NOW SHIPPING

As reported this past June, the 20-inch TwoView models are now available. The 3U high (5.25") rack mount, dual flip-up LCD monitors feature high resolution (1600 x 1200) screens resulting in a greater viewing area. Also of note are an integrated power supply and a host of video inputs. Though numerous options are available, one of the newest ones is a 4-port KVM switch. We haven’t forgotten those who use our monitors in bright environments—20 inch sunlight readable displays are available.

Other new features include an integrated power supply, a host of video inputs and an optional KVM switch. As always, sunlight readable variants are on the roster. These new models are coming soon, so keep an eye out for these latest additions to our ever-increasing line-up of industry innovations.

AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
We’re now taking orders for our newly-designed 5-inch and 10-inch Smart Multifunction Displays. Ideally suited to helicopter and fixed-wing applications, these rugged units are designed to meet several military standards (704D, 810F, 461E, 462, DO-160E). They feature an sunlight readable LED backlight, EMI glass, heater glass, a rugged enclosure, and PowerPC-based drive electronics. General Digital will be offering both displays with optional NVIS compatibility for use with night vision goggles. Data will be accepted on two ARINC 429 channels and the software (DO-178B, Level A) will validate and generate the display page, which, in turn, will be presented to the pilot in a graphical format. Another handy, and quite practical, feature is a built-in light sensor that can automatically adjust the display brightness, so as not to distract the pilot unnecessarily.

IN DEVELOPMENT
Our TwoView, an industry-wide favorite, is undergoing some major renovations. Providing twice the viewing area in the space normally reserved for one flip-up, rack mount LCD monitor, the TwoView has been a perennial head-turner. Now, at the request of our customers, we are developing a TwoView on which both screens lay on the same plane, rather than one sliding over the other. In addition, these two displays can both slide such that one monitor is centered in the drawer and the other is overhanging the drawer to the right or the left. This new development will provide a flat viewing area with greater ease of transition from one screen to the other. In addition, it will provide greater flexibility for mounting in confined spaces.
