This paper proposes a method to convert a fixed instant interpolator for band-limited signals into a variable instant one, which has the form of a barycentric interpolator. This interpolator makes it possible to approximate the signal and its derivatives with minimal complexity in a range that surrounds the initial instant, and is applicable to uniform and nonuniform sampling grids. The barycentric form of the interpolator is derived using two different procedures, first by the repeated use of Bernstein's inequality and Taylor's theorem, and second by truncating a Lagrange-type series. These procedures show that the proposed method can be applied to existing fixed instant interpolators, and that it can be accurate in long time intervals. Finally, an evaluation procedure for barycentric interpolators and their derivatives is presented that minimizes the number of divisions, solving at the same time the numerical problems associated with small denominators. This paper includes several numerical examples.
