EIZO's eClient. WBT and Display Technology in One Package.
Innovative Design Lowers TCO While Redefining
the Term "Thin Client"
EIZO, the brand of choice of business and graphics professionals
seeking the highest quality display monitors, brings its technologi-
cal expertise to the burgeoning Windows-based Terminal (WBT)
market with its eClient series. The eClient blends EIZO's know-
how in manufacturing top-of-the-line monitors with WBT technol-
ogy for an innovative, simple, and cost effective thin client alterna-
tive. The new additions to the eClient lineup are the eClient
531L, an integrated 15-inch LCD monitor-WBT unit, and the
eClient 531LT-GR which also includes a touchscreen panel.
These models contain the compact design, specifications, and flex-
ibility to fulfill the thin client needs of almost any environment or
application including general administration, point-of-sales, facto-
ries, kiosks, and call centers.
With nearly all administrative and managerial tasks including soft-
ware installation and upgrade handled on the server, WBTs offer
an economical and practical alternative to desktop PCs.
EIZO takes the simplicity and cost effectiveness of standard
WBTs one step further by combining the display and terminal
into one compact, hassle-free unit. The result is an attractive,
space efficient design with the WBT so seamlessly integrated into
the monitor that the eClient appears to be a standard LCD moni-
tor. At a depth of less than 17 cm the eClient minimizes footprint
so users can maximize desktop space. IT managers will appreciate
this all-in-one arrangement with its lower total cost of ownership
(TCO) alternative to acquiring the WBT and display separately.
Furthermore, users no longer have to sacrifice desktop or floor
space to accommodate a separate thin client terminal or the exter-
nal power unit common with many LCD monitors. Setup of the
eClient is almost effortless; just connect the LAN cable and the
single power cord and the unit is ready for operation.

Advanced Design Blends Performance and Value
The eClient's 15-inch active matrix TFT LCD is uniquely
designed for environments where performance as well as a compact
design is essential. Specifications include a resolution of 1024 dots
768 lines, 0.297 mm pixel pitch, 300:1 contrast ratio, and a
2
200 cd/m
brightness level. Total weight with the stand included
is only 5.0 kg.
The eClient produces sharp, clear pictures free from flicker,
unstable brightness, and poor contrast so users can work for long
hours without eye fatigue, stress, and headaches. The single unit
design of the eClient assures the interface between the mother-
board and LCD panel remains purely digital.
The CPU is MIPS compatible 64 bit Reduce Instruction Set Com-
puter (RISC) with a speed of 168 MHz. It also contains 16 MB of
flash memory and 32 MB of SDRAM. The eClient includes a PS/2
keyboard and two button mouse, and provides local printer sup-
port with a parallel port. The unit does not utilize a fan or other
moving parts so operation is virtually silent.
Network Administrator Software for Fast Deployment,
Easy Management
The optional proprietary Network Administrator software allows
systems administrators to configure and maintain each client indi-
vidually and from a remote location.
Serial Port for Increased Usage Options
A serial port (RS-232C) adds connection flexibility through
peripheral support. By attaching a modem, remote users can
access the network from any location through a dial-up or dial-in
connection. With a barcode scanner, the eClient can serve as a ter-
minal for inventory and production

allows for user confirmation and
greater network security.

Touchscreen Support with the eClient 531LT-GR
While delivering the same high level of performance as its coun-
terpart, the eClient 531LT-GR incorporates an analog resis-
tive type panel that accepts both finger and pen touch input
and has a typical transparency rate of 79%. This is the per-
fect solution for factories, kiosks, point of sales, and other
environments that require not only the network capabili-
ty and low maintenance of WBTs, but also the option of
simple data input available only with a touchscreen
monitor.

Free Mount Capability and Portrait Mode
Especially useful in space constrained environ-
ments, the eClient's detachable panel provides a
way to reclaim 100% of the desktop. Once mount-
ed on an arm, the eClient supports portrait mode
for full page viewing of text documents and web
sites.
Low Energy Consumption
Terminal
Designed for maximum energy savings, the eClient con-
sumes only 30 watts of power during normal operation.
This is about half the power used by a stand alone termi-
nal and monitor, making it one of the most energy efficient
WBT solutions on the market today and further lowering
long term TCO. For additional reduction in electric and cool-
ing costs and prevention of unnecessary use of the LCD's back-
light, the eClient enters a power saving mode during periods of
inactivity where power consumption drops to less than 5 watts.
