Digital View Blog

The Hong Kong Heritage Museum kindly sent over some photos of recent installations using Digital View VideoStream media players and VideoFlyers.

The Digital View LCD controller page has been completely rewritten with a new summary together with a version for download. This can be seen here.

Digital View LCD Controller Summary

Daniel Howe and Bill Seaman have put together a very impressive installation comprising 16 LCD panels in the Hong Kong City University, Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre. This is on exhibit now until the end of April 2012.

I have started a Display System Developer blog on displaysystem.tumblr.com for notes and various information related to developing LCD display systems.

The Lake House, Knebworth Park, Herts, UK.

Digital View UK is pleased to announce it is back in Knebworth Park – following the relocation of its European digital signage operations to Munich in Q4 of 2011 the display electronics operations decided to return to the countryside of Hertfordshire not far from where it started, albeit to significantly larger premises.

The Lake House is in an excellent setting on the edge of the woods looking down on the picturesque lake with its ducks and a boat house. The address is Digital View Ltd., The Lake House, Knebworth Park, Herts, SG3 6PY, UK.

The telephone number remains the same at +44-207-631 2150.

The ALR-1920 LCD controller has been significantly upgraded as announced today, the new model reference is part number 417270011-3. Some of the new features are:

• Additional RS-232 command support
• DDC/CI command support for brightness, contrast, RGB color, input sources and more
• Additional video mode support
• Additional panel timing support
• Improved video mode recognition
• Improved HDMI sync detection
• Support for custom panel timing programming by users
• Various bug fixes

Over the last few days the LCD controller support pages on the Digital View website have been updated with a posting of all relevant Application Notes for each of the controller models listed. This, however, is not the end of it as the Application Notes themselves as well as other files are all being reviewed and progressively updated as appropriate.

The controller support pages are at www.digitalview.com/support/lcd-controllers-support, if you have any comments of suggestions please let us know.

The Digital View View CSG (Controller Solution Generator) is designed to assist with matching controllers with LCD panels, however behind the system is a very significant LCD panel database. With well over 1,750 larger graphic type LCD panels listed it is probably the most comprehensive collection available.

Today more than 30 LCD panels were added to the database and it is expected that another 50 or more will be added in the coming days. The CSG itself is accesible at www.digitalview.com/csg and the panel data is currently available at www.panelx.com.
