Galaxy NW-12
Barco’s Galaxy NW-12 is the world’s first active 3D stereo projector with a full
WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution. Its outstanding image quality, thanks to its threechip DLP technology and a bright 12,000 lumens light output, is matched only by
its ease of use and flexibility: in a familiar Windows desktop, you can display any
mix of 2D and 3D stereo sources. The Galaxy NW-12 is the definitive choice for any
collaborative single- or multi-projector display setup. It renders your display system
more stable, more durable and above all, offers superior image quality.
The price of a projection system is more than just its purchase: servicing,
maintenance, peripherals and learning curves should also be taken into account,
and often add up to a much higher cost. Barco’s Galaxy NW-12 greatly reduces the
total cost of ownership on many levels:
Applications
• Geophysical data analysis
• Avionic and automotive design and review
• Scientific research and data management
• Virtual construction and engineering

• You save time, because
you don’t need to learn
how to work with a new
interface and connect
various sources over and
over again. You simply use
Windows and the XDS
Control Center software.
• You save money, because you don’t need
to buy remote controls or matrix switchers.
Instead, you use keyboard and mouse, and
display sources simultaneously on one
screen, in fully reconfigurable windows.
• Reduce maintenance costs.
Your projection system is
practically maintenance-free
due to its sealed optical
engine, and its centralized
control and maintenance
functionalities eliminate many
manual check-up routines.
• Improved reliability. Thanks to its liquid
cooling and its top-of-the-line xenon
lamp, the Galaxy NW-12 boasts a significantly longer system lifetime compared to
other three-chip DLP systems.

• Edge blending technology creates
one continuous image across the
entire screen, without blurry overlap
zones. Thanks to Barco’s new alpha
and beta plane technology, electronic blend zones will be close to
invisible. In addition, Barco is the only
company that has mastered perfect
optical blending.
• DynaColor and linked CLO (constant
light output) match color or brightness differences across channels to
create one constant color and light
output for the entire image. A unique
advantage of Barco’s new and
improved DynaColor is that it uses
alignment points for both primary
and secondary colors, which puts it in
pole position among comparable
technologies.
•
Bi-cubical warping (geometry correc-
tion) ensures that an image is projected correctly, with an extremely high
level of accuracy (up to 33 by 33 control points), even across curved, nonflat surfaces, to guarantee a natural
view free of distortions.
Revolutionary design
The aesthetically designed Galaxy NW-12 uses a chassis designed to
attain some of the lowest noise levels in its class, averaging well
under 49dB. The liquid-cooled optical engine’s reliability is further
increased by being fully sealed, which means no dust can enter and
cause degradation in contrast and black levels. Your image quality also
remains stable over time, thanks to the NW-12’s rock solid lens holder. This grants the Galaxy NW-12 a system lifetime that is substantially longer than that of similar three-chip DLP systems, a platform
already noted for its great reliability.
The bottom line
The Galaxy NW-12’s unique combination of liquid cooling, mechanical
stability and improved multi-channel features lead to a very stable,
reliable multi-projector display system unrivaled in the industry.
Mastery
of 3D stereo imaging
The Galaxy NW-12’s three-chip DLP
platform is our customers’ preferred
platform for stereoscopic projection. The
exact 3D rendering that Barco’s Galaxy
NW-12 offers is vital to applications such
as automotive design review, analysis
of large geophysical data sets,
scientific research and many others.
The Galaxy NH-12 supports any current
type of stereoscopic technology,
depending on the customer’s wishes:
Designed
for multi-projector systems
Barco’s Galaxy NW-12 works just as smoothly in a single-projector
setup as well as in a multi-projector system, in front as well as rear
projection. Your systems will always have the same look and feel,
thanks to Barco’s XDS Control Center software, that lets you control
several sources simultaneously in a familiar Windows user interface.
Combined with our own variety of screen technologies and
mechanical structures, there is no type of system, whether flat or
curved-screen, that the Galaxy NW-12 can’t handle. To guarantee a
pristine image at all times, Barco has equipped the Galaxy NW-12
with a number of innovative technologies:
Thanks to its three-chip DLP technology, Barco’s Galaxy NW-12 can claim deep,
saturated color quality and a high degree of image realism. Its WUXGA resolution
also gives you the chance to view all aspects of your information sources in great
detail. In addition, WUXGA resolution is fully compatible with high-end laptops, or
allows HD videoconferencing to run unobstructed by tickers, subtitles or your
Windows task bar.
The Galaxy NW-12’s wide horizontal and vertical lens shift options further render it a
perfect choice for both front and rear projection. Its keystone and linearity corrections
are vastly superior to those of regular three-chip DLP systems, and help resulting in an
exceptional image quality.
The NH-12 is a native active
stereoscopic projector. Active stereo
uses only one projector per stereo
channel, and retains exceedingly high
levels of color quality. By requiring only
one projector per channel, a
visualization system can attain much
higher levels of cost-efficiency.
The NH-12 has integrated optional
active Infitec filters. This Barcopatented stereo technology has
uncompromised image quality,
regardless of the type of screen you
use. In addition, active Infitec makes
use of considerably more affordable
passive glasses.
The NH-12 also supports passive
polarized stereo, if your visualization
center is to be used by large groups.
Passive stereo setups, where two
projectors generate one stereo image,
also retain high levels of brightness,
which is ideal for larger rooms.
Familiar Windows interface
On a large-screen Windows desktop,
you can simultaneously view and
control any mix of 2D and 3D stereo
sources. With just mouse and keyboard,
you can select a source, move it, resize
its application window or make it overlap with another source. This includes
sources directly connected to the
Galaxy NW-12 as well as networked
content and remote desktops.
Whether you are in the oil and gas sector, the automotive industry, virtual engineering of scientific research, Barco’s Galaxy NW-12
will render your collaborative efforts faster and more efficient, leading to improved decision-making, thanks to theXDS Control
Center software suite. Barco’s XDS Control Center runs from your dedicated company computer that is connected to the projector,
and requires no additional display management systems in case you use a single- or a two-projector setup.
Real-time distance collaboration
With the Galaxy NW-12, you can’t just display any local or networked source, you can directly take control of it as well – all
with the same mouse and keyboard. You can combine your
sources with live video feeds or HD videoconferencing, so
that you can strongly reduce travel costs, or work in a slow
turn-based environment. Your content will not only be visible
and shared between locations, it will also be encrypted and
safeguarded against eavesdropping.
Centralized control and diagnostics
The Galaxy NW-12 presents a great asset for your tech support
staff, as it allows easy, centralized control and diagnostics over
the network, including remote startup and shutdown. The
Galaxy NW-12 enables your staff to check the projector’s runtime, its lamp lifetime and the status of connected sources. It
also sends automated e-mail alerts to your AV/IT-personnel
in case of lamp problems.
