The Dlite displays, specifically designed and developed to be used outdoors and withstand extreme weather conditions, were used on the Jacky Ickx corner, on the first left corner as well as on the finish line. At the Jacky Ickx corner, the race could be seen live on a 50sq.m Dlite 14 display, while both the other displays gracing the course were Dlite 10 displays. "We own almost 400sq.m of Barco’s daylight displays and use it at various high profile events across the world," says Rene de Keyzer, managing director of XL Video. "Both Barco’s Ilite (indoor) and Dlite (outdoor) daylight displays offer us the image quality and system integrity we seek in our equipment. Our clients in turn know they can rely on us for the very best equipment available on the market today."
Gracing the finish line at this year’s Road Racing Championships was another of XL Video’s inventive ways of utilizing the Barco displays. This time, the company used an 11m long truck into which 24sq.m of Barco’s Dlite 10 had been integrated, making it the ideal portable display device. The display itself can be rotated 350° to offer optimal viewing from all angles.
