Marketing Information

The LC-42 offers native HDTV resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) on a large 42 inch (1067 mm) screen. In boardrooms it allows to show optimal detail in large spreadsheets. The wide viewing angle of 176° makes it ideal for use in collaborative meetings. Thanks to picture-in picture or picture-and-picture two information sources can be viewed simultaneously.

A very short response time (8 ms) makes the display ideally suited for video. The light sensor automatically adapts the contrast ratio to the ambient light conditions. A 3200 K color setting is especially interesting for use in TV studios and production houses while a loop through connection allows to drive multiple displays from a single source.

Features

Native ultra-high resolution
With a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the Barco LC-42 high-resolution display show even more data and more detail on a large 42 inch (106.7cm) 16:9 LCD screen. The native HD resolution delivers bright and crisp images that do full justice to HD graphics and video.

Fast response time
The fast response time (8 ms grey to grey) reproduces fast-moving action scenes with vivid accuracy.

Wide viewing angle
The wide viewing angle (176°) is very beneficial in meeting environments where detailed information is viewed by all participants.

Configurable ambient light sensor
For optimal viewing comfort under varying light conditions the ambient light sensor can be configured to switch the backlights to a lower level when the ambient light has dropped below a user-defined threshold.

Black level adjust
The OSD allows adjustment of the black level of the analog input (VGA) for a perfectly balanced image.

Picture in Picture (PIP) Picture and Picture (PAP)
Displaying two images - in any mix of data and video - next to one another or as Picture-in-Picture provides the audience with a dynamic presentation, displaying more information. Size and position of the Picture-in-Picture are easily configurable.

Adjustable color temperature
The color temperature can be set to 3200, 5400, 6500 or 9300K to adjust the color balance to studio lighting requirements e.g. for backdrop applications when filmed with a studio camera. User adjustment of the color balance is also possible with R, G and B sliders.

Frame Lock and Genlock
The Barco LC-42 automatically lock to the input frequency of the connected source in order to play in-phase and in-frame sync with the input signal (50-60 Hz). Since no frame rate conversion is done, the motion is smooth, without judder. If the signal source is genlocked with the studio camera, the camera will also run in sync with the monitor and no phase shift will be visible on the recorded film.

Low noise, fanless cooling system
The noise level is kept below 21 dB(A), which is an absolutely unnoticeable noise level, even when the LCD display is used in small rooms, such as TV newsrooms or boardrooms.

VESA mounting structure for easy installation
Integrated mounting interfaces according to the VESA standards allow easy wall or ceiling installation with any VESA-approved standard. Table stands and mounting devices are optional.

Wide variety of inputs
Adhering to the most stringent professional standards, the LC-42 offers a wide variety of inputs for the majority of video and data sources: analog and digital RGB, S-video, composite and component video, HD-SDI input (optional from Q4 2006). The internal power supply is automatic ranging from 85 VAC to 264 VAC.

Control & diagnostics
With extensive control and diagnostic functions through RS232, the LC-42 display can be easily controlled, both on or off site or in real time with a simple touch of a button
