"Our LED product range consists of three platforms covering a wide spectrum of applications. The X-series is our premium product line, offering unprecedented image quality; the T-series is dedicated to 24/7 operation for branding and advertising applications where total cost of ownership is key; while the C-series is our mid-end offering, providing Barco image quality at an attractive pricepoint for both event and permanent installations," says Carl Rijsbrack, CMO of Barco LiveDots. "We are happy to introduce a new product for each of these platforms - this will enable us to meet our customers' needs even better."
The cross-rentable CX-8 is billed as the first true high-resolution outdoor LED display for the rental and staging industry. Thanks to its modular design and low weight, the CX-8 is simple to install and service. It features auto-calibration and auto-redundancy. Furthermore, its sea-worthy standard makes the CX-8 suitable for cruise ship installations, in addition to event and retail applications.
The C5 is the latest addition to the C-series. A 5.5mm pitch black face indoor LED display for rental and fixed install, the C5 offers a 10% resolution premium over established 6mm products on the market. Other significant technical features include a flown weight of less than 40 kg per m², integral concave and convex curving, no fans (resulting in silent operation) and, Barco's network-to-network interface, which allows full integration with the DX-700 processing unit.
The Digital City Posters are part of Barco's T-series and come in two variants: the DCP-0710 has a surface area of 6.8 m² and a resolution of 300x216 pixels, while the DCP-0810 has a surface area of 8 m² with a resolution of 320x240 pixels.
