Kortrijk, Belgium, 8 February 2016 – Barco, industry leader 
in image processing technology, is proud to release the EC-200, a 
full-sized hardware controller that’s part of its Event Master series of
 screen management systems. Thanks to its new syntax-based programming, 
the EC-200 offers easier and faster show programming. The EC-200 event 
controller will be shipping from mid-February.
    
    
        “Following the many industry reviews we got on our E2 and S3-4K 
screen management systems and EC-50 controller, we’re happy to announce 
that our successful Event Master range is growing,” comments Chris 
Colpaert, VP Image Processing at Barco. “Consisting of screen management
 systems, controllers, and media servers, our image processing portfolio
 includes the right tools for every step in the creative process – from 
handling content, to managing sources and distributing signals. This 
enables our rental customers to simply pick and choose the right Barco 
products they need to meet their specific show requirements.” 
Redefining screen management
The EC-200 leverages the ease of use of its smaller brother, the EC-50 
event controller, while adding a new syntax-based programming 
methodology that accelerates programming, offers immediate access to 
system resources, and streamlines show programming in a way that’s 
unique to the Event Master system. Redefining the way screen management 
is handled for large events, this new syntax-style programming greatly 
simplifies and speeds the operator’s job. 
New features
Compatible with both the S3-4K and E2 Event Master processors, the 
EC-200 is a stand-alone controller featuring a Linux-based operating 
system and a built-in Central Processing Unit (CPU). It brings the 
ability to have source, preset, layer, and destination selection at your
 fingertips, along with a trackball, dedicated programming section and 
two touchscreen displays. The EC-200 also provides instant access to 
switch sources live on program, and enables users to select large groups
 of resources at the same time, and manipulate layers like never before.
 
Higher situational awareness
The EC-200 gives users greater situational awareness and worry-free 
operation by enabling them to check more information simultaneously and 
know precisely what will happen next. The controller is the perfect tool
 for a wide range of shows – from a tradeshow booth, to a large 
corporate event, even for the largest music tours.
