Barco announced that Lockheed Martin has selected its advanced video processing technology for the F-35 Lightning II JSF training program.
The technology from Barco, a world leader in high-performance image processing and visual display systems, will be incorporated into the F-35 training simulators to provide the video routing, mixing, and warping capabilities for strike fighter flight training subsystems.
Barco's turnkey solution will play a pivotal role in effectively managing and shaping the visual system's imaging and video signals. It is a collaborative effort between Barco's simulation and media & entertainment divisions to deliver the world's best video processing and image warping solutions to the JSF program.
Barco's turnkey solution includes the MatrixPRO DVI and MatrixPro VRM systems which will be used for efficiently routing and mixing SXGA and QXGA video signals. The JSF solution also employs Barco's advanced WARP7 image warping system. This technology will be used to successfully scale, warp, and route images which are displayed to the Pilot during training on various aircraft displays. Integral to the solutions delivery, is Barco's comprehensive service and support plan. Barco will provide project management from start to finish, perform the system installation and integration, offer engineering support, prepare and supply system documentation, and conduct final customer acceptance testing.
Barco, a global technology company, designs and develops visualization products for a variety of professional markets. Barco is headquartered in Belgium and is present in more than 90 countries with about 3800 employees worldwide.
