London, Jun 16 (IANS): Global cinema technology leader Barco on Friday announced to expand its laser portfolio with two 'Smart Laser' projectors that provide large cinema screens with up to 33,000 lumens brightness and 2K or 4K resolution.

The DP2K-32BLP and DP4K-32BLP projectors free exhibitors from all lamp-related hassles and cost, allowing them to cut costs and simplify their operations.

"By introducing DP2K-32BLP and DP4K-32BLP projectors, we now provide exhibitors with projectors that are perfect for large cinema screens. We now provide the widest range of laser-illuminated cinema projectors in the industry, with no fewer than 15 'Flagship Laser' and 'Smart Laser' projectors," said Stijn Henderickx, Vice President, Cinema at Barco.

Exhibitors who already own a "32B Barco Xenon" cinema projector can retrofit their current projector to benefit from laser technology, rather than invest in an entirely new model.

"We're driving the adoption of laser projection around the world by enabling exhibitors to tap into the benefits of laser projection - irrespective of their screen size, theatre size or budget," Henderickx added.
