Calibre PremierView 18ID Manual

PremierView18ID
Calibre specialises in high performance LCD
display solutions for industrial, OEM, military
and aerospace applications. PremierView
monitors feature flexible signal capability,
excellent motion reproduction and accurate,
artifact free image re-sizing.
Calibre's PremierView18ID is a very high
performance TFT-LCD display. Based
around Calibre's proprietary PremierView4
LCD driver technology, it is able to connect
directly to a very wide range of video or
computer image sources and display images
full screen on its 18.1" viewable diagonal,
wide viewing angle screen.
PremierView4 is one of the most flexible LCD systems on the market able to accept a wide range of input
resolutions. PremierView4 features true autoscanning real-time software algorithms to allow it to be adjusted to
suit most non-standard resolutions and signal timings within its resolution, line and field rate ranges. Specific
compatibility with non-standard signal timings and custom resolutions can also be provided as a customer specific
option.
PremierView18ID uses a high resolution 1280x1024 TFT LCD panel for display of real-time Video or computer
VGA-UXGA full screen. Through the standard VGA connector, composite sync and sync on green from high
resolution sources such as workstations are also supported. A DVI digital graphics input is available as an
optional extra.
A professional grade video decoder is available as an option which gives outstanding composite and YC video
performance through the use of a 4-line comb filter and vertical noise reduction algorithm. This option also adds a
selectable RGB/YUV component video input. SDI serial digital video with PAL or NTSC timings is also available
as an additional option. A lower cost standard grade video decoder is also available for less demanding
applications.
High performance scaling algorithms work without compromising image quality or resolution irrespective of the
signal resolution implemented. It is compatible with Composite and Y/C (SVHS, S-video) inputs with automatic
detection of PAL, NTSC & SECAM video, and/or most computer RGB signals from 640x350 up to 1600x1200.
Very flexible wide-ranging picture controls are provided via an on-screen menu. These controls include picture
size/position controls as well as contrast, brightness, and colour/hue for video.
PremierView18ID uses a high brightness very high contrast ratio 18.1" wide viewing angle LCD panels from IDtech
(IBM). This panel has 270cd/m2 typical typical brightness, 24-bits per pixel and ultra-wide viewing angles of
typically 85deg left/right and up/down. PremierView18ID provides an exceptional image with accurate grey-scale
reproduction and clean image scaling. When driving the IDtech panel with video images PremierView4 uses a
double-buffered video frame-rate tracking algorithm to avoid frame tear on fast moving objects.
PremierView18ID is available as a metal cased display unit or as an OEM open chassis module. The metal
cased display unit incorporates side mounting points. Cased units include an anti-scratch, anti-glare front viewing
window. Touchscreens are also available to order. Optional accessories include a desk stand, wall mounts,
telescopic arm mount and a 19" rackmount kit.
