That’s why we are confident that our next-generation RGB Laser for 24/7 Control Rooms display will change the visualization paradigm in these environments. Because it’s not just about brightness this time! We’ve optimized other factors influencing image quality in video walls to present the sharpest and most detailed images. Barco also uses ergonomically friendly screens to optimize viewing angles, rather than high-gain models which diminish visibility, thus making them unsuitable for 24/7 control rooms. In fact, our RGB Laser for 24/7 Control Rooms video wall can achieve a horizontal viewing angle of >/= 36 degrees half gain angle (optimal) and vertical viewing angles between 21-33 degrees half gain angle depending upon the screen choice based on the size of the wall.
If you’ve ever had the chance to compare an LED-lit video wall to an RGB laser-illuminated one, the superior eye-catching benefits are obvious: the brightness is astonishing! RGB Laser projection delivers significantly (2X!) brighter images than mainstream LED-based walls.
But how does ultra-brightness really deliver superior value to both operators and the organization?
1 Go into the light
One of the key benefits of enhanced brightness is flexibility. Until now, control rooms required very dark spaces, often subterranean locations with no windows, to enable operators to clearly see images on the video wall. Now, control rooms are being designed with human factors in mind, i.e., with modern ergonomics and ambient lighting. And the enhanced brightness enhances the readability of the large overview display wall. This provides integrators and their customers with more options for locating the video wall in more convenient and aesthetically pleasing spaces, while allowing functions that require additional ambient lighting to be performed in the same room.
2 The power is in the details
Second, 'perception of details' increases with greater brightness; it’s an important aspect in color processing to produce saturated images that are easily discernable. High brightness is a crucial factor for utilities when it comes to detecting flashing alarms; and for security/surveillance centers, where operators need to make a split-second decision about a suspicious person in a live security camera stream. Of course, factors other than brightness affect precise image quality, such as contrast, sharpness and color accuracy, but brightness is usually the most critical element of the image quality trifecta.
3 Live long and prosper
Finally, brightness should be integrally related to the overall lifetime of the display and ultimately, to the total cost of ownership. Hence, brightness and lifetime must always be considered together, i.e., they are not mutually exclusive. RGB Laser illumination produces greater brightness and lower power consumption, resulting in a higher energy efficiency ratio; and at the same time guaranteeing a lifetime of over 11.5 years in 24/7 operational mode. And, because operators often don’t need to run an RGB laser-illuminated video wall at maximum brightness levels, they can extend the already long lifetime of their display, further lowering their total cost of ownership.
Clearly, the RGB Laser for 24/7 Control Rooms exemplifies true value-based innovation, delivering both perceptual and economic benefits to the control room environment. By combining a unique set of brightness-centric attributes that leverage Barco’s proprietary technologies, users can significantly elevate visual performance to improve decision-making and enhance operator comfort.
