Immersive Display Solutions selects Barco F70 for advanced dome display project

Immersive Display Solutions Inc. (IDSI) selected the Barco F70 for its latest advanced dome display project. Using 13 F70-4K6 projectors per dome and featuring the Barco Pulse electronics processing platform and Single Step Processing (SSP) pixel-shifting technology, the integrated solution from IDSI will support high-performance fast jet pilot training.

This selection continues the successful relationship, which has been built between IDSI and Barco over many years and has produced some of the highest quality display systems in the industry.

The F70-4K6 is a high performance, robust laser-phosphor projector with sealed optics and a minimal number of moving components inside. This construction enables rugged performance that ensures stability and predictability over the 60,000-hour lifetime of the product. 4K resolution is achieved using the high bandwidth Barco Pulse electronics platform and the proprietary SSP technology. All this leads to the delivery of sharp and detailed dynamic imagery that allows trainees to detect moving objects at long distances and immerses them into the simulation experience.

“Our relationship with Barco is built on performance, support and trust,” says George Forbes, president and founder of IDSI. “When we make a determination on which projector to use for a project, we consider much more than the technical performance–which has to be there. We know we can rely on Barco, and that the entire Barco Simulation team from top-down is behind us, and that is a big factor in who we choose to partner with.”

“The team at IDSI is well-respected throughout the industry for their precision, quality and low-risk approach to program requirements,” says Dave Fluegeman, vice president, Simulation at Barco. “Our teams have always integrated very well, and when there is a seamless approach and singular focus to a project, the likelihood of success is always very high.”

Barco and IDSI will be at I/ITSEC, the world’s largest modeling, simulation and training event. You can see the latest Barco products at I/ITSEC 2018, including the F70-4K6 and the new FL40 LED projector, at the Barco booth # 849 and the FS40 at IDSI booth #1273. I/ITSEC runs from November 26 to November 30 in Orlando, FL.
