Barco MRFD-248HB Specifications

MRFD 248HB - High-Bright display

19“ Modular Rugged Flat Display for high ambient light conditions

The integrated Display Control Module (DCM) can be configured to
meet specific application requirements (e.g. multiple analog or digital
video inputs, direct camera input). The mixing functionality
incorporated in the MRFD 248HB, results in a total solution for image
overlay and mixing, with no need for separate video mixing cards to
be installed at the host computer. The MRFD 248HB also features BIT
(Built-in Test), which assists users in fault detection.

Main features:

• High-Bright sunlight readable LCD

• Bonded optical stack for superior ruggedization and elimination of

condensation problems

• Automatic Phase Adjust (APA) technology

• Optimized backlight performance and dimming curve

• On-Screen Display (OSD) for adjusting display settings

• Multiple analog or digital video inputs

• Low life cycle costs

• Optional LCD Flicker Compensation solution (LFC)

• Optional night vision goggle compatible

Barco's MRFD 248HB is a 19" High-Bright flat panel display specifically
developed for operation in high ambient light conditions and qualified
for use in harsh environments such as rotary wing platforms. The
MRFD 248HB also features an advanced NVIS option, designed to
provide operators a night vision goggle compatible display solution for
dark night conditions.

Barco’s MRFD 248HB is a member of the MRFD family, combining a
Rugged Display Module (RDM) with a high-performance Display
Control Module (DCM), connected by a single cable, the Barco
Intermodule Link (BIL). Thanks to this split design, the DCM can be
placed in a remote location, requiring less space.

The MRFD’s Display Module features a sunlight-readable LCD with a
resolution of 1280 x 1024, offering exceptional performance in high
ambient light conditions. A front bonded optical stack ensures
optimum optical performance at all times and offers a truly rugged,
condensation-free visualization solution under all conditions. Moreover,
the Rugged Display Module feature Automatic Phase Adjust (APA)
technology, offering clear and sharp images over time. Optionally, the
display can be equipped with Barco’s unique, patented LCD Flicker
Compensation solution (LFC), guaranteeing flicker-free images
(e.g. Sonar applications,...) at all times.
