iUtilities visualization solutions feature highly flexible video walls, video wall controllers and wall management software.
Designed on cutting edge projection technologies, our 24/7 video walls offer various screen sizes and resolutions up to SXGA+ for accomplishing virtually all requirements in small and large control rooms, control centers or control suites as defined in the ISO standard 11064.
Our high performance video wall controllers run on standard operating systems (Microsoft® Windows® or Linux®) allowing for easy integration in existing Information Technology (IT) infrastructures and network automation applications, and providing a scalable solution supporting our customer's future needs.
Integration from Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or any Energy Management System (EMS), Distribution Management System (DMS) or Generation Management System (GMS) from different vendors has never been easier through software screen scraping (using our Cottus Viewer, part of the Apollo Wall Management Software) and hardware screen scraping (using our TransForm SCN networked visualization solution).
Freely moveable and sizable video windows and the integration of an almost unlimited number of video sources allow high-flexibility surveillance applications. If more traditional integration is required, RGN insertions can be used with Audio-Video (AV) cabling.
If flexibility, scalability and transparency are required, we offer networked visualization consisting of streaming video cards and standard Internet Protocol (IP) Ethernet. Access to web portals can be automated through the layout management software providing dynamic visualization.
Barco's wall management software ensures intuitive and secure handling of the content on the display wall, fast event-driven reactions and easy control of external hardware. The wall management software allows showing process applications and their content on an as-needed basis using human interactions through touch panels and push buttons, and machine interactions such as events and alarms.
Holistic views are created by adding a visualization layer on top of several applications designed for content, instead of viewing a single web page on a monitor-type display size. Digital map boards are generated using scalable vector graphics and connect to open databases like OLE for Process Control (OPC) servers, thus improving the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for large displays and high resolutions.
