The standard unit uses four-wire touch screen technology with an optional heavy duty capacitive touch-screen available for systems designed to be operated by the public. The standard unit is configured around an AMD Geode GX533 CPU with an LVDS connection to the 800x600 LCD panel. This produces 262K colours at a contrast ration of 500:1 and a brightness of 450 cd/sqm making it ideal for use in many different environments. The PC has up to 512Mb of RAM and an on-board VGA controller, which can be used to drive a second display, audio and dual LAN interfaces. A laptop style 40GB HDD installed as standard can be substituted for a solid state device if required. Alternatively the CompactFlash socket can be used as the storage medium. An on-board Mini-PCI site and PCMCIA socket can provide a wireless LAN or other specialised interfaces. The OPC-363-84 is powered from 12VDC with power consumption is a miserly 10W and no forced cooling is required. The optional rear cover adds EMC shielding and protection from damage and has the facility to house a cooling fan for high ambient temperature applications. Two RJ45 LAN ports, 1 CRT port, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port and a D-sub and DC-min ports are provided for external connection at the base of the unit. *** Ends: body copy 253 words *** Notes to Editors.
