Ultimate peace of mind
The OverView OL-721 video wall modules have been designed for an entirely maintenance-free operation over several years, without any need for consumables. Barco's unique liquid cooling system ensures lower LED temperature, resulting in longer LED lifetime (>80,000 hours in eco mode). Displaying the sharpest and most saturated colors in full HD resolution (1920x1080), the OverView OL-721 offers an ergonomically excellent viewing experience. The availability of alternative screen types makes sure you can adjust the Video Wall to your specific needs in terms of viewing angle and brightness.
Always the most optimal picture
OverView OL series video walls come with Sense6, Barco's unique sensor technology that provides brightness and color stability over time and across the entire display. Sense6 continuously measures brightness and color by means of a high-quality spectrometer, and adjusts the color space to provide an image that is most convenient for the human eye. This means that no maintenance or manual adjustments are needed. The colors can also be adjusted to the very specific needs of TV cameras, making the OverView OL series suitable for backdrop applications.
Award-winning design
The OverView OL series design, combining usability with style, has been lauded with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award and was nominated for the German Design Award. The individual modules have the smallest depth on the market today, allowing to build the most shallow video walls possible. This makes the OverView OL series the product of choice for installation in confined spaces.

Used Video Panels
Video panels are used in concerts in order to create a large video wall for displaying visual effects and close-up shots of the performers during the concert. A video wall panel, also called a visual display panel or video tile, can be made from various different technologies, such as LCD panels, LED panel, rear projection screens and DLP tiles. LED video panel technology is one of the most favored types in video panels, as it is cheap to use, doesn??t overheat and provides an exceptionally sharp, clear image on the screen.
Video panels are preferred to a single, extra large video screen for a number of reasons, not least because of the cost involved in creating an extra large video screen. Video panels can be disassembled, making them easier to transport, and they can also be customized ?? for example you can have an outdoor video panel or an indoor video panel, and by using individual panels the pixel density is usually much greater.
One notable feature of video panels is that the ??bezels?, the plastic surround that lines the edge of the video tile, is especially narrow. These are kept as narrow as possible on video panels so that the image on the finished video wall is not impacted noticeably by separating lines.
Although it would actually be feasible to use multiple television sets or computer monitors to make a video wall, specially designed video panels are the preferred option, as they feature the necessary hardware to allow for smooth integration of all the video tiles used. This makes video panels easy to connect together with regards to power source and commands between the different screens, so their brightness and contrast can be easily calibrated.
