Panel PCs for outdoor and bright environments

3 October 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

Ampro has broadened its line of Panel PC systems to target OEMs who need finer display resolutions or wish to deploy systems in outdoor or other bright environments. The ReadyPanel 10 panel computer enables rapid deployment of digital signage, human machine interface (HMI) and medical applications.

System manufacturers can now order the product with either a daylight-readable VGA display or a 1024 x 768 resolution XGA display, to complement the existing choices of operating systems, RAM size up to 1 GB DDR SODIMM, Compact Flash size, hard disk drive capacity, CANbus or other PC/104 expansion I/O connectivity, and scalable CPU performance from 500 MHz to 1,4 GHz. ReadyPanel 6.5 now supports a choice of VGA and XGA resolutions with most of the same accompanying options as ReadyPanel 10.

For simplicity of overall system design and future product line migration, a single external +12 V or +24 V d.c. input powers each ReadyPanel model. Embedded Linux, Windows XP Embedded, and Windows CE are pre-installed on Compact Flash devices, while Windows XP Professional for Embedded and desktop Linux are available on optional 2,5" hard disk drives.
