TCR Plus – The Power to Reinforce
Color and Detail
BARCO’s TCRPlus Technology
TCRPlus utilizes BARCO’s True Color
Reproduction feature which
provides true-to-life colorimetry
and superior color uniformity
over the entire screen. Special
image enhancement features
enable perfect color tracking and
superb gamma correction. The
result are razor-sharp graphics
pictures and rich, well saturated
video images with amazing color
depth and clarity.
BARCO’s MOCA (Motorized
Convergence Adjustment
System) was designed especially
for special applications such as
On-axis or Dual/Triple projection .
MOCA allows precise convergence
adjustments on the projected
image by means of an Infrared
Remote Control.
BARCOREALITY 9300 projectors can
be mounted and suspended in
BARCO’s rugged, Multifunctional
frame. Solid fixation points are
provided for rigging safety
chains. Powerful features such
as an Adjustable Lens Shift, an
SDI digital video input and
BARCO’s Windows Control
Software offer further
flexibility.

Ready for the Road
A wide range of special features and accessories make the
projector ideally suited for Rental and Staging applications:
Sharper Picture Display
State-of-the-art processing
algorithms dramatically
improve both sharpness and
detail for high-resolution

Superior picture quality is
achieved for all sources
by digitally analyzing,
and controlling the color
contrast of each image
pixel in real time.
Noise Reduction
An advanced Digital
Noise Reduction System
reduces noise in video
pictures and increases the
stability of graphics
images without inducing
motion artifacts.
The digital input
facility allows the
direct connection
of digital sources.
An active loop-
through is provided
for monitoring or
for double and
triple stacked
applications.
