Active 3D, quick preview,

Barco's compact and powerful HDX-W18 projectorcombines full
source flexibility with ImagePRO scaling capabilities. Thanks to its
Xenon illumination and high contrast optical engine this 3-chip
DLP projector reproduces rich colors, presenting audiences with
crisp and vivid images on every occasion. What's more, the simple
user interface allows you to set up the projector in no time.
Finally, the HDX-W18 offers easy control through smartphones
and tablet computers.
Quick preview
The HDX-W18's built-in color LCD screen provides you with all the information
you need on your projector's status and allows you to preview your connected
sources.
3G-compatibility
The HDX-W18 has a native 3G HDSDI/SDI input, which makes it compatible
with progressive sources over a single BNC cable. This also means that the
HDX-W18 allows for digital inputs that don't come through fragile DVI fiber
cables.
Wireless control
Barco's HDX platform is designed for wireless control. Whether from one
central PC or with a smartphone or tablet computer, you remain connected to
the HDX at all times.
Only five building blocks
Designed with efficiency and quick setup in mind, the HDX-W18 features just
five building blocks that can be removed and replaced quickly. Thanks to its

HDX-W18
Barco
compact design, the HDX-W18 can easily be boxed, shipped and fits into
standard flight cases.
Fast signal distribution
Our proprietary BarcoLink technology guarantees swift signal distribution
between Barco’s projectors and image processors. With BarcoLink, signals are
distributed over a BNC coax cable, which is not only more durable but also
enables you to lower your costs.
Choose your brightness with HDX Flex
The HDX-W18 projector is also available with light-on-demand option. Thanks
to this technology, you can fully tune the light output of the projector to your
event: it can be programmed to a light output of 10,000 lumens up to 20,000
lumens in 2,000 incremental steps. In this way, rental companies have more
flexibility to offer their customers the light output they want.
Barco'sHDX series won an InAVation Award for Most InAVative Commercial
Projector.
At InfoComm 2012, the HDX-W18 won a Commercial Integrator BEST Award
for Best large-venue projector.
