Introducing the new Heimdall projection platform and the addition of the NT series to the Residential line

3 min read

Barco Residential is ready to wow audiences with the brand new Heimdall+ projector, and the high value NT series of DV-LED walls.

Heimdall is the son of Odin, the Norse god who illuminates the world.  Heimdall & Heimdall+ will illuminate fine residential cinemas around the world, leveraging technologies, craftsmanship and experience that have made Barco the industry leader in commercial cinema and the simulation market.

 

Just as Heimdall meticulously oversees the realms, ensuring that everything is in perfect order, the Heimdall projector line will excel in delivering stunning visuals that captivate any audience.

Sharing advanced technologies from family members Bragi & Njord, Heimdall enhances your cinematic journey, bringing every detail to life with unparalleled vibrancy.

A home cinema is a valued family focal point.  The drama of a great movie, or the excitement of live sports and console gaming are unforgettable experiences.  And each room is unique in size and design.  Heimdall & Heimdall+ are the first of many models in the Heimdall series with options to perfectly fit a wide range of premium home cinemas.  You will be able to choose 16x9 or Cinemascope, with a choice of brightness levels.

Heimdall comes in two flavors: the basic 4,000 lumen version, and the Heimdall+ offering 6,000 lumens—enough brightness to illuminate even large screens for the most home cinema excitement!

True luxury is also simplicity.  Cinemascope versions will feature Barco Residential’s unique auto aspect detection.  Every movie is displayed at the perfect height and perfect aspect ratio automatically with virtually no user intervention required.
