2.1 The Video Distribution Solution

TheCineVERSUMRevolution
Thank you for purchasing the Cine VERSUM system from Barco. You are now at the gates of projection heaven.
The Cine VERSUM from BARCO Home Theatre is the result of a completely new look at home theater. BARCO has fundamentally
changed thew ay ah ome theaters ystemworks, from source to image! We are proud we have fulfilled your demands,w iththis very
first non-compromise home theater solution ever released.
All the modules of the system form a single transparentsolution. The Cine VERSUM Series is not just a new range of products: it
is a future-proof platform thatis compatible with all future standards.
What does modular, future-proof, no-compromise mean?
Think of the audio world: in the low end of the market, audio switching, processing and amplification are done within a single unit.
The single unit does it all, and is therefore inherently a compromise “combo”. In the high end of the market however, individual
modules are optimized to do one specific task:
• A pre-amplifier or AV processor.
• A separate power amplifier for all, or multiple power amplifiers for each individual audio channel.
• A digital link between pre- and power amplifier to guaranteea perfect signal transmission.
BarcoHome Theater, with CineVERSUM, brings to the high-end video world what the audio world has been enjoying for many years:
a truly modular solution, with exceptional video quality.

2.2 Overview of the System

Source managing
The Cine VERSUM system allows you to manage your sources in ane asy and comfortableway. As the Cine VERSUM Master can
be stored close to your sources, signal loss is limited as much as possible. O nce the signal is processed, in a completely digital
way,the high-bandwidth cable allows for non-compromise distribution.

Display linking
Given this one-cable design, we integrated theposs ibilityof chaining multiple display units, one after another. As such, your Cine
VERSUM Master can feed a combination of up to 32 projectors(C ineVERS UM 80)and plasm a displays(Cine VERS UM 50).
