Overview

The LCD monitor SCD 1297 has been developed and constructed especially for industrial
applications. This monitor can be used in applications where a standard CRT-device would
be unsuitable, due to space or environmental restrictions.
Its compact enclosure opens up a wide spectrum of possible application areas for the
SCD 1297, ranging from air-conditioned computer rooms behind a switching cabinet door, to
the immediate vicinity of machinery in a special protective enclosure. As all industrial
systems, the monitor has been designed to meet the particular demands, e.g. immune to
electromagnetic radiation and wide temperature range.
With the use of the trend-setting LCD technology in this monitor relegated picture geometry
distortion and color patches are no longer an issue. Even at the low refresh rate of 50 Hz. the
screen remains flicker-free. The SCD 1297 thus fulfils even the strictest ergonomic
requirements. Pictures of lower resolution are expanded to fill the screen.
The SCD 1297 can display up to 16.2 Mio. colors. This allows to show true color images and
videos. The LCD-monitor contains special hardware to convert a standard analogue VGA
video signal. Compatibility with conventional CRT monitors is guaranteed.
It is very easy to adjust the monitor settings using the clearly designed OSD (On Screen
Display). The "Automatic Alignment" function does away with the need to carry out tedious
adjustments such as picture position and phase. By pressing a button, the monitor performs
these alignments automatically.
The SCD 1297 is equipped with an active 12.1" TFT display module with a maximum
resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. The integrated power management system VESA DPMS,
allows a significant reduction in power consumption when the synchronization signal from the
computer has been switched off, compared with that under "normal" operation.
Three versions of the monitor are available:
• mountable with front plate
• 19" rack 6 U
