HDR by Barco delivers expansive creative possibilities for filmmakers, producing a wide color gamut with high-contrast images that captivate audiences.
This announcement follows the launch of the fully redesigned website for moviegoers, www.HDRbyBarco.com, making it easier for audiences to experience the brand's premium HDR Lightsteering technology throughout this holiday season.
