New & Noteworthy 2006
LCD Monitor Product News and Innovations
NOW AVAILABLE!
 General
Digital™ is excited to announce the release of its latest creation: a
sunlight readable, COTS, night vision goggle-compatible (NVIS), 19" LCD
monitor.
To achieve sunlight readability in this panel mount
monitor (SNCMP-19W-966),
we incorporated a revolutionary technology: an all-LED backlight,
which puts out 700+ nits of luminance, reduces power consumption
and is ideal for appplications requiring mercury-free displays.
In addition to a beefy, 0.59" front bezel, the
unit includes a military-grade power connector and is designed with the
intent to meet MIL-STD-901D, as well as with numerous
other military requirements. Also, the night vision goggle compatibility
meets MIL-STD-3009.
Although we initiated production with a panel-mounted
19" display, most of our monitors can be equipped similarly.

 General
Digital™ is now taking orders for our latest innovative new product,
the TwoView™.
Briefly, the TwoView™ is comprised of two
high-resolution LCD monitors (15", 17" or 19"),
with an enclosure that has been beefed up to handle the extra load
of dual monitors.
The TwoView™ includes several choices of military,
industrial or commercial keyboards with integral trackball or, if you
prefer, optional cupholders in place of the keyboard. Other options include
daylight and sunlight readable displays and a host of video inputs. Stereo
speakers and a cable management guide are provided as standard equipment.
Please contact a
Sales Engineer for more information or visit the TwoView™ page,
which has all the details, including data sheet, drawings, photos and
more.
If you need a smaller dual LCD monitor setup, we also
have a RGB RackMount™ Dual and RGB
PanelMount™ Dual, both with two 8.4" LCD monitors.

 General
Digital™ is equipping its Rack Mount Hinge™ 20" with
the high performance Zippy inverter. The numerous
benefits of this piezo ceramic inverter include: no EMI; high efficiency
and less heat; nonflammable; longer lamp life; high reliability; extreme
working temperature range; wide range linear dimming control with no
flicker; open circuit protection prevents backlight failure due to
individual bulb failure. Contact a
Sales Engineer for more details.

 General
Digital™ is pleased to announce the release of the long-awaited Rack
Mount Hinge™ 20". General Digital’s engineers
have cleverly squeezed a 20.1" flip-up LCD monitor into a 19" rack.
Though the 15", 17" and 19" Rack Mount
Hinge™ models are contained in 1U (1.75") high enclosures,
the thickness of the 20.1" display in the RH-20U necessitated the
use of a 2U (3.50") high enclosure. The benefit of this design is
that it allows a 100 watt power supply to be mounted inside the enclosure,
rather than separately on the rack frame behind the unit. This simplifies
installation and utilizes a minimum amount of space. Speaking of space,
the RH-20U rests on slides that are only 20" deep, yet extend out
another 18".
A unique feature of this model is the availability of
optional speakers. Reproducing a wide frequency range, the 1.5 watt speakers
can greatly enhance user interaction and feedback.

Rack Mount Hinge™ page, or contact a
Sales Engineer for more information, pricing and availability.

 The
second generation GenStar™ II replaces
the original GenStar™, a robust 20.1" sunlight readable
LCD monitor designed for air traffic control use and the STARS (Standard
Terminal Automation Replacement System) Program. FCC Class
A and UL60950-1 certified, the GenStar™ II features
a multitude of improvements including a faster response time, reduced
ghosting, ambient light sensing (optional) and much more.
Optical performance is second to none, thanks to General
Digital’s™ patented technologies, including the SmartBright™ backlight
system, CoolBright™ cooling system, SmartLam™ optical management.
The General Digital™-designed Intelligent Backlight
Controller monitors and records key system performance data through the
use of our “Intelligent Replace Before Fail” ICARUS™ and
DAEDALUS™ software utilities. This lets maintenance crews track
performance data, allowing them to predict potential failures, identify
current failures, and evaluate the root cause of each failure, as well
as facilitating service before a critical failure.
With a high contrast ratio and bulb brightness capability
of >1200 nits (gated at 1000 nits for optimum brightness/life expectancy),
and a wide 170° viewing cone, the GenStar™ II is well-equipped
to handle a multitude of high ambient lighting situations.

Readable RGB Industrial™ page, or contact a

COMING SOON!
Never
content to rest on our laurels here at General Digital™, we are
excited to announce an innovative new product, the TwoView™.
Comprised of two high-resolution LCD monitors (15",
17" or 19"), the TwoView™ is built upon our proven SlimLine
1U™ base platform, which has been beefed up to handle the extra
load of dual monitors. The two monitors flip up from the 2U (3.50")
high, 19" rack mount chassis and slide to each side, giving the
user twice the informational content needed to perform their duties—though
we can’t promise they’ll accomplish twice the amount of work
in the same amount of time. ;-)
The TwoView™ includes several choices of military,
industrial or commercial keyboards with integral trackball or, if you
prefer, optional cupholders in place of the keyboard. Other options include
daylight and sunlight readable displays and a host of video inputs. Stereo
speakers and a cable management guide are provided as standard equipment.
The anticipated release date is expected before the
end of the second quarter, and we are now accepting pre-orders.
Please contact a
Sales Engineer for more information or download the data
sheet.

 In
response to increasing demand, General Digital™ has designed
a 20", UXGA (1600 x 1200) version of our rugged Chassis
Monitor RackMount™ COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf).
At 9U (15.75") high and only 4.80" deep, this unit will drop
in to most racks with a minimum of fuss.
As with our 19" Chassis
Monitor RackMount™ COTS, the 20" model is compliant
with MIL-STD-901B, Grade A and Class II Lightweight Shock requirements.
The louvered ventilation holes on the back of the unit satisfy the
45° Drip Test. Additionally, both units are designed with the intent
to meet: MIL-STD-108E, MIL-STD-167-1, MIL-STD-461E, MIL-STD-740-1,
MIL-STD-740-2, MIL-STD-810F, MIL-STD-901D.
A significant benefit of the CMR-19W COTS and CMR-20U
COTS are their fully functional Chassis Monitor subassemblies. Purchased
in advance as spares, these subassemblies benefit the end user by facilitating
field service and expediting depot service.
