How To Get a Video Display Rate of at Least 3000Hz

I am currently working on an interesting project which requires a very high video display rate. I am wondering if any of the DLP systems are capable of shooting at least 3000Hz?

If not, the other possibility would be to use multiple beamers, which means I can divide the video display rate by the amount of beamers used. Hence, Are there any options to still reach a refresh rate of at least 300hz?

I researched a bit on Altera FPGA's - would these devices help with increasing the video display rate?

Thanks!

  • Hi Ivan,

    The two DLP product lines which would interest you are Video and Data Display (also known as Pico) and Advanced Light Control. DLP Pico products are optimized for display applications and Advanced Light Control products are optimized for non-display, industrial applications. So, Pico parts use dithering and other algorithms to make great displays for the human eye and ALC parts have high speed, triggering capability, and absolute pixel accuracy for industrial applications like 3D printing, 3D scanning, spectroscopy, and lithography.

    As it sounds like you want a solution which is both used for display and is capable of high speeds, you can assess parts and evaluation modules from both product lines and see what works for your application. I would recommend checking out the pages below and reading through the specs (speed, max pattern rate, etc.) in the User's Guide for the following EVMs:

    Pico:

    LightCrafter 2010

    LightCrafter 3010

    LightCrafter 4710

    ALC:

    LightCrafter

    LightCrafter 4500

    Best regards,
