Balder

Manufactured to perfection in Belgium, Balder is built from the highest quality materials including aluminium, magnesium and glass. Balder not only shares the same Ultra HD and HDR compatible Pulse electronics as Loki, the optical design and single laser engine are also taken from the Loki platform.

Professional grade optics

By basing Balder’s optical engine on it’s bigger brother Loki’s architecture, which features custom designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low dispersion glass lenses, image quality is in a class of its own.

Topping that, Balder’s chassis and core are built from aluminium and magnesium, which offer exceptional robustness, resulting in the best picture quality ever shown at this level.

State of the art electronics

Our “Pulse” electronics are built on a superior FPGA platform, featuring a dual core processor on the industry’s only 20 nm SoChave, with 96 transceiver lanes delivering 3.3 Tbps of serial bandwidth.

Thanks to our unique single step processing technology (SSPTM), Pulse electronics are designed to process 4K UHD, HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 signals with extremely low latency. This provides exceptional gaming and movie viewing experiences.

Laser light source

Outstanding image quality requires an exceptional light source, which is why Balder uses our brand-new laser engine which delivers up to 7,000 ANSI lumens output.

Alongside significantly improved image uniformity, lasers last longer than traditional projector lamps, offer great image quality consistence over their lifetime, are less fragile and offer near instant on/off performance.

Liquid cooling

Balder has departed from a pure fan based cooling system, opting instead for a liquid cooling PID regulation system. This combined with our simulation grade warp engine allows Balder to operate at any angle (free rotation), offering new possibilities when it comes to architectural integration.
