ImagePRO-4K – All-in-one video scaler, scan converter and switcher

Scale, convert and switch images for the way shows are created in a 4K world

  • The highest resolutions (4K 60p)
  • The best color performance (4:4:4 sampling, 10-bit colors).
  • The lowest latency for a scaler of this class (1 frame, progressive)

Superb performance
ImagePRO revolutionized live events in 2004. ImagePRO-4K goes even further as it easily scales, converts and switches the highest quality signals without latency (4K, 4:4:4, 60p, 10-bit), effectively solving glitches before they even occur.
The latest I/O connectors enable you to seamlessly convert HDMI 2.0, DP 1.2 and 3G-12G SDI signals while also enabling output image rotation.
Put simply, the flexibility and power of the ImagePRO is the backbone on which you build shows that run without a hitch.

Road-ready and reliable
Like all Barco image processing products, the ImagePRO-4K is built for life on the road. Assembled and tested for extreme use and abuse, the ImagePRO performs just as well at the gig as it does in the shop. What’s more, the live-source view on the front panel provides you with a clear view of the incoming signal giving you the confidence you need to execute your event flawlessly.

LED at your fingertips
Need to slice and dice LED signals? The ImagePRO-4K does it with ease. Either chop up single inputs across several connectors, or drive multiple walls from multiple sources. The LED set-up menu will guide you through the process to achieve pixel perfect images. The 12-bit internal processing handles pre-scaling or cropping to an LED wall's actual resolution - in perfect detail.
