Availability of TI 0.98 inch DC2K chip triggered development of cheaper and more efficient Barco projector range

Barco product offering – Trigger 1

TI developed a 0.98 inch DC2K chip (traditional TI DC2K chip measured 1.2 inch). Integration of this smaller chip in our projector resulted in a cheaper and more efficient projector

Cheaper– Smaller optics means less glass and reduced manufacturing

complexity (projector internal optics and prime lenses)

More efficient optics– More efficient lamps require less power and cooling– Improved design of optical path– Patent pending efficient and high contrast prism architecture

Cost-reduced solutions for all screen sizes and lower cost of ownership

Our product leadership focuses on maximum ease-of-use and uptime at minimum cost of ownership

Barco product offering – Overview Barco USPs 4

Key Barco differentiators:

Optimal protection of optics

Modular design of projector

Motorized single lens solution*

SNMP agent + Comm SW

Redundant power supplies

Minimum Cost of

Ownership:

Maximum Ease of use**:

Maximum Uptime:

** Install, Operate & Service

Low CFM requirement

* Due to wide and overlapping lens ranges. No need for anamorph

Reducing the operational cost for the .98” projector range was an important objective for Barco

Barco product offering – Total cost of ownership / Operational cost 5

Barco’s new 0.98”DC2K projector line, making use of high-efficiency short-arc lamps, has significantly lower running cost per hour than when using traditional lamps and comes close to the running cost of 35mm projection. Example*:

Providing direct channels to lamp manufacturers assures attractive lamp pricing

On all the new products an improved software version will be used

Barco product offering – Software and User Interface 6

Communicator software:– New look and feel– Controls projector, ACS-2048 and potentially also the server– Capabilities to integrate GUI of server onto the embedded PC– Capabilities to integrate the Screen management system (SMS)

onto the embedded PC OR to integrate the communicator software into the SMS (integration with XDC as part of the IP-Racine project).

– Full version of Communicator software comes standard with the projector

– New software version is backwards compatible (DP100/DP90)– Access control: Owner of the equipment defines user level and
