ISONATM: the new heart of the OPS room

To keep up with today’s fast technological evolutions, modern traffic management
environments need high-performance system components offering maximum
flexibility, modularity and upgradability. Barco, a world-leader in imaging technology,
has demonstrated expertise in the development of truly innovative solutions that
meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges in safe and efficient traffic management.

Building upon the success of ISIS

TM

, the world’s first large screen flat panel display for

Air Traffic Management, and V

ISONA

TM

, Barco’s single-box multiple display server, Barco
now introduces ISONATM, the latest addition to its innovative component line for the ATC
market. ISONATMis the world’s first integrated display station, combining graphics
generator, visualization software and 2Kx2K LCD display into a single-unit, slimline
package. I

SONA

TM

only needs an external power and network connection to become the

heart of the OPS room.

Fully integrated 2Kx2K display station

The integrated I

SONA

TM

display station combines all proven benefits of Barco’s

advanced ISIS

TM

main display and high-performance ViSONATMserver in a single

physical unit.

I

SONA

TM

features the same 28” 2Kx2K LCD main display as ISISTM, which ensures crisp
and clear images at all times. Thanks to its enhanced LCD brightness and excellent
viewing angle, ISONA

TM

successfully counteracts eye fatigue and presents operators

with accurate information, even in difficult ambient conditions.

The integrated display server acts as a networked graphics device that translates X11
protocol into video for up to 4 displays while interfacing with local input devices. The
unique architecture of I

SONA

TM

eliminates the need for graphics generation on the
application computer, thus increasing overall performance and generating more
freedom for future reconfigurations and updates. In this way, I

SONA

TM

provides an

optimized, cost-effective visualization solution.

ISONATMbenefits:

Lower cost

• lower investment

• lower life cycle cost

• lower operational cost

Reduced risk

• reduced integration risk

• flexible upgrades

Simplified architecture

• network centric

• fast and easy upgrades

• system redundancy

• slimline console

Flexible architecture

Flexibility and ease of integration were
key elements in the development of

ISONA

TM

. Its innovative single-unit
concept offers system integrators all
benefits of a flexible, networked
solution. The integrated design
simplifies new system architectures
and allows easy integration into
existing systems. Each

ISONA

TM

display
station can drive up to three auxiliary
displays.

Remote functionality

Thanks to its open network interface,

ISONA

TM

can be used as a network
addressable application display,
combining graphics generation and
display function in one functional unit.
With

ISONA

TM

, the controller working
position can be installed hundreds of
meters away from the application
platforms, which allows independent
upgrades of both the graphics
generation system and the display
system.

ISONA

TM

is ready for Barco’s TELLAR

TM

display recording software module.

Compact design

I

SONA

TM

display stations offer a
lightweight, low-depth, ergonomic
solution that can easily be installed into
both new and existing ATC workstations.
The display’s slim footprint allows the
design of very compact controller
working positions, whereas its smart
single-unit concept simplifies cabling
and driving management. Furthermore,
I

SONA

TM

features an efficient power
supply, which greatly reduces heat
output, and an intelligent backlight
system, which provides a calibrated
and stabilized light output.

Low life cycle cost

The innovative I

SONA

TM

introduces a new
concept to conventional operational
display systems. This new approach
results in a lower total component
count, which makes I

SONA

TM

the most
cost-efficient visualization solution
available today.
Moreover, I

SONA

TM

fits into a proactive
obsolescence management strategy,
since it has been conceptually designed
for future technology insertions.
