Barco R9408949-BT UDX 4K40 COMM+TOURING KIT; Body(FLEX)+GSM+WIFI+MTR Frame+FCase+Fiber Input+Camera+Distance Meter+Ext Shutter

Product Overview

The Barco UDX-4K40 4K laser projector is a 40,000-lumen 3-chip DLP large venue projector configured here as a complete touring kit for rental staging, live events, and permanent large-venue installation. This commercial-grade laser phosphor projector pairs 4K UHD resolution with a motorized rigging frame, flight case, fiber input, camera, distance meter, and external shutter so AV integrators can ship, rig, and align the system as one road-ready package. With integrated cooling and a compact chassis, it is built for auditoriums, broadcast studios, and large-format projection where brightness and uptime are non-negotiable.

Product Description

The UDX-4K40 FLEX touring kit delivers 40,000 ISO lumens (37,500 WQ / 36,500 4K UHD center lumens) from a 3-chip 0.9" DMD light engine driven by a B+R laser phosphor light source rated for 20,000 hours. Barco's FLEX² feature lets technicians tune and lock brightness and resolution per show, reducing the number of projectors needed across a tour. The included motorized multifunctional frame and UDX flight case make repeated rigging, stacking, and transport fast for rental crews, while the fiber input card supports long-distance signal runs over the BarcoLink and SFP fiber path for arena-scale cable runs. Barco Pulse 4K electronics provide Single Step Processing for low latency and sharp images, embedded warp and ScenergiX edge blending for multi-projector blends, and DMX-512 plus an integrated web server for show control. The kit's GSM and Wi-Fi modules add remote monitoring, and the bundled camera, distance meter, and external shutter streamline auto-alignment and blackout cues during live production. As shown in the product gallery images, the projector mounts in its rigging frame for ceiling-rigged or floor-stacked orientation across a full 360° range, and it reuses existing TLD+ lenses to protect prior optical investments. For installers comparing brightness tiers, see the comparable Barco UDX-4K40 (body, no lens), the higher-output Barco UDX-W40 FLEX, and the Barco UDX-4K32, or browse the full Barco collection.

Key Features

• 40,000 ISO lumens, 4K UHD — 3-chip DLP delivers 36,500 center lumens at 3,840 × 2,400 for legible images on large screens in high ambient light.
• Laser phosphor light source — 20,000-hour B+R laser engine eliminates lamp replacements, image flicker, and the maintenance cost of arc-lamp projectors.
• FLEX² brightness/resolution tuning — Lock a specific brightness and resolution per show so one projector covers multiple roles across a tour.
• Road-ready touring kit — Ships with a motorized rigging frame, UDX flight case, fiber input, camera, distance meter, and external shutter for fast rig-and-strike workflows.
• Fiber signal transport — Optional SFP/BarcoLink fiber input supports long cable runs in arenas and large venues without signal degradation.
• Barco Pulse 4K electronics — Single Step Processing reduces latency, with embedded warp, ScenergiX edge blending, and picture-by-picture for multi-projector designs.
• Constant Light Output (CLO) — Holds brightness and color steady over the life of the show for predictable multi-unit color matching.
• 360° orientation with integrated cooling — Compact sealed-core chassis rigs in any orientation for ceiling, floor, or tilted projection.
• Remote monitoring and show control — GSM and Wi-Fi modules, DMX-512, RS232, and an integrated web server support networked AV system integration.

Typical Applications

• Auditorium — Stage and presentation projection where 40,000 lumens fills large screens under house lighting.
• Broadcast studio — High-brightness, low-latency 4K imagery for virtual sets and large-format backdrops.
• House of worship — Large-sanctuary image magnification and worship media on wide or blended screens.
• Commercial meeting space / all-hands room — Large-format projection for corporate town halls and general sessions.
• Multi-purpose room — Flexible large-venue events, from conferences to entertainment, in convention and event spaces.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What lenses does the UDX-4K40 use? It accepts Barco TLD+ lenses ranging from 0.37 ultra-short-throw to 7.5-11.5:1 long-throw. The touring kit ships without a lens so you can match throw distance to the venue; existing TLD+ lenses from older Barco units are reusable.

What's included in the touring kit versus the body-only version? This R9408949-BT configuration adds a motorized multifunctional rigging frame, UDX flight case, fiber input card, alignment camera, distance meter, external shutter, and GSM + Wi-Fi modules to the FLEX projector body — a complete rental/touring package rather than a bare engine.

How does it integrate with an existing AV system? It supports HDBaseT, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2, and Quad 3G/12G SDI inputs, plus optional fiber for long runs. Control integrates over RS232, DMX-512, Wi-Fi/GSM, and an integrated web server, so it drops into networked show-control and media-server workflows.

Can it be used for multi-projector edge blending? Yes. Embedded warp and ScenergiX horizontal/vertical edge blending, combined with Constant Light Output for color matching, support blended and stacked multi-projector arrays.

What are the power and cooling requirements? It draws up to 3,750 W on a 200-240 V, 20 A circuit (a reduced-power 120-160 V mode is available) and uses integrated cooling rated for 24/7 operation up to 40 °C, dissipating about 12,795 BTU/h.

What warranty and support apply? The projector carries a 3-year Barco warranty. Creation Networks provides commercial AV sales support and procurement assistance for integrators and AV system designers.
