The HDX-W14 comes with a 14,000 lumens light output, a WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution and active 3D capabilities. It features controls through a user-friendly, built-in LCD screen with a preview mode, and control options through wired and wireless IP. Furthermore, users can control the projector through new technologies such as tablet PCs and smart phones.
"The development of the HDX was heavily influenced by three key areas where Barco has gained considerable expertise," says Chris Colpaert, strategic marketing director of Barco's pro AV business, "We carried over our experience in 3D from our digital cinema portfolio and fused it with our intimate knowledge of what the events industry will expect from projectors now and in the coming years. For example, the HDX is compatible with the 3G protocol, gearing it up for lightning-fast, future video transmission.
"The HDX also makes use of Barco's advanced image processing capabilities found in our benchmark ImagePRO. This boosts creativity and decreases the time it takes to get sources on screen the way users want. In addition, the HDX is equipped with native blending and geometry correction for unusual screen shapes and sizes."
