Large private cinemas
Up to 12,500 ANSI lm provides the light budget for large image areas, lower-gain acoustically transparent materials and more ambitious luminance targets.

WHY IT EXISTS
Cinema-class output with unusually broad installation flexibility.
Njord sits above compact residential platforms in physical scale and output. It is a projector to design a room around rather than hang as an afterthought.
The standard Njord is the more natural fit for 16:9-led systems, mixed-content spaces and large screens where a wide TLD+ lens range can solve difficult placement constraints.
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.
