Enter a new
dimension of control
Barco CTRL

Barco CTRL:
The ideal platform
for your control room
Simplicity.
Scalability.
Security.
The list of requirements for control room software islong and demanding. With Barco CTRL, we provide
a solid platform to answer these needs. It gives you
full control over the information flow in an easy andintuitive way. Designed by the control room experts.

The right informationon the right location

Easeof deployment

Getting the right information to theright location, at the right time. That is,in short, the purpose of Barco CTRL
– although the system is a lot morethan that. Taking care of every aspectof end-to-end content distribution,from collection and networking tovisualization, Barco CTRL is the securefoundation of your control room.

Setting up a large networked
visualization system used to be
extremely complex and timeconsuming. With Barco CTRL, this isa thing of the past. The configuration
wizard guides you through all steps ofthe process, including the configurationof the encoders and decoders, and thearrangement of the video wall tiles.

I was very impressed with the ease of use for the operator
and the end user. The ease of deployment and initialconfiguration is one of the best I have ever seen for a
ProAV solution for control rooms.
Ray May, CTO, Parker GroupIf you value simplicity
Powerful systems tend to be complex– but they don’t need to be. Although it
has the potential to create a worldwide
network, Barco CTRL is surprisingly
simple to set up and use. With a single
keyboard and mouse, operators caninteract with all needed sources.
Furthermore, the user interface wasdesigned for intuitive operation, basedon our many talks with control room
professionals.

Perfectly synchronizedaudio and video

Made for all monitor
configurations

One platform,multiple use cases

Before Barco CTRL, sound wasoften a frustration in control room
applications. When audio and video are
not synchronized, it leads to possible
misinterpretations. Barco CTRL has theneeded means in place to perfectly
harmonize the images with the sound,adding to operator comfort andefficiency.

Most operator positions feature multiple
displays, and these can be arranged
in any mode: portrait, landscape, ormixed. Barco CTRL welcomes any kindof monitor configuration, giving users
the freedom to work the way they feelmost comfortable.

With Barco CTRL, you have one single
platform for all control room contentvisualization. Serving both the video
wall and the operator desk, Barco CTRL
extends the same look and feel overthe complete control room and beyond(including break-out rooms, remotelocations, etc.), highly contributing to an
intuitive workflow.

Barco CTRL:
Grows with your needs
You need to prepare for the future – even if you don’tknow what it brings. Will you need to include additionalsources? Add extra operator positions? Create orexpand a video wall? Or even deploy subsidiary control
rooms? Barco has taken these uncertainties as a prime
requirement when designing CTRL.

Designed to expand

An open system

Barco CTRL is fully scalable and grows
with your needs. This means that bysimply adding additional encoders anddecoders, the solution can start small
and potentially expand to a globalsystem.

Barco CTRL integrates easily into 3rdparty video management systems
through APIs. This enables users andintegrators to leverage the complete
power of all leading solutions in themarket. What’s more, the system
is fully prepared for the use of newtechnologies, and integrates easily into
different IT networks.

No hardware complexity

Preventing downtime

Upgrades: a one-click process

One type of encoder, one type ofdecoder, one type of server. It’s thatsimple. No stress choosing between
power and budget: you definitely get
a powerful device that will do the job
splendidly, for a very fair price! This has
the additional advantage that you havethe fluidity in how you want to use thesystem. For example, the same decoder
can be used to drive an operator
workspace or 4 video wall tiles.

A critical installation is critical because
it needs to perform at any time.
Downtime is simply not an option. To
ensure the uptime, Barco has taken all
possible measures to prevent failure.
This includes redundancy options of all
critical components.

Upgrading or updating a system oftencauses stress in the IT department.
Will the system keep on working? Are
all devices scheduled in the update?
How much downtime is expected?
With Barco CTRL, updating is a simple
and smooth process with very limited
downtime.

CTRL stands out in 3 things: trivial to implement, easy
to understand and the ability and flexibility to have apersonalized workplace or layout with any type of source,
tailored to the operator itself.

Barco CTRL:
Security by design
Cybersecurity: it is the most critical requirement forcontrol room equipment. And it continuously gains
in importance. Designed to uphold the highest levelsof cybersecurity, Barco CTRL allows users to securely
connect to their sources, from any location, and interact
with the content on any video wall or operator desk.

An armored system
The security architecture of Barco CTRL is based on a number of clearly defined concepts:

1.

3.

Identity management

System protection

Media protection

Built on a zero-trust architecture,
upholding authentication andauthorization.

Full 360 degree protection, frombooting, communication and storage,
to system updates.

Data protection on device level.

.
.

2.

4.

Certificate-based and using TLS1.2/1.3
for confidentiality and integrity.

Building audit trails for fullaccountability.

Communication protection.

Audit logging

5.

Upholding all these steps results in the100% secure system users expect.

Security by design

Dedicated security roadmap

Barco CTRL was designed fromscratch, strictly following the‘Security by design’ principles.
Conceived with best practices
like ‘Zero Trust’ and ‘Shift Left’in mind, Barco CTRL is a fullfeatured solution that can even be
deployed in the most secure criticalenvironments.

Barco CTRL takes security seriously –and we have the needed mechanisms
in place to uphold this. We uphold
cybersecurity with state-of-the-art
encryption, and protect all AV systems
and workflows.

What makes CTRL stand out is the ground-up
development with security infrastructure in mind. From
our perspective, the ability to securely mix content
from multiple classification levels on the video wall orworkstations, without compromising security information,is really key.
