Barco: LCD video walls with better viewing experience and operational performance

Barco brings a spectacular viewing experience to LCD video walls with the launch of Barco UniSee. By completely rethinking and optimizing every aspect of tiled LCD video walls, Barco UniSee introduces a single uniform view while ensuring faster installation, easier servicing, and higher reliability. This makes it the perfect LCD video wall platform for a multitude of applications – including control rooms, corporate lobbies, experience centers, brand showrooms and meeting rooms.

• Revolutionary, completely redesigned LCD video wall, based on market feedback
• Bezel-less LCD video wall, offering an uninterrupted viewing experience for maximum visual engagement
• Highest color and brightness uniformity, both inside the display and over the entire wall
• New modular mounting structure for easier installation, servicing, and upgrading
• Reconfirming Barco’s position as a leader and innovator in large screen visualization, offering a wide video wall portfolio including advanced rear projection, LCD and LED-technology

As a leader and innovator in large screen visualization, Barco maintains close connections with end-users, resellers and distributors. Following their market feedback, Barco decided to completely rethink the concept of LCD video walls and their mounting structures. The result is Barco UniSee − a revolutionary modular platform that surpasses traditional LCD video walls on every level, and that will define the LCD video wall market for many years to come.

By introducing a bezel-less LCD video wall with unmatched intra-tile uniformity, higher brightness and optimal reliability, Barco UniSee creates an unprecedented viewing experience in LCD video walls. Thanks to the patented NoGap technology, the visual impact of the inter-tile gap is significantly reduced. This means Barco UniSee now makes it possible to spread content over multiple video wall tiles without the disturbance of a bezel.

In addition, to guarantee the smallest possible gap without damaging the panels' edges, Barco has created the UniSee Mount: a radically innovative mounting structure that uses the power of gravity to perfectly and automatically align panels – and keep them in place over time. What's more, UniSee Mount also eases setup and maintenance efforts, allowing swift undocking of the separate panels.

Automatic calibration for perfect uniformity

Sense X − Barco’s automatic, continuous and real-time color and brightness calibration system − ensures that the complete wall produces a perfectly balanced image at all times. Barco has also re-engineered the design of the panels to counter all possible variations in brightness from the center to the edges. The result: perfect and unmatched intra-tile and inter-tile uniformity.

Easy to diagnose and service

Because the LCD video wall is often part of a business-critical application, Barco has taken all possible measures to ensure optimal uptime. The platform is built in such a way that it can easily be diagnosed and serviced. The software platform (UniSee Connect) that manages the entire video wall automatically assigns and calibrates the panels and acts as the single point of connection for remote diagnostics and control.

Flexibility in any environment

“Contrary to traditional LCD video wall solutions, Barco UniSee is a modular platform,” says Gerrit Vermeire, Barco’s Director of Product Management – Operator Experience. “The modular power supplies, input board, and software platform not only enable faster installation, servicing and diagnosis, but also ensure that the system can be upgraded to support further technological evolutions.”

Suchit Rout, Strategic Marketing Director – Operator Experience at Barco, underlines the system’s flexibility: “The magnificent images, NoGap experience, and highest reliability will amaze users, visitors and managers in a wide variety of professional markets, including corporate reception areas, control rooms, experience centers, high-end meeting rooms, brand showrooms, and many more. Barco UniSee will define the seamless LCD video wall market for many years into the future, underlining Barco’s dedication to this market.”
