James,
The information below presumes you have the authority to make changes. If you don't have the authority or experience, then please ask a qualified technician to investigate the problem.
Check your Barco firmware and make sure you are on the latest (2.5.57). There are have been updates to the Dolby 3D mechanism in the Barco projector.
Regardless, in Communicator (Barco's software that runs on their touchpanel or your computer), you should be able to monitor the 3D filter mechanism. It is under Configuration>3D>Integrated Filter Wheel.
There are status "LEDs" in that section that will let one see what the wheel is doing (is it inserted, spinning, synced...etc).
If, for some reason the mechanism had a problem it won't try to reinsert/spin so you may have to select a non-3D format and reinsert (note, you can from the Configuration>3D section select No3D and then reselect the 3D file for your Dolby 3D setting (which may or may NOT be "Dolby3D")
Note, since the 3D Integrated Filter Wheel is a Configuration screen (one can change the dark time, wheel sync...etc.) it is user-level protected (don't bother asking me for a password either). You don't need to select No3D and then reselect your 3D mode, however. Again, you can always select a 2D preset and then reselect the 3D one to also have the projector try the 3D wheel again.
I suspect that either the microswitches that monitor the wheel's position may be getting "noisy" or the software should be updated. It can also be UV damage to the mechanism. There is an update kit to help shield it.
Then again, you have a DP2K-12C so you top out at 2.2KW (and are probably at 2KW) so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm amazed you have enough light to begin with Dolby 3D is only about 8% efficient.
