Single Step Processing SSP™
Pulse is a HW and SW based platform that simplifies and allows the signal to go from the source to screen much faster and more efficiently. We use an advanced image processing technique to display the image on the screen without any artifacts and with close to zero latency, all made possible by what we call Single Step Processing (SSP™)
State-of-the-art electronics
All new “Pulse” electronics have been designed to process 4K UHD with HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 and the optical engine is using the very latest 0.9-inch DMD DLP chipset, delivering 5,120 x 2,160 pixels on screen. Hodr CS also features HDR, motorised lenses and featuring Barco’s unique RealColor processing, Hodr CS enables simple and accurate calibration to any desired white point or greyscale.
Cinemascope
The Hodr Cinemascope has a unique automatic aspect ratio detection function. It will look for cinemascope content and automatically scale the image to fit the 5,120 x 2,160 resolution and revert back to 16:9 (3,840 x 2,160) if you have content in that format. It will also change aspect ratio when scope format movie has a menu outside the active picture frame. You can also switch manually between the different formats.
Building Blocks
Hodr CS offers 4K UHD resolution for superb image quality. Thanks to its modular design Hodr CS is easy to service.
Laser light source
Outstanding image quality also requires an exceptional light source which is why we have equipped Hodr CS with a brand new laser engine. Alongside significantly improved image uniformity (95%) the unit is also equipped with custom selected lasers to deliver a DCI/P3 color gamut. Lasers offer longer lifetime than traditional projector lamps, are not as fragile and offer near instant on/off.
PULSE Software Features
- Cinemascope
- Barco Residential has a unique way to detect and manage aspect ratios within our cinemascope projectors called Cropping. Pairing with a supported control system, results in minimal user interaction when selecting aspect ratios for projector and screen.
- Prospector
- Barco’s web interface: Prospector, provides quick and simple configuration and calibration of Pulse projectors, along with monitoring and diagnostic tools.
- Pulse prospector is available in all the Pulse based products.
- Illumination
- A unique blue laser phosphor light engine developed by Barco.
- Blue lasers are selected based on their high density and power efficiency.
- Warp & Blend
- Warping is the process of digitally manipulating an image to compensate for alignment distortions. Blending allows multiple projectors to be seamlessly combined to create unique digital canvas solutions.
- DynaBlack
- DynaBlack is Barco’s dynamic contrast enhancement feature, analyzing each frame on the fly and adjusting contrast dynamically for dark and bright scenes accordingly.
- RealColor
- RealColor is Barco's proprietary colour management system, enabling simple and accurate calibration to your desired colour gamut or white point.
