It's interesting that you have to move the projector, rather than it being on a track. The Lamp house basically is the same as any Xenon Lamp house (non GT) . Loved the video. Thank you.
Awesome and no problem! When I originally made these tutorials it was to help my employees understand the projectors we use. I had no idea how many variations of IMAX projectors where out there at the time. There are some really cool film ones that are huge.
@@mathiscoenen9633 how complicated would it be to make a 70mm projector, I mean it's only a projector lamp, plumbing for cooling, bunch of rotors and a lens, right? When I have enough money I will try to design one and make it in reality
@@mathiscoenen9633 IMAX projectors don't even use a Geneva cross. They use a rolling loop system instead, which is much gentler on the film but more complex and requires compressed air to form the film into a loop. In fact, the compressed air is what makes IMAX projectors sound like engines when they're running.
Christie projector very easy to install lamp, unlike Barco. Lamp power are good running no pressure of lamp. Barco projector very pressure of lamp power.
You are correct. I originally made these tutorials for my employees to better understand the projectors we use. I had no idea at the time the amount of variations of IMAX projectors that were out there. They have some really cool gigantic film ones.
Cause those lamps are like under like 400psi in the bulb. Mishandle it and could go off like a grenade. Don’t need anyone messing in there unless you got a key.

This particular projector is on a manual track but sets on pedestals to keep from moving while the movies are playing. I appreciate the love :)
thanks for the video, just got an imax projector system and needed a tutorial!

Nice tutorial, now the question comes to how can I set an imax projector at home 😂
I am wondering the same, a 70 mm projector for my home theatre is that even possible!!!
@@manojkonar3969yes off course. No problem. Lots of cinemas just threw them out because of the digitalisation.

@@manojkonar3969 ever heard of the Geneva Cross?
Not really possible to make it from scratch without losses during operation.

Great video, very short lifespan 900 hours. But those lamps run under immense large currents, temperatures and pressures. An expensive item for sure.
holy shit what a hassle, and only a 1,000 hour lifetime! wow.
Which is 35-40 days give or take if it runs 12 hours a day
How much is such a bulb?
7:04
WARNING LAMP MAY EXPLODE
POSSIBLE BODILY HARM OR DEATH
Not too many light bulbs come with that kind of warning.
I believe the latest state-of-the-art projectors use a laser for light source?
Those still only put out 4K resolution. 70mm 15-perf IMAX film is roughly 18K, any current digital system is a huge downgrade from that.
Christie projector very easy to install lamp, unlike Barco. Lamp power are good running no pressure of lamp. Barco projector very pressure of lamp power.
very cool!
Thank you :)
Had one of these MF blow up in my hands as I was removing it not fun
Best music ever
Look on desc
I had a 15K explode in my lamp house once. Took nearly a day to vacuum out the debris.
Makes a nasty mess that's for sure
❤️⚡
wow it"s made in phillipines
Why power (W) of lamps are so low? Bcs of doesn't running anything?
That’s an old IMAX digital projector using Christie Series 1 projectors under the IMAX covers.
But: ok, it said IMAX.

They do actually get maintenance and support from IMAX technicians though
@@cinemaguide7958 yeah, went to Prague recently to see Oppenheimer on 70 mm 15 perf IMAX film 🤭👍🏻👍🏻🎞🎞.
Made some pics in the booth 🤓
Why the gloves ? Seems to make everything so much harder.
If the lamp explodes it would do your hand some serious damage.
This is correct on both comments. It is much easier to do without but don't recommend due to the risk.
@@cinemaguide7958Are there people handling such dangerous bulbs without gloves or other PPE though ?
Mmmmmm😊
Why does the lamp access door have a lock on it ?
Cause those lamps are like under like 400psi in the bulb. Mishandle it and could go off like a grenade. Don’t need anyone messing in there unless you got a key.
@@cannibaltrout8030 Thank's.
