I am looking to control the light projected through the film gate on a number of projectors. These projectors all have different specs; some use a 120v lamp, others utilize 8v or 12v lamps. Unfortunately, I don't have schematics for them, so I'm opening a discussion with the experts to see if anyone has any experience with doing this and what I should be looking for (or to avoid).
As further clarification, I am looking to modify these projectors for direct film gate transfer using a camcorder. Light control is critical in getting a good print. To date, I have been removing the existing lamp module and installing MR16 (GU5.3) type halogen or LED lights and running them through a separate dimmer control powered by a DC power supply. Works well, but I'd like to see if I can eliminate a component.
Thanks
Tom
