Barco ILiteThe Barco ILite indoor display technology combines high brightness with high resolution in a slim, modular package. The intelligent LED-based display solution offers new standards in the video and graphics world. The system offers extremely wide viewing angles and unsurpassed high resolution images. Barco’s ILite comes with a built-in PC, which not only allows the system to configure itself in whatever shape and size, but also enables continuous performance during maintenance or service. This built-in intelligence enables the user to mix several batches of tiles of various runtime ages without image uniformity degradation or to remotely monitor the system. Three versions are currently available: ILite 6, ILite 8 and ILite 10.
Modular Intelligent LED Pixel BlockMiPIX is Barco's brand new modular intelligent LED pixel block, which measures only 4cm by 4cm. A revolution in the LED market, its small size and shape allow for it to be used to create intelligent lighting effects on large-scale backdrops of any form, shape or size, while also offering the possibility of full video content on 3D logos or other free-form shapes. The MiPIX blocks further facilitate the construction of large-scale backdrops by the fact that they can be spaced apart at various distances, making the pixel blocks a cost-effective medium for ultra-large applications.
