Apollo is now offering kits for TFT LCDs ranging in size from 6.5 to 82in diagonal used in a wide variety of industrial applications as well as medical, ruggedised, marine and digital signage.
The kits typically include an Apollo LCD, the appropriate IBase industrial SBC, matched BIOS, a backlight inverter and data interface cables with multiple operating system choices.
"IBase's wide range of industrial PC products allows us more than ever before to take customers' CPU/processor requirements and provide them with an SBC kit solution that is truly optimised for their application", says Apollo Managing Director, Richard McKay.
"Our partnership with IBase brings world class industrial PC technology to our advanced TFT kitting solutions programme".
The IBase component of the new Apollo TFT LCD kits may be a CPU card (full-size, half-size or industrial backplane), industrial motherboard (Mini-ITX, ATX, Micro ATX or networking), disk-size SBC (5.25in, 3.5in or ECX), ETX (COM Express module, ETX CPU module or ETX baseboard), CompactPCI board or PC/104 Plus module.
Using a unique modular system, Apollo can combine these components in different ways, supplying cost-efficient standard kits as well as custom versions adapted to individual requirements.

For example, a standard kit including a 15in XGA LCD, IBase IB881 with Intel ULV CPU, matched BIOS, backlight inverter and data/inverter interface cables is priced at approximately US $655.33 in 1000-unit quantities.
