1 min read

With the growing popularity of large-scale media events, Evolve Media Group is investing in Barco's 4K image processing solutions, and is the first to purchase the S3-4K compact screen management system and EC-50 controller.


A technology-focused sales, rental, leasing and training company, Evolve is strategically positioning itself for the evolution to 4K presentation by acquiring Barco’s Event Master series products, beginning with the purchase of multiple E2 screen management systems, as well as XHD-404 media servers and HDQ-4K35 projectors. It now adds the S3-4K and EC-50, and will be the first to offer third-party training for these solutions, beginning in September.


Future-ready 4K technology offers power and versatility
Barco’s Event Master platform is a reusable concept that leverages all of the company’s smart technologies into a single box. Designed with a modular architecture, these products easily support future adaptation to evolving user requirements and field serviceability.

“Barco is a great partner for us, not only because of its best-in-class, highly reliable live event solutions, but also based on their commitment to technology evolution and comprehensive support,” comments Tyler Mayne, President of Evolve Media Group, Inc. “Barco has a history of developing future-ready products that provide the functionality our customers need now, with easy expandability to fulfill their technology requirements well into the future.”

A three-pronged approach to maximizing value
Barco was invited to become the inaugural partner in a new entity, the “Evolve Trifecta,” an integrated program designed to provide clients with convenient, custom-tailored video product and service packages. Three components—Evolve Rent, Evolve Lease, and Evolve Academy— comprise the supporting parts of the Trifecta, providing truly full-spectrum service from product acquisition to training and customer support.
