Barco (Kortrijk, Belgium) is announcing a new line of LED-lit, DLP-based video walls with an improved LED engine. The new OVL range reaches a brightness level that is 20% higher than any competing system, without shortening the projection system’s lifetime, the company states. The OVL video wall range is offered in 4:3 ratio, with screen sizes up to 80 inches.
The new series’s advanced, heat-management system is based on liquid-cooling technology, which lowers the LED temperature to an optimal level. This lengthens the projection-system lifetime, amounting to 80,000 hours of continuous operation in eco-mode – or a 35% improvement over competing video walls, the company states.
Thanks to the OVL’s new LED engine, offering higher brightness and higher efficiency, the use of larger screens has become possible. The OVL range therefore includes an 80-in. video-wall system with seamless screens, which is suitable for utilities applications. An additional benefit over smaller screens is the 80-in. OVL’s high mean time between failures.
Barco’s OVL rear projectors come with the Sense6 sensor technology, which coordinates across multiple, rear-projection modules to provide brightness and color stability over time and across the entire video-wall screen. The OVL continuously measures and adjusts color and brightness in real time and requires no maintenance or manual adjustments, according to the company.
