Dear reader, red. magazine is, from now on, a digital-only edition! Not only does this allow us to fully benefit from the exciting opportunities new media have to offer – including the use of links to further reading material, or the integration of multimedia content – but it also helps us to limit our carbon footprint. Our dedication to the environment is a key aspect of our company’s strategy, and was lauded with the 2012 InfoComm Sustainable Technology award, as you can read further in this magazine.

For this first issue of 2013, we start by looking back. 2012 didn’t bring us the end of the world. On the contrary, it saw the birth of a number of exciting new Barco products. Take ClickShare for example. This revolutionary meeting room technology has quickly become one of our most wanted products, and is bound to change the way people collaborate in meetings forever. We have also seen the growing importance of LEDs as a light source in our products, bringing several key benefits such as lower energy costs and a prolonged lifetime. Today, not only do we have LED walls, control room video walls and LCD displays relying on LED, but even projectors! The use of LED in medical displays – which need to offer the highest possible accuracy of images – clearly shows that this technology has fully matured.

With the ‘Cockpit of the future’ project, we unveil the future of aviation according to Barco – The use of LEDs as a light which means we believe the world will continue to exist after 2013 as well. And with this source in medical displays, positive thought, I leave you to enjoy the rest of this magazine. shows that this technology

Every year, thousands of Star Wars devotees gather in Florida to celebrate the iconic film series, with Lucasfilm hosting an event befitting the enthusiasm of its die-hard fans. For its Star Wars Celebration VI, Barco projection and a MatrixPRO HD-SDI were used on the digital stage to present the ‘Making of…’ Star Wars: Episode II, showing how footage originally shot in 2D was manipulated to create a 3D feature film.

“Working with Barco at Star Wars Celebration VI ensured that our Lucasfilm’s Star Wars saga is the third-highest grossing film series, digital stage had the best possible presentation quality,” comments having catered to a fan base in the millions since the release of the Mary Franklin, Sr. Events Lead for Lucasfilm. “The technical knowledge original Star Wars in 1977, followed by five other films, animated series, of their staff is unparalleled.” video games, books, comics, collectibles and more. Breast imaging with an eye for detail

László Tabár, course director of Mammography Education International, select- ed Barco displays and projection software for his hands-on, breast imaging workshops because of their “reliability, excellent image clarity and consistency under any lighting conditions”.

Accurate projection of large-scale, medical images

The new Conference CloneView software for the projection of medical images onto a large screen has become of vital importance in Dr. Tabár’s classes: “It makes very subtle, difficult- to-detect cancers and micro-calcifications clearly visible on the large screen. I will use this at every course I teach from now on, and would highly recommend it to any medical educator as well as for multi-disciplinary team collaboration in the patient care setting.” Projection mapping How does it work?

Today, projection mapping is omnipresent. It is an impres- sive projection technique that turns virtually any surface – in most cases buildings – into a dynamic display. Thanks to the live animations, projection mapping transforms a building into an eye-popping stage that grabs the atten- tion of onlookers. But how does this technology work? We asked Jack Hattingh from Monster Media 3D and Rob Delfgaauw from NuFormer to unravel the mystery. Rob Delfgaauw, Jack Hattingh, NuFormer Monster Media 3D

What is so revolutionary about projection mapping?

Jack: These days, all kinds of media are competing for people’s atten- tion but projection mapping truly stands out through the clutter, it’s a cool form of advertising with an enormous wow factor that is ideally suited for viral and social media. As the building’s architecture plays the leading role, the building is actually interacting with the spectators and not only grabs the attention, it also compels a large number of viewers to record the experience and post it on the web.

Rob: When people get really captivated by a certain experience they won’t forget it and that is crucial in building brand awareness. Another important aspect is that this experience can easily be multiplied online. Onlookers can simply share the recording of a projection mapping via social media and, in this way, the message reaches an even bigger audience.

The technology is often described as (3D) video mapping, projec- tion mapping and pixel mapping. Is there any difference between all these terms?

Jack: They basically all mean the same but we use ‘projection mapping’ as a general term, when projectors are used to project the images onto irregular surfaces. And as we’re not always using video and we actu- ally map pixels onto a building, ‘pixel mapping’ is probably the correct technical term. How do you start creating content for a projection mapping? Rob: We always visit the location of the projection mapping first. We need to see for ourselves what the building actually looks like. During this site survey we examine several aspects such as: what is the ambi- ent light situation at night? What is the viewing angle of the specta- tors? Does the building have a lot of windows we need to cover with a special foil?

Jack: After creating a 3D model of the building, we start the creative process. What’s important here is that the content has to be fully tuned to the building and its environment, as this is the main actor. Once we’ve poured our creative ideas into a script and storyboard, we can start creating the 3D animations. To do so we use common 3D software such as Maya, Cinema 4D and/or Softimage.

What are the big challenges in creating a projection mapping?

Jack: One of the challenges is aligning the projectors correctly with Rob: Additionally, you need to be able to trust in your equipment, be- the sight lines of the audience. We often need to distort the images or cause if the projectors fail, the whole show ends. That’s why we always use forced perspective to make the projection mapping look right from work with a backup. the viewpoint of the spectators. A building with multiple planes is also challenging. For Caesars Palace we needed to ensure that the parallax between the hotel’s columns and the background area maintained an accurate, seamless perspective from the sweet spot, where the major- ity of the audience was located. Why are Barco projectors especially well suited for projection mapping?

Rob: First and foremost, the Barco projectors are the most reliable projectors I have ever used. They never fail, even in the most severe weather conditions. They also generate premium images with rich colors and the warping feature is very helpful in making our content fit perfectly onto the building.

Jack: True, not one Barco projector has ever failed on me, not even once. I particularly like the HDX-W18 projector because it is compact and easy to stack but still offers sharp, crisp images with a perfect resolution.

And why was the Zierikzee mapping so extraordinary, Rob?

Rob: It was a tryout for our new technology called ‘Mocap Mapping’. ‘Mocap’ stands for ‘motion capture’ and combines 3D video mapping projection with live mo- tion capture. This ensured great interaction between the spectators and the 3D character of Perry projected onto the grain silo. Jack, what was special about the Caesars Palace projection map- ping you created for Barco?

First of all, it was the first projection mapping onto the iconic Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. By bringing in the Barco digital cinema boy with the fireflies, the projec- tion mapping was a subtle form of advertising.

Looking to the future, what will be the next big thing in projec- tion mapping?

Jack: We are adding more and more charac- ter animation to the projection mappings we create. I believe there is also big potential in projection mapping for theme parks as well as permanent art installations. Interactivity will un- doubtedly be the future driving force.

Rob: Interactivity is a trending topic for many applications and I believe it will be the next big thing in projection mapping as well. Related to this, social media will also become more and more integrated into the technology. About Monster Media 3D

Symphony in Red

The annual ‘Symphonica in Rosso’ concert in Arnhem, the Netherlands, is a must-attend event. A spectacular stage, high-quality visuals, special sound and lighting effects, the predominant color red, a classical orchestra and a popular singer/band: together they made for an audience of over 30,000 delighted people this year.

This time around, 12 brand-new, ultra-bright HDQ-2K40 projectors and a Barco Encore system were selected to en- sure seamless image projection onto a transparent screen measuring 72 by 12 meters. ClickShare Meet the one-click wonder

Meetings are often like tapeworms: annoying, far from dynamic, and uncertain in length. Just think about all the time you have lost due to technical difficulties, trying to get the presentation to run smoothly on the large meeting room screen. Now, Barco has the solution: ClickShare!

When you know that 30 million PowerPoint presentations are produced around the world every day, you can imagine how much time – and money – is lost waiting for technicians to get them working properly. ClickShare is Barco’s answer to this inefficiency. This one-click wonder not only helps the presenter get the presentation on-screen in a second, but it also allows other people in the meeting to participate more actively. Result: enhanced meeting efficiency, and better decision-making. How it works

A standard ClickShare set-up consists of four USB devices (the ‘ClickShare Buttons’), a storage basket to neatly store the Buttons when they’re not in use (the ‘ClickShare Tray’), and a Base Unit. The Base Unit has a fixed connection to the meeting room’s visualization system and handles all processing. Users who want to get their presentation on the large meeting room screen simply connect a Button to their PC or MAC, start the application and click … and immediately their desktop is transferred wirelessly to the large visualization system. So, hassles with video cables are a thing of the past. What’s more, ClickShare doesn’t interfere with your laptop’s resolution, and it automatically displays the screen content in the most optimal way.

Collaboration

But there’s more: ClickShare enables other meeting attendees to participate more actively. When they also connect a ClickShare Button to their laptop, they can put their content on-screen as well. Four participants, all told, can be on-screen simultaneously. And because appearances matter as well, we’ve designed ClickShare to make it the eye-catcher of the meeting room. Not only the Buttons, but the Base Unit and the Tray as well, have been carefully designed to couple usability with good looks. This is clearly not just another dull meeting room product, but an attractive device that everybody wants to use.

An easy solution

“When demonstrating ClickShare, we always see a look of recognition in the participants’ eyes,” says Yoav Nir, Business Development Manager for ClickShare. “Everybody knows the frustration of not being able to connect to the meeting room screen, while only having a few minutes to present months of hard work. Finally seeing a solution to that generates a lot of enthusiasm. The true power of ClickShare is that it solves these issues in a very simple way: connect, click, and you’re on-screen. Nothing needs to be installed or configured, and – best of all – it always works. ‘Why don’t we have this yet?’ is the comment we hear most often.”

Double the pleasure

“Since ClickShare’s launch, we have listened to the feedback of users to further improve the product,” Yoav continues. “This included the use of ClickShare with a ‘twin screen’ solution often used in boardrooms. We’ve updated the ClickShare Base Unit, so that now the content of the laptops are optimally divided over two screens. Furthermore, we are launching ClickShare Link - a device that allows you to use an iPad too with ClickShare (by connecting it via a cable or via Apple TV).” ClickShare, as a pioneer The launch of ClickShare ClickShare touches China of meeting collaboration reflects Barco’s (and vice versa) products, will lead the determination for in-depth future development development of the Chinese direction of meeting room professional grade market.

Ward Bohé, Museum curator ” Digital concept

Museum curator Ward Bohé commented: “We wanted a rear-projection system that would ensure uniform, bright images on a medi- um-sized screen, with rich color, even when viewed from some distance away and from different angles. On top of that, the projectors had to be silent, so that they would not disturb the experience of the visitors. And they had to be reliable, of course, to ensure permanent uptime without a fall-off in quality.”

Materializing the concept

Barco partner Maverick ICS was selected for media design and to deliver the projection systems, on account of its countless refer- ences in other Belgium museums, like the Sa- galassos exhibition in Tongeren or the MAS in Antwerp. Maverick deemed the Barco’s RLM- W6 three-chip DLP projectors ideal for use in the large, public exhibition.

Turkey is a country at the crossroads between the Eastern and the Western world. This duality has played a key role in the country’s long and colorful history. We’ll let you discover some of the country’s highlights by spelling its name. But Turkey has a lot more to offer than mere beach leisure. The coun- try has featured prominently in an- Tourism cient history, and has many sites to prove this. Probably the best Sun, sand and sea: it’s what many people associate known example is Cappadocia, an with Turkey. No wonder either, as the country’s area featuring underground cities coastline spans no less than 7,200 kilometers. and buildings carved in rocks. Notably the Turquoise coast, stretching from Bodrum to Antalya and beyond, is popular The remains of the ancient with tourists from all over the world. city of Ephesus, which used to house one of the Seven Won- ders of the Ancient World (the Bodrum Temple of Artemis), can also be visited. The Library of Cel- sius and the Theater are the most visible evidences of the city’s former splendor.

Another veritable magnet for tourists is Istanbul. In 2010, when the city was named European Capital of Culture, Is- tanbul attracted no fewer than seven million visitors, mak- ing it the world’s tenth-most-visited tourist destination. But we’ll disclose more about this great city in the next section. Unpredictable Istanbul, Turkey’s largest and most important city, is a town with a long and very turbulent history. As a result, Istanbul has gone through a multitude of changes, making it one of the most unpredictable and interesting cities in the world.

First of all, the city spans two continents. The historic and economic heart lies in Europe, whereas the Asian side is used more for residential purposes. The city (and the continents) is divided by the Bosphorus, one of the world’s busiest waterways, connecting the Black Sea hinterland with the Sea of Marmara (ultimately leading to the Mediterranean).

Religion plays a key role in the city’s history as well. It was the center of (Orthodox) Christianity from the fourth century onwards. During that era, the famous Hagia Sophia was built, which remained the world’s largest cathedral for a thousand years. When U it was ultimately conquered by the Muslim troops in 1453, the first thing the victorious sultan did was to turn the cathedral into a mosque. Constantinople became the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and a stronghold of Islam.

Moreover, the city was renamed a couple of times. The original name was Byzantium. When the Roman emperor Constantine the Great decided to move the capital, he called the city ‘Nea Roma’ or New Haga Sophia Rome. Use of this name never spread widely, and the common name became Constantinople (City of Constantine). After the conquest by the Ottoman Empire in 1453, it was called Kostantiniyye. This name lasted until 1930, when it was officially changed into Istanbul. This is, however, not an exhaustive list, as there are dozens different names that were used throughout history. Even the ancient Vikings had their own specific name for the city! Roman and Ottoman Empire In 330 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine decided to relocate the eastern capital of the Roman Empire to Byzantium. This event marked the split of the Empire into an Eastern and Western part. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Constantinople took over the torch as the most powerful economic, cultural and military force in Europe. The Empire peaked in the sixth century, when it reconquered much of the historically Roman, western Mediterranean coast, including Italy and Rome itself. However, this strong position did not last, and the Empire’s influence evolved with ups and downs. A decisive blow followed in 1204, when Constantinople was taken by the European crusaders. Although the Empire was restored a few decades later, it never managed to regain its former power.

When the Turkish forces conquered the city in 1453, it marked Rthe end of the Middle Ages. During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, the city kept its importance as a trading hub. A number of noteworthy buildings from this era include the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Spices at the Grand Bazaar – one of Grand Bazaar the largest and oldest covered markets in the world.

Cappadocia Kemalism and economy Modern-day Turkey was founded in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (which means ‘Father of the Turks’). He transformed the old Ottoman Empire into a modern, westernized and secular nation-state. The principles of these reforms on which modern-day Turkey was built, are referred to as Kemalism.

Many of these companies have a new Barco video wall in their control turn to Barco for the visualization of their events. These include Ford, Algida (the Turkish name room, but also Turkish Telekom has invested Kfor Unilever’s Heartbrand of ice cream), and Yürekli (Turkey’s leading training and conference in Barco equipment.

Europe Atatürk established Turkey as a westernized country, and the country is increasingly integrated with the West through membership in organizations such as the Council of Europe, NATO and the G-20. Turkey is also a candidate for full membership of the European Union.

The country has been participating in the Eurovision Song Contest since 1975. This resulted in a victory in 2003, and the right to stage the contest the following year. Barco was the visualization Epartner at that event.

Rize Young Turks Although the average age has moved up slightly in recent years, Turkey has a remarkably young population for a European country. This is a key driver for the economy. Turkey’s prime minister has even said that three children should be the goal for each family.

Rod Stewart’s 1981 hit single ‘Young Turks’ had, in fact, nothing to do with the average age in Turkey. It is slang for “a rebellious youth who acts contrary to what is deemed normal by society”. However, the term ‘Young Turks’ has been used many times throughout history. At the end of the Ottoman Empire (early 20th century), it was the name of a nationalist reform movement in Turkey. A group of military officers called the Young Turks also played a key role in the coups in Thailand during the 1970s and 1980s. Furthermore, it remains a widely spread name in popular culture, with (among other things) an Internet news channel, a novel and a record label using it. Y This young population results in a strong focus on sports. The traditional sport in Turkey is wrestling, but soccer is by far the most popular today. The best-known teams are Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Besiktas. The former put Turkey firmly on the European soccer map by winning the UEFA Super Cup in 2000. Tying with Galatasaray for the number of Turkish titles won is Fenerbahçe, another club from Istanbul. The stadium of that team is one of Europe’s top-rated soccer arenas, and hosted the 2009 UEFA Cup Final. Two high-quality Barco LED displays made sure that all fans – both in the stadium and at home – enjoyed an excellent viewing experience.

In healthcare, all action is at the patient bedside. To support medical staff at the point of care, bedside terminals and mobile devices – like computers on wheels (COWs) and medical tablets – offer real-time access to health information. But which of these is most fit for the job? Does being mobile mean true 24/7 availability?

To ensure continual access to information, COWs and tablets can be wheeled or carried around when moving from one patient to another. But just how mobile are they? Charging computers on carts (usually done in hallways or separate rooms) depends on physical wiring and tablets lose power without their docking stations – creating downtime. Another significant issue is wireless connectivity – most hospitals are likely to have areas of weak or no wireless connectivity and further investment in routers and boosters may be required.

The resulting cost is more than inconvenience as hospitals lose money over every piece of unused equipment. Although bedside terminals are not physically mobile, the access to healthcare information is. Mounted on the wall or ceiling, with cables for power supply and network connectivity completely concealed, they ensure continuous operation at the bedside. Privacy, please!

Ensuring information security and patient privacy is a top priority in today’s healthcare settings. As point-of-care devices give access to sensitive patient data, a simple password is no longer fail-safe.

The latest medical tablets offer security features like finger print recognition and smartcard technology. Because tablets can get easily lost or stolen, they must allow remote wiping of data and should be traceable at all times. The same is true for COWs as they are often left unattended.

As for bedside terminals, secure logon is required for both clinicians and patients. Clinical staff can access the bedside terminals with a smart card or via RFID technology -removing the card automatically logs them out. Patients can access the terminal the same way or use a magnetic swipe card to access their information and other applications such as entertainment features. The cards ensure secure access to other terminals if patients are moved from bed to bed. Do patients have a say?

Studies show that patient involvement leads to better health outcomes. Providing patients with more information and options about their treatment gives them a better understanding of their conditions and motivates them to take thought-through decisions together with the care team.

Whereas COWs and medical tablets specifically address the needs of clinicians, bedside terminals have been designed to meet the dual needs of medical staff as well as patients. Patients can use the terminal to watch educational videos, find health information online or chat with the care team so they can play a more active role in their care process. More than health information

Needless to say, bedside terminals make a huge difference in patient comfort compared to tablets and computers on carts. The terminals offer various entertainment and communication options, with radio, TV, video-on-demand, internet access and even tools for VoIP and video conferencing as just a few of the possibilities. What’s more, patients can select their own meals as the hospital’s kitchen management system can be linked to the terminal and can even control the lighting, temperature and blinds in the room. This kind of functionality not only saves valuable staff time, it also provides patients with a much desired feeling of independence. Top score results

The use of patient satisfaction surveys is growing worldwide. Not only do they help hospitals identify ways of improving clinical practice, they also provide patients with a means to assess the quality of care. National standards for collecting and reporting patient satisfaction scores are now in force in many countries. Healthcare facilities find themselves in a highly competitive market place and in many instances the scores directly affect the funding the hospital receives.

Some hospitals use tablets to capture patient satisfaction scores. However, this requires staff to hand over a device to the patient who then needs to hand it back. Typically, with tablets, survey rounds happen at or after discharge. Some bedside terminals, like Barco’s JAO Smart Terminals, enable patients to fill out questionnaires electronically – in real time and at the time it suits them best – which results in a better representation of the quality of care received. Clean as if your life depends on it. Oh wait, it does!

Each year, about 900,000 people are infected with hospital-acquired MRSA in the US alone. As healthcare professionals move from room to room and patient to patient, it is important to thoroughly clean and disinfect medical devices. High-quality medical tablets (unlike consumer tablets!), COWs and bedside terminals are medical-grade, which means they allow frequent cleaning and sterilization with hospital detergents.

However, terminals and tablets are easier to get squeaky-clean than COWs. Most bedside terminals are fan-less, fully sealed and are fitted with a cable management system for a clutter- free setup, making them easy to clean. Computer carts, on the other hand, are bulky and the wheels often become clogged with dirt, requiring more extensive cleaning. Making patients smile Barco’s brand-new generation of JAO Smart Terminals for the patient bedside offers secure access to electronic health records and at the same time provides patients with home-like entertainment. Because at Barco, we know that happy patients are healthier patients.

COWs or cash cows?

The use of medical tablets, COWs and bedside terminals results in higher clinical efficiency, which saves time and money. However, bedside terminals may generate extra cost savings and additional revenue. A bedside terminal enables hospitals to consolidate a wide array of functionality into one system, providing medical staff with access to multiple applications. This simplifies work processes, and ultimately, reduces costs.

An integrated billing system, for example, improves hospital administration and the use of Voice-over-IP at the bedside reduces hospital communication costs. Additionally, patient entertainment services provide hospital management with new revenue options to further increase hospital profitability. for millions Innovative 3D projection dazzles Ultra Music Festival fans around the world Fortunately, with Barco projectors, we don’t have to rein in our imaginations when designing a dynamic, game-changing show. They can handle anything we can envision, and do so reliably and consistently.

Bryan Edens, Producer & Director of Marketing for SenovvA

Energy drink icon Red Bull’s ‘Ultra Music Festival’ has become the world’s premiere electronic music event, attracting 200,000 live attendees and millions of fans via online streaming this year. Barco and event producer SenovvA upped the ante for the 2012 event, teaming up to create a stunning 3D projection mapping display entitled ‘Red Bull Mind Meld’.

Unique angles and shapes demand Barco projection

A 76x15 m (250’x50’) animated canvas was brought to life by converging and blending multiple images with three sets of Barco projectors, blanketing 29 floors of the Intercontinental Miami Hotel. Because of the multi-dimensional nature of the 1140 sqm (15,000 sqf) surface, four FLM HD20 and eight FLM R22+ projectors were used. ” “Barco projectors are always the right tool for the job! They’re the only ones that can be positioned sideways and still work flawlessly when projecting at 50+ percent angles – a must for many of these high-profile, outdoor shows,” commented Tristan Valencia, Managing Director of SenovvA’s New York office.

A new wave in product marketing

Projection mapping is a growing phenomenon among marketers seeking innovative ways to visually communicate with customers. “Advertisers are scrambling to figure out ways to reach their core audiences because television and radio just aren’t working the way they used to,” commented Simon Anaya, Media Management Engineer, of SenovvA. “Projection mapping is one of those new, amazing things out there that can have a profound impact on the consumer.” Multi-purpose tiled LCDs

Barco’s LCD video walls portfolio has been expanded with the OverView MVD-5521. These 55” LCD displays feature an equally narrow bezel as the OverView NSL family, and perfectly complement Barco’s offering of tiled LCD video walls for use in control rooms and other applications.

Higher image quality

The OverView MVD-5521 fits the bill in diverse applications, including The high image quality in terms of brightness, contrast and viewing digital advertising, information displaying, digital menu boards, angle, makes the OverView MVD-5521 applicable in widely-differing meeting rooms, etc. This LCD display uses IPS (In-Plane Switching) environments. The display’s Direct LED technology also provides technology for consistent and accurate colors from all viewing angles, superior black levels compared to Edge LED models. Furthermore, no blackening effects caused by light or heat, and stable response because LED backlights reduce burn-in and colorations in the LCD times. Unlike the more common Twisted Nematic (TN) technology, filters and polarizers, these displays have a prolonged panel life. IPS panels do not light up or show tailing when touched. 15,000 new bedside terminals for NHS hospitals
