The Balefire sunlight readable military monitor
is built to take punishment in outdoor environments. To allow for operation in tropical
climates, the enclosure is sealed to MIL-STD810E (Rain) standards while performing in a
0° to +60° C temperature range. The display
is enhanced with an ESR film and the system
has an op-tional sun visor that can be raised to
further enhance sunlight readability or lowered
to protect the display when not in use.
To provide sunlight readability with minimal
temperature rise, the 15” AMTFT LCD utilizes
ESR enhancements. Viewing enhancement
filters are included to reduce sunlight loading.
These passive enhancements, along with the
transflective backlight film, match the index
of refraction to reduce light reflecting back
at the viewer. This, in turn, increases the contrast ratio and maximizes the readability of
the display in bright lighting conditions.
Functions keys can be assigned to various
system functions for user input without an
additional keyboard. Number keys are also
included. Video and keypad information is
transferred over a CAT5 connection through a
KVM extender module up to 600 ft away from
the source computer.
A dimming control knob mounted on the front
bezel allows adjustment of the display brightness for optimum screen viewability under
any lighting condition.
