The TFT Monitor Raptor SQ2801 was developed to meet the very demanding requirements in the Air
Traffic Management where system availability and reliability is crucial. Ergonomic criteria have been
addressed to ensure high acceptance from the operators.
Reduced depth and lower weight compared to CRT monitors allow easy installation into workstation
consoles of air traffic control rooms. Considerably lower power consumption and heat emissions are
some of the other advantages over CRT based units.
The TFT technology employed in this design is based on Sharp’s ASV technology and offers very
sharp, undistorted image, right up to the edges. Unlike the CRT counterpart, this technology does not
have problems such as convergence or effects from electro magnetic radiation.
The Raptor SQ2801 is a 28.05“ TFT module with native resolution of 2,048 x 2,048 pixel. Wide
viewing angle of 170° (horizontally and vertically), a contrast ratio of 1000 : 1 and maximum
brightness of 210 cd/m² enable very clear and sharp pictures with color depth of 16.7 million colors. It
is backward compatible with Sony’s DDM1 monitors.
The Raptor SQ2801 product has two dual link DVI-D (digital) inputs and one analog input. OSD (on
screen display) allows control of various configurable parameters such as brightness, contrast and
input switching. These parameters can also be controlled via RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces.
Remote control software is available from Tech Source.
