To complete its offer for the fixed installation market, Barco is extending its F-series platform with a flexible new projector, the F80. Billed as “the silent F”, it brings three powerful assets to museums and venues that require: under 10K lumens; 24/7 duty cycles: 4K resolution; the efficiency and economy of laser; and the ability to host the projector in the same room as the audience.
“For the F80, we really focused on users that require quality together with long term reliability,” says VP Events Carl Rijsbrack. “Typically, this could be in closer settings such as museum displays or corporate meetings. So the question of noise levels is important. These users can now have the image quality they require based on the latest projection technologies inside a compact unit.”
The F80 builds on the fundamentals of the other Barco F-series phosphor laser projectors, namely freedom, flexibility and 4K resolution. For users, this translates as uniformity, increased up-time, very low maintenance and energy efficiency.
The constant brightness and long-life colour performance is further bolstered by Barco Pulse’s unique Single Step Processing (SSPTM) technology that delivers 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution in only one step. Users can offer their audiences a sharper image and much higher overall image quality with less latency compared to other products on the market.
“We wanted to produce the best-in-class projector for museums, theme parks, virtual and augmented reality applications as well as executive boardrooms,” said Director Strategic Marketing, Peter Pauwels. “They want a projector that is reliable, flexible, easy to set up and use, cost-efficient and that projects superb colours at 4K resolution. The fact that it is also ultra-silent really opens up their options in terms of installation and use.”
The Barco F80 will be available from the fourth quarter of 2017.
