First Widescreen Marine Panel Computers as well as Large Ruggedised Screens Now Available
The first widescreen Marine Panel Computers, manufactured by CONRAC, is now available from RedLinX Embedded Solutions. CONRAC recently introduced the Marine Grade Panel Computers which adds the flexibility of an integrated solution to the benefits of the well-proven CONRAC wideECDIS Marine Displays.
“CONRAC is very experienced in the integration of industrial Computers. We designed the ultimate Marine Panel Computer specified to run all marine applications, from automation and control to ECDIS and Navigation”, says Gary Human, general manager, CONRAC South Africa.
Comments Wayne Kotze, field engineer at RedLinX Embedded Solutions, “We are very excited about this embedded solution, designed by CONRAC. With its 24/7 operation it offers an extremely reliable platform.” The integrated high performance industrial PC is based on the latest low-power embedded technology. It does not only secure lowest power consumption, it also guarantees optimum performance and reliability.
As a special feature, CONRAC integrated a proprietary system monitoring application called SysMon which is used to control various settings and to obtain exact information on a multitude of parameters. It controls the backlights, supervises the system and allows the integration of the next generation of Ambient Light Control, ALCplus.
Available are console mount versions with screen sizes of 22" (56cm) and 26" (66cm) diagonal, offering the same look-and-feel as the monitor only versions. The only eye-catching difference between the integrated solution and the monitor-only version are two front USBs.
“Our large screen Naval Displays have been tested according to various MIL standards. Active in the research and development of special display solutions for decades, we have established a reputation as a leading manufacturer of large screen solutions for extremely harsh maritime environments,” adds Human. CONRAC's series of ruggedized displays up to a screen size of 65" (165 cm) has been tested according to MIL-STD-167 and 810. Furthermore the displays proved to withstand severe underwater explosions up to 100g. Optionally available are touch solutions and integrated IPCs.
Note: All Products are available at RedLinX Embedded Solutions.
