Barco Image Processing

04/08/2026

We’re in Japan this week for the Encore3 Open House at Ray, a long‑time user of Barco Image Processing products, and it’s been a fantastic showcase of what this platform can really do.

Our esteemed partner Ishimura‑san, along with the Technohouse team, put together a great demo that covered the core, real‑world use cases—and then, just for fun, pushed the boundaries of the box. 🚀

It was very much a “let me show you what you can do with Encore3” moment, highlighting not only its flexibility, but also how far you can take it when creativity meets capability.

Huge thanks to Technohouse for the collaboration and energy. This is what great partnerships look like!

Did you say unbelievable value?

Absolutely. 🤯

For a very limited time, when you purchase two Encore3 chassis with link cards, you unlock up to twelve Gen2 I/O cards at no added cost. That is massive ROI on a system built for boundless scale and premium performance.

The power of two means bigger canvases, bigger creativity, and bigger impact, now at an exceptionally attractive offer that won't return anytime soon. Act now... Contact your Barco representative for all information on this unique bonus package.
