2. Barco product offering – Trigger 1
Availability of TI 0.98 inch DC2K chip triggered development
of cheaper and more efficient Barco projector range
TI developed a 0.98 inch DC2K chip (traditional TI DC2K chip
measured 1.2 inch). Integration of this smaller chip in our projector
resulted in a cheaper and more efficient projector
Cheaper
– Smaller optics means less glass and reduced manufacturing
complexity (projector internal optics and prime lenses)
More efficient optics
– More efficient lamps require less power and cooling
– Improved design of optical path
– Patent pending efficient and high contrast prism architecture
Cost-reduced solutions for all screen sizes and lower cost of ownership

5. Barco product offering – Overview Barco USPs 4
Our product leadership focuses on maximum ease-of-use and
uptime at minimum cost of ownership
Minimum Maximum Maximum
Key Barco differentiators: Cost of Ease of Uptime:
Ownership: use**:
Optimal protection of optics
Modular design of projector
Motorized single lens solution*
SNMP agent + Comm SW
Redundant power supplies
Low CFM requirement
* Due to wide and overlapping lens ranges. No need for anamorph ** Install, Operate & Service

6. Barco product offering – Total cost of ownership / Operational cost 5
Reducing the operational cost for the .98” projector range
was an important objective for Barco
Barco’s new 0.98”DC2K projector line, making use of high-
efficiency short-arc lamps, has significantly lower running
cost per hour than when using traditional lamps and comes
close to the running cost of 35mm projection. Example*:
12k lumen output

7. Barco product offering – Software and User Interface 6
On all the new products an improved software version will be used
Communicator software:
– New look and feel
– Controls projector, ACS-2048 and potentially also the server
– Capabilities to integrate GUI of server onto the embedded PC
– Capabilities to integrate the Screen management system (SMS)
onto the embedded PC OR to integrate the communicator
software into the SMS (integration with XDC as part of the IP-
Racine project).
– Full version of Communicator software comes standard with the
projector
– New software version is backwards compatible (DP100/DP90)
– Access control: Owner of the equipment defines user level and
password
