Barco will showcase its new integrated solution, spanning from the Barco stand (Barco 11-F78 & 11-H75) and connecting to a Vidyo demonstration in stand (2-A42) at ISE 2015 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 10-12 February. This demonstration offers a preview of Barco’s anticipated market release of the solution, with commercial availability by end of first quarter, 2015.
Robust, immersive collaboration integrated with proven VTC capabilities
The strategic alliance between Barco and Vidyo addresses the need for an immersive collaborative visualization solution with integrated telepresence capabilities for high-end collaboration spaces such as executive briefing centers and boardrooms to smaller-scale situation, crisis response rooms and control rooms. The combined solution provides an alternative to hard-wired VTC platforms with limited collaboration features, providing a cost effective, yet easy-to-use platform that facilitates remote collaboration for enhanced decision-making.
The new Barco collaboration system connects natively to Vidyo’s standard portfolio to deliver the experience. Barco’s solution uses Vidyo’s technology to translate the native VTC streams into low-latency, HD-quality multipoint video conferencing images. Users can configure and display multiple, dynamic VTC windows on a large display wall, integrate meeting room collaboration through the ClickShare one-touch, screen-sharing solution, and control source placement and size through Barco’s TransForm C display management software system. The TransForm C user interface runs on Barco’s immersive, seamless OverView OSV Series video wall for high-end collaboration spaces, as well as on the OBLX system, which features the OverView KVD or OVD near-seamless LCD panels for mid-range meeting room environments.
“Vidyo’s strengths in mission-critical video collaboration and high-quality video blend perfectly with Barco’s focus on large-scale visualization to create the ideal, truly immersive collaboration solution,” comments Geert Nuyttens, Product Manager for Barco.
Vidyo native HD and multipoint technology
