Barco Signs Significant Frame Contract with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH
LE BOURGET, FRANCE - BarcoView has signed a frame contract with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, Offenbach, Germany, for the optional delivery of 240 2K x 2K ISIS flat panel LCD main displays over a three-year period for use in several new projects. DFS has selected BarcoView's revolutionary 2K x 2K LCD display for its superior visualization technology.
DFS intends to integrate a first batch of 60 ISIS flat panels in the Controller Working Positions (CWP) of the new Area Control Center in Bremen. BarcoView's advanced visualization solution will allow operators to display high-quality 2048 x 2048 high resolution images, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. First deliveries are due to begin July 2001, whereas final deliveries are expected by the end of this year.An additional number of 18 Barco ISIS main displays have been ordered for an ATC simulator program called NEWSIM in Langen, Germany. Delivery is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2001.Barco's ISIS 2K x 2K, 28" square flat panel LCD main display has been chosen by DFS for its high-performance image quality, its low lifecycle cost (4 shop-replaceable backlight trays reduce console down-time considerably) and also because it is fully compatible with the de facto ATC standard 20" x 20" square format, and can easily be integrated into both new and existing Controller Working Positions.Barco's ISIS is the world's first large 2K x 2K, 28" LCD main display for ATC applications. The 4 megapixel LCD displays of the ISIS family together with BarcoView' PVS graphics controllers combine performance, low lifecycle cost, user comfort and an open system environment into an innovative visualization architecture.The ISIS product family features four flat panel versions: a chassis version for integration into workstations, a panel-mount version with front-side mounting, a monitor replacement version offering a form-fit functional replacement for existing consoles and a desktop version, especially styled for use on office desks..gif)
