HG Entertainment (China) deploys Barco’s award winning, high performance Laser Cinema projectors.

Barco, digital cinema's global market share leader, is pleased to announce that Hengdian Group Entertainment (HG Entertainment) has ordered three of its "flagship" high brightness DP4K-60L laser projectors.
The DP4K-60L is the world's most compact 60,000 lumen laser illuminated projector. It is optimized for premium large format (PLF) cinemas and supports all industry 3D systems. In addition, the DP4K-60L is the only cinema projector in the world capable of Barco Laser3D – a single projector 6 primary "color 3D".

With more than a hundred cinemas in large cities across the nation, HG Entertainment is among the top ten largest and fastest growing cinema chains in China. This innovative investment is strengthening HG's leadership position beyond the competition and will consistently deliver a premium cinema experience. Following its debut this year at CinemaCon, Barco's DP4K-60L has quickly become the laser cinema market share leader in China and around the world.

Global share leader Barco provides HG with industry firsts

The DP4K-60L is Barco's first commercial laser-illuminated projector. Equipped with Barco Alchemy, the industry's first and only integrated cinema media processor (ICMP), this ultra-high brightness cinema projector is the world's first and only laser solution to support all major industry 3D systems, and the first projector capable of showing 4K Cinema content at 60fps and 3D movies in full 4K resolution, fully complying with the latest DCI 1.2 requirements.


Thanks to its integrated solid-state light source, it delivers consistently higher brightness, wider color gamut, and higher contrast in both 2D and 3D formats. Due to optimum laser selection, the DP4K-60L is also the most energy efficient high brightness cinema projector on the market, enabling an unparalleled movie-going experience while forever freeing HG from the cost and bother of lamp replacement.
