VM Unit Features
The VM Unit allows you to display images from external video cameras or from a PC
on the GP/GLC/ABS screen. You can also use the VM Unit to output GP/GLC/ABS
screen images to other devices.
• External Video Camera (VIDEO) input is supplied via four (4) connectors, and PC
monitor (RGB) input is via a single D-sub connector, for a total of five inputs.
These inputs can be used to create up to four (4) video displays on your GP/GLC/ABS
screen.
• The VM Unit provides the GP/GLC/ABS with a single video (RGB) output, which
allows the display of GP/GLC/ABS screen images on a PC monitor.
• GP/GLC/ABS screen data can also be captured, converted to a JPEG file and saved
to a CF Card. JPEG images on a CF Card can also be read in by the GP/GLC/ABS
and displayed.
