Cinionic | Cinionic launches industry-first High Contrast cinema laser projectors to power brilliant movie showings on smaller screens

Kortrijk, Belgium, April 19, 2018 – Leveraging Barco’s long history of market leadership in cinema laser technology and it success with RGB Flagship Laser projection for Premium Large Format screens, Cinionic, the Barco Cinema joint venture, now turns its attention to smaller screens. Today, Cinionic announces a new Smart Laser High Contrast (HC) projector series designed to deliver stunning image quality never-before-seen in this footprint.
“In our research, it became clear that exhibitors wanted to offer patrons rich, immersive movie showings in every theater – not just their largest or PLF auditoriums – but cost and efficiency were limiting factors,” said Wim Buyens, CEO of Cinionic. “We developed our Smart Laser High Contrast projectors to present brilliant imagery that captivates audiences with a one-of-a-kind premium experience.”
