At the tradeshow in Orlando, Florida, attendees can experience Barco's portfolio, offering a comprehensive range of projection solutions tailored for both mid- and high-end simulation applications. Advanced simulation systems Barco’s offering is a highly adaptable projection portfolio with diverse options in lumen output At the heart of Barco’s offering is the highly adaptable projection portfolio with diverse options in lumen output, engineered to meet the needs of a wide range of training scenarios, from entry-level to advanced simulation systems, across multiple sectors.  The state-of-the-art visualisation solutions focus on unmatched image quality, high-refresh rates and ultra-detailed visuals - key essentials in the creation of realistic and immersive training situations. Latest additions to the portfolio The newest members of the simulation portfolio are the I600 and F400-N4K projectors, both built on Barco’s proprietary next-gen Pulse electronics and firmware platform for seamless processing with minimal latency. Barco’s I600 projector is an entry-level solution designed for those seeking a compact and lightweight projector without compromising on performance. Offering 4K UHD resolution at 120 Hz, the I600 delivers superior image quality, making it an ideal choice for simulation environments seeking high visual fidelity at an attractive price. Barco F-series projector range The F400 ensures even the smallest details are captured during fast-moving simulation scenarios Barco is now also shipping its F400 platform. The F400-N4K projector sets the standard for high-end simulation applications with the highest level of detail, speed, and reliability. Having a native 4K resolution, that can be scaled to 6K and beyond using advanced pixel-shift technology, and refresh rates up to 240 Hz, the F400 ensures even the smallest details are captured during fast-moving simulation scenarios. What’s more, the Barco F400, and by extension the Barco F-series projector range, have a robust design fully rated for shock and vibration, which makes them fit for use on motion platforms and ensures peak performance in the most rigorous environments. Experience Barco at I/ITSEC 2024 "We believe that by providing this wide range of solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with flexibility, we address the full spectrum of training and simulation needs," said Dan Czajkowski, Head of Sales Entertainment at Barco.

Barco, a pioneer in professional visualisation technology, announces the refreshment of its OverView range of tiled LCD video walls. The new OverView LVD-5521D and OverView KVD-5521D are 55” 500-nit LCD video walls, part of the ENB 1.8 mm and UNB 3.5mm bezel generation respectively. The panels build further on the existing range, featuring automatic colour and brightness calibration and noiseless operation. Smooth visual experience Barco’s OverView range of mid-range LCD video walls perfectly complements the premium Barco UniSee platform. These new generations of OverView video walls showcase significant advancements in seam width reduction and uniformity enhancements. Ultra Narrow Bezel 3.5 mm generation for KVD) makes sure that the inter-modular seams are minimised The narrow bezel (Extreme Narrow Bezel 1.8 mm generation for LVD, Ultra Narrow Bezel 3.5 mm generation for KVD) makes sure that the inter-modular seams are minimised for a smooth visual experience. Additionally, Barco’s signature innovative Sense X algorithm – the unique automatic and continuous calibration system − ensures that a perfectly balanced image is consistently produced across the entire wall, delivering superior visual uniformity and performance. Easy installation and operation The Barco OverView LCD portfolio is designed to meet the needs of mission critical applications. The absence of cooling fans not only minimises noise, but also eliminates moving parts (which are susceptible to wear), optimising both the lifetime and the total cost of ownership (TCO). This makes the range suited for use in critical applications, including control rooms, television studios and corporate boardrooms. OverView LVD-5521D and OverView KVD-5521D OverView LVD-5521D and OverView KVD-5521D use the Video Wall Manager software The OverView LVD-5521D and OverView KVD-5521D use the Video wall Manager software to make it easy to install and control the video wall, while enhancing user-friendliness.  The integration of DisplayPort v1.2, which makes it possible to feed 4 displays in loop-through with 4K@60Hz content, is vital for easy connection with a limited number of cables. Minimising energy consumption To conclude, both products are ecolabeled with a Barco ecoscore A. Compared to the previous model, the KVD-5521D consumes 20% less energy, representing a significant improvement in energy efficiency.  By minimising energy consumption, businesses can lower operational costs while actively contributing to environmental conservation in alignment with their commitment to sustainability. This dual benefit of cost efficiency and eco-friendliness makes the next-gen OverView video walls an ideal choice for forward-thinking organisations. “The refreshed Overview LCD video wall range offers customers even more value for money,” says Gerrit Vermeire, Director R&D Displays at Barco, adding “Complemented with our flagship Barco UniSee range, this creates a complete LCD portfolio – which allows us to always suggest the solution that best answers the users’ needs and budget.”
