LCD Monitor Product News and Innovations
WE’RE REGISTERED
General
Digital™ is now registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls (DDTC) pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and
the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR Part 122). Our
Registrant Code is available upon request.
MORE LED BACKLIGHTS IN THE NEWS
 General
Digital is excited to announce the introduction of our newest LED-backlit
sunlight readable LCD monitor, the Saber
Standalone Solar™/LS19. This rugged,
high performance monitor is designed for use in industrial and military
applications. The
LS19 is the next incarnation of General Digital display products
adopting LED backlight technology (in favor of CCFL) to power its sunlight
readable LCD monitors. This advanced monitor also features two built-in
speakers on the front face of the enclosure. Options for the Saber
Standalone Solar™/LS19 are an attached power supply, a VESA Extender
Bracket and a Panel Mount Adaptor Bracket. For more information, we
invite you to download the data sheet or contact a Sales Engineer.
NEW KEYBOARD OPTION
 For
those environments that require a large trackball, General Digital™ is
now offering its 82-key and 121-key keyboards with a 2 inch trackball.
This large trackball also features backlighting for improved visibility
in low light environments. Both desktop and rack
mount keyboard versions
can be outfitted with the 2" trackball. As always, these
keyboards are available with backlit keys and a NEMA12 enclosure as
standard equipment, with an ActiveIdentity CAC Smart Card
Reader available optionally. Please consult with
a Sales Engineer for more information.
NOW AVAILABLE
 General
Digital™ is now offering flat panel LCDs with LED
backlights.
For some time, we have offered flat panel LCD monitors that are backlit
with LEDs. Now, for those companies that need only the display component,
we can supply a “bare” LCD with LED backlighting. Suitable for many
applications including digital signage, improved sunlight readability,
NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) usage, LED backlights offer many
advantages over the more common CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)
lighting. Compared to CCFL backlights, LEDs solid-state design means
they are more resistant to shock and vibration, have lower power consumption,
can operate at lower temperatures and higher altitudes, reduced EMI
emissions and more. Please contact a Sales Engineer to determine if
an LED backlit display will suit your application.
CHANGES
In addition to a revised web site, General
Digital™ is implementing a new naming structure for its RGB and
Chassis Monitor line of LCD monitors. This change was instituted in
an effort to simplify our many LCD product offerings. Therefore, the
RGB and Chassis Monitor lines (PanelMount, RackMount, Industrial) will
be merged into the Saber Series (PanelMount, RackMount,
Standalone). The OEM Monitor Kit and Chassis Monitor Kit will be merged
into the Impact
Series. Also, the extension of Solar to any
model name indicates that the monitor series is available with daylight
readable and sunlight readable capability. The model number system
will remain unchanged.
GenStar III™ NOW AVAILABLE
 General
Digital™ is pleased to announce that they are taking orders for
the third generation of the venerable GenStar™ product line, introduced
in 1998. The newest GenStar™ sunlight
readable LCD monitor is dimensionally the same size as the GenStar
II™, but features LED backlighting, which has numerous benefits compared
to CCFL-type backlights:
- Lower power consumption
- Lower heat emission
- Lower operating temperature, will operate at -40° C
- Lower voltage, which allows operation at high altitudes
- Lower IR signature bodes well in NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) applications
- Longer life
- More robust for rugged environments
Also available will be the GenStar III Lite™, which will be configured
without components the end user would not utilize.
