Barco Screen Pro II

Production:av provided a high end system based around Barco's Screen Pro II HD Seamless Switcher, and Kramer DVI over Fibre Optic cabling to deliver an unsurpassed image quality to the 16'x12' Fastfold that took centre stage behind the horses in the auction ring. Powerpoint fed from an Apple Mac at native DVI quality, with further data signals from our custom bid software PC (ably operated by Sam McCrea), as well as VT feeds of each of the horses that was being sold. Each of theses sources was shown in a 'Picture in Picture' or PIP over the unscaled background fed from the Apple Powerpoint machine.

The evenings activity follows a day of racing, for which Production:av provides the screen to The Centaur, and proceeded the next days racing.
