Digitarium Delta Portable Digital Planetarium System
The Digitarium Delta is an extremely affordable, high resolution digital planetarium system ideal
for portable or small fixed domes.
It projects a 1080 pixel diameter circle over a full dome with no blind spots or cutouts.
It is the culmination of years of development effort, with an innovative proprietary lens design.
The Digitarium Delta offers a compact size, quick set up, intuitive interface, high resolution, and wealth of features at a surprisingly affordable price. Digitalis also sells inflatable domes in several diameters for a complete portable solution.
The Digitarium Delta outperforms other low cost digital systems on the market, avoiding common drawbacks such as incomplete sky coverage, terrible focus, obvious distortions, difficult user interfaces,
easily damaged components, unreliable software and/or hardware, and poor support.
Although more expensive than most portable analog ("pin-hole") projectors, we believe the Digitarium Delta to be a huge value proposition: you receive the features of a modern digital planetarium at a fraction of the typical cost.
Think of the power of a computer versus a slide projector.
Affordable and flexible, the Digitarium Delta will revolutionize your astronomy teaching.

Maximum Dome Diameter
|
Approximately 23 feet/7 meters.
Brightness
is the main
issue, since the larger the dome,
the larger the surface area the light from the projector must cover.
|
Resolution
|
1080 pixels across a diameter
|
Field of view
|
180 degrees, full sky.
|
Pixels per degree of sky
|
6 average
|
Angle of Projection
|
~175 degrees
|
Base Projector Brightness
|
2000 Lumens with 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. Please see our other models if you need a brighter system.)
|
Contrast Ratio
|
2400:1 (Actual measured value with fisheye lens.)
|
Lamp life
|
Up to 3000 hours
|
Image Quality
|
Good, although focus is not as sharp as our Gamma and Epsilon models.
This is a tradeoff in the interest of an affordable system.
