The VTPC320VHB widescreen, LCD, daylight viewable computer can be used in a number of indoor and outdoor environments and workflows. It can serve as interactive computers, information and totem kiosks, multimedia workstations, and training simulation applications. It is also ideal for transportation industry applications such as arrival / departure traveler information systems for scheduling as well as real-time transit vehicle arrivals and departures in areas like railway depots, airport terminals and bus stations. The industrial all in one, LCD computer is also effective as an outdoor digital signage display for exhibiting information in high ambient lighting settings such as way-finding applications in public areas, parks and shopping centers. The VTPC320VHB can also be affective in security solution purposes at plant entrance gates and check points.

VarTech Systems Releases Their First Widescreen, WXGA, 7U, Rack Mount, Marine Grade LCD Display Monitor For Use In Demanding Maritime Environments


In order to meet the growing demands for larger widescreen display monitors in naval applications, VarTech Systems Inc. has engineered the VT190RWP2; a 16:10, 7U, rack mount monitor with a stunning WXGA (1440 X 900)  resolution display that is fully compatible with most marine electronics and computers. The VT190RWP2, which has a 0 to 50C operating temperature, consists of a 250 nits brightness LCD flat panel with an external, manual, full range dimming dial allowing for fluent 0 to 100 percent display illumination. In addition, the new marine grade display’s LCD flat panel comes standard with VarTech Systems' "VBond" optical bonding. This adds to the durability of the LCD screen while reducing solar reflectivity. These features make the VT190RWP2 a valuable addition to any sea vessel’s open cockpit or control room where there is a high degree of ambient outdoor lighting as well as night time conditions when less brightness is needed.

The marine grade VT190RWP2 display monitor’s mounting provisions include pass-through holes for easy installation into any console along with rugged front handles granting easy placement and retrieval during installs and/or removal. The monitor’s rugged black-powder coated aluminum front bezel increases its resistance to corrosion from harsh elements such as splashing salt and fresh water, mud, dirt and debris. The VT190RWP2 can be configured optionally with either resistive or capacitive touch screens, integrating well into marine computer systems and eliminating the need for a mouse and keyboard. Another testament to this marine grade monitor’s versatility is its optional power supply sources which can include either 12VDC or 9 – 36VDC.

The VT190RWP2 widescreen marine monitor can be used in a number of maritime environments and workflows. It can serve in sonar and underwater imaging, radar for vessel navigation, open cockpits, camera and video systems, fly bridges, pilot houses and cabins.      

VarTech Systems Inc. is an ISO 9001 registered company specializing in the manufacturing of military, marine and industrial grade displays and computer workstations.
