Guarantee and Compensationntee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee.
On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as
well as for material and manufacturing faults. Barco must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on
the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of
complaint, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period.
If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase
price or cancellation of the contract (redhibition). All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for
direct or indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services
provided by Barco, being a component of the system or independent services, will be deemed invalid provided
the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the intent
or gross negligence on the part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on good delivered by Barco, or if the goods
are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned or operated incorrectly or if, after the
transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the
purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are attrib-
uted to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e. g. interfaces. Normal wear as well
as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in this manual must
be complied with by the customer.

Never open the case of the unit without first disconnecting the power supply cord!
• To prevent fire or electrical shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture!
• This product should be operated from an A power source!
• This unit may be connected to an IT power system!
• heck that the voltage and frequency of your power supply match those printed on the device label with the
rated electrical values!
• If you are not sure of the type of A power available, consult your dealer or local power company!
• This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounDo not defeat the purpose of the ground-

cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the
set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
• Lightning - For extra protection for this video product during a lightning storm or when it is lift unattended

This chapter gives an overview about the features of ARGUS.

2. Summary
Barco – Argus Workstation for Windows – DOC-3266-2 – Revision 06 – Apri 2004 __________________________________________________________________________ 2-2
2.1 Properties
ARGUS was designed to control large, modular OVERVIEW display walls. Its multi-screen capability allows you to
control displays of up to 80 projection modules. The display area is one logically connected display. Digital imag-
ing devices based on modern technologies such as Single L D, DLP™ and Poly-Silicon L D with the highest dis-
play quality are controlled digitally. Digital data transfer is immune to electrquality are controlled digitally. Digital data transfer is immune to electromagnetic interference and therefore
ensures the display wall picture to be displayed in absolutely distortion free image quality. Analog monitors and
projectors can also be controlled by ARGUS using the optional analog output. Thus, multi-monitor operator stations
can be ergonomically designed and easily implemented.
(DLP is a trademark of Texas Instruments Incorporated)
The hardware and software of ARGUS is based on world-wide accepted standards. ARGUS offers the following ex-
ceptional capabilities:
• High performance graphics output using the most modern processor and chip technologies
• Supports current LAN and WANWAN interfaces
• Graphic and video outputs in high color quality
• Video in a window, up and down scaleable up to full-screen
• Unlimited, overlapping and freely moveable video and graphics windows
• Up to 64 videos on one to four projection modules.
• Each video and RGB window has its own assignment of color depth.B window has its own assignment of color depth.
Figure 2-1
48 channel ARGUS
The ARGUS system provides a flexible and scalable architecture, which is suitable to support all sizes of display
walls. It consists of an ARGUS PRO ESSOR that controls up to five ARGUS OMNIBUS devices depending on the Wall Size.
Smaller systems up to 36 projection cubes can be set up with an ARGUS PRO ESSOR and a single OMNIBUS. For larger
display walls with multiple video or RGB sources the system can easily be expanded with up to 5 GB sources the system can easily be expanded with up to 5 OMNIBUS de-
vices.

2. Summary
Barco – Argus Workstation for Windows – DOC-3266-2 – Revision 06 – Apri 2004 __________________________________________________________________________ 2-3
Independent on the amount of OMNIBUS devices, both the user and the application software »see« one single
display. Installation, operation and service do not differ from that of a standard Windows NT workstation or a
Windows 2000 workstation r000 workstation respectively.
ARGUS is the perfect solution for the integration of video and RGB sources into desktop graphic data into digitally
controlled display walls. However graphics only systems support also analog display connection.

Next to the air supply openings [1] there is the handle of the filter mounting [2].
In the center of the standard case there are three buttons. The upper one is the restart button [3], the one in the
middle is the lock keyboard switch [4], that serves to enable or disable keyboard input and the lower one is the
power button [13]. The two LEDs next to the switches indicate LEDs next to the switches indicate hard disk drive operating [7] respectively
power on [8].
The case for redundant operation additionally has a buzzer reset button for power module failure [5], which is
located on the top leftmost position. The restart button [3] is located between the lock keyboard switch [4]
and the power button [13] instead. On the front there is also an additional LED, indicating power module
failure [6].
On the right hand side there is the floppy disk drivk drive [9], followed by the D ROM drive [11] and below it the hard
disk drive [10a] or [10b].
