Abstract: Systems methods and apparatus for projection system including a control/illumination module and a separate projector head are disclosed. The control/illumination module can be disposed in the location separate from location in which the projector head is disposed and/or used. The projector head can be coupled to the control/illumination module via a control signal connection, and illumination transmission connection and an optional coolant connection. By separating the control/illumination module from the projector head module, many, if not all, noise and heat producing elements can be implemented in the control/illumination module, thus providing a smaller sized, quieter, efficient and lower maintenance projector head that can be installed in implementations in which extraneous noise, heat, and leaked light can be detrimental to the viewing experience.
