Overview

The Barco TransForm NDN-220 LITE is a PC-based display node for TransForm N networked visualization systems. It drives four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs at up to 4K-UHD each and decodes IP video streams, including H.264 and MPEG-4. Several nodes can be combined into one synchronised video wall. Its 3U half-width rackmount housing suits control rooms and command centres in Doha. Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar.

What the NDN-220 LITE does inside a TransForm N system

The NDN-220 LITE is a PC-based output node that belongs to a Barco TransForm N networked visualization system. It receives encoded streams over the Gbit Ethernet/IP network and renders the content that management clients request, then shows the result on the displays it drives. Its supported input list includes H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, V2D, H.263, VNC and ProServer, so one wall can bring together feeds from different sources at the same time.

Hardware facts that matter when you plan

Outputs: four DisplayPort 1.2 connections, each supporting up to 4K-UHD, plus four DVI-SL outputs through included adapters for HD displays.
Processing: an Intel Core i5-9500E six-core processor at 3.0 GHz (4.2 GHz maximum turbo), 8 GB of memory and a 128 GB solid-state drive.
Graphics: a professional NVIDIA Quadro-series card that handles the rendering work requested across the network.
Networking: two 1 Gb/s LAN ports.
Housing and power: a 3U half-width 19-inch rackmount chassis weighing 5.8 kg, with a maximum consumption of 230 W and a 100-240 V power supply.

Clustering nodes into one synchronised wall

Several NDN-220 LITE nodes can be combined into a wall cluster. The TransForm N CMS software manages the cluster so the displays show one composed, synchronised picture. The LITE model uses network-based synchronisation between nodes, which suits most video-wall requirements. If a project needs more advanced synchronisation, the NDN-220 PRO is the optional alternative, so define your sync requirement before choosing a model.

Where it fits in Qatar

An operations room for a government authority in West Bay, where four adjacent screens show monitoring data from several sources at once.
A control room for an energy company in Mesaieed or Ras Laffan, with the node installed in an air-conditioned room rather than an outdoor cabinet.
A training lab in Education City that uses 4K-UHD outputs to show detailed content to students and researchers.

What to plan for before ordering

The operating range is 0 to 40°C, while summer temperatures in Qatar regularly pass 45°C. Place the unit in a cooled room or a rack inside a climate-controlled comms room, away from direct sun. The base order code R9822025 ships without a power cable, and a UK cable variant is available as R9822025G. Our team will confirm the correct cable for BS 1363 sockets when preparing your quotation. Maximum noise is 35 dBA at one metre, which matters in quiet meeting spaces. For several units in one rack, the rackmount kit R9821099 covers two nodes and is sold separately, while pedestal mount kit R766042 suits free-standing installations. A free site survey helps confirm cable runs and rack position.

Questions about TransForm NDN-220 LITE

What is the Barco TransForm NDN-220 LITE used for?

It is a PC-based output node within a Barco TransForm N networked visualization system. It receives encoded video streams over Gbit Ethernet/IP, renders the content that management clients request, and drives connected displays. Organisations use it to build video walls for control rooms, operations centres and presentation spaces, where several sources must appear on one wall at the same time, such as monitoring data, site cameras and presentations.

How many displays can one NDN-220 LITE drive?

The unit has four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, each supporting up to 4K-UHD resolution. It also provides four DVI-SL outputs through included adapters, supporting up to HD per output. For a 2x2 wall of 4K panels, one node covers all four screens. Larger walls are built by clustering several nodes under the TransForm N management software, so plan the wall layout and output count before ordering.

What is the difference between the NDN-220 LITE and the NDN-220 PRO?

Both are display nodes in the TransForm N range. The LITE uses network-based synchronisation between nodes, which suits the majority of video-wall needs. The PRO is the optional alternative for specific, more advanced synchronisation requirements. If your wall needs tighter synchronisation, specify the PRO. Tell the SmartRooms Qatar team your sync requirement and we will prepare a quotation for the right model.

Which video formats and streams does it decode?

The supported inputs listed in the specifications include H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, V2D, H.263, VNC and ProServer, and the manufacturer publishes a longer codec list. Before ordering, check that your cameras, encoders or media servers output one of these formats. The SmartRooms Qatar team can review your source formats against the current supported codec list so the wall works from day one.

Can I run it on Qatar's 240 V mains supply?

The power supply is rated 100-240 V, so it accepts the 240 V supply used in Qatar, with a maximum consumption of 230 W. The base order code R9822025 is supplied without a power cable. A UK cable variant is available as R9822025G. Our team confirms the correct cable for BS 1363 sockets during quotation, so the order matches your installation site.

Can it be installed in a hot outdoor cabinet or on a rooftop?

No. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40°C, and summer temperatures in Doha and Mesaieed can exceed 45°C. Install the node in an air-conditioned room or a rack inside a cooled comms room, away from direct sunlight. The specifications also state a maximum humidity of 80 percent, non-condensing, and operation up to 5000 m altitude.

We are fitting out a control room in West Bay. Is one node enough for a four-screen wall?

Yes, provided each of the four screens connects to one of the four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, each supporting up to 4K-UHD. Before finalising, SmartRooms Qatar carries out a free site survey to check sightlines, cable routes and rack position in the control room. Confirm that the room stays within the 0 to 40°C operating range, which means air conditioning must be reliable year round.

Which details matter for a training lab at Education City showing detailed content?

The four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs each support up to 4K-UHD, and the node includes a professional NVIDIA Quadro-series graphics card and two 1 Gb/s LAN ports. Choose 4K panels if the lab shows fine detail such as engineering drawings or scientific data. Confirm the number of screens, their size and the input sources before requesting a quotation, so the node and cabling are specified correctly.

Is it suitable for a hospital operations or monitoring room in Doha?

It can suit a monitoring room where several data sources share one wall, provided the rack sits in an air-conditioned space within the 0 to 40°C operating range. Maximum noise is 35 dBA at one metre. The organisation should define its own installation requirements, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will arrange a site survey before preparing a quotation for the wall.

Can it be rack-mounted, and does one kit hold two units?

Yes. The chassis is a 3U half-width 19-inch rackmount unit measuring 131.5 mm x 220 mm x 305 mm and weighing 5.8 kg. The rackmount kit R9821099 is designed for two NDN-220 PRO or LITE nodes and is sold separately. The pedestal mount kit R766042 suits free-standing installations. Plan rack space and ventilation before ordering.

Can a government entity buy this through a purchase order or tender?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar supplies products by quotation and accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including those issued through Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. The product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Send the model code and cable variant with your request so the tender price reflects the correct configuration.

Is it quiet enough for a boardroom?

The specifications state a maximum noise level of 35 dBA, measured at one metre and 22°C. Because the node is rackmounted, it does not need to sit in the boardroom itself. Place the rack away from seating, or in a separate technical room, and request a site survey before installation to confirm the position works for your meeting space.
