Barco is an acronym that originally stood for Belgian American Radio Corporation. Founded in 1934, Barco started producing its own graphics chips when it acquired Metheus in 1999.
Barco used both its own chipsets--all named AURA--alongside other chip manufacturers for the medical industry.Their first custom chipset appears to have been on the 2MP2H card. Today, Barco uses AMD chipsets for their graphics needs.
