Large private cinemas
Up to 9,000 ANSI lm provides the light budget for large image areas, lower-gain acoustically transparent materials and more ambitious luminance targets.

Njord Cinemascope
Njord Cinemascope combines the Njord high-output three-chip DLP platform with a native 2.37:1, 5120 × 2160 imaging engine, making it especially interesting for constant-height CinemaScope rooms.

WHY IT EXISTS
A high-output Barco platform built around CinemaScope from the imaging device outward.
Njord Cinemascope retains the scale, output and TLD+ installation flexibility of Njord, but its 5120 × 2160 imaging engine is proportioned around a 2.37:1 frame rather than conventional 16:9.
That makes it especially compelling for constant-height cinemas where scope presentation is the architectural priority and the system should not depend on an external anamorphic lens to create a native wide image.
IDEAL APPLICATION
Where this projector makes sense.
Architecturally difficult throws
The TLD+ ecosystem spans ultra-short to very long throw options, dramatically expanding possible projector positions.
Projection-room installations
At roughly cinema-projector scale, heat, airflow, electrical supply, service clearances and noise isolation deserve proper design.
PROJECTION OPTICS
This is where Barco’s lens ecosystem becomes a major reason to choose the platform.
Njord supports an exceptionally broad TLD+ family, from approximately 0.41:1 90-degree ultra-short throw through long-throw optics beyond 10:1. Exact shift and throw vary with lens and configuration.
Lens ecosystemTLD+ approx. 0.41–10.83:1Use Barco’s current lens calculator for final geometry, shift and safety-distance validation.
