Hello-
We're using DLP projectors for a research project, and I would like to remove the color wheel to maximize the full white intensity I can achieve. Does anyone know how hard it would be to non-destructively remove the color wheel or lock it in the white position on an IN38 projector? I can probably get away with temporarily removing a part from our lab's projectors, and maybe injecting a signal from a uc if it is obviously safe to do so, but I can't get away with doing anything irreversible.
I understand there is some sort of sync signal going from some flavor of encoder on the color wheel to the microcontroller. If this sync signal is lost, will the DMD stop updating entirely, or will it display the pattern for a single channel, still updating with each frame sent over DVI?. (I'm hoping for the latter).
Are the color wheels in these projectors usually transmissive or reflective? (I'm hoping for the former)
Thanks,
Drew
