High Lumen Laser Projector Wars at InfoComm

In something of a rematch of the ground-breaking session at the NAB Cinema Summit in April, “Laser Illuminated Projectors: What’s New and When Will They Arrive?”, Monday’s Display Summit at InfoComm saw a special High Lumen Laser projection session, the “Digital Cinema Laser Battle” with the same companies squaring off– and with the same implications for all large venue projection not just cinema. But in slight shifting of chairs this time, the moderator was none other than digital cinema guru Michael Kargosian (perennially one of the key architects of the NAB Cinema Summit), with the NAB session’s moderator Bill Beck now wearing the Barco hat, while Christie’s Don Shaw and NEC’s Richard McPherson reprised their NAB shoot-out roles. But despite the slightly musical chairs– mainly the result of Bill Beck’s having just joined Barco literally days before the start of today’s Summit– the weapons brought to the game this time are the same– the most interesting new weapons in the video projection wars to appear on the scene in years– and deserving of a full airing for this InfoComm audience.
