Barco G50-W8/W - 8000 Lumen WUXGA 1-Chip DLP Laser Phosphor Projector with Remote Control in White Finish

The Barco G50-W8 is an affordable, compact, and powerful single-chip DLP laser phosphor projector designed for a variety of applications including boardrooms, museums, exhibitions, experience centers, and entry-level simulation environments. It is part of Barco's G50 series, renowned for offering excellent price-performance ratios, compact size, and energy efficiency. As one of the smallest and most efficient projectors in Barco's offering, the G50-W8 ensures high-quality content visualization in a sleek, easy-to-integrate package.

With a brightness of 8,000 lumens and a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) native resolution, the G50-W8 produces vibrant, crisp, and detailed images, making it ideal for professional environments. Its laser phosphor light source delivers superior color accuracy and image uniformity, while the contrast ratio of 6,000:1 dynamic and 750,000:1 extreme black levels contribute to excellent image depth, ensuring that both bright and dark scenes appear with exceptional clarity. Additionally, the projector's color space is designed to meet Rec. 709 standards, ensuring lifelike colors in all projected content.

Designed for flexible installation, the G50-W8 is compatible with Barco's extensive range of G-series lenses. Its motorized zoom, focus, and lens shift capabilities, along with keystone correction, allow for precise and easy setup, regardless of the projection environment. The lens shift functionality offers up to 100% vertical and 30% horizontal adjustment, providing ample flexibility to position the projector in almost any location. Whether mounted on the ceiling or placed on the floor, the G50-W8 supports 360° rotation, ensuring that content can be displayed from any angle.

The G50-W8 is also equipped with Barco's advanced Projector Toolset software, enabling users to manage, monitor, and diagnose projectors remotely, increasing operational uptime and reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, the Insights Management Suite subscription enables remote management and monitoring, offering a cloud-based IoT platform for easier control and diagnostics. For 3D content, the G50-W8 supports active stereoscopic 3D, making it a great choice for immersive applications such as interactive exhibits and experience centers.

Designed for continuous use, the G50-W8 operates at low noise levels (34-38 dB(A)), making it suitable for environments where minimal sound disruption is essential, such as galleries, museums, and theaters. With a power consumption of just 500W at 110V or 490W at 220V, the G50-W8 is an energy-efficient option that minimizes operating costs while providing bright and detailed projections. Additionally, its compact size (486 x 376 x 181.2 mm) and relatively lightweight (28.66 lbs) make it easy to install and transport, whether for permanent or temporary installations.
