Barco has launched a program designed to ensure peace of mind and low total cost of ownership for exhibitors and constant superior image quality for moviegoers. The SmartCare program provides a guaranteed light source output over a 10-year period for Barco’s Smart Laser cinema projectors.
“After many years, Barco’s laser illumination is a proven technology that’s at a mature stage to become mainstream, especially for the upcoming renewal wave in cinema. We see that more and more exhibitors are switching to Barco’s laser products,” said Stijn Henderickx, vice president cinema at Barco.
Bram Dieryckx, director of product management at Barco said, "As an innovator and leader in laser projection technology, we’ve turned laser illumination into a reliable and future-proof technology for cinema. One way to show our commitment to laser and allow our customers to fully reap the benefits of this Barco technology is by offering them 100 percent peace of mind via the Barco SmartCare program, which guarantees light output for 10 years.”
SmartCare also includes 24/7 service support and full parts coverage. At CinemaCon 2017, Barco is introducing SmartCare for its existing BLP and CLP Smart Laser projectors.
