The Barco E2 is a rack-mounted screen management system designed for rental environments where flexible, high-quality multi-screen and projector control is required. It supports native 4K input and output, multi-unit linking for very large pixel canvases, and real-time processing with full color sampling and deep bit depth.

Key Features

• Native 4K processing, with 4:4:4 color sampling and 12-bit processing for accurate color and smooth gradients.
• High-density I/O, supporting up to 40 inputs via eight Event Master series input cards, including up to 16x 4K sources and a mix of SD/HD/3G/6G/12G connectors.
• Multiple output options, with up to 18 output connectors across four output cards, including SDI, HDMI and DisplayPort variants. The system can deliver up to eight 4K60p outputs without multi-viewer, or configurable 4K outputs with multi-viewer options.
• Large pixel canvases by chaining multiple E2 units, enabling processing of extremely large displays and complex blends.
• Flexible program routing, eight mixable PGM outputs and four scaled Aux outputs for comprehensive show control in a single chassis.

Use Cases

• Multi-projector blended presentations and large-screen events requiring accurate 4K color and high refresh rates.
• Live events and broadcasts that need multiple program outputs, preview/program workflows, and scaled auxiliary feeds for confidence monitoring.
• Fixed installs or touring setups that demand expandability, high I/O density, and the ability to scale by linking units.
