In 1U to 2U form factors and 19" viewing areas, with up to two additional Picture-in-Picture (PIP) video feeds, the stowable vision systems can substantially reduce the footprint of equipment necessary to run mission control centers. Fitting in any 19" RETMA rack or transit case, these displays are available with an array of options such as a water-tight keyboard and trackball, PS2 or USB keyboards and touch pad. Designed with dual quick Z lock/release mechanisms for quick operational setup and adjustable monitor positioning, the stowable displays also offer flip-up drawers and flip up or flip down monitor configurations.
