The Digitarium Elevator Mount is a simple add on option in a fixed dome that allows a Digitarium Gamma or Epsilon digital planetarium system to raise and lower at the touch of a button.
The main reasons to use an elevator mount:
* If you want to keep an existing starball in the center of your dome, you can place the elevator next to that system. Raise the Digitarium system up when desired, and lower to use your starball without any blockages. The off center distortion correction features in our Digitarium systems will adjust starfields and media for an offset of up to approximately 30% of the dome radius.
* If you want to easily switch between full dome and truncated projection with our Digitarium Epsilon model, this allows you to quickly change between the two modes. This works best in domes under approximately 20 feet/6m in diameter.
Features:
* Easy up and down operation with a handheld remote control
* Almost silent operation
* Smooth start and stop motion
* Can memorize upper travel limit for perfect placement each time
* Easy locked door access to components inside the base (such as the planetarium control computer)
* Does not prevent normal Digitarium system remote control use
* Designed to mount to a floor or platform
