LCD monitor slips in for 9in CRTs
Kent Modular Electronics has designed a novel LCD (TFT) chassis monitor to replace 9in CRT monitors used in a variety of ticket machine, cash dispenser and instrumentation applications.
Monitors meet marine display criteria
Two new colour LCD TFT monitors are designed for worldwide marine applications where low EMI and long-term vibration resilience are essential criteria.
For decades, 20in CRT monitors dominated the process control industry.
Now they are wearing out and CRTs are becoming harder to find.
This is proving a headache for process plant managers who have neither the budget nor the operational window to modernise the control system.
Where 20in CRT monitors can be found, they are at premium prices - and are limited to the 15 to 40kHz scanning range.
They have become an expensive short-term fix with limited low resolution.
As a result of developments on smaller-sized monitors KME has perfected the ability to interface with old and nonstandard low-resolution signals and display full screen information on an 18.1in LCD monitor.
The heart of the new range of monitors is a UK-designed analogue-to-digital interface, which uses the latest pixel scaling processors.
KME digital engineers have built on the company's 25+ years of CRT monitor experience and a vast library of accumulated OEM signal timings and programmed this signal information for the scaling engine chipset.
The analogue engineering team have created signal recognition and sync processing circuitry and the two combine to provide a modern flat panel display for old standards and new.
The 18.1in UN series is available as a heavy-duty desktop model, as an arm-mountable display head and in panel and rack mount formats.
Nonstandard signals from ABB, Honeywell etc as well as CGA, EGA IBM standards can be input for a crisp, full-screen display.
Modern VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA inputs are also displayed automatically, solving legacy problems and futureproofing the investment.
KME already exports 50% of its UK manufactured monitors to OEMs and end-users worldwide.
The 18.1in UN series has been ordered by selected customers in Canada, Finland, UK and USA.
