Introduction

About
This chapter will guide you through the installation of the drivers, software and documentation associated
with your Barco Display System or Barco Display Controller(s).
Prerequisites
Before starting the installation of the Barco drivers, software and documentation following prerequisites
must be adhered:
• Your operating system must be installed and running. Following versions of Windows are supported:
- Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
- Windows 10 (64-bit)
• You must be logged on as a user with administrator privileges.
• All Barco displays must be connected to the appropriate Display Controller(s) in your system.
For optimal system performance, Barco recommends installing no more than two
drivers on a system at one time. If the configuration will require three drivers, the Barco
Driver Installer will alert the user to replace one board to eliminate one of the drivers.
• When there is a non-Barco board in the system, you must first install the driver for the non-Barco
display controller before installing the Barco driver.
After each driver installation, you should reboot the system before proceeding with the
installation of another driver.
You will need to install the Barco Display Controller system drivers and software in the following cases:
• After you have installed the Barco Display Controller(s) for your Barco Display System in your system
for the first time.
• After you have reinstalled or upgraded your operating system.
• When upgrading to a newer version of the MXRT driver and software, manual uninstallation of the
prior version is not necessary. The Barco Product Installation Wizard will detect any prior installations
and start the uninstallation process automatically.
The installation dialog will display in English if your operating system's language is not
supported.
