Target audience

This training is intended for Barco service engineers and Barco Service Partners who need in-depth TransForm N knowledge and who are currently Certified as a Barco specialist in TransForm N.

This training is NOT suitable for end-customers: As most projects are unique and combine multiple products and technologies, we recommend end-customers to make contact with their Barco sales, service representative or project manager to request a customized training better suited to answer the specific needs for their project. This way the training can be optimized in length and in content to cover only the components that are installed at the end-customer’s site and that are of relevance, as well as focus on how the system is used, and also accommodate for any special areas of interest or need.

 

Objective

At the end of the session the attendee will be able to:

• Install and configure all TransForm N components
• In-depth troubleshooting a TransForm N system and its components
• Upgrade an existing TransForm N system to latest version
