Wintech’s Production Ready Optical Engine (PRO4500) is a high brightness modular DLP®-based projector designed
for industrial applications. The PRO4500 is based on Texas Instrument’s DLP® LightCrafter 4500 that utilizes the 0.45”
WXGA DMD and is compatible with both the s241 (150 lumens) and s310 (500 lumens) DMDs. With a form factor of
only 210x84x54mm, the PRO4500 is ideal for confined spaces that are typically required for 3D Measurement, 3D
Printing and certain display applications.
The PRO4500’s modular architecture allows for
quick, low cost modifications to the base PRO4500
Engine that minimize both expense and time to get
to series production. The PRO4500 will accept
various Luminus Devices LEDs including the CBT-39,
PT-39, PT-40, and also Osram RGB LEDs. An all glass
optical architecture was chosen and optical coatings
are optimized for 381-650nm. Optics are 0% offset.
Wintech extended the length of the projection lens
barrel for easy field swapping of numerous lenses
that are available or that can be custom designed.
Thermal management is provided by heat sinking
and a fan, however liquid cooling adaptations are
available.
The PRO4500 multi-PCB stack was also designed with modularity as the top priority and is functionally equivalent to
the LightCrafter 4500 control electronics. All system critical components are located on the DMD driver PCB, allowing
for low cost electronics modifications to the LED driver PCB. The multi-PCB stack provides a mini-HDMI connection
for data transfer, a USB connection for system control, and an I2C interface for LED control. Compatibility with the
PandaBoard ES platform, through the Wintech NSP4500, is also provided with the PRO4500. Two camera input and
two camera output triggers are included in the multi-PCB stack.
Since the PRO4500 is based on the LightCrafter 4500’s DLPC350 chipset, performance and control are identical. The
PRO4500 utilizes the DLP® LightCrafter 4500 firmware and software. The PRO4500 will allow for 2,880Hz binary
streaming frames per second and 120Hz 8-bit grayscale streaming frames per second over mini-HDMI.
Predetermined patterns stored in the 32MB onboard memory provide up to 4,255Hz binary and 120Hz 8-bit grayscale
frames per second.
