Motium's Tuff View 10.4-inch LCD monitors have been designed for rugged environments such as industrial control and the transportation industry, be it in-vehicle for automotive (cars, busses, trucks), marine or aircraft. Each aspect of the design considered the unique needs of these markets.
Image quality is brilliant, with very wide viewing angle and 1024x768 native resolution. The monitor is truly sunlight readable (with touch-screen fitted), and has real backlight control*, removing any night-blindness issues.
The MLC-1010 is water and dust proof (to IP65/NEMA-4), and has been designed for operation in continuous vibration environments, and to cope with shock.
A 75mm VESA mount allows industry standard in-vehicle mounting hardware to be used.
The touch screen interface supports both USB and RS232 (allowing operation with long cable runs). An internal speaker allows PC audio and warning tones to be easily heard.
The MLC-1010 operates from 9V to 34V DC and has a load-dump and transient protected power input, allowing direct connection to vehicle power. Typical operating power is less than 11 watts, extremely low for a monitor with this performance.
An operating temperature range of -20°C to +65°C allows the MLC-1010 to be used in a wide variety of conditions.
* On standard LCD monitors, when the brightness is adjusted, what actually happens is the colours are changed, but the light level leaving the monitor is the same. The MLC-1010 changes the actual backlight light level and leaves the colours the same. (An optional automatic backlight brightness control, using an in-built light sensor is available.)
