Barco's DML-1200 DLP projector doubles as concert lighting device
Talk about a novel concept. The Barco DML-1200 is being hailed as "the first moving digital light which can truly be used as both a high quality video projector and a super bright moving light source," meaning that you can use the same device to throw Mario Kart Wii up on a 70-inch screen and bathe your band in light at the local pub. Powered by a DLP engine, the unit features a SXGA+ (1,400 x 1,050) native resolution, lamp-life-killing 10,000 lumens, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, a pair of USB ports, VGA out and DVI / HD-SDI inputs. This sucka lights up the room courtesy of four 300-watt UHP type lamps, but don't expect them to last much over 750 hours. Not a peep on pricing just yet, but be sure to check out what the DML-1200 can do in the video link below.

Novel?? HighEnd has already been through 3 iterations of their automated fixtures with projection. Not to mention, theirs was out four years ago. Check out the DL.3. Way cooler than this piece.
NO WAY DUDE! haha This thing does 10K lumens, the DL-3 only has 6500 lumens and it doubles as a moving light, with gobos and dichroic glass. OH and the DL3 only projects up to 1024x768 native. This has a BARCO Projector... BARCO... enough said. HD baby!

The DL.3 though also has integrated operating (windows unfortunately) but the biggest unmentioned feature would be it's camera. I went to once rave/"mega jam" where they had this multi-thousand dollar moving head projector JUST as a camera. Can your precious barco do that?

which makes it crap at both functions! perfect.
The DML-1200 has also a mediaplayer build in with an OS (Windows XP).
