PROJECTORS

HE SERIES ONE RANGE of projectors manufactured by Barco between 2000 and 2010 saw thousands of these workhorse digital units enter the field. The company’s recent announcement

that, as of September, it will no longer
support these earliest digital projectors has led to some concerns in the cinema industry. Many who still own Series One projectors believe that they will be obliged to purchase a new Series 2 or Series 3 projectors, but this really isn’t the case — ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’! At Sound Associates, we sold our very first Series One projectors in early 2007 and our last ones were sold in 2010 www.cinematech.today
