Barco visionaries are saddling up for the exciting ride to InfoComm, sharing their insights on how we’re helping our customers provide their clients with the best possible show experience. Join us on the Road to InfoComm as we explore hot topics and provide a glimpse of what’s to come at the show.

Today’s groundbreaking live events demand versatile technology
In the ever-changing world of live events, one thing remains certain: you can’t predict the future. But you can prepare for it, IF you have the right gear, designed with the utmost flexibility and the long view in mind. That’s the philosophy that continues to drive Barco’s image processing technology roadmap, making us the leader in the industry, with show control and presentation switchers that offer the highest reliability, versatility and performance in the market.

Modularity and future-proofing go hand in hand
The Event Master’s modular architecture provides a flexible foundation that not only accommodates current video interfaces, but can easily adapt to future requirements, whatever they may be. As new interface standards and higher resolutions are adopted, new interface cards can be added to the system. And, with 32 inputs and 14 outputs, our E2 offers twice the number of inputs and outputs as the competition. For bigger events, units can be linked to create larger systems with even more inputs and outputs. That’s a lot of extra capacity designed in for whatever comes around the corner.

Today’s high-profile entertainment acts are pushing the boundaries of innovation in live show design with large-scale visualization. With colossal live events featuring more and bigger displays, as well as higher resolutions to leverage the arrival of 4K projection and large, small-pitch LED displays, the Event Master family of image processors has been designed for easy expandability to accommodate these growing requirements. On the corporate side, giant, blended panoramas are becoming the norm for CEO presentations and global product launches by the likes of LG and Proximus. And, at the other end of the spectrum, even small- to mid-size companies and venues are seeking ways to flex their creative muscle and dazzle media-savvy audiences.

Customization: the key to a right-size box for any application
With all the different shapes and sizes of events across the landscape, we’ve come to understand a single great truth that makes both Barco and our customers successful: customization. Since the beginning, our number one design criterion has been modularity, which is what allows us to build image processing solutions that can be easily adapted to a wide range of customer needs, emerging signal interface standards, and continually increasing resolution and bandwidth options.

Choices are the solution
It all starts with our Event Master series – a modular concept that leverages all of our smart technologies in a single box. From our standard configurations of the power-packed E2 to the smaller compact S3 4K, our growing family of switchers suits a myriad of events and applications. But thanks to the Event Master’s modularity, customized product configurations can also be easily provided, delivering the perfect combination of performance and affordability. You get everything you need, just the way you want it, and nothing you don’t need. So whether you’re producing a worldwide top-tier music tour, a national sales kick-off meeting, a spiritual program, or a tradeshow seminar, Barco has a right-size solution that packs all the power and durability needed for instant access to critical functions, sources, presets, layers, and destination selection at your fingertips.

With standard and customized configurations of our products, our goal is to give customers a choice – because in the events and Pro AV industry, “choices” will always be the best solution.
