Barco has launched its HDR solution suite, a projection ecosystem with HDR lightsteering technology available to cinemas.

Barco’s HDR offering is designed to enable a seamless content pipeline from post-production to theatre screens, ensuring that audiences see movies the way filmmakers intended.

“With lightsteering, we set out to create an HDR technology that would drastically improve the presentation of movies and storytelling onscreen,” Barco Cinema executive vice president Gerwin Damberg says.

“We’re excited to bring HDR lightsteering to the market now in Barco’s high dynamic range ecosystem. HDR by Barco is a premium solution for movie exhibitors that gives filmmakers a wider creative canvas and enables a new level of storytelling.”

The product suite includes projectors for exhibitors as well as complimentary technology and software toolkits for studios and post-production professionals. The revolutionary Barco HDR Lightsteering projector steers light to specific focal points within each frame, resulting in brighter highlights and deeper darks for rich, brilliant, high-contrast images.
