EVOLVING TECHNOLOGY
General Digital™ is incorporating more of its rugged LCD monitors with LED backlit displays. LED backlights have several advantages over CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlights: they're able to withstand harsher shock and vibration environments, they can easily operate at temperatures as low as -40° C, their low voltage allows them to run at high altitudes with no risk of arcing, their low IR (infrared) signature makes them ideal for NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) applications. General Digital™ has designed and sold several systems with display sizes of 8.4" to 20.1". Contact a Sales Engineer today to discuss how LED backlighting can benefit your application.

NOW AVAILABLE!
Titan Large Format LCD Monitor General Digital™ is now offering large format LCD displays up to 70"+ (diagonal). The Titan™ was introduced to satisfy the demand for information density.

JUST RELEASED!
Barracuda Sealed LCD Monitor Answering the call for a rugged, sealed LCD monitor is General Digital’s™ Barracuda™ Series. Sealed to IP67 and NEMA4X standards, the Barracuda™ enclosures protect the LCD monitors against several contaminants: water immersion (submersion) between 15cm and 1m depth, dust, falling dirt or debris, rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, hose-directed water, and external formation of ice on the enclosure.
The Barracuda™ Series is most at home in excessively dusty or wet conditions, most often found in industrial and military environments such as deserts, ships, outdoor kiosks, or simply constant exposure to changing weather conditions.
Available in display sizes ranging from 6.4" to 24", the Barracuda™ Series of LCD monitors can be customized to fit your particular needs.
Please contact a sales engineer for more information.
