Guarantee and Compensation
BARCO provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated
terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser must immediately inspect all delivered goods for
damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults. BARCO must
be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and
software on the date of commissioning, at the latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event
of justified notice of complaint, BARCO can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own
discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful,
the purchaser can demand a reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract (redhibition). All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage,
and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by
BARCO, being a component of the system or independent services, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing
or due to the intent or gross negligence on the part of BARCO.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on good delivered by BARCO,
or if the goods are handled incorrectly, in particular if the systems are commissioned or operated
incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in
the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the
guarantee coverage are system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e. g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal maintenance are
not subject to the guarantee provided by BARCO either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in
this manual must be complied with by the customer.

1.3 Safety Instructions
This section describes safety precautions, which must be observed when installing and operating a
product from BARCO.
1.3.1 Precautions
For your own protection, observe the following safety precautions when installing,
operating and servicing your device:
Before operating the units please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference!
Observe all warnings and instructions printed on the devices!
Servicing not explicitly mentioned in this manual should never be carried out by unauthorized
personnel! Never open the case of the unit without first disconnecting the power supply cord!
To prevent fire or electrical shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture!
This product should be operated from an AC power source!
This unit may be connected to an IT power system!
Check that the voltage and frequency of your power supply match those printed on the device
label with the rated electrical values!
If you are not sure of the type of AC power available, consult your dealer or local power com-
pany!
This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug!
This equipment must be grounded (earthed) via the supplied 3 conductor AC power cable. (If
the supplied power cable is not the correct on, consult your dealer.)
R5976214 VisuPlus Video Insertion Unit June 2003
Mains lead (AC Power cord) with CEE 7 plug:
The wires of the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where people will
walk on the cord. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on
the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.
Lightning - For extra protection for this product during a lightning storm or when it is lift un-
attended and unused for a long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and AC power-line surges.
R5976214 VisuPlus Video Insertion Unit June 2003
1.3.2 Unpacking of Devices
Note advises on the packaging for unpacking!
1.3.3 Installation
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious
damage to it.
Do not use this unit near water.
Use only the power cord supplied with your unit. While appearing to be similar, other power
cords have not been safety tested at the factory and may not be used to power the unit. For a
replacement power cord, contact your dealer.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the sides are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable
operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
The maximum recommended ambient temperature for this equipment is 40° C.
When using the unit in a multi-unit rack assembly or closed assembly the ambient temperature
inside the assembly may not succeed the maximum rated ambient temperature.
When installed in a rack, the installation should be such that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The mounting of the equipment should be
such that no hazardous condition is achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
1.3.4 Servicing
Mechanical or electrical modifications others than described in this manual must not be made to
the devices. BARCO is not liable for damages resulting from modified devices.
Only authorized personnel should carry out other maintenance work not explicitly
mentioned in this installation manual!
PLUS
ISU
Never open the case of V
Measurements and tests with the opened device may be carried out only in the
factory or by specially trained personnel, due to the dangers of electrical shock.
1.3.5 Cleaning
without first disconnecting the power supply cord!
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. See section
1.3.6 Re-Packing
5.2 Cleaning for a cleaning instruction!
Keep the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have
to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your set as it was originally packed at the factory.

With V

OVERVIEW Display Walls and be integrated into the X window applications or a Microsoft Windows desktop controlled by EOS.
The video- and RGB-windows displayed by VISU
PLUS
can be manipulated in contrast, brightness,
color etc. As well they can be zoomed in and out.
The V
PLUS
ISU
system is a modular system, which holds a processor board, one to four input modules and one to four output modules. Any combination of inputs and outputs is possible, i.e. you
may for example have two output cards, two video input cards and two RGB input cards installed.
This then offers you the possibility to display two video and two RGB sources anywhere within a
2x1 or 1x2 display matrix area.

VISU
– Standalone Setup
A VISU
PLUS
standalone system is mainly used in application areas where there is a need for displaying different information sources (Video or RGB) within a matrix of display systems (projectors or other display medium). Sources displayed may be moved, re-scaled and treated in a number
of other ways via control software, which is installed on a control PC. To control the functions of
PLUS
V
ISU
and to locate and size the video and RGB windows an additional control PC is needed.
This control PC is operated with the Linux operating system.
The V
PLUS
ISU
standalone product is almost identical to the VISU
PLUS
product for EOS systems. The
functionality is largely the same, some minor hardware aspects together with some internal operation differs between both products.
