Features

Our Pulse platform is packed with features that will improve the overall customer experience, improve picture quality and simplify integration;

Warp to Center

Barco Residential has a unique way to handle aspect ratio's within our 16:9 projectors. This feature is called warp to center. The change between aspect are instant.

Prospector

Barco’s web interface: Prospector, provides quick and simple configuration and calibration of Pulse projectors, along with monitoring and diagnostic tools.
Pulse prospector is available in all the Pulse based products.

Illumination

A unique blue laser phosphor light engine developed by Barco.

Blue lasers are selected based on their high density and power efficiency.

Warp & Blend

Warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for alignment distortions. Blending allows multiple projectors to be seamlessly combined to create unique digital canvas solutions.

RealColor

RealColor is Barco's proprietary color management system, enabling simple and accurate calibration to your desired color gamut or white point.

Latency

Low latency is desirable to achieve that smoother gameplay and user experience we all want, without input lag. If latency is >30ms, your gaming experience will be compromised, Barco’s latency is <20ms (including all image processing).

Professional grade optics

Medea’s optical engine architecture is world-class, built from custom designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low dispersion glass lenses. The resulting image quality is simply outstanding.

State of the art "Pulse" electronics

Our “Pulse” electronics are built on a superior FPGA platform, featuring a dual core processor on the industry’s only 20 nm SoChave, with 96 transceiver lanes delivering 3.3 Tbps of serial bandwidth.

Thanks to our unique single step processing technology (SSPTM), Pulse electronics are designed to process 4K UHD, HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 signals with extremely low latency. This provides exceptional gaming and movie viewing experiences.

Barco’s RealColor processing enables simple and accurate calibration to your desired color gamut and white point.

Award winning DLP technology

Medea utilises the very latest 0.66" DMD from Texas Instruments which features a 5.4 Micron Micromirror Pitch and a ±17° Micromirror Tilt (Relative to Flat Surface). This technology allows us to display flawless 4K UHD (3,840 × 2,160 px) images.

Laser light source

Light on demand, allows you to adjust light output to match the time of day and/or content you’re viewing. Medea’s long laser lifetime means you can treat it like a TV, whilst still getting the big screen experience. 20,000 hours laser usage equates to 5 hours viewing every day for 11 years.
