GenStar III and GenStar IV feature many advanced components and industry firsts:

• High performance 19.0" and 21.3" displays and video controllers
• Sunlight readable LED backlight and intelligent LED controller designed by General Digital
• Intelligent Backlight Controller™ prevents critical failures, display brightness control, monitors hardware performance and more (GenStar III)
• Microprocessor-controlled backlight cooling system (GenStar III)
• Software utilities that analyze performance/failure data to facilitate failure diagnosis and service
• Display enhancements, including an optically bonded contrast filter
• Field-replaceable AC power supply and cooling fans
• UL60950-1 and FCC Class A Certified

In most commercial applications, LED backlights are configured to drive their LED rails in a serial manner. While this technique is inexpensive and easy to implement, its downfall is that a single LED failure will render an entire rail inoperable—a catastrophe to mission-critical and safety-critical applications such as Air Traffic Control.

The GenStar LED rails utilize a serial-parallel design whereby the LEDs are driven in groupings of four, while the LED groups themselves are driven in a parallel manner. Using this approach, a single LED failure will only affect its immediate grouping, leaving the remaining groups of LEDs unaffected and fully operational.

 

STANDALONE/MOUNTABLE HIGH BRIGHTNESS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER MONITORS

In addition to the GenStar line, our mountable standard luminance Saber Standalone and high bright Saber Standalone Solar LCD monitors, with and without touch screens, are designed to provide Air Traffic Control Specialists with static and dynamic data regarding weather and other safety-critical operational data.

Our Saber Standalone family of industrial monitors are designed to be used where portable displays are required and can be carried conveniently from one location to another. Also used as video information displays for Naval air traffic control, their rugged enclosures are designed to provide years of durable service in demanding environments.

While constructed to be both rugged and portable, all of our standalone monitors can also be configured in rack mount and panel mount enclosures. Saber Standalone mountable LCD monitors come supplied with mounting holes on the rear and sides of the paneling; this allows easy integration into standard or custom pedestals, yokes, cradles or articulating arms. Because there is a wide variety of mounting options available, we recommend speaking with one of our Sales Engineers to determine which mounting option best fits your application.
