Barco and JVC to announce cooperation on LCoS display technology
Barco, a global innovator and industry leader in digital visualization, is pleased to announce its cooperation with professional electronics company JVC on the implementation of JVC’s D-ILA technology. The offspring of this deal is Barco’s recently launched LX-5 projector, which will be showcased at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam, end of January 2008.
“The use of JVC’s D-ILA technology enables the LX-5 to have a supreme 10 megapixel resolution and unrivaled color accuracy, thanks to the display technology’s high contrast (10,000:1) capabilities,” explains Peter De Meerleer, Director of Product Management at Barco, “This allows true, natural black levels and an enhanced color gradience, and helps the LX-5 to create an image quality so natural that it rivals human perception of reality. The LX-5 is bound to become the projector of choice for ultra high-resolution applications.”“We were very pleased to team up with Barco,” adds Keiichiro Doi, JVC’s chief technology officer, “because we knew that Barco is a historically established top performance projector manufacturer with the right know-how to leverage our 10 megapixel D-ILA technology, and the right savvy to make this high resolution concept a success. The time is now for LCoS technology to conquer the market, and thanks to the partnership with Barco, we can make it happen.”
Visitors to Integrated Systems Europe, which is Europe’s largest professional AV exhibition, will be able to see Barco’s LX-5 at Barco booth J73. ISE takes place from January 29 until January 31, 2008, in Amsterdam’s RAI exhibition halls. It will be shown connected to Barco’s award-winning XDS-1000 display management system, to demonstrate its advanced ultra-high brightness collaboration capabilities.
The LX-5 is already fully available for sales. Visit www.barco.com for more information.
