Choosing the right touchscreen
Touchscreen technology has come a long way since it was first used in 1966 in a radar screen used by the Royal Radar Establishment (RRE) for air traffic control. Despite it being bulky, slow, imprecise and very expensive, it was in use until the 1990s. Since then, consumers have come to expect quick and responsive touchscreens, which are increasingly used in industrial environments.
Industrial PCs for tough environments
Industrial computing specialist Distec Ltd now stocks the Wincomm Range of 15", 19" and 21.5” fully water proof industrial PCs. The Manchester based company, which supplies touchscreens, PCs and computing accessories to sectors including the food and beverage industry, has chosen this range for its high quality components, which make it suitable for even the toughest environments.

POS monitors are smoke & fire optimised
Distec has presented a smoke and fire load optimised version of its successful POS-Line monitor series. An independent reviewer tested these monitors to DIN EN 13501-1 for fire classification of construction products and building elements according to Class B S1 d0. The certificate is valid for a special solution of POS-Line series, with an integrated PC based on the AMD processor Ontario and with an SSD hard drive.
LED converter can be adapted to the needs of many TFT displays
A universal and configurable converter solution for TFT display backlights has been introduced by Distec. The device, which extends the company’s SmartLED series, features the SmartLEDRover user software. This allows for precise adjustment to the requirements of various TFT displays.
Controller board targets eDP TFT displays
An autonomous TFT controller board has been introduced by Distec. Featuring a HDMI and a DisplayPort input, the PrismaECO-eDP controls TFT displays via a dual-lane eDP interface. The device, which supports a resolution of WSXGA to WUXGA (1600x900 to 1920x1200), can control the brightness of the display backlight via PWM or analogue voltage or an optional ambient light sensor.
Industrial display products presented at ISE
Distec will present several industrial display products at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE), the international trade fair for audiovisual and electronic integration, from 10th to 12th February 2015 in Amsterdam. The company expands possible combinations of different touchscreens and protective glasses for its VacuBond optical bonding process.
