Barco Barco announces
the expansion of its projector portfolio with the SIM 7Q HB. This new projector
builds on the proven benefits of the SIM 7Q projectors, but delivers a brightness
of 2,800 lumens.
As such, the SIM 7Q HB is the world's brightest QXGA
projector dedicated to the training and simulation industry, and a great solution
for systems that need both high resolution (2048x1536) and high brightness. The
innovative projector will debut at I/ITSEC, 28 November - 1 December 2011, in
Orlando, Florida. The SIM 7Q HB builds on
the success of Barco's SIM 7 series, currently one of the most widely used projector
ranges in the training and simulation industry. Over the past few years, these
projectors have become key components in many professional simulation systems,
including 360° domes, mini-domes, collimated displays, faceted displays, and
custom solutions.
“The SIM 7Q HB was designed following customer
requests for a simulation projector that adds high brightness to the SIM 7Q's
high resolution, deep contrast and unique smear reduction,” says Peter De
Meerleer, Barco's Director Products and Solutions Management Simulation. “The
greater light output expands the applicability of this versatile projector range
even further, making it ideal for environments where brightness is a critical
issue.” High-bright system for eye-limiting
resolution The SIM 7Q HB uses Liquid Crystal on Silicon
(LCoS) technology, which has a number of advantages for training and simulation
systems. These include a stunning dynamic range of 6,000,000:1, a high pixel-fill
factor and extremely small pixel density – enabling systems to be created
with eye-limiting resolution. Furthermore, the unique smear reduction option ensures
that even fast-moving scenes remain sharp and free of ghosting. This makes the
SIM 7Q HB the preferred projector for fast jet, nap-of-the-earth, and high-speed
racing training systems. For even more flexibility, a special portrait mode model
– the SIM 7QP HB – is available as well. Designed
for multi-channel systems A number of innovative
features that create a single seamless image using multiple projectors ensure
that the SIM 7Q HB can be perfectly integrated into multi-channel systems. These
features include: linked constant light output (CLO) and DynaColor to equalize
brightness and color between channels, robust electronic edge blending to eliminate
visible blend zones, and built-in warping technology to ensure a geometrically
correct image on curved or spherical screens. With all of its innovative features
and top-of-class specifications, the SIM 7Q HB creates the high-quality images
needed for immersive simulation systems, even in environments with challenging
light conditions.
