RUGGED VISION-ENHANCED DRIVER MONITOR

DSE has designed a new vision-enhanced monitor driver for use in any tactical military vehicle. New features of the rugged monitor include:

• DVR (digital video recorder)
• Electronic zoom
• FUSION (multiple image overlay)
• Image stabilization
• Integrated NVIS technology
• LAP (local area processing - image enhancement)
• LED backlighting
• Mounts in standard A-kits - backwards compatible with Legacy DVE installations
• PIP (picture in picture)
• PBP (picture by picture)
• Stitching
• Target tracking
• Touch screen user interface
• User selectable covert operations (viewable only with NVGs)

DSE’S INTEGRATED NVIS TECHNOLOGY

DSE military night-vision monitors possess the latest NVIS technology. The NVIS components are integrated internally in the rugged display. The ruggedized display has no internal reflection or "halo" effects and maintains a zero color shift. The monitor will not bloom NVGs (Night Vision Goggles) of its maximum brightness of 1,000 nits.

ALL-WEATHER MONITORS SERIES

DSE’s All-Weather Monitor (AWM) is a waterproof, sunlight-viewable monitor. The sealed display is housed in an IP67 / NEMA 6 milled billet aluminium enclosure. The AWM series is lightweight and watertight, equipped with IP68 / NEMA 6P rated sealed connectors. The industrial rugged LCD TFT display offers an optional LED backlight, and NVIS option, making it viewable under direct sunlight and during night-time conditions.

• 8.4in - 15.0in TFT LCD sizes available
• Optional MIL-STD-3009: NVIS compliant
• Optional LED backlight
• Optional touch screen
• Inputs available: composite, S-video, and RGB
• Mounting options available: panel, ram, flush Mount, and 19in rack mount

MILITARY GRADE RUGGED MOBILE COMPUTERS

DSE offers the rugged VMC (Vehicle Mount Computer) for highly reliable vehicle applications. The anti-shock and anti-vibration mounting system makes the rugged computer the industry choice for ruggedized computing applications. The VMC supports both an LVDS monitor (DSE’s AWM L series) and a standard RGB monitor (DSE’s AWM R and VR series) simultaneously, allowing flexibility in monitor applications. Features include:

• Intel Celeron M 600MHz to 1.4GHz
• 512MB/B to 1G memory
• Video - Intel 852GM GMCH 64 shared system memory
• Network - 10/100 BaseT Ethernet
