Barco Introduces The New Heimdall Projection Platform And The Addition Of The NT Series DV-LED Walls To The Residential Line At CEDIA 2024

September 5, 2024

Press Release

Barco Residential, a leader in high-end home theater projectors and Direct View LED, is ready to wow attendees at CEDIA 2024 (Booth 1328) with a display that includes the brand new Heimdall+ projector, the high value NT series of DV-LED walls, and a flagship 208” TruePix 5K Cinemascope LED wall.

Heimdall is the son of Odin, the Norse god who illuminates the world.  Heimdall & Heimdall+ will illuminate fine residential cinemas around the world, leveraging technologies, craftsmanship and experience that have made Barco the industry leader in commercial cinema and the simulation market.

Just as Heimdall meticulously oversees the realms, ensuring that everything is in perfect order, the Heimdall projector line will excel in delivering stunning visuals that captivate any audience.

Sharing advanced technologies from family members Bragi & Njord, Heimdall enhances your cinematic journey, bringing every detail to life with unparalleled vibrancy.

A home cinema is a valued family focal point.  The drama of a great movie, or the excitement of live sports and console gaming are unforgettable experiences.  And each room is unique in size and design.  Heimdall & Heimdall+ are the first of many models in the Heimdall series with options to perfectly fit a wide range of premium home cinemas.  You will be able to choose 16x9 or Cinemascope, with a choice of brightness levels.

The Heimdall+ will be displayed at CEDIA 2024 offering 6,000 lumens—enough brightness to illuminate even large screens for the most home cinema excitement! Also available is a 4,000 lumen Heimdall.

True luxury is also simplicity.  Cinemascope versions will feature Barco Residential’s unique auto aspect detection.  Every movie is displayed at the perfect height and perfect aspect ratio automatically with virtually no user intervention required.

“We continue our quest to give you the highest level of performance at a wide variety of budgets and screen sizes.? The Heimdall and Heimdall+ are the first models in this new series, with more to come”  
 
Daniel Nilsson, Global Director for Barco Residential

Other standout Heimdall/Heimdall+ features include:

• The latest Native 4K DLP® chipset from Texas Instruments.

• RGB Laser Light Engine for 100% of BT2020 color gamut.  No color filter needed.  Get the best color reproduction combined with full brightness!  

• HDMITM 2.1 with HDCP 2.3:  This ensures compatibility with the latest high resolution/high frame rate sources for the ultimate gaming experience. 

Nine different lenses are available, from ultra short throw to extreme long throw.  This allows the Heimdall to be installed in virtually any room, and in virtually any location.

Audio for this demo will be provided by TPI and Storm Audio with a Stewart Filmscreen.

Heimdall and Heimdall+ will be available in Spring 2025.
