Barco, a global leader in digital cinema, is proud to present its 3D solutions to the big audience at this year’s Cinema Expo. Today, Barco’s entire digital cinema projector fleet is suited to show all of the latest 3D digital technologies.

Barco’s 3D solutions are compatible with all 3D technologies available in the market today. To further develop and improve 3D solutions for the future, Barco works closely together with: REAL-D, Dolby, MasterImage and ExpanD .

At Cinema Expo, Barco introduces an integrated solution based on Dolby’s spectral modulation of light. The DP1500 and DP2000 projectors can be provided with a factory-built-in Dolby 3D solution. Barco’s DP 2000 3D solution is an integrated solution, meaning that the filter controller - an external box in the standard Dolby solution – is no longer required. With a 96mm wheel for DP1500 and DP2000 and a 125mm wheel for DP3000, the digital cinema projectors offer sublime 3D reproduction on screen. The single projector set-up can play all movies using the Dolby technology and can handle screens up to approximately 12m.

In Amsterdam, Barco also presents a Barco Dual 3D solution, based on the polarization of light. The Barco Dual 3D solution can be used for screens up to 20m and consists of a flexible, easy and simple stacking solution and frame for the DP family.

“Our Barco Dual 3D solution is the easiest and cheapest stacking solution in the industry.”, says Raf Rentmeesters, Barco’s Global Product Manager for Digital Cinema. “Two other main advantages is that our stacking solution can be moved around in the theater in a flexible way, and that to this solution there are no license fees attached; the customer has a one-off low payment.”

Wim Buyens, Vice President Digital Cinema of Barco’s Media and Entertainment division states: “Barco is known for its long legacy of innovation and is always at the forefront with new and reliable technologies. We enable our customers to implement all single projector 3D technologies and we actively provide dual-projector 3D solutions. The 3D business is going to grow exponentially in the next few years and Barco is ready for this evolution.”

This year, you can visit Barco at Cinema Expo from June 23rd to 26th at the RAI in Amsterdam, booth: Suite F.
