Barco Creates VLI Business Unit

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA—Barco has formed the Video & Lighting Integration (VLI) Business Unit, a new global entity purpose-built for system integrators to meet the increasing demand for integrated solutions in the fixed installation marketplace.

VLI’s product portfolio will include projection, image processing, indoor and outdoor LED solutions, creative LED solutions, plus a wealth of lighting and show control products—as provided via Barco’s recent acquisition of Austin-based High End Systems

• In addition to the broad portfolio, VLI channel partners will have exclusive access to Barco’s centralized sales, service, and channel support network. This translates into one contact point for products, 24/7 technical support, in-house technicians, spare parts, and quick turn-around for repairs. VLI partners will also have access to a program that includes lead generation, pre- and post-sales support, proposal and project support, training, and marketing resources.
