Belgium / The Netherlands - At ISE 2010 this week Barco is introducing PlusPAK, a powerful new configuration package for the FSN Series switcher. Specifically designed for the presentation needs of the events market, PlusPAK leverages the field-proven FSN platform with new Universal Output Cards, Multiviewer, DVE, and full 2.5 M/E control.

PlusPAK is a new hardware and software suite comprised of four components - a new Universal Output Card (UOC), the system's new Multiviewer (MVR), a Digital Video Effects Card (DVE) and new software capable of controlling 2.5 M/Es from the compact FSN-150 Controller. Because contemporary presentations are often more complex than single screen, single output, single format shows, PlusPAK answers that requirement with a purpose-built solution.

When combined with the FSN Series' plug-in NIC (8-channel Native Input Card), UIC (2-channel Universal Input Card), PlusPAK solidifies the FSN's position as the industry's most versatile "anything in, anything out" switching system, says the company.

"Our customers have asked us for a new, robust package to meet the market's need for a cost effective, multiple output presentation system," said Jed Deame, vice-president of image processing for Barco. "With the versatility of the FSN multi-format platform and the power of the PlusPAK, our customers can now react quickly to any client requirement, from the simple to the complex - in a most economical manner."
