These exceptional projectors are the ultimate expression of Barco Residential’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and image quality. Built with the best professional cinema technologies and fully DCI compliant, they have been exclusively enhanced for the home environment. The choice of film professionals.
The Pulse series has two benefits, they are tailored to be used in dedicated theater rooms or controlled light environments. They are designed for the true cinephile who desires accurate images and consistent Rec. 709 or DCI/P3 color performance, as intended by the movie director. But at the same time, some of the models have enough light to be used in environments with greater ambient light, delivering excellent image quality in adverse lighting conditions.
Barco Residential’s Freya projector is based on Barco’s known Series 4 platform. Freya is also the wife of Odin, the most powerful god in Northern mythology and the mother of Balder. That alone should be enough to understand the power of this projector.
The core of the projector is using our known Pulse platform, combining that with Alchemy and you get a very smart and easy to use projector. Freya is exclusively created for high-end home theaters, with more contrast and a wider color gamut, at the level of our reference Thor projector. It features the latest in native 4K DLP® chipsets from Texas Instruments and the acclaimed Barco Alchemy Integrated Cinema Media Processor (ICMP)
Nerthus is a deity, associated with prosperity and peace. She is also the sister of Njord and the mother of Freya. This new Barco Residential flagship projector is part of the Series 4 platform, which is then combined with Alchemy, creating a very smart, easy to use projector.
Nerthus is exclusively created for high-end home theaters, with 32,000 lumens, more contrast, covering 100% of the REC.2020 color gamut. It features the latest native 4K DLP Cinema® chips from Texas Instruments and the acclaimed Barco Alchemy ICMP-X (Integrated Cinema Media Processor).
The result? A custom-designed residential cinema projector with enhanced contrast for the ultimate image quality. Nerthus is available with a wide range of lenses, offering you the freedom of flexible installation. Play either DCI encrypted content or your favorite 4K HDR consumer content via HDMITM 2.0 with HDCP 2.2.
4K UHD resolution, 6,500 lumens of laser illumination and custom Barco Pulse electronics, all painstakingly optimised and produced in our European design centers to deliver unprecedented fun in small to medium sized media rooms. Just as the mythical Medea flew in a golden chariot driven by dragons (sent by her grandfather Helios, god of the sun) our Medea will bring life to fantasy.
Bragi takes its name from an historical ninth-century poet. His poems were so outstandingly artful and moving that subsequent generations imagined that, upon his death, Odin had appointed him the court poet of Valhalla. Bragi is also Balder's brother and inherited Balders design language, optical core and lenses. Bragi will have the same PULSE electronic and SW platform powered by a revolutionizing new LED engine.
Bragi produces a stunning, wide and extremely consistent P3/DCI color Gamut with a rich, vibrant color rendition. Low noise (<30dB), with up to 50 000 hour life expectancy, 9 lens options and close to unlimited installation flexibility. In short, it is the best picture quality ever shown at this level.

Hodr is Njord’s little brother and means warrior. Hodr delivers perfect cinematic colors, supporting DCI/P3 color gamut. Our Hodr features a pleasing and uniform image with the power light up medium to large screens, whilst delivering an unbelievably detailed image with spectacular color fidelity for an unmatched experience that will delight even the most discerning clients.
Njord inherits a lot from the predecessor Wodan but the entire light source and part of the optical engine is completely redesigned and made smaller, more efficient and most importantly optimized for perfect cinematic colors, coupled with a high-capacity 2.37:1 aspect DLP engine. Its exceptional design allows a cinemascope film to be shown without requiring an anamorphic lens.
Njord was the god of wind, seafarers, coasts and inland waters. He was believed to have the ability to calm waters and quell fires. This is how we see Njord. Njord has a pleasing calm uniform image, but it also has the power to overcome most ambient lit rooms and is designed for large screens or high ambient light environments; like outdoor entertainment spaces and contemporary glass home designs, all benefit from an unbelievably bright and detailed image with spectacular color fidelity for the most demanding clients.
