Barco LiveDots, a Barco company, announce a new addition to its renowned C-series of LED displays

Kortrijk, Belgium, 9-4-2013 — /europawire.eu/ — Barco LiveDots, a Barco company, is proud to announce a new addition to its renowned C-series of LED displays. The brand-new C8 shares its high-class image processing, flexible software and easy-to-use peripherals with the other C-series LED displays. Offering a pixel pitch of 8.33 mm and 5,000 nits brightness, this outdoor LED display has been specifically designed for versatile use in the rental and staging industry and for fixed installations.

“We are proud to announce the fifth member of the C-series family which takes the renowned image quality of the other C-series LED displays outdoors,” says Joost De Frene, Product Manager at Barco LiveDots. “What really differentiates the new C8 LED display from similar products in the market is that we raised the bar on the outdoor compatibility of this display with our ‘typhoon tested’ quality label. This testing program, developed in-house, not only evaluates the effect of water and dust (the basis for IP rating) on the LED display, it also takes the impact of UV rays, varying temperatures and vibrations into account. In this way, we can offer our customers a truly reliable display that meets the demanding expectations of 24/7 outdoor use and withstands the most severe weather conditions.”

Versatile LED display

Because the C8’s mechanical accessories – such as the truss beams, feet and stacking frame – and image processors are common to the other C-series LED displays, rental companies can use their current inventory to the fullest. Plus, as the Barco proprietary calibration technology is integrated in the display, the C8 is perfectly suited for cross-rental applications and offers a consistent brightness at all times, even over different batches. Another significant feature is its hermetically sealed and fanless design which guarantees ultimate image quality. Thanks to this slim design, the C8 can also easily be integrated in the most challenging setups. Additionally, the display comes with clickable shaders that can simply be replaced in case of damage.

Powerful image processing

The C8 is powered by the DX image processors, which offer high-quality scaling, an unlimited pixel count (by stacking multiple processors), auto redundancy, and 16-bit processing per color. Its electronic backbone is identical to that of the renowned C5 LED display and the C8 can easily be controlled by the remote management software. What’s more, thanks to the optional light sensors and intelligent management services, the brightness of the LED display is adjusted automatically.
