Nothing surpasses the powerful reality of BARCO’s latest

generation of super-high resolution light-valve projection systems.

The BARCOREALITY 8200 and 9200 projector series offer a unique

combination of ultra-high brightness and super-high resolution.

Both projectors are equipped with super-XGA (1280x1024) LCD

panels and are compatible with sources having resolutions up to

2000 x 1280 pixels. Featuring an innovative high efficiency optical

system, with an 1,800 Watt metal-halide lamp, the BARCOREALITY

9200 offers an incredible light output of 6,000 lumens full white.

The BARCOREALITY 8200, with a 700 Watt metal-halide lamp,

produces a light output of 2,600 lumens full white. Both units

deliver crystal clear graphics images and razor sharp characters on

screens up to 15 m (50 ft) wide.

The BARCOREALITY 8200 and 9200 are the ultimate display

devices for large screen projection in the rental and conference

business, even for the most demanding applications in high

ambient light conditions such as simulation, CAD/CAM imaging,

process control and virtual reality centers.

Patented Pixel Map Processor

This innovative circuit digitally
converts all incoming signals to
the full resolution of the LCD
panels.

Every pixel is calculated by
state-of-the-art digital signal
processing techniques. The result
is optimal picture quality, crisp
graphics with smooth and
exceptionally readable characters.

The Pixel Map Processor provides
full compatibility with a wide
range of computer data and
graphics standards including
CGA, EGA, VGA, S-VGA (800x600),
XGA (1024x768), S-XGA
(1280x1024), 1600 x 1200 as well
as electronic workstations with
resolutions up to 2000 pixels

True Color Reproduction

for Broadcast Color
Quality

Accurate

Gamma
Correction

BARCO is the expert in true
color reproduction. Its broadcast

ALIBRATOR line monitors are

and C
the established color reference
standard in TV studios and in
printing industries worldwide.

Now BARCO has applied this
same expertise to its range of
LCD projectors. BARCO’s True
Color Reproduction (TCR)
technology for the 8200 and
9200 series projectors, redefines
the benchmarks for color depth
and accuracy for all video and
graphics projection display
applications.

Thanks to a user-definable
gamma correction feature,
BARCO’s large screen LCD
projectors perfectly display the
high quality video sources. This
enables BARCO to perfectly
reproduce non-linear video
recording systems (Gamma 2.2) as
well as non-video standard
computer image sources.

The result is perfectly balanced
color reproduction without any
loss of picture details or greyscale
compression.

Consistent

Color
Temperature

and Perfect

Whites

A wider range of color
temperature settings allows the
projector to be precisely
calibrated to match with the
broadcast, video, film or
computer display standard.
Through additional user­definable white balance settings,
BARCO’s TCR technology
guarantees a perfect white point
under every condition and for
any application:

• Projector White for maximum

light output

• Video White

(standard 6,500° K for US and
Europe)

Conventional system mid-level
tones can be compressed, blacks are
crushed, whites are overdriven.

• Broadcast Studio White

(standard 3,200° K)

• Film White (standard 5,400° K)

• Computer Display White

(9,300° K, custom balance for
fine adjustment and exact
matching of multiple projector
displays)

With built-in TCR

picture details remain intact
throughout the entire greyscale range.

Perfect

Greyscale
Tracking

Unlike other projectors, BARCO's

EALITY series projectors with TCR

R
offer perfect color tracking over
the entire greyscale range,
independent of the preferred
white point.

This results in consistent color
reproduction of bright and dark
scenes, in every corner of the
screen.

Perfectly Matched

Primary Color

Coordinates

Errors in primary colors result in
an inaccurate color display.
BARCO’s TCR is perfectly matched
to the international broadcast
standards defined by the EBU and
SMPTE.

This ensures breathtaking large
screen images with a perfectly
balanced color reproduction.

Conventional systems

Color shades in the grey vary from purplish dark
greys to greenish whites.

With built-in TCR

Greyscale reproduction is uniform and free
from color shading.
