Atlanta, GA USA, 3 December 2019 – Barco, a global leader in visualization technology, is proud to announce that CAE has selected the FL40-4K projector to power the next-generation of projection devices for its CAE 7000 XR Series full-flight simulators for civil aviation. This selection further fosters the collaboration between the two leaders and allows CAE to benefit from the many advantages of the FL40-4K. This projector, representing the state-of-the-art in single chip DLP projection, uses the latest in solid-state LED illumination and is driven by the powerful Barco Pulse electronics and image processing package.
