display walls. Its multi-screen capability allows you to con-
trol displays of nearly any size and layout. The display area is one logically connected display. It is able to digi-
tally control monitors based on modern technologies such as Single LCD, DLP™ and Poly-Silicon LCD with the
highest display quality. High contrast and absolute immunity to electromagnetic interference distinguishes this
type of control. CRT monitors and projectors can also be controlled by E
OS
using the optional analog output.

offers the possibility to operate it in normal boot mode or in eXtended safety boot mode. Normal boot mode
offers full write access to the hard disk. eXtended safety boot mode offers in addition to normal boot mode a
backup partition for improved system safety. System files are stored safely, and faultless startup is guaranteed
even after unpredictable events, e.g. power failure.
