Digitarium Gamma Fixed Digital Planetarium System

Product Overview

The Digitarium Gamma Fixed model is a digital planetarium system designed for use in permanent domes. It is very similar to the Digitarium Alpha 2+ Fixed model, but offers higher resolution (about 87% more pixels) and a slightly brighter projector. It has the same unmatched usability of other Digitarium systems with our exclusive backlit, handheld remote control.

This model is designed for those who want the highest resolution and the best projection quality in a fixed Digitarium system. If you intend to show a lot of fulldome video shows, immersive environments, or scientific visualizations, the higher resolution will be invaluable. Starfields will also look better, especially with the enhanced contrast and our high quality proprietary lens.

Despite all these features, the price is a fraction of other high quality fisheye planetarium systems of similar resolutions!

Specifications

Pixels per degree of sky	5.8 average
Base Projector Brightness	6500 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.)
