Genesis Based LCD Controllers
The LCD Controller is a key component in any display system and no expense has been spared in specifying
the Standard Controller and Advanced Controller Genesis controllers. These are long life revision controlled
military grade components. The Genesis chip set is the current gold standard for LCD controllers. The
controllers support 3x8-bit 16.7 million colors at up to 1600x1200 (Advanced Controller) scaled to 1280x1024
native panel resolution. Refresh rates of 60Hz for UXGA and SXGA with higher refresh rates for lower
resolutions available. Computer input signals of VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, WXGA and UXGA are supported.
Video inputs of NTSC, PAL and SECAM are optionally available. DVI inputs supports up to 1600x1200 60Hz
signals. These ruggedized military grade controllers are rated for operating at -40 to +80 deg C, use low mass
tantalum capacitors for maximum vibration and shock tolerance and are conformal coated for extreme
ruggedness. The coating is silicone resin conformal coating.(MOD) DEF-STAN 59/47 Issue 4 &UL QMJU2
compliant
MTBF for the controllers is in excess of 150,000 to 200,000 hours.
The Standard Controller provides up scaling while the Advanced Controller provides up and down scaling. This
allows input scaling of virtually any input signal to scale the image to the 1280x1024 native LCD panel
resolution. They provide for PC, Apple and Sun input resolutions.
The Standard Controller and Advanced Controller provide DVI-D inputs.
