Kinoton fp E premier

[Ashok Kumar]

Friends, kinoton FP E premier series like FP E30 premier, FP E 38 was introduced in 2007 ?

The Premiere (and "Reference) was the last generation of the "E" series. The distinction was in the intermittent motor (and controller). The Premiere/Reference used an "FPS" series of controller and mating intermittent motor that was stronger/faster, which allowed for a significant light improvement (the shutters were also made with a larger opening percentage). They used a more massive power supply too with four large electrolytics instead of two, which the original "MDE" series used. The toroidal transformer is also significantly larger on the Premiere/Reference.

Thanks in premier series has an improved version of the intemitent motor used in FP EC2 version!? Also there was no maltase with Geneva principle!?

[Steve Guttag]

Correct. It is just a stepper motor.

[Ashok Kumar]

Thanks any chance of getting a premier series in working condition?

[Steve Guttag]

I'm sure there are some out there, somewhere. Note, the older MDE style are, normally, more reliable.

I know of a few E Premiere machines in private hands, but not many. The non-Premiere are more common, but it’s still a more unusual projector to see. I have an EC (non-Premiere) myself and love it.

Thanks, so the kinoton fp30 EC2 is a premier series or non premier ec?

To go into a little of this history and the timeline of Kinoton's "E" machines:

• In 1989 Kinoton released the EC (30 and 38), for studio use
• In 1997 after the success of the EC, Kinoton released the FP30 E and FP50E for standard cinemas
• In 1998 the E-S was released for high quality screening rooms
• In 1999 the EC II was released, which is a little bit more precise, and allows better control/adjustment
• In 2007 Kinoton released the last upgrades to the "E" machines, known as the "Reference" on the EC/E-S, and "Premiere" on the E. This is the best model of E drive ever available.

There is also the E-Q and the E-R, but I'm not sure when those were released. Anyone know?
