The new CLM Lease Offering, backed by IBM Global Financing, gives companies the opportunity to access Barco's CLM line of projectors, designed and built specifically for the demanding rental and staging market.
"For years, large concert promoters and event planners have relied on the Barco name to bring high-tech visualization and lighting technology to the stage," said Paul Foulkes, vice-president, vendor financing, IGF. "Thanks to the CLM leasing programme, smaller rental partners will also get the chance to acquire Barco's state-of-the-art CLM projection technology. We are delighted to incorporate a financing programme with Barco to support those companies grow their business."
The offering provides a monthly payments structure for the state of the art projector line, including the CLM HD8, a compact 8,500 lumen Digital Light Processing (DLP) projector with full high definition (1,920 x 1,080) resolution and the CLM R10+, a 10,000 lumen DLP projector that delivers a brilliant, sharp and consistent image.
"Barco has specifically designed this programme with IBM Global Financing to get sophisticated DLP and high definition projector technology into the hands of rental and staging companies in the small to mid-market arena," said Stephan Paridaen, president of Barco's Media & Entertainment division. "While we are proud to see our brand featured at many of the larger headliner concerts around the world, there is a lot of demand too for our technology at smaller corporate events and conferences."
The Barco-IBM Global Financing programme will be rolled out, for credit qualified customers initially, in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, Canada and the United States.
