Barco’s SP-10 is the only Perimeter solution in the Sports Market
that is optimized for broadcast. With a very high refresh rate
(2000Hz), the image is much more stable and there is no loss
of visual information when using the camera for broadcasting.
The capability to automatically implement color calibration, to
adjust the color temperature, gamma settings etc. of the
display allows you to obtain a perfect image for broadcasting.
Digitally rendered content contains no motion blur typical for standard film.
While a standard film rate of 30 frames per second creates “jump” effects
visible to the eye in fast action animation, Barco’s 60 frames per second
delivers extremely smooth content.
Imagine having 9,646 LEDs per square meter, a contrast ratio
of 1000:1 and a calibrated brightness level of 5,000Nits, and
you will understand why Barco offers ultimate image quality.
Barco understands the needs of broadcasting & large audience
visualisation like no other. Barco is unique in offering
automatic sun brightness calibration. This ensures that the
quality of image which appears on television is not impacted
by the position of the sun, shadows on the display or loss of
brightness due to direct sun impact.
Thanks to Barco’s knowledge in the broadcast market, the
solution is proven future proof and compatible with new
standards emerging in the broadcast market.

Smart Management of the Content on the Perimeter
Barco’s content control software is specifically designed to
display content on long ribbons, without stretching, mirroring
or tiling the content. No inflexible & time-consuming pre-
rendering stage is necessary, which gives the owner full
control and a low cost of operation. Therefore clubs and stadiums
can offer the very best to their loyal sponsors and advertisers,
as content will travel the full arena without duplication or
interruption.
Barco offers state-of-the-art perimeter advertising control
Software (XVS-2). A user-friendly GUI and workflow will
make sure you can get the most out of your perimeter solution.
Dedicated sports software allows you to schedule commercials,
animations and team logos on your perimeter display. The
system supports a wide range of content formats and makes
it very easy to organize the sequence of animations you want
to show to your audience.
The display layout module allows for unlimited channels of
any size containing any sequence of mixed file types. Channels
may be grouped so that a single change affects multiple areas
of the displays simultaneously.
channel 1 channel 2 channel 1 channel 2
Enjoy Live interaction! With a single click any content can be
displayed with less than 0.5 second response time and create
moments of exclusivity when the need arises.
Content creation becomes very simple with Barco’s SP-10
thanks to special drawing tools, customizable color palettes and
real-time data template creation.
A wide range of effects is possible, such as “fades”, “dissolves”
and “wipes” from any side of the perimeter. On top of that, all
characteristics of the effects can be changed, such as run time,
color, fill amount, spacing, etc.
Content can also be changed on the fly without the need for
pre-rendering.
The SP-10 includes special control & diagnostics software to
fully manage, control and diagnose every item of the display
hardware (e.g. internal temperature monitoring) from a
remote location.
Whatever your demanding advertising partners require, is
possible with Barco’s SP-10.
Rugged & reliable
The SP-10 is completely IP65 approved (front & back) to
ensure long-term reliability in a harsh stadium environment
(water, dust, grass clippings, etc.).
The Sports Perimeter Solution is a
rugged display, yet safe for the
players. To protect against impact
of ball or other projectiles of sup-
porters, the shaders of the LED dis-
plays are made from very solid and
strengthened material that protect
the display. Additionally, the outer
shell of the shaders is made of a
soft material and has rounded
edges to protect players should
they come in to contact with the
display.

Special roll-out mechanics of the SP-10 guarantee easy handling and
quick installation on the pitch.
Individual displays are transported together in one trolley and a unique
railing system optimises installation time. Once the display is in the right
position on the pitch, two holders pull out on the back to fix the display
in the right location. The display can then be adjusted to the right viewing
angle. Set-up of a full soccer pitch can be done in four hours.
The SP-10 is designed for optimal serviceability using standard “plug-
in” components and modules. Furthermore, Barco is known for its World
Wide service network, enabling our local partners to provide the best
and most specialized knowledge needed.
Recognised as one of the leading suppliers in the Sports Visualisation
market, Barco is proud of its wide range of high impact installations
