Product information LEICA PRADOVIT PC
The traditional advantages of a Leica product all apply to the new LEICA PRADOVIT PC: Outstanding, high performance optics, precise mechanics and modern electronics, designed from a user-specific perspective. The new PRADOVIT PC extends the PRADOVIT P600 and P600 IR range of powerful slide projectors with a premium model with interesting, practical equipment: The integrated serial interface allows direct control of the projector from a PC via its RS 232 interface. If a modern dissolve control unit is being used, its advantages can be utilised to the full. The P-COM protocol familiar from LEICA PRADOVIT RT projectors is also used in a reduced form in the new PRADOVIT PC. The serial interface consists of a socket for the signal input (P-BUS IN) and another for the signal output
(P-BUS OUT). Both sockets are clearly marked and easily accessible on the rear of the projector. The P-BUS interfaces can be used to link and control up to 16 projectors. A control light (LED) indicates the presence of a P-COM signal. The standard 14pin DIN socket is also available for conventional control of the new PRADOVIT PC. The PRADOVIT PC also benefits from Leicas know how in coating optical glass: 20 % more light output is a result of the new, multi-layer coated condenser system. The coating significantly increases the brightness to >1100 lm (lumen) and at the same time effectively prevents undesirable increases in the slide window temperature. In conjunction with the 24V/250W halogen lamp and the superb Leica projection lenses, this means that your slides are reproduced brightly and clearly just as you captured them when
taking the photographs even with a long projection distance. The torsion-free die cast aluminium chassis gives the PRADOVIT PC optimum stability and extremely low vibrations, forming a solid base for all components. The upper section, made of shock- and scratch-resistant plastic, has a captivating new anthracite color, which gives the PRADOVIT PC an external appearance to match its high-quality features. The projectors height is adjusted using the two locking knurled screws on the front, retaining the units alignment. The practical features provide everything you could need: There is a slide preview panel on the top of the projector for viewing, selecting and sorting your slides. The integrated, fold out slide claw allows projection without the use of a tray or resorting incorrectly positioned pictures without

moving the tray. The cord-connected remote control with integrated light pointer can be stowed in the side panel to save space. Also in a handy position on the side panel is the built-in timer for automatic projection with continuously adjustable slide display intervals of between 3 and 40 seconds. Ten high performance Leica projection lenses from 60 to 250mm, first and foremost the unsurpassed LEICA SUPER-COLORPLAN P2 90mm f/2.5, are available for the PRADOVIT PC. This opens up a wide range of possible applications, from home projection in small rooms to projection over large distances for a slide presentation in a large hall. The automatic bulb changer on the PRADOVIT PC brings a reserve bulb into position if the main

24V/250W bulb should blow. This process takes place so quickly that it will only seem like the blink of an eye to spectators. To ensure that the faulty halogen bulb is replaced at the earliest opportunity, an LED on the rear of the unit serves as a reminder that the projector is currently using the reserve bulb. The precise autofocus feature on the PRADOVIT PC can distinguish between slides with and without glass and sets the focus automatically for mixed projection, quickly and accurately. In addition, you can make manual adjustments at any time (override feature), with automatic focusing being reactivated for the next slide. As the image size on the screen changes slightly when focusing, the autofocus feature can also be turned off com-
pletely for certain situations (e.g. panorama projection). Effective direct slide cooling, in conjunction with the heat filter, guarantees that the slides are not damaged, even with long display times. Additional protection is provided by a thermo safety switch, which interrupts the bulbs power supply in case of overheating, protecting the projector and slides from damage. Four different slide tray systems can be used with the PRADOVIT PC: a DIN 108 standard tray, a spill protected and space saving LKM tray, a CS tray and a circular tray for 120 slides, which allows continuous projection using the built in timer with no problems.

Professional slide presentations with PRADOVIT RT projectors
The highest technical standard for sophisticated projection with round slide trays is offered by LEICA PRADOVIT RT-m and RT-s projectors. With the newly computed lenses of the PRO series. These projectors have all the prerequisites for the use of the very latest control systems for audio-visual slide shows and multi-media shows.

Precision, convenience, dependability and the highest light output were our guidelines in creating the PRADOVIT RT projectors. That was the reason, for instance, why all components that affect the optical axis are made of stable zinc die castings. That ensures a durable and accurate optical alignment. At the same time, we also sought to keep the weight of the projector down to a portable level: the warp-free housing is therefore made of the sturdy, glass-fiber-reinforced molded material Lexan. And to further increase the longevity of the projector, the number of moving parts was kept to a necessary minimum. After all, your enjoyment of the superior performance of the PRADOVIT RT projector should last for many years! The spill-proof circular tray accepts slides that are up to 3.2 mm thick and it protects them with its transparent cover. The slide is lowered from the tray and positioned in the projection gate with the unequalled accuracy of one fiftieth of a millimeter. On a 3.5 m or 11 1/2 feet wide projected image that means a shift of, at the most, only 2 millimeters (less than 3/32 of an inch)! An impressive example of Leica precision. The PRADOVIT RT executes whisperquiet slide changes that are extremely 0.88 seconds. And if you decide to depart from the existing sequence of slides during the presentation no problem. Because of separate controls for tray advance and slide changes, you can call up any position on the slide tray in a maximum of 3.5 seconds. Both the PRADOVIT RT-m as well as the RT-s can be used for single projection. Compared to the RT-s, the RT-m model offers certain additional features that integrate it perfectly into the world of multimedia, leaving nothing to be desired. PROJECTORS precise and super-fast: it takes only
The superior technology of PRADOVIT RT projectors
All the functions of LEICA PRADOVIT RT projectors were thoughtfully designed for professional applications. Light output and heat dissipation were optimized systematically. Their operating convenience and their universal application possibilities leave nothing to be desired, even with the highest demands.

Michael Martin

Projection brought to light For years I have treasured the outstanding optics and the refined design of Leica lenses in conjunction with my photographic work in Africa. Now I am happy because I am able to use the new PRADOVIT RT projector to project my slides with equally fine optics, bright and sharp, on a 7.50 x 5 m (approximately 25 x 16 1/2 feet) screen. Michael Martin, Germany A sophisticated illumination system with two pre-adjusted 300-Watt cold light reflector bulbs ensures the best possible light output in PRADOVIT RT-m and RT-s projectors. The light output is 25 to 30% higher than in comparable 250-Watt projectors. And with the PRADOVIT RT-m you even have an additional light boost in reserve: In halls where you have to project across large distances, the light output can be increased even further, by approximately 20%, by means of a High light switch.

The bulb technology of PRADOVIT RT projectors is the most refined in every respect. It includes a bulb that is accurately adjusted in relation to a parabolic mirror as well as a reserve bulb that is ready to be activated at any time. Should the main bulb fail, your slide presentation is not interrupted because power will automatically be fed to the reserve bulb and in a fraction of a second, a movable mirror swings into position to accurately direct the light from the reserve bulb into the main light path. The position of the reserve bulb remains unchanged.
Safe and convenient handling also applies to bulb changes: when you wish to replace the burned-out bulb after the presentation, you simply remove the entire bulb module from the projector with a single hand motion. The bulbs are then easily accessible and the new ones do not have to be adjusted after being inserted. Cool and calculating Always remain nice and cool is a slogan of the PRADOVIT RT projector. And a whole bundle of technical refinements brings about the highest degree of heat dissipation. That means that your slides, the bulb and the projector itself, are carefully conserved. A portion of the infrared heat radiation is immediately dissipated by the bulb itself through its own reflector. In addition, an infrared-absorbing coating on the mirror and the specially designed coating of the heat-protection filter and of the condenser lens, continually ensure that less heat is created in the projector to begin with. Beyond that, the axial fan blows plenty of outside air directly across the slide and cools the slide chute and the bulb module very effectively, even during hard, prolonged use. Perfect details The two PRADOVIT RT-m and RT-s projectors feature all-round good handling. As single projectors or in groups, they open a wealth of application possibilities with practical extras for professional slide presentations. Here are some examples:
The P bus interface permits problemfree connection with digital control systems for audiovisual and multimedia presentations. The PRADOVITRT-m features an additional AV slot which can be used to integrate individual control technique instructions directly into the projector. The automatic dark shutter that is in place when there is no slide in the gate, can be opened and closed manually when necessary. Useful, for instance, in lap-dissolve shows or for hard-cut effects. Even when the room is in total darkness, you have confident control of your PRADOVIT RT projector. The function symbols next to the illuminated to provide you with a good overview. The remote control connector socket accepts the infrared sensor as well as the remote control cable. The PRADOVIT RT can be switched to the stand-by mode with any of the remote controls. This is especially practical when you dont need the projector during certain parts of your lecture or presentation. The built-in timer can be set for projection times ranging from 1 to 60 seconds. And the reset function enables the PRADOVIT RT projector to be used for continuous projection without any additional control devices, even when the slide tray is only partly filled: after the last slide, the tray is automatically returned to the zero position, and projection starts again from the beginning. command keys are discreetly

Ingenious technology and versatile control possibilities make PRADOVIT RT projectors equally convenient and versatile. They can be integrated into virtually any system.
Even in total darkness, you have the controls in view at all times: the function symbols next to the control buttons are discreetly illuminated.
The interchangeable bulb module with its hinged mirror ensures uninterrupted operation if the main projection bulb should fail it activates the reserve bulb in fractions of a second.
The round slide tray and the reset function make unattended continuous operation possible. Even when the slide tray on the PRADOVIT RT is not completely filled, it will automatically return to the zero position after the last slide and start projecting again from the beginning.
Projection in a new light: LEICA PRO lenses
Ten new high-performance lenses, with focal lengths ranging from 35 to 300 mm, were designed especially for the PRADOVIT RT-m and PRADOVIT RT-s round slide tray projectors. These lenses have the standard diameter of 52.5 mm and a grooved tube that fit all current projectors for round slide trays. All the nuances that you captured in your photographs will be cast on the projection screen with breathtaking brilliance.
90 mm f/2.5 COLORPLAN-PRO
The classic lens among Leica projection lenses virtually synonymous with superb optical performance. Now also in a version for PRADOVIT RT projectors. With its very versatile focal length, the COLORPLAN-PRO is useful for a wide range of applications, from home projection all the way to multivision shows.
90 mm f/2.5 SUPER-COLORPLAN-PRO
With an imaging performance even greater than that of the COLORPLANPRO, this projection lens becomes the top-of-the-line product that meets the very highest demands. Its highly corrected optical system, with five multi-coated lens elements, produces excellent resolving power as well as uniformly high contrast and crisp sharpness across the entire image area.

35 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-PRO

With its very short focal length, the 35 mm ELMARIT-PRO was designed for short projection distances. It is also extremely well suited for rear projection.

200 mm f/3.4 ELMARON-PRO

A sophisticated Leica design with five multi-coated lens elements. Because of its long focal length, it is well suited for medium to large projection halls.

60 mm f/2.8 PC-ELMARIT-PRO 90 mm f/2.8 PC-ELMARIT-PRO
With the PC-ELMARIT-PRO lenses (PC = Perspective Correction), lapdissolve shows and effect masks can be projected perfectly, even with short screen distances. Without PC shift lenses, lap-dissolve shows with short projection distances would require both projectors to be tilted, but even so, it would not be possible to achieve accurately super-imposed images. With PC shift projection lenses, however, the projectors can be aligned horizontally, they do not have to be tilted, and the two projected images can be superimposed precisely.

45 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-PRO

A projection lens with a short focal length that is eminently suitable for rear projection and also for front projection in smaller rooms. It stands out for its freedom from distortion and for its uniformly high imaging performance that extends all the way into the corners of the picture.
70120 mm f/2.8 VARIO-ELMARIT-PRO
Its range of focal lengths makes the VARIO-ELMARIT-PRO a very practical choice for diverse lecturing situations. At 70 mm for smaller rooms but with a mere twist of the hand, this lens can instantly be adapted to medium large presentation rooms.

120 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-PRO

An entirely new projection lens computation from Leica that sets new standards for this focal length. Our lens designers achieved the magnificent imaging performance of the 120 mm ELMARIT-PRO by means of sophisticated optical computations and with the use of special optical glasses, combined with very new fabrication technologies. For slide presentations in somewhat larger halls, the 120 mm f/2.8 ELMARITPRO is the projection lens of choice by the most demanding of lecturers.
100300 mm f/3.5 VARIO-ELMARON-PRO
With its extra-broad range of focal lengths, this lens is particularly adaptable to a large variety of projection hall and the projector image is precisely adjusted to the size and distance of the projection screen. Outstanding imaging qualities at all focal length settings. facilities. A short turn of the zoom ring

150 mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-PRO

Like the 120 mm ELMARIT-PRO, this is also a completely new optical computation. The very same optical glasses with anomalous partial dispersion that were used, for instance, in the highly praised 180 mm f/2 LEICA APO-SUMMICRON-R lens, also give this lens its exceptional imaging performance.

From the lap-dissolve show to multivision
Lap-dissolves, picture and sound synchronization, hard or soft edge masks, panorama projection and other effects can turn your slide presentation into a memorable experience that no other medium can match. Technological precision makes that experience possible.
Everything is ready for the exciting show: Reiner Harscher making final preparations for his multivision show. Ten Leica projectors provide perfect, highly professional dissolve technology.
Who wouldnt be impressed by the smooth interplay of narration, music, sound effects and beautiful, large projected images? No TV production, no video clip can produce such magnificent images, such fascination! Whether you are creating a travel essay about distant lands, a captivating trade show audiovisual promotion or an impressive company presentation, with Leica technology, combined with your dramaturgical capabilities, you can capture the attention of viewers everywhere. Leica Camera AG in close cooperation with the leading specialty
manufacturer Stumpfl, can supply all the technical prerequisites for professional dissolve techniques and multivision shows. Particularly the PRADOVIT RT projectors with their highly effective accessories offer the professional the necessary creative freedom to utilize all the technical effects to realize his own concepts. But if you are initially looking for a cost-effective solution, Leica projectors are already suitable for dissolve presentations and multivision shows, starting with the PRADOVIT P 300 projector.
Control units for lap-dissolve technology For an uncomplicated entry into lapdissolve projection, the best solution consists of two Leica projectors combined with the manual dissolve control unit LEICA DU-24 M2. The dissolve rate is controlled by the speed with which you move the slider up or down. Therefore the dissolve rate can be varied from picture to picture. You can, for instance, without synchronizing pictures and sound, intuitively tailor the speed of the dissolve to the pace of the music. Or would you like to relax in your comfortable chair while the dissolve
show progresses? Thus preferring reliable automatic techniques? In that case you would select the LEICA DU-24 MT with its built-in timer as your control unit. Dissolve rates can be adjusted steplessly between 0 and 15 seconds, and projection times between 3 and 30 seconds. The control unit then runs the show automatically. When needed, a dissolve can also be effected manually. Mutual benefit: the close cooperation of the Leica Camera AG and Stumpfl GmbH organizations, in the field of audiovisual slide presentations and multivision shows, has been highly productive for many years, leading to outstanding results. At this point we would like to introduce you to three high-grade control units from Stumpfl GmbH, along with Wings control software, all of which are excellent for use with your LEICA PRADOVIT projectors. Entry model SD 102 The easy to operate SD 102 control unit for uncomplicated dissolve projection with two PRADOVIT projectors already features many clever effects. You control the varying projection time from picture to picture with the infrared remote control that is included with the unit, and you set the unchanging dissolve rate with the timer. The data can be recorded on a cassette or reel audio tape. With the SD 102 control unit, you have the choice of six fixed dissolve rates. Even so, you can still shorten or lengthen the dissolve time by using the time button, or you can flip back and forth between images. The result is a lively dissolve show with synchronized images and

sound, which you can also store, and then present as often as you wish. This one you can upgrade: SD 302 The SD 302 control unit opens the door to professional audio-visual presentations with two projectors: for live presentations, during which you can spontaneously effect the slide changes by means of an infrared remote control, or for programmed presentations, for which you have already programmed the complete sound and dissolve effects ahead of time. The SD 302 unit features a choice of nine dissolve rates, from a hard cut to 30 seconds. Plus numerous other functions, like Freeze for freezing the dissolve process, Pulse for pulsating effects, Preset for individual control of the projectors, or Reverse for reverse dissolves. In addition, the infrared remote control can be used for flip-flop effects and for manual focus correction. A large display serves as a clear control overview of all the functions. High-end class: SD 404 POWER MEMORY The programming power of this top-ofthe-line unit with digital input and output for CD and DAT provides virtually every possibility of modern multivision shows. That is why experienced professional presenters favor the SD 404 PM control unit with its modular upgrading capability for implementing their sophisticated ideas for audio-visual slide and multimedia shows to slick perfection. Thanks to its uncomplicated, menu-driven operation, you can comfortably surf through the world of innovative control
techniques. With the classic modes, such as infrared remote control, sliding manual control, real-time and computer programming, you have everything under confident control: up to four projectors, the course of the entire presentation, and all the visual and acoustic effects. Since it would be a shame to run such a sophisticated show just once, the SD 404 PM naturally has a provision for storing all the commands, in both analog and digital modes, or on MemoryCard. Enchanted software: Wings for Windows This world-renowned program controls slide audio-visual and digital sound work at the highest level of sophistication. Even beginners can quickly learn to operate it without any problems. With Wings for Windows you no longer have to numerically enter dissolve commands, the SD control units. You enter the commands into the computer by mouse click; the connected projectors follow your entries on the monitor, on which well-designed graphics give you an overview of all the programmed sequences. The clear timeline indication makes it possible to work precisely, even with complex light sequences.
