James Gardiner from CineTechGeek chatted with Goran Stojmenovik, Barco's Product Manager for Entertainment, at this year's NAB Show, exploring some of the key issues surrounding this rapidly evolving projection technology that is changing the industry.


In the first scenario, Gardiner learns all about the benefits of a single-head projector (like the Barco DP4K-60L projector) over a dual-head projector. Other topics include cooling and laser longevity, focusing on the chillers used with the Barco Laser that increase reliability and lifespan, as well as the adoption of Blue Pump Phosphor.

Next, Goran shares his real real-world experience, including the difficulties associated with archiving Rec.2020 color with laser. The two touch on the next wave of brightness levels for cinema. They conclude with a discussion of when these new technologies will become commonplace based on factors like HDR, contrast and even cinema design. Watch the video here.
