1 Defense & Aerospace Networked visualization for distributed mission operations

2 Collaboration over IP Because operators and decision-makers need immediate access to visual information from a wide variety of sources, networked systems are on the rise. We offer subsystems for networked access and interaction with real-time dynamic imagery - be it graphics, video, radar or sonar - distributed over a secure network, with minimal latency and in the highest quality. Collaboration benefits Uncompromised visualization Operational efficiency The benefits of networked collaboration are compelling in many fields, especially in Defense & Aerospace where efficiency in both operations and economy can be realized. Whether distributing live video, graphics, audio and data streams within a ship or vehicle for enhanced situational awareness, or synchronously recording them for mission review, the ability to share and record content in high fidelity offers almost immeasurable value. To deliver that value, Barco s collaboration over IP solution provides hardware and software to ensure all visuals and data can be viewed and/or recorded by any user in real-time. Our offerings enable these sources to be delivered in native resolution (2560x1600 and beyond), with full color representation, utilizing our best-in-class video and desktop distribution technology. Collaboration over IP enables: Ad-hoc streaming of real-time computer screen contents to local crews or remote sites Composited views of network sources Synchronous recording for detailed mission review Real-time remote desktop interaction from any crewstation to any computer

3 Stove-pipe systems are being consolidated into networked open-standard service-oriented environments. More scalable and flexible configurations, less cluttered workstations, and robust support for redundancy and failover recovery, are just a few of the benefits. Recent trends are to move from legacy point-to-point connections and dedicated AV switching towards a converged, net-centric IP model potentially enabling significant cost savings. Barco s networked visualization technology leverages this net-centric approach in its products and helps realize the promise of ready access to dynamic visual information with lower Total Cost of Ownership - all without sacrificing real-time performance where needed.

4 Advanced collaborative networks Local collaborative viewing Create common situational awareness by making all sources visible to everyone in the room TACTICAL OPERATIONS LARGE AREA DISPLAYS CREWSTATIONS Workstation/thin/zero clients Share dynamic visual information between clients with lossless, real-time performance Mission recording Record all video, graphic, audio and metadata streams synchronously for after-action review and training Real-time remote desktops Centralized computing offers security and maintenance benefits while reducing the total cost of ownership SERVER ROOM Real-time Media Network

5 Remote facilities Remote collaborative viewing Share high quality live or recorded mission video, graphic, audio and metadata streams outside of a vessel or vehicle Create common situational awareness by making all sources visible to everyone in the team MOBILE DEVICE COMMAND CENTERS REMOTE POSITIONS LAN WAN Follow me Crew members can access crucial information which is traditionally limited to specific systems LAN/WAN breakout SYSTEM SERVICES Distribute sources across LANs and WANs Optimize stream quality and bandwidth consumption to adjust to network conditions

6 Feature rich solution Real-time media network Visually lossless LAN distribution Interoperable WAN access Hard real-time performance and interaction with lossless image quality is supported using 10Gb ethernet and uncompressed video, USB and audio distribution. Barco s network collaboration solution maintains image quality, regardless of network speed. As a result, local and remote crew members and mission support specialists can make decisions based on the same visually lossless information. Open-system dissemination to devices running optimized Barco software clients or standard media players supports wide-area access to live or recorded media. Performance Information assurance Mission assurance Capabilities ranging from real-time, pixel-perfect live operation to optimized, low bandwidth wide-area distribution provide access to critical information throughout the system. Secure streaming, administration, and support services for customer system certification and accreditation are available. High availability and fail-over modes are supported for mission-critical operation.

7 Key tools for visual collaboration Software client media player Encoders and decoders Our enterprise and rugged encoders/decoders enable seamless, multicast video, graphics and audio distribution, plus keyboard/mouse control. Compression Raw uncompressed media supports hard real-time lossless performance Video-to-Data (V2D) compression provides the highest quality user experience with managed bandwidth Rugged encoders/decoders Enterprise encoder/decoder Standard H.264 compressed media enables distribution over low bandwidth connections to standard devices Recording and distribution Digital Media Servers provide a versatile platform performing key archival and stream distribution tasks.. It enables multi-stream, synchronous network recording and playback of simultaneous SVGA (800 x 600) to QUXGA (3200 x 2400) video and graphics streams including audio and metadata. This equipment also serves as a stream distribution and relay node on the network. It converts unicast streams to a multicast stream (vice versa) and adjusts the bandwidth of outgoing streams to accommodate network constraints. Rugged/enterprise Digital media servers Central management IT managers, administrators and system integrators can easily manage individual or group elements by type, location or user-defined criteria using the most powerful and intuitive management platform engine in the industry. Management servers From small scale deployments to multi-site, multi-device, global installations, the Management Server (MS) provides tools and setup wizards to ensure quick and efficient configuration with a standard or customizable UI.

8 Barco s networked visualization technology Barco focuses exclusively on providing reliable and secure experiences to its customers. With the hardware and software we manufacture and design, the armed forces can share the highest resolution video and graphics sources available using their existing data networks. And since data review and analysis can be as important as real-time collaboration, we also offer scalable solutions to record, synchronize, playback and bookmark all streams no matter where they are generated or reproduced. Among our unique offerings are: Specially architected encoders and decoders for streaming the highest resolution video and graphics data, along with USB devices and audio, all with minimal latency Recording technology capable of synchronously archiving unlimited high-resolution networked streams Powerful collaboration software for secure system management and multi-stream viewing, accessed via GUI or API for integration into custom applications Advanced capabilities including active 3D stereo streaming and tools to provide attractive stream layout and picture-in-picture options About Barco Barco, a global technology company, designs and develops visualization products for a variety of selected professional markets: medical imaging, media & entertainment, infrastructure & utilities, traffic & transportation, defense & security, education & training and corporate AV.
