What is DLP ? Digital Light Processing technology is a revolutionary display solution that uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. The result is maximum fidelity, with a picture whose clarity, brilliance and color must be seen to be believed. White light passes through a color wheel filter, causing red, green and blue light to be shone in sequence on the surface of the DMD.
DLP board shaping optics Adding color The white light generated by the lamp in a DLP™ projection system passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel filters the light into red, green, and blue, from which a single- chip DLP™...

Barco’s added value Built in redundancy The conception of the projection engine in terms of redundancy deals with its weakest link - the lamp, which is the main consumable. The lamps are combined with the lamp electronics in the illumination unit, which is physically separated from the projection unit.

Failed lamp can be changed while other lamp High Mean Time Between Failure concept All components have been selected carefully for delivering a product with high Mean Time Between Failure. The design of the projection module in terms of cooling and integration of the parts has been optimized to prolong the lifetime of the product.
The integration of Optical Dimming allows image equalizing capability Optical Dimming allows brightness adjustment of the lamp within 50- 100% range before the light reaches the DLP chip. This feature allows to control brightness of all the screens to reach equal luminance values. In particular, this design allows for the following advantages compared to conventional electronic dimming:...
