Excellent blending at
high brightness levels

Extra use of the white segment in
the DLP™ color wheel improves
brightness but introduces white
peaking in the overlap zones,
making blends visible.

Barco’s unique gamma compensation
maintains excellent blending at high
brightness levels. Optical Soft-Edge
Blending is not influenced by white
peaking.

Barco’s proprietary OSEM optical blending

filters

in the lightpath, 

limiting the black

level in the overlap zone

to the separate

images, resulting in seamless images with

invisible blends, even in night scenes.

Barco’s flexible ESEM technology adjusts

edge blending to a uniform black level. 

In multi-channel setups, the non-zero black
level of light valve projectors normally
leads to brighter overlap zones, especially
visible in night scenes.

Multi-channel visualization: a challenge in

need of a dedicated display solution.
