Usage, Building and Functional Principles
Navitar’s SUPERNOVA 10K is a very strong projector which can project 10 to 20
times more light than "regular" halogen projectors. In order to receive this high light
output the SUPERNOVA 10K uses a strong HTI-metal halide lamp with power
supply and suitable cooling for the slides. Do not look into the light while the
projector is in operation!

The SUPERNOVA 10K is durable and built under the latest technical findings to
insure high reliability of the projector.

When designing the SUPEROVA 10K a new integrated concept was used for the
first time in its class. The result was a professional designed casing made com-
pletely out of metal.

The SUPERNOVA 10K Digital and the SUPERNOVA 10K-DM also have mechani-
cal fading installations with built-in digital control-electronics. These devices for
fading are necessary because the HTI-metal halide lamp cannot be dimmed. Due
to the precise control, the fading can be performed so well that it is difficult to
detect any difference when compared to fading with dimmable lamps.
