MVI-MultiVision Inc. has some great news for its customers – because now they are the first video display supplier in Canada to offer a 40,000 lumen projector for large, staged events and outdoor video mapping. A full service audio visual firm specializing in indoor/outdoor large screen video displays, MVI chose Barco when it came time to expand into the projection business. “Not only do we now offer the brightest rental projector in the world, but because of the HDQ-2K40’s light-on-demand technology, we can fulfill a variety of event needs with a more streamlined inventory,” comments Christopher Parry, Vice President of MVI-MultiVision Inc.

When thousands of Star Wars devotees gather in Florida during late August to celebrate the iconic film series, Lucasfilm puts on an event befitting the enthusiasm of its die-hard fans. The Digital Stage, sponsored by RealD, was the venue for a unique panel entitled the “Making of…” Star Wars: Episode II, which utilized Barco projection and its MatrixPRO HD-SDI in a presentation to explain how footage originally shot in 2D was manipulated to create a 3D feature film. The Barco projector was also used to show a sneak preview of the movie, in addition to screening two Star Wars movies nightly.

London is all set for its 2012 Paralympic Games, the Olympics for athletes with a visual or motorial disability, which are to take off tomorrow 29th August and last till 9th September. Barco is the proud preferred visualization partner and sponsor of the Belgian Paralympic organization (BPC).

Barco has expanded its rental portfolio with three heavy-duty and high-definition three-chip DLP projectors. The brand-new HDF-W22 offers 22,000 lumens light output, the HDF-W26 clocks in at 26,000 lumens and the HDQ-2K40 generates no less than 40,000 lumens.

Barco has stepped up the versatility of its best-in-class ImagePRO-II video switcher, assuring customers that this robust, all-in-one video scaler/scan converter/switcher/ transcoder can play well with consumer media players like BluRay, DVD, plasma panels and other display devices. This is a critical factor as HDMI becomes further entrenched as the defacto standard for video transmission.

Barco’s best-in-class ImagePRO-3G video switcher (and more!) was honored with a “Projection Product of the Year” award by Live Design. Barco’s ImagePRO line of format converters has been called the “Swiss Army knife” of video processing, combining the functionality of a high performance video scaler, scan converter, switcher and transcoder into a single, robust tool for any live show production.
