Digital View launches range of display controllers for harsh environments

A new range of display controllers from Digital View will have significant interest for those designing applications for sectors such as aviation and the military

London, (8 June 2007) Digital View (www.digitalview.com) has further extended its industry-leading range of LCD panel controllers by introducing a range of products specifically designed for applications which use LCDs in harsh environments. The new products, which build upon Digital View's extensive experience in this technology, will be welcomed by anyone designing applications for sectors such as aviation and the military.

To meet the demands of harsh environments, equipment must use components which offer significantly higher performance than those used in routine commercial applications. The performance levels required of such components are defined by various bodies such as US standards DO160160 (Aircraft) and MIL 901D. Digital View's new HE range has been designed to aid compliance with these standards.

The first product in the HE range is the Digital View HE1600. An interface controller for multi-input, general purpose OEM monitor applications, the product offers a wide temperature range (-30oC to +80oC), high tolerance to vibration through the use of locking connectors and low mass capacitors, high humidity resistance through the use of conformal coatings, and an input voltage tolerance of at least +/-25%.

Fully buffered, and providing direct analog and digital connection to a wide range of TFT LCD panels up to UXGA resolution (1600x1200), the HE1600 also offers many other advanced features, including a flexible port architecture that provides inputs for DVI, dual VGA channels, Composite, S-Video and Component video. Supporting a wide range of 4:3 and 16:9 format panels, the SP-1600 provides exceptional video performance via a new generation video controller coupled with guaranteed high-reliability.
