At the Cinema Expo trade show, digital cinema pioneer Barco strengthens it leading position by introducing a new member to the DP family.

 

The DP-1200 is Barco’s newest digital cinema projector, custom made for the small venue market. Thanks to the DP-1200 even the smallest cinemas now have access to digital cinema, at an affordable price.

 

Built on the renowned technology of the Barco DP series, the DP-1200 is Barco’s new digital cinema projector for the small market. It is designed for screens up to 12m (40ft) wide Using the same 0.98 inch DLP Cinema chip from Texas Instruments, the DP-1200 builds further on the success of the DP1500 and DP2000 platform.

 

Barco paid particular attention to further optimizing the operating cost, by making low wattage 2kW and 1.2kW lamps available for use in the DP1200. In addition, the DP-1200 incorporates all the traditional Barco benefits such as a modular design, a motorized single lens solution, optimal protection of the optics and a low ventilation requirement.
