							Exceptional
Imaging
Capabilities
Ultra-high Brightness
Light Source
The BARCO6500 Series projectors
are equipped with a powerful
new 600 Watt lamp.  Thanks to
this new efficient lamp design
and the ultimate matching of all
optical components in the
projector design, the units
produce a dazzling light output
up to 5,500 lumens.
High Performance LCD Panels
The BARCO6500 Series projectors
feature three proprietary 1.8
diagonal polysilicon LCD panels.
The B
ARCOREALITY6500 uses panels
with Micro Lens Arrays (MLA) to
achieve a very high light
transmission efficiency and
increased light output.
Razor Sharp in Every Corner
State-of-the-art optics ensure the
highest resolution with
unsurpassed clarity of the entire
image.
Perfect Geometry
Precision projection lenses 
provide superior image quality
with an absolute minimum of
geometric distortion. 
						

							TCRPlusProcessingBARCO’s powerful True Color
Reproduction processing
enhances the quality of
conventional video sources
resulting in vibrant images with
remarkable color depth,
sharpness and clarity:
• motion adaptive noise
reduction without introducing
motion artifacts
• amazingly sharp video images
even from conventional video
sources
• remarkable clarity of even the
most minute picture details
• graded and precisely controlled
color contrast of each pixel
• adjustable saturation and
contrast
• elimination of interlace jitter
for both still and moving
images 
Patented Pixel Map ProcessorWhen the resolution of a data
image doesn’t match the native
resolution of the LCD panel, the
image needs to be remapped.
BARCO’s patented Pixel Map
Processor recalculates every pixel
with state-of-the-art digital signal
processing techniques, resulting
in optimal picture quality, crisp
graphics with smooth and
exceptionally readable characters.
This processor provides full
compatibility with a wide range
of computer data and graphics
standards.

							The BARCO6500 Series projectors feature
an impressive array of input
connections: Video, S-Video, RGB, VGA
as well as optional SDI and FireWire
TM.
Located on the projector’s front panel,
these enable more esthetic cable
routing, especially in fixed installations.
These projectors display a very wide
range of input signals: from DVD sources
to SDI Digital Video, and from the latest
HDTV sources to all of today’s
popular RGB computer formats.  
The projector automatically
recognizes all sources
and offers intelligent
user-adjustable priority
switching.SDIIn order
to easily
connect to
the latest
generation of
digital video and RGB
sources, the B
ARCO6500
Series projectors can be
equipped with an optional
Serial Digital Input.  An active
loop-through is provided for
monitoring or for double and
triple stacking applications.    
IEEE 1394 FireWireTM
First in its class, BARCO now
offers the optional IEEE 1394
FireWire
TMinput.  This high-speed
digital interface allows the
interconnection of a wide range
of computers, peripherals and
consumer electronics products
(PCs, printers, camcorders, TVs,
VCRs, and digital cameras)
without image degradation.

Administrator
Using the optional Ethernet 10-base T
interface, the B
ARCO6500 Series projectors can be
connected to an Internet line as well as a
LAN/WAN.  Consequently, the projector becomes
an IP addressable device and allows the user to
access and manage all projectors in various
locations from one central point or even remotely,
by connecting to the corporate network.  The user
simply has to access via a password protected
webpage, which is put on the network by the
hardware inside the projector. Due to the
diagnostics and error monitoring and reporting,
quality and speed of service can be improved.  This
networking feature results in a lower total cost of
ownership and facilitates the integration of the
projection device in the company.

Remote Control and
Monitoring of the Projectors
From any networked location,
the administrator/user can
control or monitor multiple
functions of the projectors within
a web browser environment:
• projector on/standby
• source selection
• brightness, contrast, sharpness
• size, aspect ratio, keystone
correction
• audio settings
• … as well as all other functions
adjustable through the
standard remote control
On-line diagnostics
Status information (the lamp life,
the total runtime of the projector,
the software version, ...) as well
as warnings on errors in specific
ICs and power supplies result in
an improved and faster service.
The user/administrator is
informed via the Internet or
through a mail service.  
This feature can be programmed
to automatically send
information to any designated
user/administrator.
BARCO`s -Manager software
was specially developed to allow the
user/administrator to manage all
projectors in various locations from
one central point.

screen 
on-axis
Projection from any
Position or Distance
The unique optical design
of the lenses allows the
projector to be installed
up to 120 % off-axis
without losing any
brightness or resolution.
Motorized lens shift
greatly simplifies on-site
adjustment (up to 112 %
horizontally and 120 %
vertically). Putting the
projector off-axis means every
single person in the audience
can have a clear and undisturbed
view of the screen.
A Broad Range of LensesThe BARCO6500 Series projectors
can be equipped with a wide
range of easy-to-replace fixed
focal and zoom lenses ranging
between 0.8 and 7 times the
screen width, allowing projection
from practically any angle and
throw distance.  Using the
motorized zoom, focus and lens
shift feature, the
projectors can be
easily installed in
almost any
configuration.

							Low Acoustic Noise LevelThe BARCO6500 projectors
generate the absolute minimum
noise level, reducing unwanted
audience distraction – a common
complaint with conventional
projectors.  The noise level was
kept lower than 39 dB(A) - a
remarkable achievement for
projectors with a light output
exeeding 4000 or even 5000
lumens.
Silent and Long-Life
Operation
Extended Lifetime These projectors feature a rugged
die-cast aluminum cabinet,
making it extremely solid and
durable.
Internal and external diagnostics
devices preserve the highest
reliability and performance.
Equipped with the optional
networking capability, the
projector can be controlled via
the web, allowing an even better
and quicker diagnosis.Software can be easily upgraded
via the RS232 port (standard
projector) or through the
company’s network (network-
enabled projection device).

Vast Array of AccessoriesA vast array of accessories, such
as the ceiling mount,
multifunctional frame, soft case,
rugged flight case …  offers a
variety of transport and set-up
possibilities.
The AUTOIMAGEfeature allows the
projector to automatically optimize
all display settings for the incoming
source signal.
Easy StackingFor higher light output and
redundancy, two or three units
can be stacked with or without
frames.  This stacking is further
facilitated by means of the unit’s
motorized lens shift.
Easy-to-use Remote ControlsThe backlit infrared remote
control with 5 Quick Access Keys
provides instant access to set-up
functions such as: motorized
zoom and focus, lens shift,
contrast and brightness, as well
as other parameters.
A special executive remote
control allows the speaker to
navigate through the
presentation or to control the
operating system of the
computer by using the built-in
mouse control.  The integrated
laser pointer can be used to
direct the attention of the
audience to a certain part of the
screen.
