Laser projection is the future of digital cinema, and if you ask Bill Beck - Barco's very own "Laser Guy" - the future is now! Beck explains the advantages of laser- versus lamp-based movie projection and how 6-color RGB laser primaries create better 3D movie experiences in a recent blog edition of The Beat by PremiumBeat.com. Barco's single laser projector 6P system has been designed to address some of the challenges relating to white point, brightness and color gamut for each "eye". Its DP4K-60L projector has been built on a very flexible, versatile laser projection platform for cinema exhibitors, and soon, non-cinema applications, offering premium image quality and very low operating costs.


The article goes on to explain the technicalities of digital cinema laser projection with Beck clarifying the most important factors for exhibitors and audiences. According to Beck, "Although our Barco Laser3D projectors incorporate six primaries (for "Color 3D"), they will just as easily support all the other kinds of 3D: RealD, MasterImage, XpanD, and polarization glasses [that the public is already used to]. All of the system hardware, screens and glasses infrastructure are supported."
