Barco introduces an upgrade program for veteran OverView P and Atlas
systems. This initiative offers a smooth migration path to state-of-the art
technology with all features and quality improvements of OverView D.
Sales Release
Upgrade program for pSi display walls
Introduction
The upgrade program allows customers to sustain their investment in a Barco display wall
and to be well appointed for the future.
Upgrading of a display wall comprises three parts: the upgrade of the projection system, the
upgrade of the screen, and - depending on the original system configuration - the upgrade of
the controller.
Upgrade of the projection system
The upgrade has hardly any impact on the mechanical setup and integration of the display
wall within the control room. It is mainly the replacement of the image generator. In practice
the pSi projection engines are de-mounted on-site, and the DLP projection unit and the dual
lamp illumination unit are installed. Except for cutting an aluminum profile in the 50" system,
no destructive work has to be done.
For upgrading the projection system several upgrade kits have been defined, depending on
size and resolution.
Due to their 4:3 aspect ratio 50” and 67” pSi XGA systems can either be upgraded to
O
VERVIEW DG or even to OVERVIEW DR+.
Display walls with SXGA systems (5:4) naturally can only be upgraded to O
VERVIEW DR.
Upgrade of the screen
The screen used in 67" installation of the O
VERVIEW P series has been the same as it is for the
67" installations of the O
VERVIEW D series. Therefore with 67", no replacement of the screen is
required.
With 50" however, three different kinds of screens have been employed. In general HVA
screens need not to be replaced, while for TTS screens replacement is recommended, and for
all other types of screens replacement is mandatory.
After the image generator has been upgraded, it depends only on the screen if the system
specifications meet the specification of O
VERVIEW D.

Upgrade of the controller
Due to the variety and multitude of BCD controllers, interfaces to the projectors and
resolutions, every installation requires a detailed assessment of the controller and an
individual concept how to upgrade it.
The following list tries to give a clue, which controller can be expected to be usable with the
upgraded display wall.

It is a good practice to always consult the frequently updated compatibility matrices on the
Partnerzone in order to determine the interoperability of the controller hardware, here mainly
the output cards, with the new display system.
Please note that software, drivers and firmware may need to be upgraded accordingly.
However be aware that due to the discontinued support of legacy cards an upgrade to the
latest versions might not always be possible.
The upgrade of A
TLAS CS4 systems with an analog interface to a digital one should always be
considered as the first choice towards a state-of-the-art display wall. But if desired, the
optional use of M
ULTI INPUT MODULES allows keeping the analog connection type as well.
Cabling
Since the pSi projection engines were provided with a PanelLink data interface, whereas the
O
VERVIEW D projection unit has a DVI-D input, all data cabling to the upgraded projector has
to be replaced completely.
Please note:
Adapters connecting an old PanelLink cable to a DVI-D input do not exist!
Existing RS232 Remote-Control cabling can be used continuously together with an
O
VERVIEW D compatible software like OVERVIEW CONTROL MANAGER.

Availability on SSR (sales support request)
Due to the required level of technical investigations these upgrades are exclusively available
through the SSR procedure, handled by the sales engineers. It is up to them to gather all
necessary data of the actual installation and to compile a concept how to upgrade the display
wall.
Therefore the upgrade kits are not available in the standard BFO price book but only on the
restricted SSR pages.
Practical
After the acceptance of the SSR and configuration of the project, delivery time will be
8 weeks for upgrading XGA systems, and 10 weeks for upgrading SXGA systems,
respectively.
For returning the replaced pSi engines, the customer receives 10% discount on the
mechanical upgrade kits.
Without return of the replaced pSi projection engines to the product base, this 10% account
will not be applied!
