Barco's laser projectors deliver the best possible cinematic experience for our guests.

DFX auditoriums will add Barco laser projectors to the existing multichannel, immersive audio system and Galaxy's famous reclining lounge chairs. The installations are set to be completed by the end of July and early August, and are located at Cannery Luxury in North Las Vegas, Green Valley Luxury in Henderson, and Legends IMAX Luxury in Sparks, Nevada; and Mission Grove Luxury in Riverside, Riverbank IMAX Luxury , and Tulare Luxury in California.

The North Las Vegas location at Cannery Luxury was the first Galaxy Theatres location to install the new Barco laser projectors. This location is the first cinema to feature laser projection in the Las Vegas area. Installation has been completed and Cannery Luxury guests are able to experience the new projectors now.

The power behind premium, the intelligence behind smart

Barco offers the largest and most comprehensive portfolio of laser projectors in the industry, offering six Flagship Laser and nine Smart Laser projectors with a low total cost of ownership. Featuring the highest brightness in the industry, Barco laser projectors are ideal for illuminating premium large screens, especially for 3D movies. Exhibitors can economically outfit auditoriums or entire multiplexes thanks to the projectors' low power consumption and maintenance, long lifetime, and the elimination of lamps while boosting image quality, and consistency over time, to unprecedented levels.

We are honored that our long-term cinema partner Galaxy Theatres is once again placing its trust in Barco to maintain a high-quality, cutting-edge approach to premium movie presentation, comments Stijn Henderickx, Vice President Cinema at Barco.
