The new generation
high-brightness Barco UniSee completes Barco’s LCD Video Wall Portfolio Renewal
and it’s an exciting introduction that builds on its unique strengths.
Barco, a world leader in professional visualisation and
collaboration solutions, introduces the next generation of its successful
high-brightness Barco UniSee LCD video wall. This is the last step in the full
LCD video wall portfolio renewal, after the recent introduction of the new
Barco UniSee 500, OverView KVD-5521C and OverView LVD-5521C. This new
generation builds on the unique strengths of Barco UniSee and further optimises
the state-of-the-art image quality for use in a broader range of applications.
Barco
UniSee was launched in 2017 and was met with great market enthusiasm and a
number of important awards, including the renowned ‘Best of the Best’ Red Dot
Design award. Improvements in terms of image quality, installation precision,
ease-of-servicing and reliability in critical environments, further boosted the
success of the Barco UniSee platform. Today, more than 2,500 Barco UniSee video
walls have been deployed for a wide variety of applications, in all regions in
the world and from small size 2x2 installations to 40m wide video walls.
“The Barco UniSee bezel-free modular platform is
future-proof and designed to evolve over time guaranteeing a superb viewing
experience for every viewer. It embodies perfection in every sense as it
enables a market-leading 95 per cent uniform brightness, compared to the
next-best solution on the market, which achieves only 77 per cent. The patented
technology ensures there are no shadow zones around the edges of the screen
with backlighting 100 per cent of the pixels in a uniform way by using a
greater number of LEDs,” said Ta Loong Gan, Managing Director, Barco Southeast
Asia & Taiwan, and Vice-president, Immersive Experience, Barco APAC.
Another Step-up in Image Quality and
Worry-free Operation
Updating
the high brightness Barco UniSee to the next generation means another step-up
in image quality. With an improved colour performance under wide viewing angles
and proprietary local dimming technology enhancing local contrast (improving
contrast with dark backgrounds and reducing power consumption), Barco UniSee is
suited for use in even more applications (including control rooms, corporate
lobbies, television studios, boardrooms, and experience centres). Barco’s Sense
X automatic calibration technology is further enhanced, fully perfecting the
intra tile and full wall uniformity. The patented UniSee Mount solution keeps
ensuring precise and uniform seams whatever the size and the age of the wall.
Barco
also further evolved the deployment and serviceability of the platform, making
it easier for partners to get the wall up and running and keeping it
operational with minimum interrupts. Introducing the Video Wall Management
Suite allows resellers and managed service providers to monitor and manage the
complete installed base from a central location. This solution comes free of
charge during the warranty period and can be extended with a service contract
or subscription offer. Also, Barco’s service portfolio has been renewed,
offering comprehensive packages for the complete product lifecycle. This allows
customers and resellers alike to experience the best possible protection and
optimal uptime.
Sustainability at Heart
Eco
design has grown into an important strategic focus point for Barco striving
towards more sustainable solutions. The next generation of our Barco UniSee
series, succeeded in obtaining the Barco Eco Product label, following our
stringent ISO14021 compliant eco-scoring methodology.
“Barco is an innovation-driven market leader. This makes us
push the benchmark every time in designing solutions that address the market
demands for next-generation solutions. With an improved colour performance
under wide viewing angles and proprietary local dimming technology enhancing
local contrast and reducing power consumption, Barco UniSee is the preferred
next-generation eco-label product, be it for smart cities management, meeting
rooms, broadcast studios, to name a few. With a gold standard in product design
the UniSee portfolio reiterates our commitment towards ensuring bright outcomes
across all enterprises,” added Olivier Croly, Senior Vice President, Barco
APAC.
The next generation high-brightness Barco UniSee will start
shipping from July 2021 onwards.
