The Barco Alchemy Integrated Cinema Media Processor (ICMP) combines media server functionalities with cinema processing electronics into a single projector module with on-board storage. To better match your needs, we're continuously updating this technology. That's why our new software release (version 1.2.3) includes a wide range of fresh functionalities.
What's new?
Barco Alchemy is now compatible with the Dolby Atmos CP850 audio renderer. No license is required to access this feature on the ICMP. This is the first implementation of the dual KDM mode for immersive sound, which is the only 100% DCI-compliant method and thus fully future-proof. Content creators, distributors, and technology partners worldwide have been educated on this new workflow. Barco also received confirmation from the studios and standardization bodies that they plan on making this the single use method in the near future.From now on, you can use your ICMP storage and copy DCP files from there to a third-party server and flawlessly playback on the destination.
