Realizing the variety of applications for widescreen HD projection, Barco had added two new members to its FLM family of compact, 3-chip DLP projectors, the FLM HD18 and FLM HD14. The FLM HD18 delivers native HD (1920 x 1080) at 18,000 centre lumens brightness output in a compact and lightweight chassis. The FLM HD18 boosts fully sealed optics and impressive lamp maintenance ensuring an overall lower cost of ownership, say the company.
The FLM HD14 with its 14,000 centre lumens brightness output, is optimized for wide screen applications which demand - not only high brightness - but also extremely low noise and an ultra long lamp lifetime.
The lens range (TLD HB), of the Barco RLM and SLM projector series, can be re-used on the FLM series, which means investment in new lenses is not necessarily compulsory. Furthermore, Barco say that both the FLM HD18 and FLM HD14 have exceptional video performance thanks to advanced 10 bit processing. Their brightness, compactness and near silent operation make them suitable for a wide variety of applications, say Barco.
The third HD projector to be added is Barco's XLM HD30 which is ideally suited to ultra wide-screen and HD projections. Boasting a light output of 30,000 centre lumens, the XLM HD30 is the new standard for high brightness projection on the market today, say Barco. Delivering native 2048 x 1080 resolution (DC2K) and featuring a fully sealed DMD engine, the XLM HD30 is designed for use in the demanding rental and staging and large events markets. The XLM HD30 supersedes the HD25 version.
