At Bardan, we’re passionate about bringing the latest innovations to the world of cinema. One of the most transformative developments in this space is High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology for theaters, powered by Barco. This breakthrough is set to revolutionize the way audiences engage with films, offering unparalleled vibrancy, detail, and immersion on the big screen.

What is HDR by Barco?

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a technology already familiar to many home viewers, but Barco is bringing it to the big screen in a whole new way. Imagine visuals with unprecedented brightness, profound blacks, and captivating contrast. HDR by Barco utilizes laser projection and a patented lightsteering technology to achieve this stunning effect.

Benefits for Your Cinema:

  • Dazzling Visuals: Imagine the sun shimmering on water or fireworks illuminating the night sky with lifelike clarity. HDR by Barco brings all the details, highlights, and shadows to life with exceptional richness and depth.
  • Enhanced Immersion: Deeper blacks that retain detail create a more immersive viewing experience, drawing audiences deeper into the story.
  • Premium Experience: Offer your patrons a truly premium experience that sets your theater apart from the competition.

What’s Coming Next?

While HDR projectors are currently installed in select theaters, the technology is poised to become more widely available in the near future. Early installations of Barco’s HDR projectors have already begun in major markets, with a broader rollout expected in 2025. As more cinemas embrace HDR, audiences everywhere will experience the next evolution in visual quality and premium viewing.

Partnering for the Future

As a leader in cinema integration and distribution, Bardan is proud to collaborate with Barco—a trusted name in the industry for over 90 years—to bring this revolutionary technology to our customers. HDR is more than just an upgrade; it’s a leap forward in what cinema can offer, and we are excited to help theaters prepare for this future.
