Tailored to the human
eye
Always keeping the comfort of the operator in mind, Barco has
designed its OV-D2 video wall series with a combination of
state-of-the-art technology and in-depth knowledge of the
human vision. Luminance, on-screen contrast and color are all
optimized to maximally limit eye strain and adapt to the limita-
tions of the human eye.
High dynamic range
A unique optical dimming concept pre-
serves video wall contrast over time
and brings double the contrast values in
comparison to Barco’s competitors.
True color
Barco’s new video wall series comes
with a wide gamut range spanning sev-
eral of the widely used, international
color standards. Within that color range
every color can be achieved within the
limitations of the eye. The standard
color temperature is set to 6500 K,
which is ergonomically best suited in
normal daylight conditions or can be set
to 3200 K for camera recording in stu-
dios.

Optimized brightness
Barco’s video walls are designed to
present information in the most
ergonomical way. To avoid eye strain,
the luminance level of the video wall is
at its best when it is matched with the
luminance of a normal control room
environment. Barco optimizes its video
walls so all content can be seen from
any operator seat within an ergonomic
brightness range.
High on-screen contrast
On-screen contrast is critical for the leg-
ibility of a video wall. Barco combines
high-contrast projection engines with
anti-glare screens that avoid direct
reflections.
