3)      Barco bridges the pixel gap with the ten megapixel LX-5 projector

Barco proudly announces the launch of its LX-5 projector, with a native resolution of 10 million pixels. Featuring a high dynamic contrast range of 10,000:1, the LCoS-based LX-5 is poised to be the ultimate choice for image accuracy and color quality. Barco’s LX-5 pushes new, revolutionary liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology to its limits by maximizing its capabilities to generate images with an extreme pixel density. With its resolution of ten megapixel, and its incredible 10,000:1 contrast ratio, the LX-5 radically enhances human perception of visual data. The LX-5 offers its users the chance to display the most detailed images and data for pixel-perfect analysis and discussion. This is important for presentation environments that require the display of finished product designs, aerial views, detailed data sheets or ultra-high definition graphical content. It displays up to four 1080p HD sources simultaneously in their native resolution, which makes for an enhanced, true comparison of detailed fields of data and images. Thanks to its LCoS optimizations, Barco’s LX-5 projects true, realistic black levels. Its bright light output of 4,500 lumens and adaptable color temperature further result in a great variety of lighting environments in which the LX-5 can be deployed. This renders it the perfect, cost-effective single-projector choice to power medium-sized presentation and collaboration venues, where previously, complex multi-channel setups were required.
