The complete Infinipix story: how Barco revolutionizes LED video wall technology

5 min read

For over a decade, Barco's InfinipixTM platform has been quietly revolutionizing the LED video wall industry. What started as a quest to solve fundamental display challenges has evolved into a comprehensive solution that makes professional LED walls more reliable, more beautiful, and surprisingly easy to use. Over the past 5 weeks, we have explained why Infinipix Gen2 sets a new standard in LED processing. Missed it? Then here's a summary - and an exciting announcement at the end!

Rock-solid reliability

The harsh reality of LED video walls? They are only as good as the processors that feed them the images. Since 2014, Infinipix has earned its reputation as "The Rolls Royce of image processing" by tackling this challenge head-on.

Fewer cables, fewer problems. Traditional LED systems require extensive cabling that creates clutter and countless failure points. Infinipix Gen2 flips this equation by pushing dramatically more data through each connection, reducing cable requirements while creating opportunities for backup systems.

Your safety net is built-in. The real game-changer is Infinipix's patented failover system. Unlike conventional setups where one broken connection kills an entire row of tiles, every Infinipix tile stays connected to all its neighbors. When something breaks, the affected tile seamlessly switches to receive data from a surrounding tile—without even a flicker.

This isn't just clever engineering; it's peace of mind. Combined with comprehensive redundancy options, Infinipix ensures your critical displays stay operational when it matters most.

Performance that breaks the rules

In high-stakes environments—from F1 racing simulators to live broadcasts—every millisecond counts. Infinipix Gen2 delivers performance that defies what most people thought possible.

Lightning-fast response times. With less than one frame of delay, the platform achieves virtually instantaneous response. The most impressive example? A Formula 1 team's driving simulator operating at just 0.9 frames of latency, creating seamless connection between driver input and visual response.

Smooth as silk, even with fast motion. Traditional LED walls struggle with fast-moving content, creating jarring visual tears that break immersion. Infinipix eliminates this entirely, delivering fluid motion that maintains perfect visual integrity even during the most dynamic scenarios. Ask to see fast-moving content at any Infinipix demo—you'll immediately notice the difference.

Crystal-clear motion. Advanced processing virtually eliminates the motion blur that has long plagued LED displays, creating dramatically more realistic and responsive visual environments for simulation and training applications.

Colors that actually look right

Anyone who's worked with LED displays knows the frustration: colors that look unnatural, skin tones that appear orange, and brand colors that don't match. Infinipix transforms this experience through intelligent color processing that simply works.

True-to-life colors at any brightness. Unlike conventional processors that lose quality when dimmed, Infinipix maintains perfect color accuracy across the entire brightness spectrum. Whether you're in a bright lobby or dimmed control room, colors remain consistent and natural.

Smart power management. The system intelligently redistributes power across tiles, directing extra capacity from darker areas to brighten highlights—creating stunning contrast that brings HDR-quality visuals to LED walls.

Instant calibration. Gone are the hours of manual tile-by-tile adjustments. Smart Calibration technology automatically ensures consistent color rendering across all tiles simultaneously, delivering superior results while saving valuable time.

Surprisingly simple to use

Perhaps most remarkable is how Infinipix makes professional LED wall management accessible to everyone—not just technical specialists.

No learning curve required. The guided setup process walks users through each step with clear visual cues, making complex configurations intuitive enough for non-technical personnel to handle successfully.

Built-in troubleshooting. Intelligent diagnostic tools don't just identify problems—they suggest solutions and guide users through fixes. This transforms maintenance from a specialist-dependent process into something local teams can often handle independently.

Automation that just works. Corporate lobbies automatically power on in the morning and enter eco-friendly standby mode in the evening. Integration with facility management systems means your LED walls adapt to organizational schedules without manual intervention.

Security you can trust

In today's threat landscape, Infinipix implements comprehensive "security to the pixel" protection throughout the entire system.

European-engineered security brings distinct advantages, with design and manufacturing meeting the world's most stringent cybersecurity standards. Regular third-party security testing ensures protection against evolving threats, with results available to customers who need verification.

Complete protection. Rather than bolting security onto existing systems, protection is built into every component from source to individual LED modules, eliminating the gaps that often emerge with multi-vendor solutions.

Expanding our reach

Today, Barco announces the expansion of its portfolio through strategic alliances with other industry leaders in LED visualization. This will both drastically extend the reach of the Infinipix platform, and expand Barco's LED portfolio to include state-of-the-art technology including COB (Chip On Board), MIP (Micro-LED In Package), and pixel pitches smaller than 0.9mm. For more information about these strategic alliances, read the press releases below.

Experience Infinipix in action at InfoComm 2025 (Orlando, June 11-13), where Barco will demonstrate how the platform "Paints it perfectly."
