5kW Projector Reiche & Vogel
5kW Projector
From 1960 catalogue:
As scenic projection becomes increasingly important in theater, there is a growing demand for high-performance, high-brightness projectors. The excellent light output of the 5000-watt large-format projector ensures a bright, evenly illuminated image, rendered sharp and largely distortion-free by high-quality optics.
The slide stage accommodates two slide sizes -18x18 cm and 13x13 cm - which can be rotated by approximately 10° within the projection plane using a fine-adjustment mechanism. A small fan is installed to cool the glass slides. The slide stage and the lens mount (featuring interchangeable optics with an 82.5 mm diameter) are mounted on two rails extending from the front of the unit; they can be slid along these rails and locked at any desired distance from the condenser. Two shutters positioned between the slide stage and the lens mount allow for soft-edge transitions when switching between images.
The unit is mounted on a mobile, four-legged tubular stand and features screw-driven adjustments for both height and lateral positioning.
