CMS

　　Barco's CMS software is an advanced control room management suite that facilitates decision-making and allows more efficient collaboration. Barco's control room management suite provides operators and decision-makers with easy access to information and allows them to connect to information, to configure how it is displayed, and to collaborate in the most efficient way.

　　Connect

　　Thanks to its networked concept, Barco's CMS software enables users to easily connect to a multitude of sources, regardless of where the information has to be presented – on small LCD displays, video walls or operator workstations. Since all sources are available over the network, no dedicated hardware is necessary to visualize the information.

　　Control

　　Barco's CMS suite offers nearly unlimited possibilities to control and manage displays and sources. Thanks to the usability-engineered CMS environment, managing information is done intuitively.

　　Collaborate

　　With the CMS software, Barco has redefined control room collaboration. Through the unique concept of Perspectives, CMS allows to make more efficient use of the control room display estate, and to share user-defined information views with colleagues more efficiently.

　　Barco's CMS suite benefits

　　Visualizing any information anytime, anywhere

　　Thanks to its networked architecture, Barco's CMS allows to monitor operations and visualize real-time content from anywhere in the control room facility. Be it on a small display, a workstation or a video wall, the sources can be distributed and displayed as many times as required in any location.

　　Efficient use of display estate

　　Barco's CMS software contains a set of advanced features which allow operators to easily work with high-density information and share it more efficiently.

　　Seamless and risk-free integration into your control room

　　Barco's CMS suite is a hardware independent, networked visualization software package which seamlessly integrates into your control room environment.

　　Future-proof hardware acceleration

　　In order to meet the ever ongoing evolution of PC technology, Barco also offers dedicated, firmware upgradeable hardware accelerator cards, which significantly extend PC capabilities. The CMS software is fully compatible with Barco's PWS controller series and Barco's universal streaming video cards.

　　All-round control room management

　　Barco's CMS monitoring and collaboration software proves its power in various types of small to medium sized control rooms. From surveillance centers to broadcast studios, Barco's CMS suite allows operators to make the most of their complex networked control room environment.

　　Control room management at your fingertips

　　Connect Barco's CMS control room management suite is able to connect to a wide variety of sources and displays via the network. The control room management suite fully supports the Barco PWS controller line which allows to offload software decoding and rendering tasks from the CPU onto the specialized input boards.

 

　　Control

　　The control room management suite allows operators to quickly and effectively organize sources, displays and workstations throughout the control room. With the soft KVM control they can seize control of a networked PC, display wall or workstation using the local keyboard and mouse. The Instant Remote Desktop Control functionality allows them to take over control of a neighboring workstation by moving the mouse pointer off the screen onto a previously selected display.

 

　　The Sidebar

　　contains all features to access, control, configure and display sources, displays and Perspectives. A perspective is a window which contains one or more sources that can be arranged and positioned freely. Additionally, the Sidebar contains a wide variety of decoration components, called decorators, which visualize metadata on these sources.

　　The Mini-Display

　　provides direct remote control over a certain display’s content. Loading presets of applications and sources can be managed from here, as well as moving and sizing of the windows on the remote display. You can drag and drop from the Sidebar, which is an easy and intuitive way of changing the content on the remote display.

　　The Control Panel

　　bundles all administration functions available in the control room management suite.

　　Switching capabilities

　　With a simple drag and drop action, it is possible to easily switch sources within a Perspective. A possible scenario might be the one illustrated below.

 

　　Collaborate

　　Through the unique concept of Perspectives, CMS allows to make more efficient use of the control room display estate, and to share user-defined information views with colleagues more efficiently.

　　Sharing Perspectives

　　Perspectives are windows which can contain any number of sources. They can be opened from any location, on any display and workstation in the system. Perspectives can easily be created and modified with drag and drop actions via the Sidebar.

　　Sharing Perspectives between manned and unmanned displays creates a multitude of collaboration possibilities. First it is no longer necessary to put a layout on a video wall if only one other operator has to see it. Second, from one workstation it is very simple to share a Perspective with a colleague.

　　Combining Perspectives into video wall regions

　　The use of user-specific Perspectives and regions also facilitates collaboration in complex situations. Different user-specific Perspectives from various operators can be brought together on one video wall or display. This way an operator has a dedicated surface to his disposal which cannot be modified by other operators.
