Barco Bragi CinemaScope Projector

Barco Bragi CinemaScope Projector

Bragi Cinemascope takes its name from a historical ninth-century poet. His poems were so outstandingly artful and moving that subsequent generations imagined that, upon his death, Odin had appointed him the court poet of Valhalla. Bragi is also Balder’s brother and inherited as such Balder’s design language including, optical core and lenses. Bragi has the same PULSE electronic and SW platform powered by a revolutionary new LED engine

Professional grade optics

By basing Bragi Cinemascope's optical engine on its bigger brother Balder Cinemascope's architecture, incorporating custom designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low dispersion glass lenses, image quality is in a class of its own.

Topping that, Bragi’s chassis and core are built from aluminium and magnesium, which offer exceptional robustness, resulting in the best picture quality ever shown at this level.

State of the art electronics 

Thanks to Barco's unique single step processing technology (SSPTM), Pulse electronics are designed to process 4K UHD, HDMI 2.0a, HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 signals with extremely low latency.  

Bragi CinemaScope uses the very latest 0.9" DMD DLP chipset, to display flawless 5K UHD (5,120 × 2,160 px), 2.37:1 aspect ratio images on screen.

CinemaScope

Barco's unique aspect ratio detection system, automatically crops and scales content to fit the appropriate screen area, ranging from 1.78:1 to 2.39:1.  

Manual cropping is also available for custom configurations such as cinemascope subtitle support, where only the top black bar (letterboxing) is removed, preserving the subtitles at the foot of the image.

Colours

Combining HLD LED illumination with regular LED colours which appear more saturated, the human eye is tricked to interpret this as richer, brighter colours than they are physically measured. Bragi also includes a motorized DCI/P3 filter for improved HDR colour accuracy. 

Additionally, Barco’s RealColor processing enables simple and accurate calibration to your desired colour gamut or white point.

Features

Illumination Bragi uses a unique HLD RGB LED engine developed by Barco. This technology emits four times the light of regular LED technology.

Cinemascope Barco Residential has a unique way to detect and manage aspect ratios within Barco's cinemascope projectors called Cropping. Pairing with a supported control system, results in minimal user interaction when selecting aspect ratios for projector and screen.

Prospector Barco’s web interface: Prospector, provides quick and simple configuration and calibration of Pulse projectors, along with monitoring and diagnostic tools.

Warp & Blend Warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for alignment distortions. Blending allows multiple projectors to be seamlessly combined to create unique digital canvas solutions.

RealColor RealColor is Barco's proprietary colour management system, enabling simple and accurate calibration to your desired colour gamut or white point.

Latency Low latency is desirable to achieve that smoother gameplay and user experience we all want, without input lag. If latency is >30ms, your gaming experience will be compromised, Barco’s latency is <20ms (including all image processing).
