Barco G50-W8 8000-Lumen WUXGA Laser Projector (Black, No Lens, TAA-Compliant) - R90106552

Product Overview

The Barco G50-W8 is an 8,000-lumen WUXGA single-chip DLP laser projector built for permanent installation in demanding, brightly lit venues. This black-chassis unit is the TAA-compliant variant (part R90106552), making it eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement under the Trade Agreements Act. It pairs a long-life laser phosphor light source with Barco's compact G50 chassis and full G-series lens compatibility. No lens is included, so you can specify the exact throw ratio your room requires.

Product Description

Among the smallest and lightest projectors in the 5,000-8,000 lumen class, the G50-W8 delivers 7,500 ANSI lumens of WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) imagery from a sealed DLP core that resists dust over the life of the unit. The laser phosphor light source is rated up to 20,000 hours, and constant light output (CLO) holds brightness steady across multi-channel installations. As shown in the product gallery, the black housing recedes into darkened rooms such as auditoriums, simulation bays, and theaters where a low-visibility chassis is preferred. Motorized zoom, focus, and lens shift plus full 360-degree orientation give integrators wide placement freedom. This TAA-compliant black model is electronically identical to the standard black G50-W8; for a lighter chassis see the white TAA-compliant version.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lens does the G50-W8 use? The projector ships without a lens and accepts Barco's full range of interchangeable G-series lenses, from a 0.37:1 ultra-short-throw to a 2.90-5.50:1 long-throw, so you can match the exact throw distance of your room.
