USA - The growing number of users of digital projectors in entertainment and events share a common problem: When the projector is projecting black, it is actually a dark grey that is quite obvious and distracting on a dark stage. The Projector Dowser from City Theatrical is an electromechanical device that sits next to or on top of a digital projector and swings a flag in front of the beam to change video black to a real blackout.

The Projector Dowser utilises a stepper motor controlled by one channel of DMX to swing a flag through an arc of up to 90 degrees. The flag is adjustable on a rotating shaft to allow users to position the flag and the control box in a convenient location. The included mounting kit features a flat base with screw holes, rubber feet, Velcro, and an Allen key for mounting the flag and hub to the Dowser's shaft.

The Projector Dowser also features dry closure contacts to allow users to operate without DMX, either by toggle or momentary switch during a show, or while setting up before DMX is available at the projector.

Potential users of the Projector Dowser include events, theatrical shows, churches, and any other installations that need real projector blackouts.

The Projector Dowser is available through City Theatrical dealers worldwide. A list of dealers is available on the City Theatrical website, along with complete product information.
