Not forgetting that Barco Residential’s new Loki 4K CinemaScope projector took home a Top New Technology Award in the Residential Home Theatre / Multi-Room Audio / Video category. With regards to the ‘Kaleidescape of New Media Art’ comment, Tim is referring to Barco’s partnership with NIIO, which provide a comprehensive cloud-based platform for artists, galleries, collection owners and curators to store, manage and securely distribute multi-format moving images and digital artworks,Īdded to that, Barco Residential’s innovative short throw application, integrated in a custom-designed piece of furniture, a lot of integrators interested during ISE.

If we could do this on a larger scale, this could change the industry!” Barco Residential is uniquely positioned for this and there is an amazing potential for the industry here to get in front of these types of target clients, by making integrators more art-savvy. For lack of a better comparison, it’s almost like creating the high end Kaleidescape of New Media Art with custom designed digital canvases freed from aspect ratio and size limitations. As an industry, we are only scratching the surface with custom installations in high-end homes, which can go far beyond home theatre. “This is why we created the dedicated New Media Art wall in the VIP lounge, featuring two dedicated new media art custom digital canvases using different display technologies including direct LED. “This has been getting lots of attention, also from high end home builders, as well as the architecture and art markets,” Barco’s Tim Sinnaeve told CE Pro Europe. Not only was it used to show a range of different sources that could be manipulated through an intuitive user interface for a variety of entertainment or even home office applications, but at times it also reverted to being one large digital canvas displaying original new media art, a new application Barco Residential is bringing to the market with partner, NIIO. Not stopping there, Barco’s ‘Ultimate Media Solution’ featuring a large custom-designed high-resolution rear-projection screen powered by a single ultra short throw 4K Loki certainly had attendees talking. The home theatre area boasted Barco’s new Loki 4K laser projector, an in-wall sound system by Steinway Lyngdorf and a hand-crafted projection screen by DT Screens, complete with Ineva Design luxury home cinema seating. Designed for Ambient Light Rejection - Rejects 85% of Ambient Light.CEDIA certainly made the most of the residential aspect of ISE, offering an extensive education programme of more than 30 training sessions over the four days, as well as giving members the chance to take CEDIA’s Electronic Systems Technician (ESC-T) and Designer (ESC-D) and Networking Specialist (ESC-N) Certification examinations.Īlthough it didn’t have a booth on the show floor, this didn’t stop Barco Residential from being a must-visit manufacturer at the show – its impressive home theatre area and VIP lounge with partners Genesis and Steinway Lyngdorf was constantly crammed with visitors.Not only does this create a more immersive dark room experience, but eliminates the need for blacking out these adjacent walls. The same optical filters that reject ambient light from above, below and on the sides of Black Diamond also function to eliminate reflected light from spilling back onto the walls, ceiling, and floor.

Results like that are only possible thanks to 9 layers of optical filters which reject 85% of ambient light in the room.


We solved this problem in 2008 when we released Black Diamond, the first (and still the only) optical screen that rejects light from above, below, and on both sides.Īs published by S&V magazine, Black Diamond measured a 900% increase in contrast over standard matte white or gray screens. Not everyone wants to retreat to a darkened room to enjoy watching the game, or playing games with friends and family.
