Very high resolution images
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908 renders high-resolution, large screen images with
unprecedented visual fidelity.
•Compatibility with workstations up to 3,200 by 2,560 pixels.
•Horizontal autolock scan frequency range up to 80 kHz
•80 MHz RGB amplifier ( 20 MHz for BARCOGRAPHICS 908)
•New, ultrahigh-definition, LC gun 8” electromagnetic focus CRTs with digitally

Barco’s top-of-the-line digital CRT
family has been expanded to include
two new 8” offerings: the powerful
BARCOREALITY 908 and the affordable
BARCOGRAPHICS 908. Unique digital image
adjustments provide outstanding
performance in multi-channel setups on
curved and on flat screens. The
advanced digital design features make
the BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908 the
standard in high-resolution projection.
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908 is
specially designed for demanding
applications, such as simulation, Virtual
and Augmented Reality, Edutainment,
3D and stereoscopic projection, industrial
design as well as military command and
control centers (C3I).

High precision digital projection system
Proprietary Digital Waveform
Generation geometry & convergence
correction
This unique feature offers digital control
over all geometry, convergence, focus
and astigmatism adjustments.
The (patented) morph-interpolation
algorithm enhances the digital waveform
by suppressing all artifacts and
generating smooth transitions.
Convergence is adjustable in up to 8
independent zones.
riangular Spot Nullifying M ( SN M)
Digitally controlled 6-poles offer
advanced digital beam correction. Barco’s
TSN M beam spot uniformity
enhancement guarantees superb focus
quality across the entire projected image.
Digital Dynamic Astigmatism (DDA)
Digital enhancement of the overall focus
quality of the projected image.
New high-resolution CR ’s
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908 is
equipped with new, ultra-high definition,
liquid$-cooled 8" CRTs with an advanced
electromagnetic focus system and
digitally controlled dynamic astigmatism,
which guarantees razor sharp projected
images, even at maximum contrast
levels.
New high-resolution Lenses
Super-high definition, fully color
corrected, liquid coupled F . lenses
provide outstanding image contrast.
Several types of lenses are available,
optimized for a wide range of screen
sizes flat and curved.
Flexible installation possibilities
Barco offers a series of special options for
other applications (multi-screen
applications, non-standard projection
angles, etc....).
•Mosaic geometry correction:
flat, curved, off-axis
•Field extension compatibility
•Optional convergence on green
•SEMU II Soft Edge Modulation Unit with
multi-facet capabilities
•Digital Contrast Modulation
And many other application specific
optimizations. Please contact us for more
details.
Optical Scheimpflug Correction
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908
features a precision Scheimpflug optical
correction system with stepless
adjustments for both horizontal and
vertical axes. This built-in optical
correction guarantees optimal optical
focus from left to right and top to bottom
for projection under non-standard angles.
Secure design
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908 has
been designed for extremely low RFI/EMI
emissions for demanding military and
industrial applications where unwanted
interference could compromise critical
communications lines.
Self-diagnostics
Auto-detection and history log of all
essential functions. These functions are
accessible through the on-screen menu or
over a network.
Optional AU OALIGN™
digital auto-convergence and auto-
geometry
Advanced Digital Alignment System
effortlessly aligns the geometry and
convergence of the projected image with
exceptional accuracy. This makes CRT
technology transparent for the every-day
user and reduces cost of ownership of
CRT-based systems.

AutoAlign
Barco’s uilt-in Scheimpflug optical correction
offers ultimate flexi ility for projection under
non-standard angles. Stepless adjustments
are easily made y two convenient screws,
accessi le from the top.
Advanced ABL Control
The BARCOREALITY/BARCOGRAPHICS 908
makes use of an advanced ABL
(Automatic Black Level) circuit to
automatically ensure optimum contrast.
The measurement cycle is fully user-
controlled through RS232 and a
programmable timer.
