1 E Modular screen management system

2 Full show control in a single box 4K is a hot topic today and the next big thing in the AV world. Revolutionizing display technology, 4K transforms image quality as we know it delivering four times as much detail as 080p Full HD and offering greater texture and sharper imagery. That s why Barco pushed the envelope to design its ground-breaking 4K screen management system. Excelling in image quality, high I/O density, expandability, and durability, E is the most comprehensive 4K screen management system currently on the market. With performance second to none, E offers video professionals full flexibility to easily manage the most mind-blowing shows all with a single box. Did you know that 90% of the world s events can be controlled with a single E processor? E s expansion links allow management of the other 0% by linking processors together to form a larger, cohesive system. SCALABLE Unmatched performance Built to expand Future-proof modularity Barco s state-of-the-art image processing technology is renowned for its exceptional image quality and low processing latency and E is no exception. With native 4K input and output, E provides impressive pixel processing power. It s the first and only screen management system on the market that can manage a 4K projector blend with refresh rates up to 60 Hz. Whether native or scaled inputs, two connectors or four, this HDCP-compliant system manages it all. With 8 inputs and 4 (eight Program, two Multiviewer and four scaled Aux ), the versatile E offers full show control, including eight independent PIP mixers and a dedicated Multiviewer. E s versatility and flexibility are two more striking features. Thanks to its linkable chassis, the system can easily expand beyond its eight without the need for additional external processing and routing to distribute the signals. And as its inputs and layers can also be expanded, it can even manage a blend of up to 3 4K projectors. Growing as you add, E offers you extensive expansion to manage the most challenging and impressive events with ease. The choice is yours. Featuring modular I/O cards, E provides all the advanced features and future upgradeability a video professional needs. As new signal interfaces become reality, you simply add a new card to E. And thanks to these modular cards and its dual redundant power supplies, E is extremely reliable. This modularity also ensures great serviceability in the field, as users can easily swap a specific input or output card in the case of damage, without having to ship or replace the entire box.

3 Typical applications Rental and staging Touring Broadcast studios Simulation High-end corporate venues EASY SERVICE Straightforward control Roadworthy design Designed for the live event industry, the rugged E features a steel chassis that withstands life on the road. What s more, its compact form factor of only four rack units makes it easy to ship, handle and install. E comes with the EventMaster toolset, a straightforward and cross-platform user interface that runs on a PC or Mac and provides touchscreen ergonomics. The presets are stored on the chassis independent of the GUI enabling easy control via third-party systems. Multiple users can control the system simultaneously, and the API allows third-party developers to create custom control programs and interfaces.

6 What E can do for you As show producers can get really creative, you need to be ready to support the most challenging setups. With the versatile E, you will be able to meet the wildest creative requirements. Here are just a few examples of the wide range of display layouts supported by E: Application * PGM supporting 4K displays (also supports blending) 4K 5 AUX output supporting 4K downstage monitor Dedicated Multiviewer User configurable for inputs and aux Confidence monitor Multiviewer Program preview Sources Application * 8 PGM supporting center screens, each with a -projector blend side LED screens on-stage confidence monitor record output 4 AUX supporting 3 DSM monitors confidence monitor Dedicated Multiviewer User configurable for inputs and 4 Record Confidence monitor Confidence monitor 8 aux aux aux 3 aux 4 DSM Multiviewer DSM Sources * Assuming each output is 080p format 3 Program preview DSM 3

8 Show control made easy E comes with a cross-platform user interface that provides touchscreen ergonomics and ease-of-use. The Event Master GUI enables users to interface with E from a PC or Mac via an Ethernet connection. The program provides a step-by-step approach to configuring, programming, and setting up the dedicated Multiviewer, and managing system functions. The following screen shots show three key screens of the GUI:. System configuration The system configuration screen is the first to appear when you launch the GUI software. Here you can add or remove devices to the selected system and modify their parameters (inputs, backgrounds, and destinations).. Programming screen Use the Programming screen to bring the different elements together and build your show. Here you can define sources for inputs, modify layer attributes like size and border, and create User keys and presets. 3. Multiviewer Use this screen to configure the dedicated Multiviewer, which enables multiple sources (inputs, backgrounds, ) to be displayed on one or two monitors. This menu is also used to set up the Multiviewer.
