these three-chip DLP projectors reproduce rich colors, presenting audiences with crisp 
and vivid images on every occasion. What’s more, the simple user interface allows 
you to set up the projector in no time. Finally, the HDX offers easy control through 
smartphones and tablet computers.

							The HDX projector is the product of 
Barco’s extensive experience in a 
number of markets.
From the theater to the stage
3D has revolutionized and is still rocking 
cinemas worldwide. As a global leader 
in that sector, Barco has perfected 3D 
projection for three decades, and now 
brings this expertise to your event.
Experience in events
Successive hits in the events market 
with the SLM and FLM series have 
contributed considerably to the design 
of the HDX projector. Barco conceived 
each part of the unit with the best 
possible event in mind. Thanks to the 
top or bottom frame the HDX can easily 
be handled and rigged.
Premium image processing
The HDX shares image processing 
and scaling technology with Barco’s 
benchmark ImagePRO hardware. This 
results in a quick adaptation to any 
connected source. It also offers extreme 
scaling capabilities such as zoom in, 
zoom out and shift.
Designed for 
leadershipStay connected
Barco’s HDX is compatible with a host of flexible control options. As it has been 
designed for wireless control, you can even operate your projector via your 
smartphone or tablet computer.
EASY SERVICE
Quick preview
The HDX’s built-in color LCD screen 
provides you with all the information you need on your projector’s connected 
sources, status, power, 
temperatures and lamp 
runtime. The LCD screen 
also allows you to preview 
your connected sources.
3G-compatibility
The HDX has a native 3G HDSDI/SDI 
input, which makes it compatible with 
progressive sources over a single BNC 
cable. This also means that the HDX 
allows for digital inputs that don’t come 
through fragile DVI fiber cables.
Wireless control
Barco’s HDX platform is designed for 
wireless control. Whether from one 
central PC or with a smartphone or 
tablet computer, you remain connected 
to the HDX at all times.          
						

							Trust in what  
you use and know
Simple setup and maintenance
Progress in design means not just innovation, but also keeping the proven 
advantages of earlier solutions.
Familiar interface
Not only are the lenses interchangeable, 
the HDX also features the same easy 
interface of its cousins, so you don’t 
need to learn any new interfaces. Of 
course, the HDX is also compatible with 
Barco’s free Projector Toolset software.
The key to a projector’s successful performance is already apparent in its design. 
For example, the HDX-W12 is the world’s first projector to come with a xenon 
lamp that offers a 2,500 hour lifetime, making it an interesting option for fixed 
installations as well as events. 
Efficient power management
When you switch the HDX into 
pause mode, its power consumption 
immediately drops by 40%. Even when 
it’s fully active, the HDX still consumes 
15% less energy than competing 
solutions.
Who else is 
coming to your 
event?
Next to the HDX projectors, Barco 
offers a comprehensive range of 
high-resolution projectors designed 
to turn any event or venue into a 
must-see experience.
• CLM range: Bright, compact 
projection for the most attractive 
price
• RLM range: The most affordable 
high-resolution three-chip DLP 
projector range
• FLM range: The benchmark of 
high-brightness three-chip DLP 
projection
• XLM range: The brightest event 
projectors around
Reuse your lenses
If you already own a Barco SLM or FLM 
series projector, you can simply reuse or 
interchange these lenses and click them 
into the HDX projector. This saves you 
from making unnecessary expenses.
Only five building blocks
Barco designed the HDX with efficiency 
and quick setup in mind. It features just 
five building blocks that can be removed 
and replaced quickly, so that time spent 
servicing the projector is kept to a bare 
minimum. 
25% more compact
The HDX’s compact and functional 
design never takes up more space than 
strictly necessary. In addition, it can 
be easily boxed, shipped and fits into 
standard flight cases.
