The PLUTO-2 is equipped with a dual-core processor, on-chip memory and features an HDMI interface for addressing phase functions, a USB connection for advanced calibrations, and a trigger sync output for synchronising with external devices - such as colour-switchable lasers. The driver's faster addressing speed allows for a colour-field-sequential (CFS) mode at 180 Hz input frame rate with the matching new PLUTO-2 SLMs and, as a bonus, also offers a more stable phase response.

Gamma Scientific's latest SpectralLED® demo video now on YouTube

Gamma Scientific have uploaded a short video to YouTube that shows how the SpectralLED® renders colour in real time by using a side-by-side screenshot of its software and the results on a light booth set-up

The video shows how the SpectralLED® can sweep through wavelengths to simulate a scanning monochromator courtesy of 32 discrete LEDs to produce a subtle or bright output that can closely match virtually any illuminant source.

For more information about the SpectralLED® or other light sources from Gamma Scientific, please contact us.
