The Encore Presentation System is the most advanced video processing and presentation

control system on the market today. The system provides source selection, windowing,

seamless switching, video effects and integrated control for professional presentations.

Encore's modular, scalable architecture allows the system to support a wide variety of

show configurations. The system can efficiently support from 1-32 screens (or

“destinations”) with any combination of independent display or seamless wide screen

display elements.

Encore incorporates universal inputs that accept both analog and digital video. Motion

adaptive de-interlacing is provided for both standard and HD source video. Incoming video

is processed by Barco Folsom's proprietary Athena scaler, which supports smooth real-

time PIP (Picture-In-Picture) movements and re-sizing.

A fully-loaded Encore can support 12 independent PIP or Key images, or six transitioning

PIP images. Seamless transition effects, Z-order control, borders, drop shadows and a

variety of key effects are fully supported. Two un-scaled background channels provide a

high resolution backdrop that also supports seamless transition effects. Downstream Key

(DSK) effects are supported by a third un-scaled high-resolution input.

Two different Encore Controllers are offered:

•The Encore Controller SC supports 24 inputs and controls 1 to 6 destinations.

•The Encore Controller LC supports 64 inputs and controls 1 to 32 destinations.

Both controllers can control external routers for external source selection. The controllers

can also be used with Barco Events Manager software to synchronize operation with

external devices and to run pre-programmed sequences. Refer to the “Event

Management” section on page 32 for more information on Barco Events Manager.
