UK - The Barco Viewscape Image Controller has arrived at Cheshire based, Keyteq and is being heralded as "the ultimate, soft-edge blended, wide-screen vision mixer for live events." The exceptional piece of kit is a multi-input, multi-display control device allowing the user to show a multitude of windowed inputs onto a set-up of combined displays. It is able to control both projection and plasma displays directly and daylight displays indirectly and offers a wide range of effects such as alpha blending, chroma keying and z-order control.The arrival of the Viewscape has been eagerly awaited by Keyteq’s clients and with confirmed bookings well into the summer it looks as if it will be a very popular piece of kit. Based in Altrincham, Cheshire, Keyteq is an independent rental company servicing both conference production companies and event organisers, and is one of the first a-v rental companies in the UK to purchase the Viewscape. Demonstrations of the Viewscape can be arranged by calling Peter Rzeskiewicz on 0161 941 6469.
