The Barco PresentationPRO-II Switcher is a compact, rackable presentation processor designed for rental use where reliable signal routing and high-quality scaling are required. It combines an eight-input universal analog router, Barco's Athena scaler, and an integrated control panel to simplify multi-source presentations, live events, corporate meetings, and house-of-worship services.

Key Features

• Eight universal analog inputs, accepting RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB computer video, YPbPr analog video (SD and HD), S-video, and composite video on 15-pin HD connectors.
• Optional SDI input (one, SMPTE 259M-C on BNC) available on digital-capable units.
• Flexible outputs: Analog RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB (non-interlaced) on 15-pin HD connectors and a digital DVI output on a DVI-I connector.
• Wide resolution support: Computer resolutions from VGA (640x480) to UXGA (1600x1200), and HDTV support up to 1920x1080 progressive (720p, 1080i, 1080p).
• Athena scaler technology, offering 1:1 pixel sampling, motion-adaptive de-interlacing, 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection, low video latency, and aspect-ratio correction for consistent image quality across mixed sources.
• Integrated control interface with LCD touchscreen, keyboard circuitry, rotary encoders, and illuminated push buttons for fast local operation.
• Three storable images can be used as a full-screen logo, background, or downstream key source.

Use Cases

• Multi-presenter conferences where multiple laptops and camera feeds must be switched and scaled to a common display.
• Live events and worship services requiring low-latency scaling and accurate de-interlacing of SD and HD video.
• Corporate boardrooms and training rooms that need reliable source routing and consistent output to projectors or flat panels.
