Recommendation for a 4k PJ for a 6m wide rear-projection

There is only one option: Home Cinema Optimized Barco 4K, do not waste your time looking at anything else. Resistance is futile.

Have a look at our Simulation Division projectors. What you are working on is quite common for us. http://www.barco.com/en/virtualreality/references/

Here is a 4K Simulation unit: http://www.barco.com/en/product/1904/specs

Ah the trusty ol' JVC LCoS engine unit. Any improvements/updates in the past four years? JVC introduced a second projector, new LCoS chips a year or two ago, if memory serves me right.

Of course there has been, couln't find the LX-10, but it was in the SIM series: http://www.barco.com/projection_syst...ro_sim10_m.pdf.

This reference is about six meters, judging by the picture: http://www.barco.com/en/reference/3839

For 3D this one wouldn't be overpowered, as the LCoS has to use two 4500 lumens units. http://www.barco.com/en/product/2442

LCoS units work wonders for us. It is a matter of using the proper technology for the proper application. Many of our simulation units use them, they have a super contrast level required for nigh vision simulation.

Still, our Digital Cinema units did migrate to our Simulation division (stereoscopic) with some tweaks.

Yeah, even a fraction of that marketed 10 million to one is great. Added the SIM 10 for that reason. It looks like they all use the same xenon lamps, so no large differences are to be expected there, Trinitron.

oh yes i agree

only one poind is that the 4k have a slightly lees good cr. but i think
that is compare to all the things he can do better than everything else on the market and how future prove this pr. is a no issue.

Do they integrate with XDS, and similar collaboration software?

Hi Peter,

Can you please give more info on this set up? what screen are you using? I assume its a passive system, thus you are using silver 4k screen? How is the image look on the silver screen? I've heard a lot of hot spotting comparing to a normal white screen and what about the 2d images on this silver screen. I hope with this set up you don't have to invest in two different screens (that could be very expensive!). thanks

6mil to 1 contrast on some of your simulation projectors ( lcos ), very nice. Much higher then the best HT projector whose environment usually benefits from the higher on/off verses most commercial settings. Regardless how good we have it the HT market and its specs are still in its infancy after seeing this, plenty of room for improvement. I realize it comes down to cost for this improvement but at least higher on/off is a reality.

Die Sony SRX-T420 ist schlecht.

Christie 4k is good.

Alan, Peter indicated several times this high contrast technology is coming to the DCi platform, as an option, probably somewhere in 2012.

BTW, saw the 'JVC compact SHV projector', it was just sitting on a shelf. I also saw two units of the Sharp 85" Super Hi-Vision (8K) LCDs. One was still switched off, the other was showing a low rez set of test bars and simple coarse text saying London, was the production desk for the multi-city demo this week-end.

Haven't checked the Christie 'largest line up' release yet, but it will probably be on show, again.

Trinitron it is Wolfgangs shorthand for Contrast Ratio.

Something to look forward to.

At IBC Christie was showing the 4 something 35, with 35K lumens, rear screen was not even 6 meters wide, probably more like 4 meters wide, the light was needed though.

Christie has a demofacility?

"cr" is contrast ratio

Hi , you would need to do a daily dual or something IF YOU MUST watch 2d. I tell you because I had a visitor who manufactures white acoustically transparent screens.

I told him that this system makes 2-D completely obsolete, using the Teranex configured for minimum ghosting with the realD.

In the beginning 2 minutes he was all over not as much the hotspot but the slight grain slightly noticeable within the hotspot and said the 3d effect is not that strong (perhaps expecting pop up effects), I told him stop looking for stuff coming out the screen and observe instead the parallax geometry, after 5 minutes he started ignoring the small grain and the minor hotspot (this is a 2.2) and saying wow a lot. I kept asking him all along better than 2d? he did agree I caught his afterthoughts in a youtube for later posting. This is someone whose primaries business interests are opposite to a silver screen polarized solution and who essentially says non of his customers do 3d yet said this is the best image he has ever seen.

Like I said 2d is so dead it ain't even funny...

Hi Martin,

I am just curious, what is the conclusion of your research?

Thank you,

The first and Only edited commercial available 4K project is the nature documentary "Timescapes".
Available in one compressed 4K 31 Gigabyte mp4, with a bit rate of 80 Mbits at 4096 x 2304 pixels edition, and one "uncompressed" 4K 330GB Gigabyte Movie in the Cineform codec, at 4096 x 2304 pixels edition.

Wait until around 2020, then move somewhere in the world with ota|cable|ip TV broadcasting in 4k2k or 8k4k . . . or maybe just stay where you are; EBU countries will probably get SHV TV before US|Canada! However, as HBO will probably be shooting Game Of Thrones Season 14 in 4k2k for same resolution broadcast in the Japanese market, they will probably want to sell BD4k2k discs there too . . . which suggests world wide availability of 4k2k content in some form by that date...?!

On 8/3/2012, Advanced Television com reported that "NHK brings forward Ultra-HD start date" (link). _

Barco and Christie are good choices, congrat on the move!

I do think this one also would fit the ticket:

http://www.avsforum.com/t/1394036/red-4k-3d-laser-projector-10k

For a .6 m screen not a 6 meter screen;-).

According to the first articles you are correct. But I believe the screen size for this unit should read 15'. Still not 6m but Red talks about upgrade options that will easily fit any home theater screen size.

It still would not fit the the ticket as in 'unavailable', the Christie has allready been installed.
