On 12/4/14 Barco silently released the GUI software for the Encore 2. The Event Master Toolset is used in the setup and operation of the soon to be released sequel to the Encore line of switchers. Supporting 4K with 28 inputs and 14 outputs (eight PGM, two Multi-viewer and four scaled AUXs), the E2 is going to play a crucial role in the future of Live Event Visuals

Video Engineering is an experience driven career path. Electrical Engineering fundamentals are a necessary component, but working in the field requires knowing the intricacies of every component in their system. Video systems engineering requires utilizing whatever combination of tools available to accomplish the task at hand.

One thing that many engineers have difficulty installing Video Matrix Routers into Video Engineering systems when introduced to unfamiliar brands(differing Default IPs, Serial Protocols, custom UIs etc). Each has its pros/and cons, so I hope I can give you troubleshooting tips to get you up and running. Lightware Routers in particular, are fantastic once you understand some of the features(not bugs) of the product, and we hope this can help you find success on your next production. We are available to help troubleshoot your next video system configuration, or design pixel-perfect motion-graphics optimized for your playback/distribution systems.

Good Luck!
