Barco Brings Laser Projection Technology Beyond Cinema to Rental and Staging

Visualization technology provider Barco will be represented at the NewBay Media Rental Staging Roadshow by Bill Beck "The Laser Guy," who will discuss the role of laser-illuminated projection for large entertainment venues as part of a panel discussion on next-generation video projection. The show takes place on July 29, 2015, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City.

"Based on our success with ultra-bright laser projectors for big screen cinema, we are adapting our laser technology to create new solutions that better fit the rental and staging model," comments Patrick Lee, vice president entertainment and corporate for Barco. "Our latest laser phosphor projector is just the first of many laser-illuminated pro AV projectors on the horizon, and part of an expanding product line soon to offer a laser projection solution for every application."

Beck, "The Laser Guy" for Barco, joins a panel discussion at the Rental Staging Roadshow to share insights on laser technology, large venue projection, and Barco's latest contributions to the rental and staging industry. During his presentation, Beck will explain the benefits and challenges of laser illumination in the context of several emerging large venue applications and what Barco is doing to address them.

"While lamps are still the preferred light source for rental and staging applications from a cost/ performance standpoint, Barco's laser technology platforms are being adapted for high performance, large venue applications," comments Beck. "As laser technology develops over the next few years, we will see significant reductions made in projector weight, size, and cost, which will make laser the optimal illumination solution for all applications," continues Beck.
