rAVe Scoop: Barco Introduces Three New High-Brightness Projector Lines
Sara Abrons
Over the next ten days, Barco will introduce a series of new products for its corporate audiovisual line, including three new projector families — the Present line, the Collaborate line and the Impress line.
The Present line is a series of one-chip DLP projectors ranging in brightness from 5,000 lumens up to 10,000 lumens. They are designed for boardrooms, houses of worship, large venues or meeting rooms. The line offers a white design, can be ceiling mounted or rest on a table top, and the controls offer a simple one-button remote. The brightest model, the PJWU-101B, offering 10,000 ANSI lumens is the brightest one-chip DLP projector on the market, according to Barco.
