2. Installation requirements
2.1 Mechanical requirements
Support structure
The support structure has to be provided and installed by the customer because they vary from system to system. Although, the
following must be taken into account and must be precisely calculated on individual basis:
1. Weight tolerances : Ensure that the support structure and the floor on which or the wall against which the support structure
has to be installed, is able to handle the complete weight of the fixed ILite display.
2. Environmental conditions : Humidity, temperatures, etc.
3. Location
4. Ground stability
5. Front clearances : For optimal impact ensure that there is sufficient free area in front of the ILite display and respect the
maximum viewing distance.
6. Local regulations regarding such installations
The ILite display has an average weight of 74 kg per square meter display or 14,8 kg per installed ILite tile.
WARNING: Never construct an ILite display if there is uncertainty regarding the stability of an installation or
the load holding capabilities. If there are doubts on a systems viability, consult Barco for advice on professional rigging organizations.
Example of support structure
The support structure in this example is pure illustrative for 7 x 5 ILite display. Several variants of support structures are possible for
the same size of ILite display. Contact Barco for more information.
Image 2-1
Support structure for ILite display (at the right with tile grid).
Attachment points
Barco provides fixation plates and brackets to attach the ILite precision frames with the support structure. For that the support
structure must be equipped with attachment points and it’s obvious that the size of these attachment points must match the size of
the fixation plate. The quantity and the location of the attachment points on the support structure depends on the height and the
width of the ILite display. Consult Barco to know the amount and exact location of the attachment points for your ILite display.

Power requirements
One ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC. Note that five ILite tiles correspond with a display surface of
1 m². Power split cables are used to link the power from ILite tile to ILite tile. However, MAXIMUM six (6) tiles may be connected in
parallel. So, one power source cable has to be provided per six (6) tiles. Every power source cable should be protected by a circuit
breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada).
Barco provides a range of power boxes, which meet the requirements of your ILite display. Contact Barco for
more information about power boxes and power requirements for your fixed ILite display.
Power system:
It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and ground

3. Components of a fixed ILite display
3.1 ILite precision frames
Introduction
The basic building blocks of an ILite display are the ILite precision frames. These precision frames, which are mounted and leveled upon a solid support structure, allow a fast and correct installation of the ILite tiles. Due to the multitude of possible screen
sizes/configurations Barco offers six different sizes of precision frames. The size of the precision frames is expressed in a number
of ILite tiles, which fit horizontally and vertically in such a frame:
•H2xV2(R9850780)
•H2xV3(R9850781)
•H3xV2(R9850782)
•H3xV3(R9850783)
•H3xV4(R9850784)
•H4xV3(R9850785)

Each precision frame is coded with a letter followed by two numbers. The letter indicates the ILite display to which this precision
frame is part of (very useful in case there is more than one ILite display to install at the same location). The first number indicates the
row in which to assemble, the second indicates the column. This code starts counting from the bottom left corner of the ILite display.

Left and/or bottom side removal of the ILite precision frames
For transport reasons all the precision frames are delivered with all the sides attached. To join two assembly blocks together, one
of the two sides at the adjoining edge, has to be removed.
Either none, one or two sides of the precision frame have to be removed, depending on its location in the complete wall assembly.
The sides that need to be detached are either the left side or the bottom side or both, because the ILite display is build from left to
right and bottom to top.

• No sides need to be detached from the first precision frame, which is located in the lower left corner of the ILite display.
• From the precision frames located in the bottom row of the ILite display only the left side needs to be detached.
• From the precision frames located in the left column of the ILite display only the bottom side needs to be detached.
• From all other precision frames in the ILite display as well the left as the bottom side need to be detached.

3.2 ILite tile
Introduction ILite tile
The ILite display is delivering a quality picture of a video cube without its inherent technology limits as hotspot-effect, jailhouseeffect, alignment problems and low contrast level. But offering shallow depth, long lifetime, increased ruggedness and incredible
picture dynamics. Built-in intelligence provides for auto-calibration of the full display, hot swap of tiles and diagnostic capabilities.
An embedded PC equips every ILite tile, providing it with intelligence and advanced logic handling capabilities. This PC is the host
of a great deal of the added value offered by the ILite. An extreme fill factor and high resolution offers a full color blended picture at
distances smaller than 3 meters. Half of the full brightness is still perceived at angles of 145º from the surface of the display.
Image 3-13
ILite tile.
Functionality
All tiles in an ILite display are connected in series via a data path. The physical location of a tile in the data path does not matter
because within the ILite display all tiles are equal. But the data path must be created in a daisy chain manner. Each tile picks out a
part of the video information of the data stream on the data path a

nd processes this information for displaying on its LED’s.
Re-sync unit
Every tile contains a re-sync unit (A) which can easily be removed. The re-sync unit synchronizes the incoming data stream and
sends it to the next tile. The data ports (B) on the re-sync unit are bidirectional. So, it doesn’t matter on which port the data is coming

The re-sync unit can easily be removed from the ILite tile without disconnecting the data cables. This allows
a hot swap of the ILite tile.
Cables used with ILite tiles
The display tile is provided with power via a power split cable with a C13 plug. Data cabling between tiles is done with a DVI-DVI
data cable of 0,9 meter.

3.3 Power boxes
General
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the ILite display, a suitable system for AC power distribution must be used. Though 3
party solutions may be used, several sizes and types of power distributions are available from Barco. For smaller system the “Mono
Phase Power Box” can be used, medium sized system may use on of several custom power box solutions. We also offer power
distribution systems in a flight case for rental and touring applications.
