The Barco Alchemy DP2K-20C is a compact and fully integrated digital cinema projector for theaters with screens up to 20m (65ft) wide, based on Texas Instruments' 0.98” DLP Cinema® chip. It ensures a first-class movie experience with consistent picture brightness, rich contrast and vibrant colors. By merging the projector and media server functionalities into one projector module, the DP2K-20C Barco Alchemy projector is a full-fledged, DCI-compliant projector and media-server solution with on-board storage. Reducing the required hardware, it increases simplicity and reliability. The smart projector even detects potential operational errors and warns users in case of mishaps. Great in TMS environments, it operates stand-alone in single-screen applications. Thanks to the embedded Barco Web Commander user interface, shows can be created and scheduled remotely.
Low cost of ownership
Geared with the integrated Barco Alchemy technology that drives operational and maintenance costs down, the DP2K-20C offers superior image processing, pristine images and ultimate reliability at a low TCO.
Easy maintenance and operation
The DP2K-20C comes with the intuitive ‘Barco Web Commander’ user interface for easy operation. It detects potential operational errors and warns users if, for instance, a scheduled show is missing assets or KDMs. It also has a modular architecture for simple serviceability and higher uptime.
The DP2K-20C projector is also available in a package with a third-party media server and it can be ordered without the Barco Alchemy module as well.
