WHY IT EXISTS
At 170 kg and roughly 3.9 kW maximum power consumption, this is an architectural system. Projection room, extraction, power, lens and service access are fundamental parts of the design.
Nerthus is Barco Residential’s flagship large-format Cinema at Home platform: a 32,000-lumen, native-4K, three-chip RGB-laser projector intended for exceptional private theaters.
At this level, the projector is one component of a complete optical system: screen, lens, throw, room surfaces, processing, cooling and calibration all matter.
Our role is to interpret the specification in the context of the room rather than treat a single headline number as the answer.
IDEAL APPLICATION
Where this projector makes sense.
Projection booths with engineered extraction
Specified against screen size, room reflectivity, throw and target luminance.
Projects needing 100% Rec.2020 capability
Specified against screen size, room reflectivity, throw and target luminance.
PROJECTION OPTICS
The lens determines what is physically possible.
Barco lists Very High Contrast B lenses from approximately 1.13–3.40:1. For Nerthus, lens selection is inseparable from booth geometry, screen width, lens shift and service clearances.
