BARCO has unveiled a significant evolution of its QDX projection platform with the introduction of three new RGB light-source models — the QDX-N4K25 RGB, QDX-N4K35 RGB and QDX-N4K45 RGB — completing the family and broadening its appeal for themed entertainment, large-scale installations and other high-profile visual experiences. This expansion marks the moment the QDX platform becomes a fully rounded solution that offers both laser phosphor and native RGB options, delivering unrivalled colour performance, resolution and flexibility for creators and integrators across the immersive visualization landscape.

Since its debut at ISE 2024, the three-chip QDX platform has been positioned as a future-ready projection solution where visual performance directly supports storytelling value. The addition of the RGB models reinforces that trajectory with enhanced colour performance that meets the demands of the most ambitious projects. Covering the Rec.2020 colour gamut, the QDX RGB series enables designers to reproduce the richest tones and most subtle gradients as originally intended, expanding creative freedom without compromise.

All three RGB projectors share Barco’s native 4K resolution, powered by 0.98″ DMD three-chip DLP technology and advanced Pulse electronics, ensuring not only precise imaging but also support for high bandwidth input formats that include 8K@60Hz and 4K@240Hz for fluid motion and refined detail. Compatibility with existing TLD+ lenses and Barco’s comprehensive smart peripherals ecosystem — including rental frames, flight cases, cloud-based Insights Management Suite and control software — makes integration and workflow management seamless for rental houses and integrators alike.

The QDX-N4K25 RGB delivers up to 25,000 lumens, offering vibrant, high-brightness imaging that’s ideal for mid-sized installs and immersive attractions where control and compactness are priorities.

Stepping up, the QDX-N4K35 RGB boosts output to 34,000 lumens, striking a balance of robust brightness and refined colour fidelity suited for larger venues and shows that demand a rich visual palette and powerful presence.

At the top end, the QDX-N4K45 RGB delivers 38,000 lumens, providing flagship-level output and deep Rec.2020 coverage for the most demanding environments. Built for reliability with modular design, advanced protective coatings and optimised air filtration, it ensures stable performance and long life even under arduous conditions.

All models also benefit from Barco’s DuraOptix optical design, which optimises the light path for consistent image quality over extended use — a key advantage for projects that need daily, high-intensity operation with minimal downtime. Exceptional lens shift ranges, including up to 150 percent vertical shift on ultra-short throw lenses, further expand creative placement options within complex architectural spaces, giving designers greater freedom in how and where visuals are presented.

With these three new RGB models completing the QDX lineup, Barco offers a complete projection toolkit that combines colour performance, resolution versatility and installation freedom, supporting a wide spectrum of experiences from immersive rides and themed attractions to large-scale signature shows and high-impact architectural installations.
