1.2 Display Description
NVIS LCD Displays offer the largest display in the smallest housing, minimizing overall dimensions, enabling
multiple displays to be mounted and maximizing available space.
Each display is fitted with interface circuits that allow it to be connected with up to two (2) inputs from
standard PC graphics cards. The display can accept signals of lower resolution, such as VGA. These signals are
scaled so that they are displayed full screen.
Along with conventional LCD brightness and contrast controls, the display has an advanced dynamic
brightness dimming technique, permitting full brightness to “Change to Red”, “Change to Blue” and “Change
to Green” selectable at any brightness which is typically employed during night-time operation at low
backlight levels.
A unique but simple On Screen Display (OSD) user interface allows the user to adjust a wide variety of display
parameters if necessary. Once the parameters are set they are stored in non-volatile EEPROM. This ensures
that the set-up is retained after power is switched off.
All Displays are designed for operation from an external regulated 24V DC supply.
Each NVIS LCD Display is shipped with a 1 Year Limited Warranty 100% parts and labour.
