The Professional Video Alliance (PVA) has announced that Barco Residential is the first video projector company to receive PVA Certification for its entire residential product line.
PVA points out the newly certified projectors were on display during the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2024 show in Barcelona, where PVA founder Gregg Loewen presented the certification.
“Barco Residential is a market leader through innovation and its pursuit of excellence. We applaud Barco’s choice to undergo third-party testing and receive certification to further elevate its positioning,” states Loewen. “The PVA Certified designation is an added guarantee that will assure Barco’s customers that their investment is well placed.”
Professional Video Alliance (PVA) Certification Validates Product Performance
Professional Video Alliance explains that products earning the “PVA Certified” designation are guaranteed to have met or exceeded all manufacturer specifications and delivered the stated reference-level performance under simulated conditions.
PVA visited Barco headquarters in Belgium to complete the testing. During that weeklong process, eight product series—Medea, Bragi, Balder, Hodr, Njord, Freya, Freya+, and Nerthus—were put through their paces and earned PVA Certified status.

This certification again proves Barco’s dedication to this topic.”
Professional Video Alliance emphasizes that it is currently accepting applications for its certification program. Manufacturers can submit their products to the PVA offices or approved third-party certification organizations. In the case of Barco Residential, PVA can visit the manufacturer for in-facility testing and make recommendations for improving the products.
In addition to its product certification programs, the PVA offers extensive training for video professionals worldwide in performance theater system design, video product selection, installation, and system optimization.
Professional Video Alliance adds that it will offer training specifically for Barco Residential products systems. Integrators interested interested in the Barco Residential training should contact their distributors for more information.
