New improved projectors from Barco Thanks to their higher bandwidth and upgraded input support (HDMI2.0 and 3D SYNC), the new additions to the Barco portfolio are now compatible for 4K input sources and provide HD 3D stereo capabilities. What’s more, the G62s bring enhanced and OSD embedded warping and blending capabilities, which makes it ideally suited to be used in combination with other projectors in a multi-channel set-up. In addition, an improved interface enables user-friendly operation and efficient workflows. The G60 and G62 projec-
tors are the perfect match for a compact installation. Next to the compact format of the G-projectors, there’s also the possibility of working with the familiar G-series short-throw lenses. Also: in order to blend in with different environments, the G2 models will also be available in both black and white chassis. Users can always rely on all the proven benefits of Barco’s service program and global support. With the additional EssentialCare service options, customers can access an existing pool of G-series swap units with comparable bright-
ness and lifetime to reduce response and replacement time. Since its launch in 2019, the G60 projectors have convinced customers with its price-performance ratio resulting in some beautiful references in the museum industry like Infinity des Lumières in Dubai or the new Memory Lane Museum Complex in Russia. Part of Barco’s single-chip projection family, the G62s will offer customers the same trusted recipe of stable performances and Barco expert guidance.

For school districts and universities that struggle to offer a wide range of courses, Nureva XT can help make better use
connections with students in other schools. “The process for developing Nureva XT started with reaching out to our customers and learning about the challenges they faced in deploying hybrid learning products in their classrooms,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nureva’s CEO. “We quickly translated that input into a full-featured classroom solution that offers the simplicity, flexibility and reliability that has become so critical in today’s education environments.” The Nureva XT classroom solution is available to order through a global network of value-added dealers and resellers and is expected to ship in March 2022. The MSRP in the United States for higher education ranges from $4,499 to $7,699 depending on the classroom size and Nureva Pro subscription term. Prices in other countries will vary.
