PUBLIC DISPLAYS FOR AIRPORT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

CONRAC GmbH introduces a new generation of public displays, specially designed for FIDS and PIDS.

The use of high grade industrial components, modular construction, robust aluminium housing and special laminated safety glass panel with high efficiency anti-glare treatment make the displays the perfect choice for 24h operation in demanding applications.

Based on either TFT/LCD or plasma technology, different screen sizes and configurations are available. For highly flexible use in public information systems, the flat panel displays are available as monitor-only versions for connection to standard PC systems or with an integrated graphic engine board (GEB) for networked systems, allowing control and monitoring of key display functions from a central server in the network.
