Sealed
Protection from the Elements
General
Digital™ adds an extra level of protection to
its rugged rack
mount LCD monitor line in the form of the Barracuda
RackMount™. Sealed to IP67 and NEMA4X standards, it includes
protection against several contaminants: watertight liquid immersion
(submersion) between 15cm and 1m depth, blowing dust,
falling dirt or debris, rain, sleet, snow, splashing fluids,
hose-directed liquids, and external formation
of ice on the enclosure.
 The
Barracuda RackMount™ is ideally suited for
dusty or wet conditions found in industrial and military environments,
such as deserts, ships, outdoor kiosks, or simply constant exposure to
changing weather conditions. To this end, every unit is equipped with
weatherproof connectors that are sealed, regardless of connection, negating
the need for extra covers on unused connectors.
Adaptable Design Serves Industry, Military,
VARs and OEMs
The universal acceptance of LCD technology in the commercial, industrial
and military sectors has revolutionized display applications. However,
the demanding environments of many of these applications require performance
that is not always addressed by commercial solutions. In particular,
most LCD monitor manufacturers do not typically offer support beyond
24 months. Furthermore, their plastic enclosures afford little design
flexibility or ruggedization. In response to this need, General Digital™ introduced
the Barracuda
PanelMount™, Barracuda
RackMount™ and Barracuda
Standalone™ lines of panel mount, rack mount and standalone
IP67 and NEMA4X sealed waterproof
LCD monitors.
All Barracuda Series models satisfy the needs of System
Integrators / VARs and OEMs / End Users with elegant simplicity, modular
adaptability and cost sensitivity. Additionally, they are designed to
operate from a single +12V regulated source that can be supplied by the
customer, or may be purchased directly from General Digital™.
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 8.4" to
24.0" (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 Barracuda RackMount™ units 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
The Barracuda RackMount™ 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 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 watertight
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 19" rack mount
waterproof aluminum bezels and 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.
Unlike plastic enclosures (commodity products), whose mold is usually
designed for a specific display and control electronics, our 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 suppliers’
decision to obsolete, allocate or redesign their display. This, in turn,
dramatically improves our ability to maintain configuration control or
extend the manufacture life of our products.
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 multitude of options and accessories are offered in support of all
General Digital™ products: 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.
