Value proposition and applications
24th July 2019

2. Small switchers for Breakouts and meeting rooms like the PDS
No Barco, No Show Four pillars why Barco is the reliable partner for all your shows and venues
State-of-the-art
Processing latest signals and resolutions,
without comprimising signal quality
Maximum ROI
High ROI for both small and simple to the largest and most complex shows
Live
Future proof
Minimal latency, road worthy solutions, and minimal operational risk.
Modular hardware and software designs to enable future upgrades
Comprehensive:
Small switchers for Breakouts and meeting rooms like the PDS
Simple switching or complex conversions with the ImagePRO
Large complex shows with the Event Master processors depending on size.
State of the Art:
Latest generation of our proprietary scaling technology that only adds 1 frame of latency to locked systems with progressive signals.
Full 4:4:4 scaling and signal processing.
12 bit per pixel scaling and signal back bone to provide the highest quality possible with extremely low latency.
Live:
Lowest latency processing for live signals, to keep lip sync issues at bay.
Road worthy designs that are rigorously tested for impact, vibration, and temperature extremes.
Future Proof:
Input, output, and processing cards are modular so that the system can grow and evolve as your shows do. The software is continually evolving to provide new features and functionality. As new signal interfaces become available, new cards will be built to support them.
Barco Image Processing solves problems before they occur

3. State-of-the-art processing for Rental & Staging applications
Signal management
Scaler / Converter
Presentation switching
Single / Dual screen
Presentation switching
Multi- / Large screens
Switch between and scale few sources with different interfaces (PC, Camera, splitted LED signals)
Mainly single screen, yet up to 6x HD screens w/ ImagePro 4K
Often used with LED walls
No seamless transitions
Switch between and scale few sources with different interfaces
Preview mode and seamless transitions
Up to 2 output screens, and a few auxiliary monitors (e.g. DSM)
Basic Picture in Picture
E.g., corporate break-out rooms
Presentation switching for largest events: many sources, many screens, preview
Large pixel spaces composed of several sources, e.g., projection blends,LED walls
Advanced picture in picture

ImagePro-II
ImagePro-4K
PDS-902
PDS 4K

4. Use case: Corporate Event (Glacier Summit, Aug 2015)
Challenge: High number of discrete feeds for high profile audience

5. State-of-the-art: When you need ultra low latency
Processing with no more than
1 frame of latency through the entire system
Interactivity example
Lip sync: live camera
and IMAG screens
<15ms
(<1 frame 4K60p)
(<0.5 frame 4K30p)
The end-to-end latency determines
the experience1
Interactivity: the user experience is gone when latency is noticeable. The video wall processor should not be a bottleneck
Lip sync: notice the difference in hands on the IMAG screen. Can you imagine how the sound/lips are not in sync and how distractive this is e.g., in a new studios or auditoria

Note: not only Barco Image Processing is best-in-class in terms of latency, also our Barco Projectors have the fastest electronics on the market, to make sure the delay across the full chain from source to screen remains as low as possible

6. State-of-the-art: When you need 12bit 444 processing
Get the most out of your video wall by never compromising on color
4:2:0
4:4:4

7. State-of-the-art: When you need best-in-class scaling
Up scale an HD video source to 4K or beyond
without sacrificing video quality

8. State-of-the-art: When tearing is not acceptable and you need to synchronize the inputs
Use Genlock to synchronize mulitple inputs connectors from a single source
Synchronization is critical
when working with hi-res video
Tearing example

9. State-of-the-art: When you need Pixel Perfect alignment for large and/or custom-sized video walls
Consistent and easy to use screen management workflows to ensure the perfect experience
LED
Wide Screen Blend

10. State-of-the-art: When you need seamless transitions
Always count on smooth seamless transitions from one layout to the next

11. State-of-the-art: When you need to overlay graphics, logo or text
Flexible keying options
to create the perfect experience
Luma Key (brightness/gray scales)
Chroma Key (color range)
Cut + Fill Key

12. Maximum ROI: Minimize your investment by investing only when you need to
The Event Master™ family is built for maximum size and complexity
Size of your show
Number of I/Os
The different Event Master processors enable the system to be built just right for the size & configuration that you need
Choose your software, your I/O cards and the box(es) that you need
Gradually expand with new software, cards or boxes to support bigger, more complex shows,
based on your needs
Complexity of configuration
Different I/O signals, resolutions, frame rates, PiPs, etc.

13. ”Empty Shelves are Happy Shelves” :D
Maximum ROI: Minimize the shelf time of your modules – and have competitive pricing for any show
Illustrative example

Can be enhanced with a ROI example, (X amount of shows = x revenue) + (X amount of increased shows they CAN do due to expansion = X Revenue increae) + ( X amount of extra dry rental from unused capacity = X Revenue increase ) = Total value of the proposition
