Gen-Pak^™

Rugged, Flat Panel LCD Single Board Computer

Essential to the Gen-Pak™ is a single board computer that offers a variety of processors, RAM, onboard storage (Disk-on-Chip), network and connectivity options, and expansion headers. These features give the end user a degree of control not found in typical computer systems. In addition, the single board computers also feature onboard LCD controllers, and a selection of keyboard, mouse, video, serial and parallel ports.

AMTFT LCD Screens
The Gen-Pak™ integrates the latest advances in LCD display technology from 10.4" to 19.0" (diagonal viewing area) panels. These panels provide the equivalent viewing area of much larger CRTs. All of our active matrix TFT LCD panels offer up to 16.7 million colors, wide viewing angles, and fast response times (suitable for live video). We qualify multiple sources of supply to ensure product availability and long life.

Protective Glass and Sealed Gasket
General Digital™ protects your display by adhering a piece of glass to the surface of the LCD panel to guard the liquid crystal material from making direct contact with foreign objects. In addition, a sealed gasket is installed between the display and bezel to protect the monitor’s electronics from dust, liquids (e.g., spilled coffee) or other debris.

Metal Construction
The Gen-Pak’s™ rugged aluminum frame is designed to withstand the rigors of commercial, industrial, and military (COTS) environments alike. The frame is completely irridited to provide protection from corrosion and improve shielding properties where parts make contact with one another. The bezel is finished with a durable black powder coat. Unlike plastic enclosures (commodity products), whose mold is usually designed for a specific display and control electronics, the Gen-Pak’s™ modular design offers superior configuration flexibility without requiring extensive redesign. Our products are intentionally designed to support LCD displays (and other electronics) from numerous manufacturers. This capability enables us to minimize the impact of a single suppliers decision to obsolete, allocate or redesign their display, upon our ability to maintain configuration control or extend the manufacture life of our products.

Mounting Options
The Gen-Pak™ is available in an open frame or enclosed in a case, and either panel mount, rack mount or standalone configurations.

Total Design Control
General Digital™ gladly offers its engineering services to customers who require special customization of our devices to meet their commercial, industrial or military requirements. Please speak with a Sales Engineer for additional details.

Configuration Control & Product Longevity
We at General Digital™ are completely responsible for the design and manufacturing of our products, allowing us to maintain nearly total control of their future. Our experience supporting Department of Defense programs has taught us the value of designing products with foresight so that they can be manufactured, serviced and upgraded for many years. Though the market introduces new innovations and product upgrades at an alarming rate, our product management team knows the importance of proactive customer notification and can offer product adaptation with similar or equivalent performance before designs become obsolete, thereby extending the product life cycle.

Private Labeling
General Digital™ encourages relationships with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other organizations, and is willing to maintain your company identity (private label) on our products. Please speak with a Sales Engineer for additional information.
