UNIVERSARIUM Models IX and IX TD
Controls and Operation
Controls and Operation
Needless to say, the UNIVERSARIUM is
computer-controlled. However, although a highly complex instrument, the
UNIVERSARIUM can also be manually controlled without any restriction – like all
Zeiss planetarium projectors! This means real-time operation and interactive
control as already available before the invention of the computer. Automatic
reproduction, real-time programming (teach-in), operation in the override mode -
it all goes without saying. The same applies to synchronization using all common
time code formats right up to communication with other computers in the
planetarium.
UNIVERSARIUM permits not only the geocentric mode, but also other observation
stations elsewhere in the solar system including spaceflight perspectives.
Another new feature is the possibility of leaping 10,000 years forward or
backward in time with absolute astronomical correctness.
