Barco video wall upgrade kits are not a side issue in control rooms. They help decide whether operators can see information reliably, operate systems stably and keep technical installations maintainable in 24/7 operation. controlrooms GmbH plans, integrates and supports these components as part of a complete control room architecture.
Modernising existing video walls in a targeted way
Not every existing video wall has to be replaced immediately. In many control rooms a targeted upgrade is more economical: better image quality, more stable components, lower maintenance costs and less risk of failure. Barco upgrade kits help bring existing systems into a more modern operating logic.
controlrooms does not just check the individual module, but the entire control room environment. What matters is whether visualisation, controllers, signal paths, service access and operator workstations still fit together. Only then does an upgrade really help in operation.
Upgrade instead of blind replacement
A clean modernisation step starts with an inventory: model, age, operating hours, image quality, spare-parts situation, maintenance history and operator requirements. From this comes a technical recommendation: service, upgrade, partial replacement or complete modernisation.
In 24/7 environments in particular, a conversion must be plannable. controlrooms draws up phased plans so that operation can continue and the control room does not turn into a building site with a screen backdrop.
What operators should look out for
- Assessment of existing Barco video walls
- Upgrade planning for rear projection, LCD and controllers
- Reduction of failure risk and maintenance effort
- Step-by-step modernisation during live operation
- Alignment with Barco CTRL, CMS and KVM architecture
controlrooms as system integrator
The practical difference lies in responsibility. Individual components can be procured quickly; a control room, however, has to work as a system. controlrooms combines visualisation, KVM, room, furniture, ergonomics, IT security, service and maintenance into a solution that holds up in operation.
For operators this means fewer interfaces, clear points of contact, traceable technical decisions and an architecture that can be extended later. This is exactly where control room technology parts ways with a normal AV installation.

Control room technology is not decided on the data sheet alone. In our showrooms you experience control room planning, Barco visualisation, KVM systems, operator workstations, ergonomics and service working together in practice. Visits are possible by appointment.
Frequently asked questions about video wall upgrades
When does a video wall upgrade make sense?
When the installation is still fundamentally usable, but image quality, spare-parts availability, maintenance costs or ease of operation no longer suit 24/7 operation.
Does an old video wall always have to be replaced completely?
No. controlrooms checks whether service, upgrade kits, controller modernisation or a phased plan are more economical than a complete replacement.
Can operation continue during the modernisation?
In many cases, yes. This requires precise planning of construction phases, substitute displays, signal paths and service windows.
Who assesses the right solution?
controlrooms assesses the technical and economic situation as system integrator and Barco Gold Partner in Austria.
