Barco NX--4 User manual

NX Series
The new visual standard
Experience the new visual standard in indoor LED displays Barco's all-new NX
series. With its revolutionary black LED, the NX delivers more contrast and deeper
black levels than any other product on the market. Key advances in base materials,
mechanical design and color processing set NX ahead of the competition for years
to come. No other indoor LED screen comes close.
The true black LED display
NX series:
Phenomenal black levels
4,000+:1 contrast ratio
2,000 NIT brightness
16-bit color processing
Replaceable shaders
Consistent uniformity
High Definition-ready
Modular creativity

Black and bright an elegant contradiction
The striking visual difference of the NX series true black LED is noticeable even before
the screen is turned on: black silicon resin (instead of traditional white epoxy) pro-
duces a sheer black surface; replaceable light trap shaders eliminate ambient
reflection; and ultra black exterior casting blends components into a single, uniform
color. Turn the screen on, however, and discover the real brilliance of the NX series
true black at 2,000 NIT brightness, with a contrast ratio of over 4,000:1.
16-bit color processing
In addition to true black, the NX series
produces 281 trillion other colors as well,
delivering breathtaking new levels of
depth and detail, with a color gamut wider
than HDTV. One look at a Barco NX series
display and you'll know you're experienc-
ing a world-class product at the height of
technological achievement.
NX series maintains 75%
brightness 10,000 hours
after other LED screens
have expired.

Consistent uniformity over time
While most indoor LED systems expire at
50% brightness at 50,000 hours, Barco's
NX series retains 75% brightness at 60,000
hours. Three key advancements pre-empt
the LED aging process:
Advanced LED coloration achieves
higher brightness at lower temperatures,
resulting in less stress and longer life.
Black silicon resin (instead of tradi
tional white epoxy) maintains con
sistency under heat and humidity.
Advanced tri-color calibration and
stricter measuring standards achieve
precision uniformity and extended
endurance.

High Definition-ready
Each NX tile features an 8x9 aspect ratio.
Place two tiles side-by-side and you're
spot-on 16x9. Expand 10 tiles by 20 and
your precise pixel resolution is 1920x1080
the original HD resolution.
DX-700 processor makes NX series shine
Purpose-built as a no compromise system for the NX series, Barco's new DX-700 is
a multi-window processor and versatile digitizer for all current (DVI) and next genera-
tion (NNI) Barco LED platforms. Universal inputs accept DVI (RGB or YCbCr), Dual-DVI
(RGB), Component Analog (RGB or YPbPr), SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and Dual HD-SDI formats.
DX-700 also supports creative configurations and is stackable for larger, complex setups.
Features include:
16-bit processing
10-bit color depth (4:4:4/4:2:2)
Seamless input transition
Preset storage/recall
Comprehensive setup wizards
Motion-adaptive de-interlacing
Digital video effects (freeze, strobe, etc.)
Dynamic contrast enhancement (all inputs)
Input adjustment (saturation, balance, sharpness)
And much, much more!
Connect two tiles for instant 16x9
aspect ratio.
Connect 10 tiles by 20 for perfect
HD resolution.
Nine blocks per tile enable endless
creative set-ups.
4-way data cables link tiles on all
sides for greater reliability, faster
start-up and rapid hot-swap.
Creativity, 4-way data connection, front/back service
Each NX tile separates into nine blocks, enabling endless creative designs. Revolution-
ary 4-way data connection links tiles from all directions (instead of traditional
snaking ) for more robust reliability, faster start-up of large displays, and rapid hot-
swap of tiles (front and back serviceable).
