In the initial press release Barco stated that a GDC SX-3000 would be included:

But in the current spec sheet on Barcos site, they say that it's now an (Doremi?) IMS-1000:

Does anyone know for sure?

To my knowledge, it was always the Doremi IMS1000, at least for europe and the US.

The Beijing press release does not state a distribution partnership between Barco and GDC for this projector and IMS - only that the GDC working in a Barco DP2k-10s was presented there.

All press releases I read concerning the 10sx mentioned the Doremi IMS.

As Barco promotes and bundles the Doremi IMB, together with the AURO audio decoding option (also available on the IMS1000), for their larger projectors, it also makes more sense that Barco stays with Doremi.

However, both are generic series-II IMS, so if you want, you can as well use the GDC, as the Barco will be available with and without IMS.
