The Barco 4K-60L projection system with its 60,000 lumens is an ideal solution for big screen theaters and offers exceptional image quality, unmatched brightness in 3D with vivid contrast, realistic color reproduction and the same image quality in the center as at the edges of the screen.”

The Barco DP4K-60L is the first DCI-compliant projector capable of showing 4K 2D content at 60 fps and 4K 3D at 30 fps. Barco’s flagship laser projectors are based on an intelligent projector concept that combines cost effectiveness and the unmatched Barco Alchemy technology.
