ImagePRO family
All-in-one video scaler, scan converter and switcher
BR ImagePro family Oct18.indd 1 20/11/18 09:06
Empower your events
Since 2004, ImagePROs have been the go-to solution, ensuring live events are
successful – both in terms of scaling images correctly to fi t any format and o ering
the very best image quality within each format.
For video professionals, the ImagePRO is the ultimate multi-functional problem
solver. All of the ImagePROs support format conversion, scaling, and switching. When
4K is required, both the ImagePRO-II and the ImagePRO-4K are the go-to boxes.
When you need maximum processing power, the ImagePRO-4K provides extreme
performance with ultra-low latency, 12-bit internal processing and up to 4K60p 4:4:4
10bit signals. No matter what format you work in, you can be sure it will be scaled
and converted accurately.
Easily the best
ImagePRO-4K makes it incredibly easy
to get sensational results. In terms of
performance, it utilizes industry-specifi c
scaling algorithms designed for the
lowest latency and best image quality to
process signals up to 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit.
Operation and confi guration are easily
managed from the front panel or the
Event Master Toolset, with the ability to
preview upcoming sources on the front
panel. With a similar menu structure
across the line, even the newest
ImagePRO feels familiar.
What does 12-bit bring you?
8-bit precision
Matrix mode:
all the tools in one box
Not only is the ImagePRO a great
converter, it also acts as a fantastic
multi-format scaler and switcher.
That’s three boxes in one – without the
need to worry about connectivity or
compatibility.
Pros that go for the ImagePRO-4K fi nd
themselves working with the equivalent
of six ImagePROs in one box. Imagine
the possibilities that will o er upcoming
events and installations.
12-bit processing for better
images in every format
To keep you up-to-spec with the
demands of today’s 4K market, all
ImagePRO models boast 12-bit internal
processing as standard. The jump from
8- to 12-bit processing is exponential.
No matter the input or output format,
your signals are always processed with
12-bit accuracy, creating better scaling
and conversion.
The result is simple: faster and more
accurate processing that leads to lower
latency and the fi nest levels of detail in
each format – even if the output is 8-bit.
The ImagePRO-4K also opens the door
to using full HDR signals.

Fantastic return on investment
This combination of extreme fl exibility
This combination of extreme fl exibility
and quality gives a fantastic return on
investment and a long product lifetime.
Designed and built to survive the road,
the ImagePRO-4K keeps earning.
With modular cards shared by the Event
Master family of products, it is fi eldserviceable, keeping it on the job and
not on the shelf. Down time and shelf
time are kept to a minimum, and show
time to the max.
Should new signal formats and
connectors emerge in the future, the
ImagePRO-4K is also fi eld-upgradeable
by changing the modular input and
output cards.
Being a scaler, switcher, converter,
matrix switcher, even a reference sync
generator, the many uses save the
expense of carrying multiple devices to
perform multiple tasks.
When it comes to shipping and racking,
the small size of the ImagePRO-4K will
save you space and shipping costs.
LED at your fi ngertips
Need to slice and dice LED signals? The
ImagePRO 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.
There was never a second thought when it
came to adopting the ImagePRO-4K. Looking
at the current state of the market and the need
to push more pixels, the ImagePRO-4K is the
logical step. The ability to take the latest highres inputs along with the processing power
and reliability made early adoption an easy
decision for Rentex and our clients.

Superb performance
In 2004 the Folsom ImagePRO
revolutionized HD video processing for
live events. In 2018 the ImagePRO-4K
continues that legacy and takes it even
further, processing signals from XGA to
full 4K60p 4:4:4 10-bit.
The latest I/O connectors enable
you to seamlessly convert HDMI 2.0,
DisplayPort 1.2 and 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-4K performs just as well at
the gig as it does in the shop. Modular
input and output cards keep it on the
road and o the shelf.
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: single channel pre-scaling
Since most LED walls are not a standard 4K resolution, the
incoming signal needs pre-scaling or cropping (e.g. UHD 3840
x 2160px) to the actual resolution of the LED wall. ImagePRO’s
12-bit processing preserves the signal’s details and color.
