True color reproduction & authentic video quality
The ILite display products incorporate Barco’s proprietary LED
System Color Signature, True Color Reproduction™ and True
Motion Reproduction technology, which ensure accurate color
uniformity and smoother, flicker-free video. Whether it is used
for image magnification or for data content, the ILite display
products offer the perfect picture over the lifetime of the dis-
play.
Barco’s True Color Reproduction
Technology ensures color accuracy and
consistancy across the entire screen and
over time
• System Color Signature
Monitors individual LED
color signature, overall
runtime and temperature
thresholds
• True Color Reproduction
Barco’s expertise in color
processing ensures that
an extensive range of
colors can be shown and
adjusted to PAL/NTSC
standards or beyond.
• Advanced 14-Bit Processing
Both the ILite 6 XP and ILite 3 feature advanced 14-bit proces-
sing, which results in even greater color depth and uniformity,
allowing the displays to show vibrant images with even deeper
and more uniform colors across the entire surface of the display.
The extra processing power also provides more grey-scales, a
critical requirement when displays are used at low brightness
levels such as found in broadcast applications.
• Pixel Based Motion Compensation
For fast moving items without motion blur.
Achieving perfection in image quality and system reliability
Fully engineered and manufactured by Barco,
the ILite offers the most advanced in LED display
technology and design quality. An extremely
stringent selection of the LED components together with
Barco’s extensive experience in image processing guarantees
ultimate picture quality, colour uniformity and total system reli-
ability.
The ILite indoor LED display range, available in 3mm, 6mm,
8mm and 10mm resolutions, offers the perfect solution for
generating the ultimate picture in all bright indoor environ-
ments. The ILite display range offers many benefits not found
in other display technologies.
Unequalled brightness & extreme viewing angles
Using state-of-the-art SMD LED technology, the Barco ILite range
offers a high resolution display delivering high brightness, even
at extreme viewing angles. Half of the full brightness is still
perceived at viewing angles of 145 degrees from the surface of
the display. The ILite products also offer an extreme fill factor,
which delivers perfect images at viewing distances as short as
3 meters (10 feet)!

Durable and reliable
• Endurance tested LED modules
All Barco’s LED modules conform to the highest engineering
standards and are endurance tested to ensure maximum sys-
tem integrity.
• Advanced heat management system
Each LED module is purpose build to minimize internal heat
build-up by inclusion of an advanced heat management sys-
tem.
The system encompasses heat sinks, heat sensors and internal
fans, ensuring that the tile’s components always operate
even at high temperatures.
• Ultimate system reliability
Barco’s integrated quality control approach in both component
sourcing & manufacturing as well as product design ensures
a quality product that delivers a secure long-term investment.
Flexibility through modularity
• Flexibility and seamless images

flexibility and truly seamless images each and every time
you erect your display.
• Ease of configuration
Barco’s built-in intelligence allows the system to configure
itself regardless of the shape, size or aspect ratio. Video or
data content can come from a variety of sources without
having to undergo unnecessary scaling.
• Ease of service
State of the art mechanical design allows ease of servicing of
modules while the same built-in “intelligence” enables auto-
configuration and hot-swap of tiles without interrupting the
performance of the display, guaranteeing minimum down-
time to repair the display.

Barco’s ILite displays are controlled by an advanced image con-
trol system which includes Barco’s range of D320 digitizers and
its proprietary XLite toolset software, allowing you to display
and control your display content at the simple touch of a but-
ton.
Transport of the data stream from digitizer to display is via a
standard data cable. If the display is some distance away from
the source /digitizer, the data is transmitted by means of a
high-speed fiber-link, which transmits up to 1.2 Gigabits per
second.
Powerful D320 processor platform
Barco’s D320 digitizer delivers advanced image processing that
allows the display to accept a multitude of data and video sour-
ces.
•Four interchangeable input modules per D320
• Stackable an infinite number of times, allowing up to
4 sources to be displayed on as many screens as there are
digitizers in the stack.
• Capable of being daisy-chained to a maximum of 64 units,
allowing 256 sources to be displayed on a single screen.
• Combinations of stacking and daisy-chaining possible.
• Input formats mixed as required, while each source can
also be individually scaled.

Powerful processing & user-friendly control
Scaling/compressing capability of the Barco D320 digitizer and
the ‘distributed processing’ concept assure compatibility with
all resolutions and aspect ratios. Due to the Lock-mode functio-
nality, no external frame rate conversion is required, thereby
eliminating the risk of artifacts.
Barco’s D320 digitizer also allows for various on-screen image
manipulations, including chroma-keying, alpha-blending, zoo-
ming and more.

Advanced installation and control software
Barco’s XLite Toolset is an integrated software package, which
provides you with a user-friendly, intuitive, graphical interface
for fast installation, system calibration as well as layout confi-
guration and control of your display.
•Installation & calibration
The XLite software makes installation and calibration of your
display system as easy as can be.
In a number of easy steps your LED display will be automati-
cally configured and calibrated for optimal installation and
superior image quality.
Each display generates and maintains its own database,
which includes specific information on each of the individual
tiles, such as its unique “System Color Signature”, including
serial number and operating hours. With this information the
tiles can easily be calibrated for color uniformity across the
entire display.
•Layout configuration & control
The XLite toolset also provides user-friendly system configu-
ration as well as layout configuration and control.
An extensive range of image controls and adjustments are also
available to the end user for various types of input signals.
These include:
• Full control over equalization
• Filters
• Tint
• Saturation
• Luma Tracking
• Luminance Delay
• Dynamic Stabilizer
• Clip to Sub-black (removing black wash-out)
• Full control of Gamma Curves.
• Maintenance & monitoring
The status of the display is constantly monitored by the XLite
toolset.
This diagnostic capability tracks any potential errors that may
occur inside a tile and typical environmental changes such as
temperature, power drops, etc.
Sources can be arranged (‘Z’ order) in any order, up to 64 layers.
Each source can be made invisible, have color values adjusted, and trans-
parency adjusted.

which includes sturdy flightcases, rugged rental structures and
various mounting or set-up devices.
• Rugged rental structures
ILite modules come with rugged rental structures, which
allow the tiles to be clicked together simply and quickly to
form a seamless display in no time.
• Easy set-up and tear-down
With its specially engineered truss beams and foot systems,
Barco’s LED displays are purpose built for fast, easy set-up
and repeated relocations.
•TUV safety certified rental structures and accessories
All Barco’s rental mechanics comply with the highest TUV
standards, providing you with complete peace of mind that
your installations meet the highest safety standards.
Fully cross-rentable
As part of Barco’s total rental solution, the ILite LED modules
are fully cross-rentable, allowing you to maximise the return on
your investment.
• Each tile features Barco’s proprietary True Color
Reproduction System and System Color Signature™
technology, which ensure true color rendering of the
display from delivery through the entire lifetime of the
display.
• This technology also allows you to mix and match tiles
of different batches and various run-time ages to obtain
a seamless display with a perfect image every single
time.
• Each individual LED within each cluster has its color
characteristics and brightness robotically measured at
Barco’s factory before being installed on an EEPROM on
each tile.
• Every time a wall in erected, the information stored in
the EEPROM is read by the D320 digitizer as its processes
and distributes the signal to the display.
• Each individual LED then undergoes individual color and
brightness corrections to ensure a uniform image across
the entire display.
