    Available Models Navitar SUPERNOVA 10K Available Models In order to meet all requirements of the professional market, the SUPERNOVA 10K is available in two different versions. SUPERNOVA 10K Digital This projector can be used for single projections or faded projections. When using a fading-control-unit the SUPERNOVA 10K automatically recognizes the type of control-unit used and the fading results are optimized electronically.
  • Page 7: Operation

    ATTENTION: The 10K uses a metal halide lamp requiring a minimum burning time of at least 5 minutes. If you do not observe the minimum burning time the life-duration of the lamp will be considerably shortened. A general advice is to ignite the lamp only when necessary to guarantee a long life-duration for your lamp.
