Checker

The HSG Labs Checker is a battery power handheld device that measures luminance readings for both 2D and 3D screens and is calibrated to be accurate even in the lower ranges used in 3D projection. The Checker also incorporates a audio sensor to provides dBC level and 10 band visual reference level for instant feedback on theatre quality. This low cost, pocket sized device is a necessary tool for all theaters.

Technical Specs

The HSG Labs 4A is a permanent integrated device for daily alignment operations of multiple projectors. The device can mounted to the back wall of auditoria or in the booth to ensure multiple projector images remain aligned and lenses in focus without the need for an engineer to visit. Standard features included are NOC integration and reporting alerts for remote connectivity and alignment failure notification.
