AUSTIN, TX — Leveraging the experience that its High End Systems subsidiary has accrued with optical and media server systems, Barco has launched MMS-100 and MMS-200 High Definition digital mirror systems for the company’s HDX, HDF and HDQ projectors.
More details from Barco (www.barco.com):
Using a custom front surface, optically flat mirror, and leveraging High End Systems’ optical and media server expertise, the MMS range delivers sharp, bright and incredibly detailed High Definition images anywhere the designer wants, when combined with any of Barco’s high brightness large venue projectors, including the HDQ which outputs a staggering 40,000 lumens!
No longer are bulky, unwieldy and very heavy yokes required to achieve the freedom to position the image in multiple locations. No longer will expensive, one off custom rigging frames be required. The MMS system allows for the projector to be rigged in its natural position, with the mirror then doing all the work, remotely!
The MMS range is controlled over DMX or Art-Net and in the very near future will link up with Barco’s projector toolset allowing for quick and simple setup in many applications. The projectionist will be able to position and store presets directly within the Barco suite of software.
There are two versions the MMS-100 including an Axon HD media server onboard and the MMS-200 being only the mirror.
“We decided on two versions as it is important to offer the flexibility our customers require ” says Chris Ferrante, Director of Product Management, “While the MMS-100 will offer reduced cabling infrastructure and high powered GPU based control of the image in real time, this is not always required. ” Bill Morris, VP of Sales for the Venues and Hospitality division at Barco finishes off “The ability to remotely position, with incredible accuracy, the image projected by the brightest projectors in the world is an incredible step forward. From installations to rental and staging this product range will reduce setup time, increase flexibility and ultimately allow our customers total creative freedom ”
