Revolutionary LED innovation
Four revolutionary LED advancements give TF-20 a significant advantage over its
competitors. Each of these features alone means you’re dealing with a world-class
product. The combination of them catapults TF-20 into a class of its own.
16-bit processing generates 281 trillion colors for true color in all
ambient conditions. Extra grayscale processing delivers stunning
detail in high or low NIT settings.
7,600 NIT brightness makes TF-20 ideal in any outdoor setting.
Superior components ensure the screen stays brighter longer,
providing 100,000 hours of continuous use.
4,000:1 contrast tempers brightness into sharp, focused images
and easily readable text. “Light trap” shaders protect LEDs from
harm and are field-replaceable if damaged.
Tilted LED configuration directs 26% more light downward for more efficient use
of available brightness, resulting in more targeted light beneath the screen and
improved vertical viewing angles.
World-class image processing
Barco’s world-renowned image processing produces sharp, brilliant images unmatched
by competitors. System Color Signature monitors LED color signature, temperature
thresholds and overall runtime, while component selection and layout minimizes heat
distribution and operating temperature—a holistic approach to visual performance.
DX-700 and D320 digitizers are compatible will all resolutions and aspect ratios,
require no external frame rate conversion and accept both analog and digital inputs.
True Color Reproduction ensures accurate color rendering
and self-adjusting image uniformity during the lifetime of
the tile.
True Motion Reproduction delivers smooth, flicker-free video by enhancing image
signals, minimizing the "smearing" effect inherent in large image magnification.

Environmental responsibility
When it comes to the environment, TF-20 meets or exceeds the latest international
regulations. Green products contain safe components and produce less power,
creating strong community support and sustainable markets.
Power Factor Correction
Found only in high-end LED tiles, PFC reduces mains
harmonics, mitigates electrical impact on power networks
and conserves energy.
Restriction of Hazardous Substances
Meets international RoHS standards, meaning all product
components contain no lead, mercury, cadmium, Cr6, PBB or
PBDE.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Operates in a self-contained field, unaffected by electrical
devices and causing no harm to other devices like cell phones
or medical equipment.
Low power consumption, maximum ROI
Efficient components last longer, produce less heat and require no HVAC, resulting in
considerably less power consumption—significantly reducing cost.
