Headlining at this year's show is the introduction of the FLM HD20 (1,980 x 1,080 resolution, 20,000 centre lumens) and FLM R22+ (1,400 x 1,050 resolution, 22,000 centre lumens), two new high brightness additions to the FLM projector family. Together with the existing features of the FLM series, these additions incorporate new technology which ensures minimal maintenance costs, increased light efficiency and reduction of overall power consumption, says the company.
During development of the new projectors, Barco also designed a new universal lamp housing for the whole family of FLM projectors. This new lamp housing offers advantages over the previous housings such as increased brightness with less power consumption, enhanced image quality and reduction of the overall maintenance and logistics costs. In addition, a new internal warping card is being introduced enabling images to be projected onto curved surfaces.
To accompany the new FLM projectors, Barco introduces a new TLD+ High Definition lens, a high brightness range of lenses that will enhance the image quality even more. The new lenses are fully compatible with the existing RLM, SLM and FLM products.
Barco is also unveiling VPx and the DCS-200 at this year's show. VPx is billed as a cost effective Video Processor (VP) solution for widescreen Encore destinations. It operates just like a standard VP, providing the same layering capabilities, effects and output connectivity. The DCS-200 is a seamless switcher that expands the capabilities of Barco's DCS-100 by adding an independent preview output.
The recently launched DML-1200 and the NX-6 will also be on show. The DML-1200 is a true digital moving luminaire, designed for the rental and staging market that can be used as both a super bright moving light source and a high quality video projector.
