Barco Introduces 35,000 Lumens, Native 4K Projector for Rental and Staging

	Barco's HDQ-4K35 projector

Barco, a provider of projection technology, is expanding its projection portfolio for rental and staging with a brand-new three-chip DLP projector. Offering a brightness level of 35,000 center lumens, the brand-new HDQ-4K35 is capable of showing native 4K content at 60 Hz frame rates. It features a unique integrated design with internal power supply, rental frame, and no external chimney fan. The company says the HDQ-4K35 is fully ready to be combined with Barco's 4K screen-management system, which allows native 4K projector blending -- a first in the industry. Barco will unveil the new HDQ-4K35 at InfoComm 2014, June 18 - 20 in Las Vegas, and the projector will be commercially available as of fourth quarter 2014.

"Barco has been the industry leader in high-brightness and high-resolution projection technology for decades and with the introduction of the HDQ-4K35 projector we continue to raise the bar for image quality," comments Bill Morris, vice president venues and hospitality at Barco. "Thanks to its 4K (4,096 x 2,160) resolution and 60 Hz frame rate, it delivers razor-sharp images to boost live events with stunning visuals in vibrant, rich colors."

The HDQ-4K35 is equipped with a Xenon 6.5kW lamp and a high-contrast optical engine that insure vivid colors and present audiences with crisp, stunning images. Rental companies that already own a fleet of HDQ-2K40 projectors can reuse their XLD lenses for the HDQ-4K35 projector or opt for dedicated 4K lenses if higher lens shifts are needed to achieve the right image.

Offering native 4K input and output, the new E2 image processor -- also being launched at InfoComm 2014 -- is the only screen management system on the market able to manage a 32 projector blend using the HDQ-4K35 with refresh rates up to 60Hz.

Perfect for a multitude of rental and staging applications, the HDQ-4K35 boasts a unique integrated design with internal power supply, rental frame, and no external chimney fan. Designed with the road in mind, the HDQ-4K35 comes with a rugged metal chassis to withstand the challenging conditions of continuous shipping. Just like the other Barco rental projectors, the HDQ-4K35 features a modular design for easy installation and servicing -- a feature that's widely acclaimed by rental customers across the world.

At InfoComm, Barco will showcase the brand-new HDQ-4K35 in a two-channel blend of 8K by 2K pixels, what the company says is a first in the industry. Visit Barco at booth C6308, InfoComm trade show, Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, June 18 - 20.
