Barco Lobby Experience: captivating moviegoers from the moment they enter the cinema
Barco’s innovative Lobby Experience allows cinema exhibitors to transform the ordinary cinema lobby into an engaging, revenue-generating entertainment center by creating animated box office, concessions and menu boards, animated movie posters and dynamic, multi-screen movie trailer presentations.
CineEurope visitors can enjoy the Barco Lobby Experience at the Barco Booth (Suite A).
Barco Flagship Laser projection: unprecedented image quality for a premium movie experience
As confirmed in recent audience surveys, Barco’s Flagship Laser projection technology offers exceptional image quality for Premium Large Format (PLF) and large auditoriums. At the same time, it simplifies operations and reduces running costs for cinema exhibitors. Barco therefore believes that RGB laser projection will soon predominate in premium cinemas.
CineEurope visitors can experience the unparalleled image quality of Barco Flagship Laser projection in demo room M118-M119.
Laser phosphor series: great value for money and image quality, all rolled into one
To allow cinema exhibitors to benefit from laser projection in every auditorium across their entire circuit, Barco expanded its Flagship Laser series with laser phosphor cinema projectors (both new and retrofit models). Freeing cinemas from all lamp-related hassles and costs, laser phosphor solutions offer considerable cost savings and ease of use while ensuring superior image quality.
Barco will showcase its wide range of laser technology in demo room M120-M121.
Barco Escape: the ultimate, immersive cinema experience
Barco Escape, Barco’s multi-screen, panoramic movie format, leverages the power of three Barco digital cinema projectors to put moviegoers inside the action like never before. A growing number of filmmakers and studios are embracing the immersive format: Barco has a five-year agreement with 20th Century Fox and deals with two leading production companies Cross Creek and Fundamental Films to release movies in Barco Escape.
Visitors can see Barco Escape in action at demo room L115.
AuroMax®: the perfect pairing to a premium cinema experience
AuroMax®, Barco’s immersive sound rendering technology, takes Barco’s immersive sound solutions to a whole new level.
