Barco Unveils 12K Lumens Single-Chip DLP Projector

Barco just launched a single-chip DLP projector outputting 12,000 center lumens light output. The brand-new RLS-W12 offers WUXGA (1,920×1,200) resolution, extended warping and blending, and HDBaseT technology to provide video over a single Cat 5 cable. This new projector is the perfect choice for small- to medium-sized venues, and its optional rental frame makes it equally suited for the rental and staging market as well. The projector will be commercially available next month.

Featuring both HDBaseT and BarcoLink technology, the RLS-W12 supports point-to-point transmission of video signals — up to WUXGA (1,920×1,200) at 60 Hz — from source to projector, over distances of more than 70 meters, via a single Cat 5 cable or a single BNC cable.

The RLS-W12 features a rugged design that reduces noise and minimizes power consumption and it gets its 12,000 center lumens with twin 465W NSH lamps, which provide a 40,000-hour life. What’s more, the RLS-W12 operates at full brightness on a voltage range of 110V – 240V, so that users who are based in the U.S. or Japan won’t require an extra adapter to use it.

The RLS-W12 can be easily controlled in multiple ways: via the new wired or wireless remote control, the projector control app for Android and iOS devices, and the user-friendly Barco Projector Toolset software.

Here are the specs.
