Freya I

Barco Residential’s Freya I 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)
