Barco unveils display software for large-scale images

Barco has unveiled Conference CloneView for projecting high-quality medical images onto a large-screen display. The software tool enables projection configurations for a host of applications in teaching hospitals, auditoriums and teleconference rooms.

Conference CloneView allows medical professionals to clone outputs from one or two medical displays onto any display or projector attached to the same graphics board. The cloned image is downscaled using an algorithm designed such that pixels contribute to the final projected image. The tool also allows zooming and panning provides the option to preserve the aspect ratio, or stretch the image.

The tool is available as a software feature with Barco’s MXRT medical display controllers. Using the MXRT boards for triple-head imaging, CloneView can combine two display outputs into one output signal and feed it to the projector. The software runs on Microsoft Windows 7.
