Improve business efficiency
while lowering total cost-of-ownership

Projector costs don’t end after the
unit is delivered. There is an
ongoing cost of ownership
that must be considered
before any projector
purchase.
As a projector is only part of a total
solution, its impact on other items
(sources: DVD, V R, P ; switches;
videoconferencing systems) will also
have impact on the Total ost of
Ownership (T O) of the complete
system.
Network centric visualization:
faster Return-On-Investment
•Time spent connecting devices
•
Time and money spent to display multiple sources
•Time and money spent traveling to meetings
•Time and money spent on onsite IT/AV support
•Money spent due to wastage
Eliminate hidden costs
of inefficient collaboration
One of the major costs is often
unseen and uncalculated
indirect costs caused
by lack of efficiency
in a visualization
system. M any senior
staff members and highly
skilled experts lose
precious time in dealing
with connectivity and
support issues.

Unrivalled network
centric visualisation
solutions
Difficult connectivity, audible noise,
degradation of specifications, poor
lifetime of components may cause
additional costs and inconvenience. A
more prevalent and underestimated
cost is the need for dedicated onsite
AV support and maintenance.
With more than 1000 engineers
worldwide, Barco invests in virtually
all available display technologies for
dedicated applications in high
demanding markets.
Reduced environ-
mental and peripheral
requirements
Dedicated built-in server
Barco’s network centric visualisation
solutions have a dedicated built-in
server, so no external P is required to
connect into the network. This direct
connection to the network eliminates
the need for expensive RGB cabling
and external switching equipment.
All visual information sources can
be brought to the network
Data can be retrieved from the LAN,
while video-content can be streamed
over the net, so on-site V R or DVD
players and connecting hassles are
omitted and one does not have to
figure out the compatibility of
components. New sources can be
added anytime, wherever located.
Campus environments can easily be
expanded, at little or no cost.
Sources
Most of the classical sources can be
replaced with network and software
solutions but, if required, existing
hardware can still be used.
Cabling
onnecting to the network is clean
and easy. Less cabling means fewer
complexities and errors, which results
in reduced APEX.
Interfaces and matrix switchers
Due to the modularity of the inputs,
the need for matrix switchers will be
the exception. When the display is
used in its network centric application,
no interface is required.
Control system
The Desktop Integration replaces most
of the control system functionalities
with a more convenient and familiar
user interface.
Software development for user
interfaces
There is no requirement for any con-
trol system software development
(reduced APEX in case of using net-
worked sources instead of classical
sources)
Labor for installation and start-up
Labor is a fraction of the cost com-
pared to installing a classic system.
Lower
Capital
Expenditure
Less cables, less switchers,
less peripherals, less remotes,
less maintenance,
less interventions, less costs
The use of over-specified components (e.g.
larger LCD panels, more efficient fans and an
adapted housing ensure an optimum heat
dissipation) multiply lifetime and reduce
maintenance interventions.
Immediate access to all sources and files
through the familiar Windo s™ XP interface,
by simply using mouse and keyboard.

Easy integration
As Barco’s network centric visualiza-
tion solution is IP driven, it can easily
be integrated into any existing IT net-
work.
SNMP compatible
Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) allows the IT depart-
ment to use their current software
package to monitor all IP devices,
including the network centric visuali-
zation devices (i on, iQ PRO, Solaris
PRO) at various locations. This instant
integration saves time in installing
and using multiple software packages.
Open ActiveX support
ommunicating over a LAN to the net-
worked visualization device has been
made easy by the ActiveX support.
This open toolkit allows functions of
the projector to be integrated with
any system and to define extra user-
interfaces for the customized applica-
tions.
Efficient system and
asset management
The network centric projector becomes
just another device managed on and
via the network:
•The network manager can use the
network to monitor projector use
and performance.
•Dedicated software enables the
support staff to setup, manage, and
monitor many projectors from a
central point.
•Periodically or on-demand, the soft-
ware collects data on projector
power on/off conditions, lamp life,
display settings, and current use
status.
•entral management also allows for
a more transparent inventory and
depreciation.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
All sites centrally managed,
delivering greater productivity
for AV/IT staffs.

Central remote management
and monitoring
With Barco’s network centric visualisa-
tion solution, all visualisation sites can
be remotely managed and monitored
from a central location. This consider-
ably reduces the costs for training and
for dedicated IT and AV specialists for
first line assistance.
Lower maintenance costs
Power and replacement lamp costs
are lower since a projector detected as
on and not in use can be turned off
remotely. User support costs less since
most user questions can be addressed
over the network without dispatching
an AV tech to the projector site.
