Barco R9408981-B UDX-U40 40,000-Lumen UXGA Laser DLP Projector (No Lens)

Product Overview

The Barco UDX-U40 (R9408981-B) is a 40,000-lumen (ISO) UXGA 3-chip DLP laser phosphor projector for large-venue, rental-staging, and projection-mapping work. This configuration ships without a lens so integrators can specify the exact TLD+ optic the deployment requires. Its UXGA 1600×1200 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio reduce light waste when mapping onto 3D objects and irregular surfaces. A compact, rugged chassis with integrated cooling and a sealed optical core supports 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance.

Product Description

The UDX-U40 delivers 40,000 ISO lumens (36,500 ANSI / 37,500 center) driven by Barco Pulse 4K Single Step Processing electronics for sharp images and low latency. The gallery images show the compact UDX body with integrated cooling, the rear input panel, and the motorized lens mount that accepts the full TLD+ lens range. Constant Light Output (CLO) keeps brightness and color steady across the rated 20,000-hour light-source lifetime, and the FLEX feature lets you tune and lock brightness and resolution per show. Because this unit ships without a lens, pair it with a Barco TLD+ optic from our TLD+ ANY 4 lens pack with UST or the TLD+ ANY 5 lens pack. For a factory GSM and Wi-Fi build see the UDX-U40 with GSM & Wi-Fi, and when you need more output step up to the UDX-U45. Browse the full Barco collection for matching rigging and accessories. Modular components remove quickly to limit servicing time, and existing TLD+ lenses can be reused across the fleet.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the UDX-U40 include a lens? No. This R9408981-B configuration ships without a lens so you can select the correct TLD+ optic for your throw distance and venue.

Which lenses fit the UDX-U40? It accepts the full Barco TLD+ lens range, from 0.37:1 ultra-short throw up to 7.5-11.5:1 long throw, all with motorized zoom, focus, and shift.

How bright is the UDX-U40? It is rated at 40,000 ISO lumens (36,500 ANSI / 37,500 center) from its UXGA 3-chip DLP engine.

What is the light source lifetime? The laser phosphor light source is rated for 20,000 hours, and Constant Light Output keeps brightness and color steady across that span.

How does the UDX-U40 compare to the UDX-U45? Both share the UXGA platform; the U45 delivers 45,000 ISO lumens versus 40,000 on the U40 for brighter screens and longer throws.

Can it run continuously? Yes. The sealed DLP core, integrated cooling, and 360° orientation support 24/7 fixed-installation operation.
