Barco increases display capacity for ATC controller working positions
New 24-inch auxiliary display extends main display surface with over 50%
ATCA, Dallas, TX, USA, 2 November 2005 – Visualization specialist Barco is proud to launch a brand-new display solution for the Air Traffic Control market. With the innovative 24-inch Auxiliary Display Panel ADP361, the company offers a flexible means to expand the display capacity of controller working positions.
The ADP361 allows both main display surface and resolution to be extended with over 50% per added panel. It can be used beside a main display (in portrait mode) or on top of a main display (in landscape mode).
Barco’s new auxiliary display has been engineered to provide superior image quality and image consistency with 2048 x 2048 main displays on a 24 x 7 basis. First of all, the unique Automatic Phase Adjust (APA) function guarantees artifact-free images over time. Furthermore, the display features a sophisticated backlight stabilization feature and an integrated hardware image rotator allowing for optimum use in both portrait and landscape mode.
What’s more, the ADP361 is equipped with built-in automatic color calibration circuitry. When combined with an optional color sensor, the ADP361 display can be automatically calibrated, so it is perfectly color matched with the adjacent main or auxiliary displays. In combination with a large dimming range, very high panel contrast and excellent color tracked control range, a large, color consistent HMI surface is guaranteed between displays, between controller working positions and over time.
Barco’s ADP361 relies on Barco’s near-zero maintenance concept, which encompasses an easy set-up, internal stabilization and calibration and several Built-In Test (BIT) patterns for easy diagnostics. In addition, Barco’s optional CHECKUP! configuration and maintenance software continuously checks the registered ADP361 displays for their online status and warns system administrators for preventive maintenance actions. Last but not least, Barco’s worldwide PRO.CARE support service assures long-term support and operational service for the ADP361.
The first ADP361 units will be available by the end of the year.
