We provide to the customers a 60 cm (on diameter) Spherical Mirror with a luxury and strong travel box for Full Dome Projections. 2. DLP Digital Projector Current Digital Projectors are based on DLP technology, better than the old LCD Tehnology. DLP technology in actual Digital projectors given us very dark "backgrounds" and not the classical "grays" of the LCD. Also, DLP technology provides a very high contrast and luminosity for sucessful projections into a dome. The client can choose any DLP Digital Projector provided by the best international companies like Sony, Sharp, Infocus, etc. In this way the client again will save hundreds and even thousands dollars purchasing the Digital Projectors in his/her own country :) Client should keep in mind 3 considerations to choose a DLP Digital Projector: 1) Contrast 2) Brightness 3) Resolution. Of course: highest values, better results :) Highest contrast relations give best images. Contrast relation is more important than brightness. We recommend choose the highest possible contrast relation, brightness and resolution. For example the DLP Digital Projector in the market can be founde with contrast relationships between 2000:1 to 12.000:1 or more and luminosity between 1800 - 2100 lumens or more and resolutions larger than 780 pixels x 1024 pixels. We recommend again: highest values, better results :), but obviuosly it will depend of the client budget. Mr Paul Bourke from New Zealand, creator of the Full - Dome System with Mirrows recommend: "I realise that price is always important but the quality fom SXGA+ (1400x1050) is significanly better than XGA. I have had good success with the DELL 5100 MP projector that is the lowest cost SXGA+ projector. I am aware of, about 3500 australian dollars" 3. DVD player, Laptop or Computer or any Peripherical support for the videos and animations. The DLP Digital Projectors have VCR, USB and other usual ports to be connected to any peripherical equipment like DVD Players, Laptops, computers, etc. You can use any of them or even all them to keep your animations, videos and images. Of course the client will decide taking in mind the own budget. 4. "Warp" videos or animations to be projected into the dome. Warp is a computer effect provided by some pluggins to usual programs like Adobe After Effects and other more complex softwares. WARP effect is applied to the videos and animations to avoid the distortions introduced by the spherical shapes of the domes. Warp effect modify the videos and animations as if you see them with a "fish eye" lens. This modification is in relation with the diameter of the dome. So modify the videos and animations is necessary to see a full dome projection without distortions. Of course, the client can do this "warp effect" on the videos having the programs. However the client can purchase this videos and animations to any company around the world. Of course, we provide the clients with videos, animations and educational softwares. Conclusions: Our criteria brings to the customers the possibility to make their own configurations, varying DVD players, laptops, digital projectors, etc. So we provide the following components 01. The Core of a Full Dome Projection System: The Spherical Mirror 02. 10 DVDs with a Warp Videos, Animations and Freeware to make spectacular shows into the Dome. All them are provided for free with Progress System.
