Barco's interactive video walls integrated
with Orad's interactive PowerWall solution
Barco and Orad Hi-Tec Systems have announced a new solution
providing real-time backdrop interaction on high-resolution
video wall surfaces. Both companies have collaborated to integrate
Barco's video wall systems and touch screen technology with
Orad's new PowerWall interactive video wall controller and
rendering software.
Larger-surface, higher-resolution backdrops
Barco's OV-D2 video walls have been integrated with Orad's
new PowerWall solution. The PowerWall turnkey system is based
on the industry proven HDVG platform that provides a 4k resolution
output from a single box. PowerWall outputs four separate
1080i SDI signals that can be combined in the video wall environment
to give a total resolution of 3840x2160 pixels or 7680x1080
pixels. The HD outputs are converted into DVI and can be displayed
on a 2x2 high-resolution video wall. On Barco's OV-D2 video
wall systems, each HD output can be further looped through
and scaled across multiple projectors. This means that Orad's
PowerWall can present a framelocked image across a 16-cube
OV-D2 video wall.
Barco's OV-D2 video wall series features the unique Sense6
sensor technology which ensures uniform colors and brightness
over time and across the entire screen. The video wall's high
resolution rear-projection modules support 3200 K color temperature
to match with the studio lighting. They provide excellent
on-camera performance with full GenLock capability and offer
wide viewing angles for maximum flexibility of camera positions.
Interaction on high-resolution backdrops
Barco's OVTS-50 display wall touch system has also been combined
with Orad's PowerWall interactive Module. The combination
of both products will allow presenters to better interact
with high-resolution backdrop content, for example by triggering
animations.
Barco's OVTS-50 Display Wall Touch System features high-precision
touch screen technology from SMART Technologies which enables
intuitive finger tip interaction on large-area video wall
content. The technology is an add-on product integrated at
the bottom of the video wall screen.
The OVTS-50 system delivers unmatched accuracy and responsiveness
and ensures real-time interaction on Barco's 50-inch video
wall cubes.
