Barco Alchemy ICMP-X
Integrated Cinema Media Processor (ICMP) - Compatible with Series 2 andSeries 4 projectors

The Barco ICMP-X module combines the functionalities of an
Integrated Cinema Processor (ICP) and media server into one
single board and forms the core of the Barco Alchemy digital
cinema projectors. Reducing the required hardware increases
simplicity and reliability into the projection booth. The smart
projector even detects potential operational errors and warns
users in case of mishaps. With rich alternative content inputs andthe most powerful DCI decoding in the industry, the Barco ICMPX is future-proof and greatly enhances your Barco digital cinema
projector. Great in TMS environments, a projector equipped with
the Barco ICMP-X module operates as stand-alone in single
screen applications. The Barco ICMP-X is DCI-compliant with theCompliance Test Plan (CTP) version 1.2.
Increased operational eﬃciency
Thanks to the embedded Barco Web Commander user-interface the projector
can be controlled remotely, including show creation and scheduling.
Configuration and setup can simply be performed by service technicians via
Barco (Web) Communicator.

Future proof
When coupled with a single 4K digital cinema projector, the Barco Alchemy
technology enables 4K 2D at 60 fps and 4K 3D images, supporting all standard
and 2K 3D HFR DCI movies.
