Unrivalled network
centric visualisation
solutions
Difficult connectivity, audible noise,
degradation of specifications, poor
lifetime of components may cause
additional costs and inconvenience. A
more prevalent and underestimated
cost is the need for dedicated onsite
AV support and maintenance.
With more than 1000 engineers
worldwide, Barco invests in virtually
all available display technologies for
dedicated applications in high
demanding markets.
Reduced environ-
mental and peripheral
requirements
Dedicated built-in server
Barco’s network centric visualisation
solutions have a dedicated built-in
server, so no external PC is required to
connect into the network. This direct
connection to the network eliminates
the need for expensive RGB cabling
and external switching equipment.
All visual information sources can
be brought to the network
Data can be retrieved from the LAN,
while video-content can be streamed
over the net, so on-site VCR or DVD
players and connecting hassles are
omitted and one does not have to
figure out the compatibility of
components. New sources can be
added anytime, wherever located.
Campus environments can easily be
expanded, at little or no cost.
Sources
Most of the classical sources can be
replaced with network and software
solutions but, if required, existing
hardware can still be used.
Cabling
Connecting to the network is clean
and easy. Less cabling means fewer
complexities and errors, which results
in reduced CAPEX.
Interfaces and matrix switchers
Due to the modularity of the inputs,
the need for matrix switchers will be
the exception. When the display is
used in its network centric application,
no interface is required.
Control system
The Desktop Integration replaces most
of the control system functionalities
with a more convenient and familiar
user interface.
Software development for user
interfaces
There is no requirement for any con-
trol system software development
(reduced CAPEX in case of using net-
worked sources instead of classical
sources)
Labor for installation and start-up
Labor is a fraction of the cost com-
pared to installing a classic system.
Lower
Capital
Expenditure
Less cables, less switchers,
less peripherals, less remotes,
less maintenance,
less interventions, less costs
The use of over-specified components (e.g.
larger LCD panels, more efficient fans and an
adapted housing ensure an optimum heat
dissipation) multiply lifetime and reduce
maintenance interventions.
Immediate access to all sources and files
through the familiar Windows™ XP interface,
by simply using mouse and keyboard.
