ISIS
2K x 2K large size LCD display
for Air Traffi c Control

Innovative visualization
technology for safe and effi cient
Air Traffi c Control
With global air traffi c growing denser every day, air traffi c
controllers are faced with tough challenges in keeping the
airspace safe and effi cient.
Drawing on its long-standing expertise with Air Traffi c
Management technology, Barco has created ISIS, a true large
screen 2Kx2K LCD main display for ATC controller working
positions. Since its introduction, ISIS has become the world’s
leading square display both in new installations and as a direct
replacement for the Sony DDM CRT display. Constantly updated
with the latest technological advancements, ISIS is the number
one visualization solution for today’s and tomorrow’s Air Traffi c
Control.

The 4 MegaPixel LCD displays and graphics controllers of the ISIS family combine
performance, low life cycle cost, user comfort and an open system environment into
an innovative visualization architecture.
ISIS always features the latest LCD panel technologies presenting an ergonomic,
lightweight solution for ATC controller workstation positions. Its high-bright screen
presents more detailed information, offers enhanced user comfort and counteracts
eye-fatigue. Moreover, ISIS displays have an extremely low life cycle cost: they do not
need regular adjustments and replacing their backlight tray is less expensive and time-
consuming than changing a traditional Cathode Ray Tube.
The display’s low weight, low power, small volume, high brightness and mechanical
flexibility provide control center designers with a new degree of freedom to reduce
plant costs and improve operator comfort and performance.
Low life cycle cost 2K x 2K LCD display
Why choose ISIS?
• Excellent visual
performance
• Widest effective viewing
angle available
• Low life cycle cost
• Stable light output
over time
• Artifact-free images
thanks to APA technology
• Flexible and user-friendly
design
• Barco’s expertise thanks to
worldwide installed base

Multi-functional design for ATC controller workstation positions
High-performance display system
The 4.2 MegaPixel, 20” x 20” ISIS flat panel main display exceeds the specifications
imposed by the ATC community, resulting in crisper and more detailed images that
remain stable over time. The enhanced LCD brightness and the largest effective
viewing angle present users with detailed information, even in difficult ambient light
conditions.
Lowest life cycle cost
ISIS offers breakthrough LCD technology at the lowest life cycle cost available and an
investment cost even lower than traditional CRT-based working positions. The displays
feature four field-replaceable backlight trays. If one of the backlights fails, the image
remains completely readable, a must for safe image interpretation. Replacing these
backlight trays costs substantially less than replacing a complete CRT picture tube.
The ISIS LCD panels can be instantly mounted, easily interfaced and do not require
regular adjustments after installation. Moreover, ISIS guards the health and lifetime
of its backlight assembly. This information can be accessed on a periodic basis by
maintenance personnel to plan routine backlight replacement or re-lamping. Built-
In-Testing functionality and versatile remote connectivity make it possible to use
the optional CHECKUP! maintenance software to schedule proactive maintenance for a
network of ISIS displays from one central location.
ISIS has been designed with a highly efficient power supply (greatly reducing heat
output) and an intelligent backlight system (calibrating the light output of all ISIS
displays). As a result, the LCD display takes considerably less console space and needs
only 30% of the cooling of a traditional CRT display.
With the worldwide installed base of ISIS and Barco’s long-term commitment for
Integrated Logistics Support, ISIS is the best choice for your project.

CRT compatibility
Barco considers the large investment the ATC community has made in 2048 x 2048 CRT
displays in the past. ISIS provides mechanical, visual, and electrical compatibility with
these displays to allow easy integration into consoles designed for CRTs or replacement
of CRTs in existing consoles. An analog interface, identical to the one used for CRT
displays, is available and the compatible RS-422 BITE port provides protocol emulation.
Moreover, the mechanical footprint of ISIS is smaller (although the viewing area is
identical), allowing it to be adapted to existing mechanical structures.
Although the ISIS LCD is truly digital, conversion of analog video into a digital image
occurs with a high degree of accuracy, eliminating digital sampling artifacts thanks to
Barco’s unique Automatic Phase Adjust (APA) technology.
Open architecture
The ISIS family offers a lightweight, low-depth, ergonomic solution that can easily be
installed into both new and existing ATC workstations. The ISIS architecture has been
designed to keep its functionality over time.
The open system approach makes it possible to connect any high-quality (2K x 2K)
graphics controller and change from analog to digital input at any point in time,
thus securing your initial investment. Mechanical adaptation kits are available as an
option.

Chassis version
MDP 471/CH
The chassis version has been especially
designed for integration into workstations
with rear side mounting. The OSD control
unit can be purchased separately and
can be built in into the console.
Panel-mount version
MDP 471/PM
The panel-mount version, equipped
with bezel and OSD control unit, features
front side mounting.
Desktop version
MDP 471/DT
The desktop version, with a user-friendly
tilt and swivel base, has been styled for
use on office desks.
VESA-mount version
MDP 471/VM
The VESA-mount version includes a rear
cover and tilting arm with standard 100
mm VESA-interface. The kit can be used

Input options
The ISIS flat panel has up to three module bays, which can be filled with analog or DVI
input boards (with maximum one analog board). These input boards process the im-
age data received from analog and DVI 2K x 2K graphics controllers.
The modular ISIS architecture can be expanded with multiple input boards to provide
redundancy or a stepped upgrade of an existing system. Automatic switchover and
manual selection (OSD or remote) are provided.
CHECKUP! ISIS maintenance software
