The top products of the past year are here once again. Chosen by our panels of prestigious judges in three categories—lighting, projection, and sound—several months were spent debating the Live Design 2014-2015 Products Of The Year. Congratulations to the teams that developed these products and all those who support them. The Projection Product Of The Year for screen management is the Barco E2 4K Screen Management System.
Raising the bar for live screen management, the E2 presentation system provides superior image quality, exceptional input and output density, and great expandability and durability. Supporting native 4K input and output, it is the first and only screen management system on the market that can manage a 4K projector blend, with refresh rates up to 60Hz. A truly versatile system, it offers eight mixable PGM outputs and four scaled aux outputs for full show control with a single box.“The E2 can handle a massive amount of video bandwidth and can fit virtually any application that requires a 4K workflow,” notes one of our judges. “On top of having the sheer power to handle a 4K system, the software is cross-platform, and there is a new API allowing third-parties to develop their own interfaces for the system, making it a truly modular and infinitely configurable device.”
