Welcome to this presentation on the Barco DP2K-10Sx digital cinema projector. This cinema
projector has been designed with the independent cinemas and arthouses in mind.
A very important aspect for those exhibitors is having a sublime image. So the design motto
behind this projector was bringing the same sublime images on the smaller screens as a
larger cinema projector would bring on the larger screens.
To achieve that, Barco's engineers have designed a new platform from the ground up around TI's
.69 inch chip so that we could bring the absolute brightness, the ultimate brightness out of
this projector. Another very important design point has been
the choice of the lamp technology. We have decided to remain using Xenon lamps as this
is the perfect technology for digital cinema projectors. Not only does it bring the absolute
brightness but it also has a very uniform color spectrum, a very natural color spectrum
that is also constant in time. This is essential for giving the right cinematic
experience and keeping it over time. Additionally, the DP2K-10Sx projector has
fully motorized lenses, this is allowing exhibitors to always show the correct aspect ratio on
the screen and keeping the artistic intent that was there in the movies in the first
place. Another very important feature we have decided
to retain into this smaller-chip projector is the manual convergence. This is enabling
this projector to converge the red, green and blue images at a sub-pixel level for a
very good convergence but it also allows us to rotate these images with respect to one
another to perfectly converge, also in the corners and deliver a perfectly sharp image
all over the screen. And very importantly, Barco's engineers have
also used the same sealing technology of the .69 inch chip onto the prism to avoid dust
coming in there and keeping the same sublime images over time.
