Barco’s new 0.98 inch digital cinema platform fully endorsed by Major Hollywood studios

Digital cinema pioneer Barco announced today that major Hollywood studios fully endorse Barco’s new 0.98 inch platform for its DP-1500 and DP-2000 digital cinema projectors.

Barco’s two “mid venue” digital cinema projectors both incorporate Texas Instrument’s 0.98 inch DLP Cinema chip. This remarkable new 0.98 inch DMD (Digital Micro-mirror Device) offers the same pixel resolution (2048×1080) as its larger 1.2 inch counterpart, but its smaller size offers significant advantages. For the projector and the digital cinema facility itself, this new technology translates directly into a smaller, more compact package, lower power consumption, lower operating costs and longer lamp run-times — without sacrificing Barco’s renowned image quality, modularity or system flexibility.
