Overview

The Barco UniSee 500+ is a 55-inch bezel-less LCD tile for building video walls in control rooms and operations centres. Its IPS panel offers 500 cd/m² typical brightness, smart local dimming and automatic calibration, while its fan-less design suits continuous operation. It fits utilities, security teams and transport hubs in Qatar planning a wall. Request a quote.

What the UniSee 500+ is built for

The UniSee 500+ is a 55-inch LCD tile designed to be combined with other tiles into one large display. Each unit is a 16:9 Full HD IPS panel with direct LED backlighting. The platform targets control rooms, security operations, utility monitoring and transport hubs where screens run around the clock. It succeeds the UniSee 500 and carries the same 500 cd/m² brightness class into a newer generation.

Image figures that matter to operators

Typical luminance is 500 cd/m² with a typical contrast ratio of 1200:1. The panel has a native 70% NTSC colour gamut and a viewing angle of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically, so people seated away from the centre of the wall still see consistent colour. Smart local dimming is included, which the manufacturer says reduces visible boundaries and inconsistencies across the wall. Uniformity is rated at 98% over 9 measurement points, 96% over 13 and 93% over 21. Sense X performs automatic, continuous colour and brightness calibration. HDR10 is listed as ready but not certified, so treat HDR as a capability to verify during the quotation stage rather than a guaranteed feature.

Mounting and tile layout

The bezel-less design lets content run across adjacent tiles without a black border. The UniSee Smart mount supports up to 10 rows in landscape or 6 in portrait. The InvisiMount option hides the visible wall cross structure and supports up to 4 columns by 3 rows in landscape, or 4 columns by 2 rows in portrait. Each tile measures 1211.30 mm wide by 682.12 mm high, and panels can be installed in either landscape or portrait orientation.

Power, heat and environment

Typical consumption is 148 W with the internal power supply and 135 W with the external supply, producing 505 BTU/h and 461 BTU/h of heat respectively. The stated input range of 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. The panel is fan-less, so there are no cooling fans to service in the wall. The preliminary spec sheet lists an operating temperature of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and humidity of 20% to 80% non-condensing. Qatar summers regularly exceed 45 degrees, so the room must have dependable air conditioning. Confirm site conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

Where it fits in Qatar

Utility control room: a 4 by 2 InvisiMount wall in an energy or water operations centre in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan, showing system status around the clock.
Transport operations: a monitoring wall in an operations room near the Hamad International Airport area, where shift supervisors need readable detail from several metres away.
Ministry command room: a security or emergency room in Msheireb or West Bay, showing Arabic and English dashboards side by side.

What to plan before you order

Decide the grid first, then check the wall. Each LCD tile weighs 15.9 kg, or 21.8 kg gross with packaging, so the mounting structure must carry the full array. Allow 91.10 mm of depth for units with the internal power supply, or 65 mm for the LCM. Backlight life is 67,500 hours typical, rising to up to 100,000 hours in the Long Lifetime setting. The panel has two Ethernet ports, and its two USB ports are for power only. A TAA-compliant version is listed, which is worth requesting if your project specifies it. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey before wall-mounting, and quotations are usually issued within one working day. Request a quote for your wall layout today.

Questions about Barco UniSee 500+

What is the Barco UniSee 500+ used for?

The UniSee 500+ is a 55-inch bezel-less LCD tile for building video walls that run continuously. It suits control rooms, security operations, utility monitoring and transport hubs. In Qatar, that typically means a network operations room in Doha, a monitoring centre in Lusail or an energy site control room in Mesaieed where operators watch data across several screens at once.

How bright is the UniSee 500+ and is it suitable for a lit control room?

Typical luminance is 500 cd/m², and the platform is designed for environments with controlled ambient light, as is common in control rooms. Brightness should be planned against the room lighting rather than assumed. If the room has large windows or strong overhead lighting, ask SmartRooms Qatar to review the lighting plan during the free site survey before you finalise the quantity of tiles.

What resolution and inputs does the UniSee 500+ provide?

Each panel is Full HD at 1920 x 1080 with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It has two HDMI 2.0 inputs and two DisplayPort 1.2 inputs, all rated for 4K at 60Hz, plus one DisplayPort 1.2 output. HDCP 2.2 is supported. Confirm with your video processor or controller which input format and signal path your wall will use before ordering.

Can I connect the tiles in a daisy chain?

The panel provides one DisplayPort output alongside its inputs, but the datasheet does not describe the full chaining layout for a large array. The correct signal path depends on your controller and the number of tiles. SmartRooms Qatar can confirm the wiring design for your specific grid during the quotation and site survey, before any equipment is ordered.

How many tiles can I mount in one wall with the UniSee Smart mount?

The standard UniSee Smart mount supports up to 10 rows in landscape orientation or 6 rows in portrait. The InvisiMount option, which hides the wall cross structure, supports up to 4 columns by 3 rows in landscape or 4 columns by 2 rows in portrait. Your room dimensions and viewing distance determine the final grid, which we can plan with you.

Does the UniSee 500+ work with Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz electricity supply?

The stated AC input range is 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Typical power draw is 148 W with the internal power supply and 135 W with the external supply. Ask for the power cord and supply configuration in your quotation so that the electrical contractor can plan the circuits for the wall before installation.

Can the UniSee 500+ be installed in a room without air conditioning?

No, the room must be air-conditioned. The preliminary spec sheet lists an operating temperature of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and humidity of 20% to 80% non-condensing. Qatar summer temperatures often exceed 45 degrees, so a dedicated, reliable cooling system is needed. SmartRooms Qatar will confirm the site environment with you before any installation is scheduled.

How much does each tile weigh, and what does the wall need?

Each LCD unit weighs 15.9 kg net and 21.8 kg gross with packaging. The wall structure must carry the full array, so the weight of every tile and the fixing method should be checked before mounting. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check wall type, load and access, and to plan the installation for a large array.

How does the UniSee 500+ differ from the UniSee 500?

The UniSee 500+ is the successor to the UniSee 500 and keeps the 500 cd/m² brightness class. Its key differences in the manufacturer data are smart local dimming, which is newly introduced in this segment, and a 25% reduction in power consumption compared with the previous version. Request a quote to compare pricing and availability for your specific project.

Is a TAA-compliant version of the UniSee 500+ available?

Yes. The manufacturer lists a TAA-compliant model under the UniSee 500+ name. If your project's specification requires TAA compliance, state it in your enquiry so that the correct variant is quoted. SmartRooms Qatar will confirm the model code and any differences before you issue a purchase order.

Can I buy the UniSee 500+ through a government tender or an LPO in Qatar?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies government ministries and authorities, and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and tender-based orders, including through Monaqasat. We deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar and accept payment by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send your tender reference and tile count with your quote request, and we will prepare a quotation within one working day.
