Barco Event Master E2
Large-format presentation switcher and screen management system for corporate and arena work: multiple mixable layers across several outputs, with soft-edge blending and native backup pathways.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| sdi | bidirectional | 3G-SDI inputs and outputs on the standard cards. |
| genlock | in | Genlock reference input. |
| osc | in | Control via third-party systems over the network API. |
Connectors
- Modular input cards (SDI, HDMI, DisplayPort)
- Modular output cards
- Genlock in/loop
- Gigabit control
What to watch for
E2 systems are configured as a whole show: inputs, backgrounds, layers and destinations. A "spare E2" is only a spare if the show file and the same card population go with it.
Layer count is a resource shared across destinations, not a per-screen number. Adding a screen late can silently cost you layers on the main screen.
