Advanced Modular Architecture

High demanding markets, such
as Rental & Staging are
continuously relying on the most
advanced technologies. With an
eye to the future, BARCO
designed a projector platform
that is not only compatible with
today’s standards, but also with
tomorrow’s.
Using the modular concept of
BARCO’s ELM Series rental
companies can easily adapt the
projection system to the
requirements of their customers

.

Different Lamp Modules

The chassis can accomodate
different lamp modules to meet
the brightness or power
requirements of various
applications

Modular Power Supply

Up to three lamp power supplies
can be fitted to meet future lamp
power requirements.

Switching
Panel Resolution

The platform is designed to
include today’s as well as future

modules.

Accomodate any Input
Format

The system can easily be updated
to meet the input requirements
of the customer.

• The ELM series are equipped
with two digital input slots to
accomodate any current or future
digital source format

• The ELM series come standard
with 2 analog inputs and one SDI
(Serial Digital Input).

Easy Service and
Maintenance

• Innovative internal architecture
and fast removable side panels
ensure easy service and
maintenance, even in stacked
configurations.

• The lamphouse can be changed
in less than 2 minutes and
features a unique memory
module, allowing the projector
to adapt to the lamp properties.

BARCO’s ELM Series deliver a stunning
12,000 lumen for the ELM R12 and
10,000 lumen for the ELM G10 version.

Constant Light Output (CLO)

CLO allows to get even more out of your platform.
This technology maintains the initial maximum
brightness level for a much longer time than any
competitive projection system.
CLO also offers the possibility to link projectors for
multiple screen setups, eliminating the possible visible
differences in light output.
