The ACTAS Control Unit
The ACTAS Control Unit is a hand-held micro controller
with 8 control buttons in the middle and a 4 x 20 character
LCD display at the top. The LCD display is backlit which
allows operations in the dark. Operating instructions will
be shown on this LCD display. The Control unit has non-
volatile memory to store the reference data. The Control
Unit is built in a rugged metal housing to increase
protection against damage.
The buttons are configured similarly to the adjustment
buttons on a standard BARCO Remote Control Unit
(RCU).
