Barco LiveDots Launches New LED Screens

Andrew Neale

Barco LiveDots, a Barco company, introduced this week a brand-new LED display range for outdoor branding and advertising applications.

The T platform – currently available with 8 and 10mm pixel pitch – features a design that eliminates the need for a custom-calibrated secondary steel structure which is required for conventional tile-based LED screens.

Built on self-supporting and scalable cabinets, the T8 and T10 can be directly fastened onto the main attachment points, significantly cutting the cost of installation and the steel structure itself.

Carl Rijsbrack, CMO at Barco LiveDots said “Our T8 and T10 LED displays have a revolutionary design: they no longer come in separate tiles, but in ultra-slim cabinets with a shared power supply and controller and only four alignment points. In this way, we not only offer customers more flexibility, we also significantly shorten installation and alignment time, and reduce weight dramatically.”

A limited set of components also allows users to build modular cabinets of any size – consisting of up to eight by five LED modules, with each module measuring 40 by 40 centimeter. As the cabinets are directly attached onto the main structure, there is no need for additional connecting frames or secondary steel structures that are required for traditional installations. Measuring less than 140mm in depth and fully made of aluminum, the slim and lightweight displays can be hung to any wall and internal components and cables can easily be accessed from the front as well as the back, without tools.

The design offers installation and construction companies more flexibility to build the specific size they need and speed up installation times. System integrators who have followed Barco’s T-series certification program will be empowered to construct the cabinets from a limited set of core components. Barco has already opened enrollment for the T-series certification program.

Barco say that the T8 and T10 are ideally suited for fixed installation in 24/7 outdoor retail and advertising applications.
