Guinness World Record has recognized the Barco DP2K-32B as the brightest digital projector on the planet. With a measured brightness of more than 43.000 lumens in calibration mode, The Barco DP2K-32B is capable of perfectly projecting 3D content, even on the largest screens offering a new visual experience. The test for the record was carried out successfully at the Barco facilities in Kuurne (Belgium) ayer, 1 December 2010 at 14:00 local time. Witnessed and verified by the technician deployed by the Guinness Book, Kaoru Ishikawa, a Barco DP2K-32B digital cinema projector achieved a brightness of exactly 43.000 lumens after color correction to match the DCI color spectrum, measured at the center of a screen 4 m2 at a distance of 5 projector meters. Wim Buyens, vice president of Barco, commented after obtaining this record that “The brightness of a projector is a crucial element in providing viewers with a captivating and immersive movie experience.. This is especially true for 3D movies., that require a large amount of shine. This makes it very difficult to efficiently project 3D content onto larger screens., where only ultra-bright projectors can guarantee an optimal viewing experience. In this sense, This world record is more than just a technological achievement: It is a response to one of the biggest challenges facing 3D digital cinema”. The model used for the record attempt was an off-the-shelf boat DP2K-32B, equipped with a standard lamp 7 kW Ushio. To ensure that gloss levels do not decrease over the years, They have a completely sealed light generator to prevent dust from dirtying it.
