PHAENON accurate

Powerful laser projector in handbag format

First Full Color Laser Projector of the Well-Known PHAENON Series with Ethernet AVB Support
This projector was designed for all laser applications without elaborate installation, e.g. for exhibitions which are presented in different locations in a short period of time.
All components are integrated in compact, ultra-light carbon housing and the projector can be used in the studio, on stage or wherever you want.
Via the LAN AVB interface on the projector, studio equipment e.g. a mixing console for audio, video can be connected directly.
Signal sources with an ILDA compliant output can be connected too.
The PHAENON accurate is based on a high value laser module consisting of red, green and blue laser diodes which is developed and manufactured by LaserAnimation.
The laser diode driver “LDT triple” developed by LaserAnimation guarantees a completely balanced projection picture. All color curves are calibrated so that mixed colors do not change when fading in or out.
The required laser safety is ensured by interlock loop and internal scan fail safety circuit. Furthermore, the optional beam blocker set can be used to limiting the laser output in order to protect the audience in a certain area.
Monitoring of important functions and adjusting of operating parameters are easily possible using the intuitive “LA.toolbox” software installed on PC or Mac computer.

Application Examples

The well-known installation artist and musician R. Henke is enthusiastic about the new high-performance laser projectors with pocket-size.

He has used several PHAENON accurate projectors for his projects “Spline” and “Phosphor”..

PHAENON Mainboard Product Details

Electronic mask

This important function allows limiting the laser output for certain areas. The intensity of the laser beam can be adjusted in a range from 0% to 100% for each individual shape created with the editor. This makes it possible to correctly protect specific scanning areas such as the auditorium or sectors with optical equipment (video beamers, cameras). The big advantage of this mask, which is configured in the projector, compared to a mask generated in the show controller is the fact that programming errors which may occur when a show is edited will not disable the mask.

Color correction

Via the integrated color correction, the color channels can be adjusted from 0% to 100% with a resolution of 24 bit. With “White” the power for each laser source is calculated and corresponds to True White D65. With the function “Advanced” delays of the diodes can be set with a resolution of 5.2 µs.

DGC Mapping

Digital Geometic Correction

With Digital Geometric Correction, the projection image can be easily corrected and used for projectors or show controllers without integrated DGC. Sixteen different geometrical correction setups are available. For each setup the DGC Input and Output can be adjusted individually and the laser image can be corrected for projection on uncommen projection surfaces. For example: The projection surface is uneven and consists of two panels positioned at an angle. One half of the DGC Input has to be displayed on the left side of the uneven projection surface and the other half on the right side. First you choose which area of the DGC Input you want to display on the projection surface. Then, you correct the DGC Output so that the projection of the image is displayed correctly on the area of the projection surface.

The Laser Disable Button is a special safety button to interrupt the laser output via Ethernet. The Laser Disable Button can be easily integrated into the network and configured. The status of up to four different Laser Disable Buttons can be monitored via the PHAENON settings.

LA.toolbox Software

With this intuitive software it is possible to control important functions of the laser projector and adjust operating values. The LA.toolbox is available as a PC version and Mac version. Both are supplied with every laser projector and are also available for download.

One Start Screen for all Connected Projectors

Clearly arranged interface to control each projector

Comprehensive Projection Settings

For all adjustments of the projection an internal test picture can be used in the projection menu. All settings concerning the projection

horizontal, vertical size
inversion
position offset
keystone correction and rotation

Comfortable "Timer Settings"

A timer can be used to switch the state of the laser at a predefined time. For instance the laser can switch from “Run” to “Standby” mode. Drop down menus are used to set the state which the laser is to switch to when a timer triggers as well as the date or date range (from/to), time of day and day of the week. Up to 6 timers can be configured.

ILDA Settings

Status Settings

Four laser statuses can be selected for laser operation: “Shutdown” I “Standby” I “Test 10%” I “Run”. In the “Shutdown” mode the drivers are deactivated and the temperature control is inactive. This saves considerable amounts of energy. In “Standby” there is no current to the laser sources, which also saves energy. However, in contrast to “Shutdown” their operating temperature is maintained. This has the advantage that switching from “Standby” to “Run” is possible much more quickly. One advantageous option is the automatic “Shutdown” resp. “Standby” function. This switches the laser into the corresponding operating mode in case no ILDA signal is present for a specific adjustable period of time (for instance at the end of a show). The device will use less electricity and cool off better.

Detailed Information Concerning the Internal Laser Sources

Electronic Masking - Laser safety in a new dimension

With this new safety technology we give users the option to use a graphics editor to flexibly define protected areas in a laser projection. The editor can be used in way similar to a vector based graphics program to create a mask from geometric shapes (polygons, circles and rectangles). Safety parameters can then be defined individually for each of these shapes.

Two different mask functions are available:
1. Electronic Mask This important function allows limiting the laser output for certain areas. The intensity of the laser beam can be adjusted in a range from 0% to 100% for each individual shape created with the editor. This makes it possible to correctly protect specific scanning areas such as the auditorium or sectors with optical equipment (video beamers, cameras). The big advantage of this mask, which is configured in the projector, compared to a mask generated in the show controller is the fact that programming errors which may occur when a show is edited will not disable the mask.
2. Safety Mask For safety reasons every laser projector is equipped with a scanner safety circuit to protect the audience. This mechanism determines the sum of the scanner velocities for the horizontal and vertical deflection of the beam and compares this to the predefined minimum speed. In case the beam velocity is below the minimum or if the beam is completely motionless this safety mechanism will block the laser beam.

For allowing beam effects with a stationary beam anyway in areas where the audience is not at risk, for instance below the ceiling, the “Safety Mask” can be used to graphically define several areas where a static beam will be possible, see picture. (Up to now only one rectangular safety area could be defined.)

Adjustable Beam Superposition

The Phaenon X laser projectors are equipped with a motorized beam adjustment for superposing the beams. This internal component allows an easy and comfortable adjustment of the beam superposition. This is a big advantage of the Phaenon X projectors which users will certainly appreciate.
The position of the individual beams can change over time when the projectors are frequently transported, set up and taken down again. Until now the beams could only be adjusted using the small adjustment screws on the side of the device. In everyday use the projectors are often already installed in a stage setup, e.g. attached to a truss high up, when the laser is turned on and the beam misalignment is discovered. This used to mean the laser had to be taken down again for adjustment. This considerable effort is no longer necessary using the “Beam Adjust” of the LA Toolbox Software.
