Chapter 1 Welcome
Arista Corporation's 42" industrial waterproof LCD displays are designed to
operate in harsh environments, and are ideally suited for a wide variety of
industrial environments, applications and outdoor use.
This industrial waterproof LCD display consists of a 42", full HD display and a
smart Local Host Transmitter.
The high resolution, full HD display is capable of displaying large amounts of
critical production and process information, and provides floor personnel with
easy-to-see and easy-to-read production targets, cadence, alarms, machine
uptime and downtime measurements, and OEE (overall equipment effectiveness),
thushelpingtoimproveproductivityandefciencyintheworkplace.
With just one cost-effective RJ-45 LAN cable, the Local Host Transmitter lets
you extend video signals that cover distances of up to 330m (1,000ft). The Local
Host Transmitter is situated near the signal source, and the ADM-5842AX full
HD display can be placed in your preferred location. With built-in EQ and GAIN
control, the transmission path can be adjusted to adapt to the cable quality
and video bandwidth to attain desired video quality. Due to loss from long
distance transmissions, the VGA RGB delay control (de-skew) function provides
compensation for R, G, B color channel signals over a normal LAN cable.In order
to give the user more control, the Local Host Transmitter also has a built-in RS-
232 half-duplex long range extender that extends its signal simultaneously with
the VGA video signal.
