Description
The military grade CPX family – comprised of 8U TFT LCD’s, offer rugged military rack mount or panel mount
LCD displays. Whether seeking a 15”, 17” or 19” display, these military touch screen monitors are designed to
perform and engineered to last. Meeting military standards 901D and 810G, the CPX family’s 5052-H32
aluminum construction and locking stainless steel hardware are inherently rugged and reliable. All electrical
components are selected for strength, integrity, and reliable operation. Rack mount ears are securely screwed to
the sides of the display body and can be removed, allowing the monitor to be used with a VESA mount, panel
mount or bulkhead mount.
The 17” and 19” displays are high performance, long life TFT LCD’s offering a maximum native resolution of
1280x1024. The displays offer optional optically bonded 3mm Dura Block 90 anti-reflective overlay glass. In
addition, an optional laminated 1.1mm soda lime glass with an ITO conductive EMI filter and an additional
1.1mm soda lime glass overlay with Dura Block 90 anti-reflective (AR) coating. Both glass components are
optically bonded to each other, and to the front of the display, for superior viewing clarity and overall
ruggedness. A 3mm copper bus bar surrounds the entire glass stack-up and provides consistent grounding. A
contrast ratio of approximately 1300:1 is delivered with this ITO/Anti-Reflective glass stack-up.
The 15-inch display offers 1024x768 resolution, transflective TFT technology and an LED backlight and is
intended for high bright installations such as outdoors. The other two models offer either 17-inch or 19-inch
LCDs with LED backlights. All other features of the systems are identical including dimensions, input signal
options and LCD controllers.

Table 1 – Display Specifications
Dura Block 90 is a two surface treatment. The front surface is an oleophobic anti-reflective coating resistant to
fingerprints. The inner surface is treated with an infrared resistant coating to reduce heat loading on the LCD
display from exposure to sunlight.
The displays offer 16.7 million colors (True Color). The displays provide multiple signal input options including
aRGB, DVI-D, DVI-I, NTSC, S-Video and Composite Video, depending on the controller.
The displays offer a choice of high quality advanced scaling controllers with a Genesis chipset. The Standard
Controller offers DVI-D and VGA (aRGB) inputs. The Advanced Controller offers DVI-D, VGA (aRGB), HDMI,
NTSC, S-Video and CVS with an option for Component (YCbCr) input. In addition, the Advanced Controller
supports Picture-In-Picture (PIP) and Picture-By-Picture. These are specifically ruggedized controllers offering
as standard conformal coating with high shock/vibration and temperature extreme tolerances as well as long life
product availability for assured delivery throughout multi-year programs.
As with all Chassis Plans products, a wide variety of custom options can be configured per customer or
application specific requirements. Contact your Sales Engineer to discuss your particular requirements.
