Barco UDX-U40 40,000-Lumen UXGA Laser 3DLP Projector with GSM & Wi-Fi (No Lens) - R9408981-BU

Product Overview

The Barco UDX-U40 (R9408981-BU) is a 40,000-lumen (ISO) UXGA 3-chip DLP laser phosphor projector configured with integrated GSM and Wi-Fi connectivity and the Barco Insights Management Suite. This unit ships without a lens so integrators can fit the exact TLD+ optic the venue requires. Its UXGA 1600×1200 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio make it well suited to 3D projection mapping while minimizing light waste on irregular surfaces. The laser phosphor light source and sealed core support 24/7 operation with low maintenance.

Product Description

The UDX-U40 delivers 40,000 ISO lumens (36,500 ANSI / 37,500 center) driven by Barco Pulse 4K electronics with Single Step Processing for sharp images and low latency. The gallery images show the rugged UDX chassis, the rear I/O panel with HDBaseT, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, and Quad 3G/12G SDI, and the motorized lens mount that accepts the full TLD+ range. Integrated Wi-Fi and GSM feed the cloud-based Barco Insights Management Suite, providing a live dashboard of light-source run-times and operating conditions for efficient fleet management. Constant Light Output holds brightness and color steady over the rated 20,000-hour light-source life, while FLEX lets you tune and lock output per show. Since the projector is sold without a lens, pair it with an optic from our TLD+ ANY 4 lens pack with UST or TLD+ ANY 5 lens pack. For a standard build without GSM/Wi-Fi see the UDX-U40 No Lens, and explore the full Barco collection for rigging and accessories.
