Using the projector with a cinema lamphouse?
I don't know if you could use a halogen
or even an ORC xenon lamp of 1000 watts or
less. If you can, mate it to a digital and/or
analogue basement sound head. Maybe you
could make a mount for an SDDS or DTS reader
to place the projector under. You would need
some suitable type of motor drive for it,
and build a pair of guidance arms for use
with a platter. A double lens turret would
be mounted in front of the projector,and
you would need mask off part of the port
glass so the sound track would not be seen.
