Duluth, Ga. USA - 28 January 2015 - Barco, a global leader in collaborative visualization systems, continues to make strides in empowering companies to connect their enterprise with a host of systems designed to enhance critical information and situational awareness. At DistribuTECH 2015, attendees will experience first-hand how to improve decision-making in 24/7 T&D enterprises by visiting Barco at booth #1539, from Feb 3-5 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.

Barco has developed an integrated suite of video walls, collaboration software and high-speed controllers to more effectively capture, display, and share dynamic perspectives of data and video among control room operators and decision-makers wherever they may be located. Designed with high performance and low total cost of ownership in mind, these products will be presented by Barco at the DistribuTECH show this month:

Remote decision-making made easy
Barco solutions converge distributed sources of critical operational information by visually connecting control centers, situation and meeting rooms, handheld/mobile devices - irrespective of physical location - to enable true, distributed decision-making. Users can securely share perspectives to field dispatch teams at the click of a button.

Smart convergence of IT and OT situational awareness
Proven, mission-critical software solutions from Barco offer a distributed common operational picture to enhance collaboration and situational awareness! Barco's CMS software (Control Room Management software suite) helps connect IT and OT information sources, providing real-time social media trends on developing situations to empower decision-makers with the latest intelligence.

Smarter design, best images - and no gaps!
Barco's OverView OL-721LED-lit video wall for mission-critical control rooms offers an ergonomically excellent viewing experience and high redundancy in a long-lasting, energy-efficient module. Unique "NoGap" technology provides a complete, detailed and unbroken view of EMS data for an accurate common operational picture without disruptive seams between screens.

The ultimate visual collaboration experience
Everything about the new OverView KVD552155" near-seamless LCD video wall has been optimized for maximum image quality and minimal TCO. Barco's unique SenseX automatic color and brightness calibration system guarantees perfect across-the-wall color balance. The  optional redundant remote power supply system moves power away from the LCD wall to the rack and provides 24/7 mission critical redundancy.
