Powerful systems tend to be complex – but they don’t need to be. Although it has the potential to create a worldwide network, Barco CTRL is surprisingly simple to set up and use. The user interface was designed for intuitive operation, based on our many talks with control room professionals.
The KVM over IT solution for your control room
Yes, you read it correctly: KVM over IT! Because with Barco CTRL, we go beyond KVM over IP, providing you a control room platform that answers your needs. Where KVM over IP connects operators to multiple systems, KVM over IT integrates them into one coherent environment, with unified desk and wall management, native IT security, and no interoperability headaches. Because Barco CTRL integrates with your IT infrastructure rather than sitting next to it, it benefits from everything already in place: MFA, audit logging, centralized device management, and more. It is the difference between a useful tool and a fully connected operational platform.
What drives Barco CTRL
You need to prepare for the future – even if you don’t know what it brings. When designing CTRL, its flexibility was therefore a prime requirement. By simply adding encoders you can expand the number of inputs. Extra decoders add more operator positions and/or video walls.
Strictly following the ‘Security by design’ principles, the platform allows users to securely connect to their sources, from any location. Barco CTRL also has a Zero Trust architecture, which means it can be deployed in any environment.

Additional control room applications
Next to the general command and control functionalities, upholding security is in many cases the main focus of government organizations. Depending on the case, this can be (cyber)security or decision-making. This sometimes requires a specific type of control room. Also for these applications Barco has dedicated solutions in its portfolio.
