VUESIM IN DEPTH
VueSim is a smart display system that contains an embedded processor, which can read industry standard data busses (serial, Ethernet, ARINC-429, etc.) and render high-definition graphics for an ultra-realistic simulator. This makes it perfect for flight simulators requiring a Primary Flight Display (PFD) or Multifunction Display (MFD).
LED backlight options include standard luminance, sunlight readable, and NVIS compatible. All LED backlights include an integrated controller.
The design of the display control allows for expansion, such as ARINC 429, Modbus, CAN, ARINC 664 (aka AFDX) and other custom modules. The unit can be configured with a variety of commercial CPUs & GPUs for displaying high quality graphics.
Ideal for the aerospace simulation market, VueSim can be fitted with standard or optional bezels that include a selection of buttons, rotary encoders, switches, and indicators, all of which are user definable. An optional touch interface is also readily available.

Mi-HMI OVERVIEW
Mi-HMI is a smart display system that contains an embedded processor, which can read industry standard data busses (serial, Ethernet, etc.) and render high-definition graphics for an ultra-realistic simulator.
LED backlight options include standard luminance, sunlight readable, and NVIS compatible. All LED backlights include an integrated controller.
The design of the display control allows for expansion, such as Modbus, CAN and other custom modules. The unit can be configured with a variety of commercial CPUs & GPUs for displaying high quality graphics.
Ideal for many simulation markets (Medical, Transportation, Industrial, etc.), Mi-HMI can be fitted with standard or optional bezels that include a selection of buttons, rotary encoders, switches, and indicators, all of which are user definable. An optional touch interface is also readily available.
COMMUNICATIONS
The VueSim can be configured to receive and render the same cockpit data as a fully FAA-certified EFIS at a greatly reduced cost since it does not have to be FAA-certified (DO-178/DO-254/DO-160) for the simulation environment.
It can easily be configured to process flight data from a variety of sources including ARINC 429 (e.g., ADAHARS, ADF IAS, NAVCOM), Ethernet, discrete I/O and/or other buses (e.g., ARINC 453, MIL-STD-1553), depending on the end user’s requirements.
OPTIONS
General Digital can tailor the VueSim and Mi-HMI to simulate virtually any device by configuring the unit with an assortment of components.
