Digitarium Alpha 2+ Portable Digital Planetarium System
Product Overview
The
Digitarium Alpha 2+ Portable model is a great option for portable venues
where either the higher brightness or better projection quality is desired. For portable
use we generally recommend the smaller, lighter weight, and less expensive
Digitarium Alpha 2 Portable model.
Maximum Dome Diameter
|
Approximately 56 feet/17 meters. Brightness
is the main
issue, since the larger the dome,
the larger the surface area the light from the projector must cover.
|
Resolution
|
768 pixels across a diameter
|
Pixels per degree of sky
|
4.3 average
|
Base Projector Brightness
|
6000 Lumens with both lamps and a non-fisheye lens (Provided for comparison purposes with other systems. Actual brightness with a fisheye lens is significantly less due to not projecting the whole video rectangle and differing lens properties.)
|
Contrast Ratio
|
Approximately 1200:1
|
Lamp life
|
3000 hours on low, 2000 hours on high
The projector has two lamps which can be used one at a time, or both together for the brightest projection.

Improved sharpness and less violet color separation than in the Digitarium Alpha 2.
