Introduction
The CRTtoLCD-7 is a highly integrated TFT panel interface controller, which allows an easy adaptation of
standard video input sources like S-video, composite video, DVI or analog RGB to a digital TFT panel. The
CRTtoLCD-7 only needs one single 12V power supply and incorporates all needed functionality to build
up a full featured TFT monitor. The card generates the necessary power sequencing for the flat screen.
The highly flexible architecture of the CRTtoLCD-7 panel interface allows adapting nearly any available
TFT panel. Therefore a variety of panel adapters and programming are available on request.
