Chromatically matched and highly-
optimized optical engines guarantee
color uniformity across channels.

Barco’s DynaColor™ algorithm is an
advanced tool for perfect color matching
across all system channels. It allows to
digitally set the primary and secondary

Geometry Distortion

WARP 6™ uses Barco’s proprietary 
bi-cubic interpolation. The internal 16-bit
upscaling preserves the finest details in
the images, without introducing any
frame delays or resampling artefacts.
Thanks to the built-in WARP 6™
electronics, the SIM 5R can be used in a
wide variety of curved-screen
applications, ranging from
straightforward cylindrical displays to the
most severe distortions.

color coordinates for all projectors.
These color coordinates are compared in
order to find the common color gamut. 
Different DynaColor settings can be
stored in a single projector for advanced
use such as combined mono and stereo
projection.
Dynacolor wipes out color differences, to
let you see the sky as it is meant to be,
wherever you turn your head.
