Z Microsystems unveils next generation smart display fusing state-of-the-art display technology with workstation-class computing power in one compact package.

San Diego, California (January 10, 2007) Field-ready computing specialist Z Microsystems announced today that it has launched its new line of powerful, space-saving smart display systems. The rugged MIL-SPEC Integrated Display Station (IDS) is a large format, high definition display and scalable workstation-class computer integrated into a single chassis. Ideal for graphic and video intensive applications, the IDS can be configured for naval, airborne and land-based platforms.

An evolutionary response to the military’s demand for ever-expanding computing power in increasingly restrictive spaces, the IDS eliminates the need for separate workstation and display configurations--freeing up valuable space, reducing weight and eliminating complex cabling. Redundant security features, including a front removable hard drive and SmartCard reader protect sensitive data and control user access. A long-life COM Express module “future proofs” the IDS by seamlessly accommodating the latest processor upgrades, while a removable power supply facilitates ease of maintenance. Three PCI expansion slots and a host of easily accessible I/O ports provide the scalability and configurability to meet a variety of net-centric warfare requirements.

Available in expansive 20.1” and 21.3” sizes, the display subsystem offers brilliant 1600 x 1200 native pixel resolution shielded by a quick-release protective lens. With up to six independently controllable input feeds and up to six Picture-in-Picture video inserts, one IDS can replace six standard displays for additional space and weight savings. Combine advanced hardware with intuitive SoftMenu controls and a touch screen and the Integrated Display Station becomes a powerful efficient tool for C4ISR, battlefield management and situational awareness applications.
