SUPERNOVA 10K
After two years of research and development VICOM is proud to present the new SUPERNOVA 10K. This is a standard-slide high-performance projector with great features. It was our goal to develop a device that enables you as user to present your slides in a standard not reached by any other projector yet. Highest light output flexible control possibilities and complete processor control. To express it with other words:
The ultimate high-performance projector
Do know the problem? Your
slides do not have any brilliance when projected on a screen. They are not bright
enough and do not show any contrast, they seem to be weak and dull - with the
result that the viewers get bored and tired. Obviously your projector does not have a high enough light output to meet today's
problems. Which are: · The dimensions of the screen are too large · There is too much outside light · The screen has a bad reflection · The distance from the projector to the wall is too far The new SUPERNOVA 10K has an up to 10 times higher light output than any comparable
halogen projector. Due to its metal halide lamp and the new condenser system
which is new for projectors this projector reaches a so far unknown brilliance.
High power projector
Conventional halogen projector

The new SUPERNOVA 10K features a brand-new optical system for projectors. Due to this new optical system there is a perfect dispersion of the light, no Hot Spot in the centre or less light in the corners of the screen. With its 10,000 lumen output the SUPERNOVA reaches limits never achieved. This is based on the great performance of the HTI-metal halide lamp. Now slides can be displayed with a light output that meet the necessities of today that can be used at conferences or in parallel projections with other high-performance projectors. |
 |
With 10000 lumens light output SUPERNOVA achieves new horizons in the field of high power projection. Base for this billant light is the highly efficient HTI metal halide lamp. SUPERNOVA 10K is equipped with a long-life lamp. This lamp is very reasonable in price has a life-duration of 700 hours and features with its 5,000 lumen daylight-like spectrum. The exchange of the lamp is rather simple. |
 |
For the first time in the sector of high-performance projectors a processor controlled concept has been realised. All functions are controlled by a small built in processor. This means less mechanical functions, higher accuracy and reliability, new features and less maintenance service needed. |
Due to the processor control the SUPERNOVA 10K features a lot of new characteristics. To name just a few:
3 built in timers; one for the total running time of the projector, one for the running time of the lamp and the third one can be used for the current renting period.
All running times are also documented with the number of ignitions of the lamp.
Error analysing is supported by the display.
Temperatures in the room, inside the projector and inside the power suply are displayed.
The timer can be adjusted in minutes and seconds. This and many more features are available.
The three Versions of the SUPERNOVA 10K
SUPERNOVA 10K Standard - is a projector for single projections i. e. there is the strong light output mentioned-above, each slide can be addressed separately (random access) however fading is not possible.
SUPERNOVA 10K Digital is like the above-mentioned Standard edition however it has an additional shutter device (dowser) with various control possibilities.
SUPERNOVA 10K DMX - is generally the same as the above mentioned Digital edition but contains also an interface to access DMX-512 data signal
 |
· Remote control - for cable or infra-red (Standard or Digital version) · RS 232 - computer control (Standard or Digital version) · P-bus - data access for fading (Digital version) · DMX-512 - data input for light Lichtstellanlagen · Analogue 12-pole connection- for control devices by Dataton, AVL, Arion, Baessgen, Stumpfl, Electrosonic etc. ( Digital version) |

To keep your projector up to the latest standards you can obtain the latest software from the VICOM-homepage and transfer it to your projector. |
Advantages, Advantages, Advantages ....
Compare the new SUPERNOVA 10K to the predecessor SUPERNOVA 5000
SUPERNOVA Standard
Your advantage:
Light output
The light output was raised to 10,000 lumen(so far 5,000 lumen).
Your advantage:
Light uniformity
10K features a very even light dispersion across the entire
projection. The evenness from the centre to the margin is 85 %. No Hot Spot
to be seen.
Your advantage:
Design
The projector is made of one single casting i. e. the casing
has no disturbing corners and angles.
Your advantage:
Noise
10K is less noisy. It was obtained by using less ventilators
and the ventilators used are built into the casing with a more effective
sound insulation.
Your advantage:
Lamp costs
Due to a new optical concept we were able to use a more efficient
lamp at a very competitive price.
Your advantage:
Long-life lamp
Long-life lamps with a life-duration of 750 hours are available.
Your advantage:
Colour temperature
Due to the high quality of the lamp the colour temperature
is evenly at 5,000K. Differences like we have known them before do not exist
any more.
Your advantage:
Processor control
The whole system is processor controlled this means less features
are mechanical therefore less defects.
Your advantage:
Mountings
In front of the lens you find threads so that lens supports,
a surface mirror, and other devices for effects can be mounted.
SUPERNOVA Digital
Your advantage:
Fading mechanism
The functioning principles for the fading device were completely
revised. Now it is a lot simpler to use.
Your advantage:
P-bus protocol
The P-bus protocol launched by Kodak is common standard in
the 10K Digital series.
Your advantage:
Extra slot
In order to connect analogue control devices (12-pole socket)
you can connect the suitable interface card. These are available for AVL,
Stumpfl, Baessgen, and Arion
Your advantage:
DMX 512
An additional card for the above-mentioned insert is available
for DMX 512.
