Overview

The Barco NGS-D440 is an encoder that feeds HDMI 2.0 4K60 sources into Barco CTRL and TransForm N video wall systems over the network. It offers one HDMI 2.0 and one HDMI 1.4 input, an HDMI 2.0 output, and two 1Gb RJ45 ports with active failover. Power comes from a 45W USB-C supply or PoE+. Suited to control rooms in Doha and Lusail. Request a quote.

What the Barco NGS-D440 does in a video wall system

The Barco NGS-D440 is a Compact 4K60 Encoder in the TransForm N and Barco CTRL range. It takes an HDMI source, such as a presentation PC, media player or workstation, and carries that picture across the network to a video wall. Its HDMI 2.0 input is built for 4K sources running at 60 Hz, so it suits operators who need sharp, full-resolution content on large displays rather than scaled-down images. Sources can sit far from the display itself.

Inputs, outputs and network links

The encoder provides two video inputs, one HDMI 2.0 and one HDMI 1.4, plus an HDMI 2.0 output. For 16:9 content it handles up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz. Ultrawide 21:9 formats are supported up to 3440 x 1440 at 60 fps, and 32:9 layouts up to 3840 x 1080 at 60 fps. The HDMI 1.4 input is the older standard, so check the resolution and frame rate of any legacy device before planning around it.

Two RJ45 ports offer 1Gb copper connectivity with active failover, so traffic can move to the second port if the first path fails. The stated average bandwidth for 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz is 60 Mbps, a figure your network team can use when allocating switch ports. Audio of up to two channels can be carried from HDMI or the line input, and chroma subsampling is 4:2:2.

Qatar summers regularly push past 45°C, which is above this unit's rated range. Install the NGS-D440 in an air-conditioned comms room or equipment rack, and keep it away from unventilated cabinets and sun-exposed spaces. If the planned location is not air-conditioned, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to review it before ordering.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three setups where it fits:

Operations room in West Bay: live dashboards and a briefing presentation shown on one wall, with a 4K workstation on another floor feeding it over the network.
Ministry briefing room in Doha: a presenter's feed from an adjacent office routed to a multi-screen wall, with the encoder housed in the building's comms room.
University lab in Education City: 4K simulation or design output shared from a research PC to a wall in a neighbouring teaching room.

Planning before you request a quote

List every source that will feed the wall, along with its HDMI version and output resolution. Check the network next: each encoder needs a 1Gb port, and if you power it over PoE+, the switch must supply 802.3at power. The unit is designed for 24/7 operation, so plan rack airflow for continuous running.

Questions about NGS-D440

What is the Barco NGS-D440 and who is it for?

The NGS-D440 is a compact encoder that takes an HDMI 2.0 4K60 source and sends it over the network to a Barco CTRL or TransForm N video wall. It suits IT managers and AV integrators building networked walls for control rooms, briefing rooms and operations centres in Doha, where sources often sit away from the display.

Which video inputs and outputs does it provide?

The unit has two video inputs, one HDMI 2.0 and one HDMI 1.4, and a single HDMI 2.0 output. It also has two USB 2.0 Type C connectors and two RJ45 network ports. Audio of up to two channels can come from HDMI or the line input. If your source is older equipment that uses HDMI 1.4, test it before planning around it.

What is the maximum resolution and frame rate it supports?

For 16:9 content the NGS-D440 supports up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, which is 4K at 60 Hz. The stated average bandwidth for that format is 60 Mbps, and chroma subsampling is 4:2:2. Before ordering, confirm your sources output these settings so your network and wall planning matches what the display will show.

Does it support ultrawide and 32:9 wall layouts?

Yes. For 21:9 content it supports up to 2560 x 1080, 3440 x 1440 and 3840 x 1600 at 60 fps. For 32:9 layouts it supports up to 3840 x 1080 at 60 fps. Compare your wall arrangement and source resolutions against these values before ordering, because wide display arrangements differ from one project to the next.

How is it powered, and can a PoE+ switch do the job?

The unit runs on a 20V 2.25A (45W) external USB-C power supply, or on 25W over PoE+ to the 802.3at standard. Typical power dissipation is 18.7W and maximum is 25W. If the rack switch supplies PoE+, it can power the encoder and reduce separate power points, but check that its power budget covers every unit you plan to add.

Why does the network connection matter for a control room?

Two 1Gb copper RJ45 ports provide active failover, so traffic can move to the second port if the first path fails. In a control room where the wall shows live feeds all day, that redundancy helps keep the display running. Ask your network team to confirm port availability and the 60 Mbps bandwidth figure for 4K60 streams.

Which Barco systems is it compatible with?

The NGS-D440 works within the Barco CTRL and TransForm N platforms, and it belongs to both product families. Your design should confirm that the other components in the chain belong to the same platform. Share your current Barco hardware list with the SmartRooms Qatar team so the quotation covers compatibility properly.

Can it be installed in a hot cabinet during Qatar summers?

No, not in an unventilated or sun-exposed cabinet. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), while Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C. Install it in an air-conditioned comms room or rack. If the proposed location is not air-conditioned, speak with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

How much space and noise should I plan for in a ministry comms room?

The unit measures 136 x 136 x 30 mm and weighs 510 g, ±50 g, and its noise level is 19 dBA at 25°C. In a ministry comms room, plan cable routes for HDMI, network and power, and leave room for airflow around the unit. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can confirm rack space before installation.

How would an operations room in West Bay use it?

An operations room in West Bay might show live dashboards, camera feeds and a briefing deck on one wall. The NGS-D440 can bring a 4K60 workstation from another desk on the floor onto that wall over the network, instead of running a long HDMI cable. Its two network ports help keep the wall running if one path fails.

How would a university lab in Education City use it?

A research lab in Education City might share 4K simulation or design output from a PC to a shared wall in a neighbouring teaching room. The encoder accepts HDMI 2.0 input at 4K60, and the picture reaches the wall over the network. Work with your IT team to segment the video traffic and set access rules before connecting it to the campus network.

Can a government department buy it through an LPO or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies government ministries and authorities, and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Send us your source list, wall layout and network details, and the team usually returns a quotation within one working day. The product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
