In spite of the many presentation possibilities of the modern planetarium, the stars are still the most important application, the decisive reason for visitors to come to the planetarium. Dull stars disappoint visitors. With the world's highest contrast and absolute black, projectors of the ZEISS VELVET series are predestined for the combination with a star projector. Despite digitally superimposed objects, the radiance of the artificial stars is not affected..

DLP technology provides stability and ensures consistent colors and brightness for many years. Even after many thousands of hours of operation, ZEISS VELVET projectors deliver excellent picture quality. The high contrast of the projector results in high color saturation. The eye perceives the high-contrast and color-intensive projection as particularly brilliant and pleasant.

ZEISS ensures that all digital displays automatically match the optical starry sky – both during the playback of a programmed show and during live presentations. The True-Hybrid control system allows the user maximum operating freedom: a common control interface provides all important functions with the simplest possible handling. In the same way, digital functions can be controlled from the optical-mechanical projector and commands can be sent from the digital system to the star projector.
