`
`the NX series, the industry's
`Barco introduces the next breakthrough in LED displays -
`new visual standard in indoor LED technology. With its revolutionary Black LED, the NX
`delivers the deepest black levels of any product on the market.
`
`But the new Black LED is only one element that makes the NX unique. Key advances
`in base materials, mechanical design and color processing have raised the bar of LED
`displays to new heights of image quality.
`
`The NX is not simply an incremental advance in indoor LED tile technology -
`much more. In fact, the term "quantum leap" doesn't even come close.
`
`it's more,

`

`The elegant contradiction - black and bright
`
`that combines a super-black shader
`casting with optimized geometry. The
`result - dramatically enhanced horizontal
`and vertical viewing angles, a significant
`reduction in light reflections and deeper
`black levels than ever before.
`
`Is "black and bright" a contradiction?
`Yes - but a most elegant one, and only
`from Barco.
`
`By far, the key factor that sets the NX apart
`from all other LED displays is immediately
`evident - even when the LEDs are turned
`off. With the NX, Barco has developed a
`true black LED - not just a black package,
`but a radically new design, from the interior
`resin to the exterior shaders.
`
`instead of the
`Using black silicon resin
`traditional white epoxy, not only does the
`NX appear black, but each LED outputs the
`deepest blacks and brightest luminance
`levels of any product on
`the market.
`In addition, the NX's remarkable output
`is enhanced by a new "light-trap" shader

`Contrast ratio
`
`Seamless and lightweight
`
`Today's industry standard for mounting an LED
`wall is metal. While strong and roadworthy,
`metal frames are heavy and very sensitive
`to deformation. To complement
`the NX
`series' new LED display benchmark, Barco
`has engineered the industry's new structural
`benchmark -
`the "Mag-frame".
`
`The Mag-frame is built of carbon fiber and is
`designed in a framework-rather than a box.
`The result is a support system far stronger,
`far
`lighter, and
`ten
`times
`less sensitive
`to deformation than
`the current "metal"
`structures. For added strength and fewer
`components, the structure uses optimized
`glue rather than screws, providing extremely
`tight tolerances along all three structural axes
`(x, y and z).
`
`Not only is carbon fiber incredibly strong, it
`is also super light. The weight of the NX tile
`including structure and cables is 59kg/sqm,
`210/o less than llite 6XP. For the crew, this
`translates into significant savings in terms
`of transportation, serviceability, and far less
`stress on the overhead truss.
`
`Barco has also transformed the entire science
`of mounting the modules within the tile. With
`the Mag-frame, LED modules connect directly
`to the structure via high-strength neodymium
`"neo" magnets,
`rather
`than
`traditional
`screws. No tools are required for mounting
`or removal. With each magnet capable of
`holding over 1000 times its own mass, the
`result is precise positioning, super easy setup,
`and a totally seamless display.

`

`Consistent uniformity over time
`
`The NX's "black and bright" attributes will re(cid:173)
`volutionize the display industry, but not if the
`product's lifetime has to suffer as a result. To
`address this, Barco has engineered an "anti(cid:173)
`aging" solution on three levels:
`
`• By using next generation, highly efficient LED dies and by running the LEDs at lower tem(cid:173)
`peratures, extremely high brightness levels have been achieved at much lower currents.
`It's simple -
`less stress equals longer life.
`
`• Within the LED itself, the use of silicon instead of epoxy resin also slows the aging process,
`and provides a greater degree of reliability in humid operating conditions.
`
`• The NX's new "tri-color" LED calibration further ensures display stability and uniformity over
`time.
`
`·- -----;;;;::__---~..,r==.
`,,. _______ _
`
`<It<
`
`It's a fact that LEDs age, and their output declines in brightness over
`time. But with NX's technical advances, Barco has not only engineered
`an "anti-aging" solution, but a ROI solution as well - with the product's
`brightness declining to only 850/o after 60,000 hours!
`
`Brilliant colors, breathtaking grayscales
`
`With the introduction of the NX series, color
`processing advances to a new industry pin(cid:173)
`nacle - 16-bit processing and new "tri-color"
`calibration on all three colors simultaneously.
`Each NX LED can deliver up to 281 trillion col(cid:173)
`ors, enabling tiles to reach staggering new
`levels of color depth, uniformity, and gray(cid:173)
`scale range - a critical requirement for all
`low brightness applications.
`
`With a tight selection of LEDs and the 16-bit
`processing power of the NX series, tiles can
`be calibrated to a larger color triangle - one
`that is actually wider than the HDTV standard,
`
`delivering vibrant images with deep, uniform
`colors across the entire display surface. In
`combination with the DX-700, Barco's new
`16-bit digitizer, the NX delivers more colors,
`more detail, and a higher degree of unifor(cid:173)
`mity than ever before - without sacrificing
`color depth. Effectively, NX and DX-700 pro(cid:173)
`vide a brilliant "no compromise" system that
`must be experienced in person to fully appre(cid:173)
`ciate - print simply does not do it justice!

`
`Native HD - by design
`
`Each NX tile consists of nine modules, plus a
`single control unit, which also houses the power
`supply and interface board. NX tiles are 448mm
`wide by 504mm high (17.6 x 19.8 inches).
`
`For NX-4, each tile's aspect ratio is 8:9. Place
`two tiles side-by-side and you're spot on 16:9
`- and precisely ready for HD. Given a 20 x 1 0
`tile array, your exact pixel resolution is 1920 x
`1080- the native HD resolution.
`
`Get creative
`
`The NX series also employs the same small
`modular concept as Barco's renowned Olite
`series - allowing the tiles to be used either
`as a standard integral display, or split apart
`for creative designs. And when used
`in
`conjunction with Barco's Director Toolset, you
`can build displays of any shape or form -
`limited only by your imagination.
`
`Creative mechanics
`
`Special mechanics have been developed to
`help you get even more creative with your NX
`tiles. Each set of mechanics accommodates
`up to nine NX modules vertically and each
`set can be easier connected both vertically
`and horizontally in either concave or convex
`formats.

`

`

`Remove the tools, improve the serviceability
`
`With the NX series, Barco designers have
`given you less to work with! That is, no tools
`or cables are required to set up and secure a
`NX LED wall, or take it apart for service. And
`because the Mag-frame is essentially an open
`structure, there's easy access to every module,
`the control unit and
`interface boards. The
`control unit can even be opened while the tile
`is fully operational. For added serviceability,
`if any shader is damaged, they are easily
`removed and replaced.
`
`The inter-tile locking system has also been
`re-designed for ease of setup, with simplified
`electrical
`connections,
`accurate
`"click"
`prelocks, robust horizontal and vertical locking
`mechanisms - and (once again), no cables or
`tools required.
`
`We give you less - to your distinct advantage!

`operational. The same control unit is used on
`both NX-6 and NX-4.

`

`DX-700 processor - purpose-built for the NX series
`
`is a multi-window
`Barco's new DX-700
`processor designed as a versatile, advanced
`digitizer for all current Barco LED products
`and all next generation platforms such as
`the NX series. With DVI output modules
`designed specifically for the current products
`(such as Olite 612 and I6XP), and new "NNI"
`output modules designed specifically for NX
`tiles, the DX-700 provides the power of 16-
`bit processing, modularity and multi-bank
`control.
`
`further enhanced with
`is
`The DX-700
`"universal" input modules that enable you to
`connect DVI (RGB or YCbCr), Dual-DVI (RGB),
`Component Analog (RGB or YPbPr), SD-SDI,
`HD-SDI, and Dual HD-SDI formats.
`You can also configure a single DX-700
`with multiple input and output modules, in
`a variety of creative configurations or link
`multiple DX-700's together for larger, more
`complex setups.
`
`Fiberlink NNI
`
`The Fiberlink NNI is a newly designed Multi
`Mode fiber optic system, enabling the user
`to extend the distance between the DX-700
`NNI output card and an NX series display -
`as well as the between two NX displays. The
`maximum distances of 300m can be bridged
`using the Fiberlink NNI system.
`
`Both the TX (Transmitter) and RX (Receiver)
`are IP65 rated, and have also been specially
`designed to work under high temperatures
`(up to 50°C / 122°F).
`
`All cables (including the fiber cable) are field
`replaceable.
`
`Additional DX-700 features include:
`
`• 16-bit processing
`• 10-bit color depth, in either 4:4:4 or
`4:2:2 input format
`• Motion-adaptive de-interlacing
`• Dynamic contrast enhancement on any
`input source
`• Input adjustments, including saturation,
`balance and sharpness
`• Seamless transitions between inputs
`• Color-keying
`• Digital video effects, including freeze,
`strobe and linear color transformations
`• Comprehensive "wizards" for input and
`output setup
`• Presets storage and recall
`
`... and so much more. With DX-700 in your sys(cid:173)
`tem, not only will your NX tiles shine with
`the full spectrum of color and detail, but your
`legacy Barco tiles will appear more brilliant
`than ever before.
