Anyone know what this is? Sony HDIH-1200
I've never heard of one.

It has been mentioned in this forum (or the other one) a few times.. IIRC, it's basically a 1271 with special Nikon-made motorized lenses? The lenses seemed pretty neat, but the projector itself isn't anything special these days.

It was made for use with the Sony "HDVS" line of high-def equipment.

I did find out that it is only 300 lumens, 30mhz, pretty rare I guess. Made in the 80's?

Crazy Sony 12xx series machine, but with 9" LC motorized-focus Nikon lenses. Low light output and very low bandwidth. I think it was basically designed to work with the Sony "Hi-Vision" system - which, was essentially 1080i. Pretty hot stuff for it's day, but nothing to get excited about these days.

I'd guess right around 1990.

Yeah, that was a really impressive machine. Late 80's and capable of 1080i. I think it was actually an EM focused machine. Spatztech sold one with a modification to do 1080p altough I've never seen any proof of that.

I think it will accept component also!

Just imagine you had an 1080i capable muse system in the basement!

I think it is 1987 vintage with 9" ES CRTs. If I had to guess it would be a tube like the SD-146a but i have no proof of that. A guy just got one on the CRT home theater facebook group so maybe we can ask him.

In this thread it says EMF.

The Nikon lens set would be interesting….

…. Tubes (Sony 09MH)/lenses (Nikkon): Are insane sharp, I have problems getting my Ultra with a PT22-19 hirez there! But but but but: The bandwidth is far too low.

So if the tubes were 09MH where those used in any other projector? I do not think I have heard of that sony model tube before.

How about putting it all into a 1272, it has the bw to do 1080p

Or maybe a board change?
