1. Overview
The LCD monitor SCD 1597-R/RT/R8S has been developed and constructed especially for
industrial applications. This monitor can be used in applications where a standard CRT-
device would be unsuitable, due to space or environmental restrictions.
Its compact enclosure opens up a wide spectrum of possible application areas for the SCD
1597-R/RT/R8S, ranging from air-conditioned computer rooms in a 19" rack, to the
immediate vicinity of machinery in a special protective enclosure. As is the case for all
industrial systems, the monitor has been designed to withstand the particular demands
placed upon such equipment, e.g., it is immune to electromagnetic radiation and can
withstand a large temperature range.
The trend-setting LCD technology in this monitor has relegated picture geometry distortion
and colour patches to the past. Even at the low refresh rate of 50 Hz. the screen remains
flicker-free. The SCD 1597-R/RT/R8S thus fulfils even the strictest ergonomic requirements.
Pictures of lesser resolution are expanded to fill the screen.
The SCD 1597-R/RT/R8S can simultaneously display up to 262,144 colours enabling realistic
colour images and videos to be displayed. The LCD-monitor contains special hardware to
convert a standard analogue VGA video signal for the display controller. Compatibility with
conventional CRT monitors is, thus, guaranteed.
It is very easy to adjust the monitor settings using the clearly designed OSD (On Screen
Display). The “Automatic Alignment” function does away with the need to carry out tedious
adjustments such as picture position and phase. At the press of a button, the monitor
performs these alignments automatically.
The SCD 1597-R/RT/R8S is equipped with an active 15.0” TFT display module with a
maximum resolution of 1024x768 pixels. The integrated power management system VESA
DPMS, allows a significant reduction in power consumption when the synchronisation signal
from the computer has been switched off, compared with that under “normal” operation.
