Components of the Green BCM Solution
3.1
Green BCM Box
The Green BCM Box is the mandatory component of the Green BCM solution.
The Green BCM Box serves as both, as switch controller and as Barco Wall Control Manager.
In its role as switch controller, the Green BCM Box together with one of the optional components (Green Power
Switch Box, Power Module 19inch) provides not only energy efficiency in standby mode but also low inrush cur-
rents:
When switching the entire display wall on, the command is executed with minimal delays on all display: it is
only during the zero crossing that the display is switched on. Thus the inrush current of the entire display wall is
rather low and does not require special safeguarding.
The green power switch is always looking for a zero crossing on the phase of the power net. If no power net is
connected, the Green Power Switch will not switch to on mode.
In standby mode, all displays of an OVD/KVD/IVD/HVD video wall, all power switches and also the BCM control-
ler are switched off. It is only a small controller in the control unit which stays alive and which is able to power
up the entire wall again from standby.
The command to power up is available on the web site of the Green BCM Box. The command can also be trig-
gered via API or the Green ONOFF Button.
In its role as Barco Wall Control Manager, the Green BCM Box manages and controls the displays of an
OVD/KVD/IVD/HVD display wall in terms of color and brightness. Please refer to the user manual of Barco Wall
Control Manager for detailed description.
