Overview

Dependable and Compact “All-In-One”
Configured with our Rack Adaptor, the low profile SlimLine Lite II™ is the premiere, fully-integrated LCD monitor/keyboard/pointing device for 19" rack chassis applications. Although it integrates many of the same components as a laptop (i.e., LCD, keyboard, pointing device) and physically resembles one as well, its 2U (3.50") high enclosure has been designed specifically to endure the harsh environments of industrial and military (COTS) applications. The flip-up display head folds over the keyboard and pivots up (see friction hinges) to allow operators to optimize the viewing angle. Our design techniques also enable the smallest enclosure footprint (height and depth) in the industry.

Locking style connectors for all interfaces are located at the back of the case to facilitate cable management schemes. Use of Ny-lock hardware and isolation dampening materials further improve the durability.

Locking handle on front panel prevents SlimLine Lite II from inadvertently sliding out of rackThe Rack Adaptor facilitates installation of the SlimLine Lite II™ into a 19" RETMA rack, functioning as both a drawer and a protective case. The SlimLine™ mounts to the Adaptor via a pair of integrated, ball bearing slides that permit the monitor/keyboard to be slid in and out of the rack. A hinged bezel prevents the SlimLine™ from moving either horizontally or vertically when in the stowed position. A power supply accessory (PS-1U-1275-PFC) is optionally available for attachment to the Rack Adaptor.

AMTFT LCD Screens
General Digital™ integrates the latest advances in LCD display technology in virtually any size you require. Our stock offering sizes range from 15.0" to 20.1" (diagonal viewing area). 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. If our stock offering does not suit your needs in terms of size, fit or function, please contact a Sales Engineer and we will work with you to configure a system to your specifications.

Video Support
All standard SlimLine Lite II™ monitors support interlaced and non-interlaced analog video (Separate, Composite, Sync-on-Green). Support for STANAG 3350 A, B and C Analog SoG video is also included as a standard feature. In addition, they can be optionally configured to support analog, digital and integrated video (DVI-A, DVI-D, DVI-I), as well as serial digital interface (HD-SDI, SD-SDI) video.

Live Video Support
SlimLine Lite II Rear Connector PanelThe SlimLine Lite II™ can be optionally configured to support NTSC, PAL, RS-170, and SECAM video in composite video or S-video format. The response time of the active matrix TFT makes it the ideal platform for live video input.

High Performance LCD Controller
Internal to our LCD monitor is an LCD controller that converts analog video signals into the proper digital signals required to drive the display. It is the LCD controller that enables the LCD monitor to function as a direct replacement for the traditional CRT. The controller provides intuitive operation of its controls and calibration through the use of a membrane pad and a series of on-screen menus. All models support the following display image controls: auto and manual setup, brightness, contrast, horizontal position, vertical position, tuning, size, individual RGB adjust, image expansion on/off, system information, run-time counter, and signal level. Advanced features are supported on a selective basis (image rotate and invert, audio controls, advanced scaling).

Protective Glass & Sealed Gasket
(On Select Models)

General Digital™ protects your 15" display (or 17" LCD with a Special Display Overlay) 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
General Digital’s™ rugged aluminum enclosures are designed to withstand the rigors of commercial, industrial, and military (COTS) environments alike. Our enclosures are completely irridited to provide protection from corrosion and improve shielding properties where parts make contact with one another. All external surfaces are finished with a durable black powder coat. Retension bracket prevents vertical chatter of display enclosure when subjected to extreme shock and vibrationUnlike plastic enclosures (commodity products), whose mold is usually designed for a specific display and control electronics, our military-grade modular enclosures offer superior configuration flexibility. This modular and flexible design also permits us to introduce contemporary technologies 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 supplier’s decision to obsolete, allocate or redesign their display, upon our ability to maintain configuration control or extend the manufacture life of our products.

Integral Keyboard/Trackball
General Digital™ offers three grades of keyboards (commercial, industrial and military) and a trackball pointing device for integration into our standard configurations. Many keyboard / trackballs meet military standards for sealing and shock and vibration. (For more details, see the Keyboard/Pointing Device Table.)

Friction Hinges
The display head is mounted to the main enclosure via a pair of custom friction hinges that enable the display to pivot. The rugged hinges are constructed from light weight aluminum and are user-adjustable, providing torque settings up to 80 in·lbs. A tubular shaft at the center of the hinge allows for cable routing, thereby improving cable shielding and minimizing cable chaffing. The design of the hinges prevents backlash or freeplay, reduces spring back and produces a constant torque for over 25,000 cycles (typical).

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.

Options & Accessories
A plethora of options and accessories are offered in support of all General Digital™ products: ActivIdentity® (formerly ActivCard®) Smart Card (CAC: Common Access Card) reader, vandal shields, EMI / RFI shields, antireflective coatings / antiglare etches, touch screens, power supplies, keyboards / pointing devices, rack slides, video / serial / power cables and more. Please speak with a Sales Engineer or visit our Options and Accessories page for further details.

1 Native Resolution is the fixed number of horizontal and vertical pixels arrayed in the viewable area of an LCD monitor. Refer to the LCD Video Controller table below for other resolutions that can be displayed.
2
Brightness and Contrast values for sunlight and daylight readable LCD displays reflect measurements obtained with a Minolta® CS100 photometer; these values are nominal and may vary. Brightness and Contrast values for standard brightness displays are provided by the manufacturer of the LCD screen.
3 The hours for Backlight MTBF refer to the half-life of the backlight bulbs; that is, the point at which the bulbs reach half of their original brightness. It does not indicate the life expectancy of the bulbs.
4 Employs passive or GenFlective™ optical enhancement, which causes the brightness to increase as the ambient light increases. During testing of the SSL2-15X-947-dd-ee-03-gg-0092 LCD screen, 1220 nits has been achieved in simulated sunlight; greater luminance will be achieved in direct sunlight.
