Barco Control Rooms Introduces its Integrated Visualization Platform at InfoComm Asia, Suntec City Singapore
InfoComm Asia, Suntec City Singapore, 29 October 2003 - Barco Control Rooms is pleased to announce the introduction and launch for the Asia-Pacific Region of its OverView D display wall for control room environments together with its Argus, the digital display controller for easy video and data integration.
Barco has developed the OverView D series projection modules in order to provide key features to enhance the operator’s comfort within a 24/7 environment. By including Barco’s proprietary “Optical Dimming” and “Dynamic Feedback” technology, the OverView D series projection module will allow constant optimization of brightness and contrast performance while maintaining excellent color uniformity. The OverView D Series features the latest high-contrast DLP™ technology, optimal brightness, contrast, color uniformity and wide viewing angles. Barco’s proprietary Optical Dimming technology ensures optimal light coupling between the lamp and the DLP™ chip and also compensates for lamp life, resulting in superior brightness and uniformity. In addition, Barco’s Dynamic Feedback technology allows the display to maintain consistent light output. The OverView D display systems can be combined by Barco’s proprietary stitching technique, allowing virtually seamless display walls that can be expanded both vertically and/or horizontally to any size, in straight or curved configurations.The OverView D Series offers extraordinary reliability and lifetime serviceability. The display’s dual redundant lamp design allows the user 100% reliability. Lamp replacement easily performed from the rear of the system, while the unit is running and without loss of video. The display also offers a dust-free design, access to operation and service adjustments through IR remote control and an On-Screen Display. Both XGA and SXGA resolutions are available. At InfoComm Asia 2003 Barco demonstrates the Overview mDR50-DL (SXGA resolution) controlled by an Argus digital display controller.
Argus is the most flexible and scalable multi-screen controller system, which easily integrates video and data sources on display walls. The powerful controller has the capacity to operate walls of virtually unlimited size. With its intelligent high-bandwidth backplane and its sophisticated Omniscaler technology, up to 320 external sources can be integrated into graphic data. The scalable source windows can be moved to any location on the display wall. This architectural design allows the user to grow the solution in modular steps both in terms of displays and input decoding. The combination of flexible display and universal decoding platform provides the user with a truly integrated display solution that is unique in its flexibility, cost, performance, and scalability.
