Barco introduces Pulse projection software platform

At ISE 2023, Barco will introduce its new Pulse mobile app alongside an update to the Insights Management Suite platform.

The Pulse ecosystem consists of various software tools to enable easier projector control. The latest addition is the Pulse Mobile App, now available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The app serves as a remote controller and allows for quick tweaking of basic projection parameters, such as lens adjustments, projector orientation, shutter power, test patterns and black level settings.

Craig Lawrence, Video and Projects Director at SFL Group, was part of the Pulse Beta testing community and confirms he was positive about the efficiency of the Mobile App.

“The solution gives us remote access to the features of the Pulse interface which saves us a lot of precious time and is beneficial in those complex setups where the projector is mounted in hard-to-reach places,” explained Craig Lawrence, video and projects director at SFL Group and part of the Pulse Beta testing community. “It’s a great asset, and we’re excited to see how the Pulse ecosystem further evolves.”

Another projection software platform from Barco is the Insights Management Suite, a cloud-based Internet of Things solution for enhanced fleet management and intended to simplify and facilitate remote monitoring and serviceability of projectors. The first version of Insights Management Suite was available for the UDM and UDX flagship line projectors. It later extended the availability with the launch of the XDM and XDX RGB laser projectors. In the coming months, the Management Suite will also be supported for the G62 and G100 single-chip laser projectors.

Additionally, a new feature to the Insights Management Suite platform will be introduced. Projector Power Scheduler makes it possible for users to remotely schedule the power on or off for an individual projector or a group of projectors. This functionality is aimed at fixed installations or semi-permanent projection mappings where the technical team is not constantly on site to manage the projector’s power settings.
