Digital cinema pioneer Barco announced today
that Dolby Laboratories has selected 20 DP100 2K Digital Cinema Projectors.
Barco’s DP100 2K Digital Cinema Projectors were selected in part due to Barco’s
leading reputation as a high-quality reference standard within the industry and
its market leadership in postproduction for color grading and Academy screenings
for the most discriminating audiences in the motion picture industry.
Barco’s DP100 advanced “Communicator Software” allows easy projector setup and
functionality in both 2-D and 3-D applications, as well as sophisticated 2-D and
3-D “macro-control” for easy one-button operation, preferred by leading
exhibitors. The Barco 2K Digital Cinema Projectors work seamlessly with Dolby
Digital Cinema servers, which provide all the elements for digital movie
playback and show management.
“We are pleased to have earned the trust of digital cinema providers like Dolby
Laboratories, based on a track record of providing high-quality digital
projection systems with advanced features that make implementation easy and
reliable for exhibitors,” stated Nico Vernieuwe, Vice President of Sales and
