Overview

Barco Bragi CinemaScope
Bragi takes its name from an historical ninth-century poet. His poems were so outstandingly artful and moving that subsequent generations imagined that, upon his death, Odin had appointed him the court poet of Valhalla.
Bragi, being Balder’s brother and inherits the same design philosophy, optical core and lenses.  
 

Professional grade optics

By basing Bragi Cinemascope's optical engine on its bigger brother Balder Cinemascope's architecture, incorporating custom designed aspherical glass elements and enhanced low dispersion glass lenses, image quality is in a class of its own. Topping that, Bragi’s chassis and core are built from aluminium and magnesium, which offer exceptional robustness, resulting in the best picture quality ever shown at this level.

State of the art electronics

Thanks to our unique single step processing technology (SSPTM), Pulse electronics are designed to process 4K UHD, HDMITM 2.0a, HDCP 2.2 and HDR10 signals with extremely low latency. Bragi CinemaScope uses the very latest 0.9" DMD DLP chipset, to display flawless 5K UHD (5,120 × 2,160 px), 2.37:1 aspect ratio images on screen.

CinemaScope

Our unique aspect ratio detection system, automatically crops and scales content to fit the appropriate screen area, ranging from 1.78:1 to 2.39:1. Manual cropping is also available for custom configurations such as cinemascope subtitle support, where only the top black bar (letterboxing) is removed, preserving the subtitles at the foot of the image.

Colors

Combining HLD LED illumination with regular LED colors which appear more saturated, the human eye is tricked to interpret this as richer, brighter colors than they are physically measured. Bragi also includes a motorized DCI/P3 filter for improved HDR color accuracy. Additionally, Barco’s RealColor processing enables simple and accurate calibration to your desired color gamut or white point.
