design process, there's no way you design that in with this uh, custom cable Loom this custom board and the you know your extra moldings in there and stuff.

Well that doesn't cost any extra in the scheme of things, but you know it's all got to be designed in and thought about and everything else. If you're doing it like on the cheap, you just whack it on the edge of the boarding because the ball light comes out to here or something. So you just Whack It On The Edge there and uh, she'll be right mate, no workers and check out the design touches here. This has been a huge design team effort.

How like this power wiring right which you know, snakes its way through here and all this. Look at this right. They've gone to the effort to mold in posts into this uh fan assembly here and then mold in um, built-in like supports where you can sit in the ferrite uh, beads there where you you know they know how many turns they're going to have and they can wrap it in there and they've designed it all to like for that wiring. it's like usually you don't do that, you don't go to that sort of design effort like integration design effort.

Uh, you would just go oh well. I'll just tape it down. You know she'll be right. So just wow.

Anyway, it looks like this entire Uh fan assembly is just for uh, the lamps. really? Um, so that giant heatsink we saw on the back of the assembly. we'll see in a minute again. Um yeah, that was for the DLP uh projection part of it.

This is for the you know, two I don't know, 800 watt lamps or something. Oh that. Fan's not even screwed in. It's got rubber baby buggy bumpers holding that in soon on.

Once again, they've used Soon on for absolutely everything. Let's go on straight to my miscellaneous fan bin and there you have it. There's the entire DLP assembly. isn't she an absolute beaut? And once again, lamps go in here.

All this big Die Cast that uh, light, uh, combiner that we actually saw there. And as I said, these are hot swappable lamps. You saw the uh, interconnect switches that, uh, that would turn these off the instantly opened, uh, that door. So this thing would be almost guaranteed to keep running.

Uh, like, if one of your fans blow. Okay, you get half the output, but somebody can race in there and uh, change it while the presentation is, uh, still going. And then we've got the whole shift assembly. The whole lens, uh, shifting there.

There's another motor down there, so maybe it does shift in that direction as well. Yeah, that's almost certain. So there you go. Oh, look at that and they got limit switches on there.

Check it out. so you know the software detects when it gets to end of travel there and just cuts out and leave. That motor goes in the Y direction like that. So X and Y alignment of your lens and check out these custom screws and grommets in there.

Look at that. Beautiful. like you wouldn't get that off the shelf would you? So that's an interesting interface. Look at that.

There's a bigger, the bigger gear uh, reduction mechanism in there and they've just got this, um, little blade that goes into here which then that just turns that shaft in there. um, that's kind of groovy. Why not? And this is all metal, none of that plastic rubbish. Gotta remember, this is just for the lens shift.

okay, which you only like. do once usually or you know, not very often. We've got a Japanese motor here. no workers that goes straight into my motor bin.

and let's have a look look at this. look at the effort they gone to there. Wow. Um, I don't know what.

uh, reduction that is. but that's just insane to go to that sort of effort just to shift the y-axis of the lens assembly. I Wow. But the x-axis is near identical except, uh, it's got the shaft coming right out with the same interface which then goes over to here.

and then you can see the uh, those metal rods that we had there. They've got, uh, two of those, one either side and that's what the y-axis uh, part of the head assembly actually, uh, rests on with what looks like our bearings in there as well to get a nice smooth ride. Unbelievable. Oh gotta wonder what that's doing down in there.

My guess would be some sort of uh, light level sensor or something that sensing what light is internal inside the whole assembly And it'd be my guess. So can the mechanical engineers out there? Please rate this on a scale of over engineering? Gotta remember, this is a projector, right? It's all it does is it projects a computer screen onto. You know, Granted, it's probably one of the world's best. uh, let me know.

Also in the comments down below, if you, uh, no of a better one, and by the way, look, they've molded in that screwdriver. they thought about that. you know that is actually a screwdriver slot to stick your screwdriver through and uh oh, it's just yeah. um oh.

actually, that's surprisingly light. I think that might be a magnesium alloy. So I don't know I could get a torch to it and find out. So I was just surprised by the lightness of that.

So I think that's a magnesium magnesium alloy and also a mechanical tooling. Experts rate the complexity of that mold piece. Please once again rate complexity out of 10 down in the comments down below. like that is one piece and it's like it's got things in the way down.

you know I know a little bit about molding. Maybe I can just like oh, was that like a do they do it like in two halves and then put it and then stick it together somehow. I'm not I'm not sure. but yeah, that's just one impressive bit.

a kid isn't it just to hold the lamps and to do the light combination as well. But jeez, and hello I spy another shaft in there I spy another adjustable thing that looks like an adjustable lens here. which is this is the incoming light from the lamps. So let's get this structure apart and oh wait, there's a look at that.

There's a mirror on the bottom. Wow. I Did not expect I I Did not expect a mirror um to be in like on the back if that alloy housing and they've got this black. Uh, obviously for optical uh reasons.

So the light comes through here like this this. I think this is adjustable or something's adjustable in there? Oh no, no, it's this that's adjustable. Not sure what's going on. so this black party's up the far end.

So I guess they don't want any. Reflections When the light comes in, if there is any stray light, they don't want light actually reflecting off this end and coming back and spoiling the image. So that's a nice touch. So what it looks like is the light comes in here like this: bounces off that mirror there, which then bounces off that mirror you saw in the top of here like this and then that bounce and then so it comes in, bounces off that bounces off this and then bounces into the DLP assembly down in here.

I'm not sure what this is doing here once again. Um yeah, that's actually what I thought was a sensor. a light sensor before. On the outside, it was obviously a motor of some description because this looks like a little motor and you saw that shaft on there before.

So this is somehow adjusting this which is some sort of filter. Um, because it's not a mirror so it's some sort of Optical filter and it's just I don't see how it's quite in the light. Oh, does it swing out or something? No. I can't see how that actually works at the moment.

I'm gonna have to think about it for a bit, but actually I don't believe that's a motor I believe it's a solenoid so this somehow somehow flips or something. It does something. and as I showed, there's another one on the bottom down here as well. So there's another something inside there that flips I'm guessing.

ah, that would be there you go. That would be this protective shutter down here. and there you have it. I did flip that out of the way.

You could do that manually and we can see our DLP sensor down in there. Whoa. I Have to get that under the microscope. And if you look through this lens assembly here, then you can see the sensor in there and that sensor is showing my hand over here like that.

So the Optics in this thing are just they. They're just absolutely marvelous. There's lots of precision that goes into these. Optics It's just absolutely incredible.

All right, let's see what's behind the heatsink. Well, I know what's behind the heatsink. It's the um, oh there we go. Big heatsink on the back of that.

Nice. and we've been mooned. There's the back of our wire. DRP Well, projector I'll call it.

But really, it's just a bunch of mirrors. um, a bunch of uh, software controlled mirrors that, uh, reflect the light. Really, they're actually micro mirrors and uh, yeah, that's they've got to cut out in the PCB there. and there's the part number for those playing along at home.

So I don't know who makes that, but I'm sure it's worth a pretty penny. It's that. probably that DLP chip is probably worth more than you know, entire low-cost You know, consumer projectors cost in their own right. I mean it's yeah.

If anyone has a price, put in the comments: Wow. Check it out. That's actually a pin grid array which is mounted in the like in the actual heatsink itself. and then it.

It just uses a big uh contact pad contact array on the PCB here to uh and to actually connect to it. So yeah, that's pretty groovy, huh? So there's the back of the board and here's the front of the board and all that heatsink and blower assembly comes off there. Aha, there's our DLP engine and there's our main board. I Don't know what that bottom device is because it's got a heatsink glued onto it.

but there's our DLP driver chip and DLP a Texas Instruments technology. There you go. Um, if I can pull up the data sheet for that one, I will and I'll link it in down below because that's the heart of the driving thing for this. So it, that's TI is it? It doesn't have the usual TI logo but a Texas Instruments technology.

So I gotta assume it's associated with Ti In in some aspect. and I Love this. It looks like in the field of DLP projection technology, you don't have any of this. Pin one Rubbish.

You have the angle of it. Well, the incident light angle? I guess uh okay. I think I actually rubbed some of the number off there with my isopropyl wipe. Oops.

Um, Anyway, yeah, this just lists out of here has its own complete assembly. I haven't looked at the bottom yet. I'm going to get this under the microscope and wow there it is. Oh look at our gold plated.

Oh beautiful. Apart from that, what do we got here? it looks like. yeah, that's a that's a big hunk and chunk of glass under there. I Think just the lenses for these things, especially the uh, actual panoramic projection lens itself probably cost 10 times more than what a low-cost consumer projector actually costs.

Ah, looks like that hunk and chunk of glass. There is actually the prism in there like that and it looks like then there's another prism on the top side of that there. So yeah, I don't know why they're using two there. If anyone knows, leave it in the comments Optical Experts Oh, this is just so cool.

I Love it already! I haven't even zoomed in and I Just love the colors on here. Oh my goodness that look at the colors reflecting like it. It looks like colorful wires or something like rainbow wires or something. but that's that's reflecting from.

My Lens Like is that the internal light? Yeah no, that's the internal. like uh my uh. Takano microscope light doing that. Uh, let's zoom in.

Remember the tagano has 40 times. uh, effective. 40 times optical zoom. But look at.

Oh I've got a bloody flicker thing again. I Thought I fixed that by choosing the correct input. Obviously not. Damn it.

Oh no, this is just unusable now. I'm gonna have to swap inputs. Hang on. Wow, that's the worst flicker I've ever seen I've done a video on those flicker.

What actually causes this flicker problem? It's the input chip used on my Um Atem uh my Blackmagic Atem. oh wow. wow. sorry epilepsy.

Warning: there we go. swapped inputs and fixed that. I Thought it's a problem with the inputs one and two on my Blackmagic A10 mini extreme ISO uh switcher. it's just the Ti is it TI chipset used anyway.

I've got videos on that. Go watch it. Um, all right, a bit of noise, don't have enough light here. so anyway, there's the bottom of that so if anyone knows what that is, yeah, it looks like a I think that it was number was better before than I wrote but I rubbed it off with my isopropyl wipe I think Anyway, if I can find info or you've got any info on who makes uh, that DLP sensor, then a sensor.

It's not a sensor, it's A. these are just micro mirrors. but I'm not seeing them now. I'm pretty sure I've looked at micro mirrors in another video and we could physically see them.

but I'm not seeing them here. Maybe it's just got a protective layer on there, which means that we can't adequately see them I know I don't know. but usually you can actually see the physical micro mirrors in there like they're little like hexagonal shaped mirrors. like each individual mirror.

I'm gonna have to get it under a better microscope. Can I go for the Olympus Joby Bloody Technical problems. Look at it. There's something wrong with my HDMI cable I Think the colors aren't coming out properly.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't But we're getting there. We've got that under the Olympus microscope and we can start to see the individual pixels now. a bit higher magnification. we have to readjust our Focus Whoa.

Oh, can't quite get that. It's not quite balanced in terms of flatness on there. But anyway, we can see yeah, the individual little mirrors on there. Wow, it's got a lot of mirrors.

What is it? I think it's uh, what is it? 2180 by a thousand and eighty. I think it's got like uh, 2, 000 and something mirrors. uh by uh, 1080 mirrors. but yeah, we can see the individual mirrors so let's go in that that's 20 times.

so that's 200 times magnification. Let's go in even closer. There you go. That is the best zoom I've got here and we can see the individual mirrors.

so each one of those mirrors can actually has its own little tilt adjustment on it. and yeah, we can just again like it's just unbelievable I really have to tweak the stage on this thing. it's loosey-goosey Yeah. Anyway, I'm not sure why the ones on the edge are like that I'm not sure if they're like Surplus ones or like you know, excess ones, why they're flipped and everything else is like perfectly.

For all, they're flipped in the last position it was flipped on I don't like I don't No, but I'll see if I can get some light at different angles I'll switch off the internal light. No, it's not really. it's not really going to do the business. each one of those is a micro I'm sure I've shown it better in another video I have to find it I did a tear down of something that had micro mirrors in it and I'm sure I did I've made too many videos so we can adjust that and you can kind of see the 3D nature of that I guess for want of a better word because these mirrors they do actually tilt and they can, uh, reflect or reject the light at the incident angle.

hence that incident angle on the PCB You know you've got light coming in at a certain angle and all you've got to do is slightly adjust the micro mirror to turn your pixels off and on. It's just insane technology. It's it's just insane. Um, but yeah.

um. everyone's like using solid state these days, aren't they? No one's does anyone is is DLP still a thing like it was a thing like in the 2000s and stuff. It was all the rage and you can get good and bad ones. This is obviously absolute top of the line.

Interestingly the bottom Edge down there doesn't have like a whole strip. That's like just randomly like tilted. There's the bottom corner down like that. So yeah, I'm not sure why the top has a whole strip or something, but as I said, that might have been like the previous state can actually slide in.

A different light filter like that I think I can see an outline of syntax. Is that an outline of text there or am I Just imagine is that my brain imagining things? Check it out. I Can adjust the aperture for the light like that, you can see the individual pivot point. You can see the individual Pivot Point on each of those mirrors.

Isn't that cool, huh? That's great. Look at that. So yeah, I'd say that they've had that. That's just a previous state.

That's great. So anyway, thank you very much Morton for sending this in at Great expense. Um, from overseas because it does cost a lot to ship these things, you know. Thank you very much to everyone who sends something into the mailbag.

This was absolutely fascinating of top-notch No expense spared engineering for probably one of the top of the line A DLP projectors that's designed for like 24 7 operation Hot swappable things, lens swaps for different panoramic modes and all sorts of different things. As I said, even like some sort of infrared thing or something I don't like to did insane the engineering that's gone into this thing for this professional Market Please leave it in the comments down below if you've ever used one of these, uh, from this company and like how much were these things worth, they've got to be like at least an order of magnitude more expensive than just your regular consumer. DLP projector. and they were pretty pricey back in the day, weren't they? I Don't think anyone does Dlps anymore.

But anyway, leave it in the comments that is absolutely top-notch engineering. Fascinating teardown. Thank you very much. Morton And if you enjoyed that, please give it a big thumbs up.

And as always, discuss down below, catch you next time Foreign.
