[Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Does anyone have any expertise/experience around increasing bulb wattage over and above that recommended by projector manufacturer? I want to brighten a 24V/250W 16mm bulb setup, but I obviously don’t want any electrical fires or overheating internally. Is there a breathing area where little if anything would need to be changed internally that is safe? (And no, I don’t want any water-cooled, heat-sinked LED setup, already researched that and it is a bad idea on many fronts.) Thanks. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Well, what is the projector? For the most part it's probably a bad idea. One exception is that if you have projectors that use ordinary incandescent lamps, replacing those with halogen lamps of the same input power and adjusting the condenser and mirror assemblies can give you added brightness safely. But if you have a 24V/250W lamp like the FJL lamp used in the Bauer classroom projectors, you already have about the brightest lamp you're going to get with that input power. Have you considered upgrading to a brighter projector? There are plenty of the Bell and Howell 500-series projectors out there and they are bright and fairly light on film. The 300-series are even lighter on film although more bulky. Avoid the auto-thread 500-series ones, though. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Given that the bulb is 24 Volts means that is powered by a transformer. Installing a bulb with higher current would probably overheat the transformer resulting in excess smoke-never a good thing in electric devices.

[Frameworks] wireless transmission to phones?
While maybe a little outside regular topics, I wonder if anyone has experience transmitting an audio signal to multiple mobile phones. I am planning some outdoor screenings and would love to have the option available for people to plug in their headphones and hear the show more clearly this way. It opens up the possibility of doing screenings in areas that have louder environmental (read: cars) sound as well. I am familiar with the mini fm radio transmission option a la Tetsuo Kogawa, but nobody regularly carries FM receivers with them anymore, and it would be nice to take advantage of walk-by traffic. Bluetooth is limited to 7 receivers I believe, so I was thinking of a live audio broadcast that people could find on the web maybe…? But audio delay is obviously no good. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] wireless transmission to phones?
The idea here would be to stream your audio to a streaming audio service, and the audience would use the app to listen to the stream. The big problem is going to be audio sync. Typically services like ustream the viewer sees or hears the content several seconds later. Even if you had the ability to stream the audio to a real telephone service, there would still be a delay plus the audience would be burning up minutes and battery life to listen in. In reality the best way would be to broadcast over FM. The problem is the most popular phones don't have an FM receiver though. There are ipods that have FM radio so that might address some of the audience.

Any titles that come to your mind? In the US there were a number of Hollywood films in the 1930’s that used sound film to make dramatic musical comedies using musicians and singers who were well known to the public from the new technology of broadcast radio often employing the “backstage musical” motif about a radio show: E.g.. The Big Broadcast. And the famous first music video when MTV launched: ”TV Killed the Radio Star”. Also in the narrative film vein, there’s the start of Renoir’s RULES OF THE GAME, the ham radio bit in Godard’s TWO OR THREE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER, etc. The connections are virtually endless: 40k’s cop films that show police using the brand new technology of police band radio to communicate; the trope of the late night radio personality speaking to night owls, etc. For Hollywood you can do a simple search on IMDB using terms like radio, broadcast, etc to come up with lists.

With a several seconds delay - can you manually offset the audio by a few seconds to compensate, or is it not a constant delay from device to device?

Re: [Frameworks] wireless transmission to phones?
It would likely vary based on available bandwidth and data congestion. I don't think it's a good solution. It's easy to experiment with though. Just sign up for a free ustream account and install the app on a smart-phone and try it.

I want to brighten a > 24V/250W 16mm bulb setup, 250W is the max they make for 24V projectors. You can't get a higher wattage lamp. You probably have an ELC. It's rated at 800 lumens. An ELC-HL, also 250W, is rated at 950 lumens. The trade off is it doesn't last as long. Image brightness is as much or more a factor of lens speed than lamp brightness. It your projector has, say, an f 1.8 lens, you'd get a significantly brighter picture if you could find an f 1.2 lens that fits it. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for films about the radio and on air diffusion
Not sure if this is within the bounds of what the original poster had in mind, but this discussion is making me think of the injection of live radio broadcasts into one section of Ken Jacobs' Blonde Cobra.

Re: [Frameworks] Looking for films about the radio and on air diffusion
The opening of Dziga Vertov’s Enthusiasm (Symphony of the Don Basin) used radio transmission in an interesting way. A parade with a band is shown and the sound is present, in synch. As I remember to make the shot, done earlier than when portable sound recording technology was available, the sound person carried a cabled mike along side the marching musicians. The cable ran back to the street-side radio station, which live broadcasted back to Moscow (from Kiev, I believe) where the signal was recorded on studio equipment. Vertov often used the image of public address technology (speakers in the street, etc.) and technologically mediated public performance of music, etc. even in his silent era films. His sound film, Three Songs of Lenin, includes images and sounds of one or more young women listening to the radio, showing their connection to the entire nation, and Modernity provided by the state (earlier they were shown casting off Muslim veils). Of course famous radio broadcasts are often used as historical marker clips in documentaries (e.g. FDR to Congress—and the nation by radio—about Pearl Harbor) and in experimental work such as Bruce Connor’s Report with radio audio of the JFK assassination.
