PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
5
Starting Point
Each Orion 18 features
safety glass, front
control panel, and low
power usage that
extends the life of the
monitor as well as
emanation protection
that make it less
susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
The Orion 18 is a thin,
lightweight, rugged
direct-mount liquid
crystal display.
Designed to replace
bulky power guzzling
17 to 21 CRTs, at
only .75 deep bezel
and 14 (8U) in height,
the Orion mounts
directly onto the rails of
a standard 19 RETMA
rack.
It has a 18 active
display area, featuring
up to 1280 x 1024 pixel
resolution.
The Orion 18 display
plugs-and-plays with
workstations and PCs.
With active-matrix LCD
technology to provide
superior color, the fully
sealed lightweight
aluminum construction
and sharper resolution
is perfect for shipboard,
airborne, field deployments, industrial or lab
applications where high
resolution as well as
weight and size are a
driving factor.
