Bragi produces a stunning, wide and extremely consistent colour gamut, and a rich, vibrant colour rendition. It produces a bright image - up to 2600 lumens. Bragi has low noise, with up to 50,000 hour life-expectancy, nine lens options and close-to-unlimited installation flexibility. It delivers by far the best in image quality for smaller, dedicated home cinema rooms we've ever seen, built, or experienced before. In short, it has the best picture quality ever shown at this level.
Bragi is not just another projector. Bragi uses a new optical engine, which Barco Residential created by taking the best from previous models and combining it with new technology to produce something that is better than any of its predecessors. Inside the optical engine, custom-designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low-dispersion glass lenses are used. Combine that with nine lens options and it provides image-quality that is in a class of its own.
The optical engine is not the only aspect of the Bragi that is redesigned. The light source is brand new as well - and this time it’s not laser. The light source uses the latest in HLD and LED illumination technology.
HLD LED is unique in that it works around the ‘law of etendue’ (a property of light in an optical system which characterises how 'spread out' the light is in area and angle) to deliver a superb colour experience and incredible brightness, while enabling new levels of resolution. HLD LED combined with regular LED colours are more saturated, and our eyes are tricked to interpret this as richer and brighter colours than they physically measure. Bragi also has a motorized DCI/P3 filter for improved HDR performance, meaning that the projector will support both SDR and HDR viewing.
The Bragi is built on the proprietary Barco Pulse software platform. The powerful and flexible architecture of Barco Pulse allows for easy installation, no scaling artefacts and full freedom in architectural integration. 'Pulse' electronics have been designed to process 4K with HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 and the optical engine utilises the very latest 0,9-inch DMD DLP chipset, delivering 5120 x 2,160 pixels on screen. Bragi also features HDR, motorised lenses and auto aspect-detection between 16:9 and CinemaScope. Featuring Barco’s unique RealColor processing, Bragi enables simple and accurate calibration to any desired white point or greyscale.
Pulse offers a unique web interface called Prospector, which provides a lot more than a basic user interface. It provides a full overview of all the features found within the projector. It supports monitor options as well as setup options. A full installation of the projector can be achieved from any computer, tablet or phone with touch control and Wi-Fi access. Prospector uses a modern, true bidirectional communication protocol called JSON-RPC 2.0.
