#ISE2019 @Barco Launch ‘UniSee Present’

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Barco has introduced a new addition to its LCD video wall platform, UniSee Present is a media-focused, content-management offering for Barco’s newest generation of large video walls (we also understand that it will work with other enterprise video walls).

Inez Schoels, Go To Market Manager at Barco, said “By introducing UniSee Present, we complete our Barco UniSee portfolio and can offer a comprehensive, user-friendly and easy-to-install video wall experience. Getting content on a wall is now within everybody’s reach, using a familiar Windows-based environment. This is extremely important for many applications, including lobbies, retail stores, shopping malls, restaurants, bars, trade shows, and entertainment ventures.”

It would appear that UniSee Present complements the current Barco UniSee platform; UniSee View (the unique bezel-less display with unmatched uniformity), UniSee Mount (the innovative mounting structure) and UniSee Connect (described as a revolutionary cloud management system).

This new software offering is designed to drive Barco’s newest generation of LCD video walls and supports both small and medium-sized walls (up to 16 HD panels). State-of-the-art image switching and processing makes sure that users can display pixel-perfect images, offering a premium video wall experience with amazing ease-of-use.

Based on Windows 10, UniSee Present offers users a familiar and user-friendly interface for corporate IT managers and video wall resellers. Anyone can simply start working with it, so there is no training required. Most popular media file formats like videos (MPEG, etc.) and photos (JPEG, GIF, etc.), can be displayed with ultimate flexibility. This also includes most commonly used Microsoft Office applications—like PowerPoint slides and Excel sheets—and web pages via Chrome, all in a borderless way for the ultimate video wall experience. Additionally, using an external frame grabber allows for multiple external sources to be easily connected via HDMI and displayed on the video wall.

Thanks to an intuitive browser-based user interface, the selection and presentation of content can be done from any device, at any location. For even simpler operation, the UI can be made accessible from your company intranet. Launching content on a video wall has never been easier. With one single action, users can display the desired content, selecting it from predefined layouts. Because both the layouts and playlists can be predefined, the IT staff is in complete control of which content can be shared on the wall and in which way.

For installers, integrators and IT staff, UniSee Present offers big advantages. Using straightforward plug-and-play installation and intuitive software to facilitate the integration, UniSee Present can be installed and configured swiftly, with limited IT resources. The physical UniSee Present hardware box is only needed for configuration; all other operations can be performed remotely, from the users’ desks, using the company network.

Piet De Maertelaere, Product Manager at Barco, added “Anywhere that people want to offer a premium and engaging viewing experience using videos, images or commonly used Windows applications, UniSee Present is an excellent choice. Adding this media-focused wall processor makes Barco a unique vendor for a complete LCD video wall experience, creating an offering from a trusted supplier that was designed to work in harmony.”
