Commercial display advantages of NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCDs
When provisioning interactive touchscreens for busy, commercial display applications, it’s important to keep in mind the demands of such uses. For that reason, you have to choose an HID screen... more/see it nowdesigned specifically for harsh use in public spaces, whether in malls, retail stores, airports, or hospitals, and ensure that the screen fits the viewing environment.
Black Box’s NEC®/3M® Touchscreen LCDs are a good choice for such busy venues. Featuring chemically strengthened glass substrate and an advanced design, they are durable enough to withstand heavy daily use, making them ideal for busy interactive wayfinding, retail PoS/PoP, and visitor information service applications—including signage that you expect to operate 24/7 (and don’t want to have to service in the middle of the night).
For one, the touchscreen LCDs boast reliable touch performance, so customers aren’t forced to repeatedly press the glass to advance to the next screen or get their desired content to display. Fitted with 3M® MicroTouch™ Dispersive Signal Technology (DST) overlays, the LCD bezels are unlike most traditional touchscreens that detect touch by interrupting acoustic waves, optical fields, or infrared beams above the surface of the screen; the DST panels detect touch by interpreting bending waves within the glass substrate. High-speed processors and complex algorithms are used to interpret the information and precisely calculate the location of a finger contact, resulting in a fast and accurate touch response.
In addition, the NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCDs’ performance isn’t affected by dust and other on-screen contaminants, or even static objects or hands resting on the screens. They’re also designed to operate even if the surface itself is damaged.
Plus, the LCDs themselves are designed for extended use. Available in standard and industrial-strength versions, the professional-grade NEC LCDs boast high brightness and contrast ratios for rendering of crisp images and text in venues with lots of ambient light.
A sealed panel design prevents contaminants like dust, grease, or steam from damaging the LCD panel. Round-The-Clock Scheduler technology enables advanced scheduling of display powering up/down, which can increase the life of the panel while reducing power consumption.
The P Series NEC/3M LCD Touchscreen LCD versions offer additional protection. They boast an industrial-strength design with additional thermal protection and internal temperature sensors with fan-based technology. What’s more, a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness based on the application’s lighting conditions, helping to reduce energy consumption.

DisplayPort cable.
DisplayPort is a digital video interface that was designed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in 2006 and has been produced since 2008. It competes directly with HDMI®. Unlike... more/see it nowHDMI, however, DisplayPort is an open standard with no royalties.
This digital interface is used primarily between a computer and a monitor or a high-definition television and is built into many computer chipsets produced today. It’s incredibly versatile, with the capability to deliver digital video, audio, bidirectional communications, and accessory power over a single connector.
DisplayPort v1.1 supports a maximum of 10.8 Gbps over a 2-meter cable; v1.2 supports up to 21.6 Gbps. DisplayPort v1.2 also enables you to daisychain up to four monitors with only a single output cable. It also offers the future promise of DisplayPort Hubs that would operate much like a USB hub.
The standard DisplayPort connector is very compact and features latches that don’t add to the connector’s size. Unlike HDMI, a DisplayPort connector is easily lockable with a pinch-down locking hood, so it can't be easily dislodged. However, a quick squeeze of the connector releases the latch.
DisplayPort supports cable lengths of up to 15 meters with maximum resolutions at cable lengths up to 3 meters. Bidirectional signaling enables DisplayPort to both send and receive data from an attached device.
With the proper adapters, DisplayPort cable can carry DVI and HDMI signals, although this doesn’t work the other way around—DVI and HDMI cable can’t carry DisplayPort. Because DisplayPort can provide power to attached devices, DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI adapters don’t need a separate power supply.
The Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP or mDP) is a miniatured version of the DisplayPort interface. It carries both digital and analog computer video and audio signals. Apple® introduced the Mini DisplayPort connector in 2008 and it is now on all new Mac® computers. It is also being used in newer PC notebooks. This small form factor connector fully supports the VESA DisplayPort protocol. It is particularly useful on systems where space is at a premium, such as laptops, or to support multiple connectors on reduced height add-in cards.

Black Box Explains... Digital Optic Cable
Many new, high-quality Mini Disc, pro-audio, DAT (Digital Audio Tape), CD, DVD, and laser disc players, as well as digital amplifiers, DSS satellite receivers, and computer sound cards, are manufactured... more/see it nowwith digital optical output connectors.
These connectors attach to optical cables, which are constructed with a PVC jacket and a plastic core. The cables transfer information accurately over short distances via digital light signals with low loss and no distortion.
Digital optical cable with plastic-core construction is less expensive than fiber optic cable with a glass core, but it still provides the benefits of optical transmission over short distances.
Digital audio makes it possible to use high-quality digital-to-analog converters, which help to maintain the integrity of sound signals from high-end electronic devices.
The two types of connectors associated with digital optical transmission are TOSLINK®, a Toshiba® trademark, and the 3.5-mm Mini Plug connector. collapse

Black Box Explains...USB 2.0 and USB OTG.
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) hardware (plug-and-play) standard makes connecting peripherals to your computer easy.
USB 1.1, introduced in 1995, is the original USB standard. It has two data rates:... more/see it now12 Mbps for devices such as disk drives that need high-speed throughput and 1.5 Mbps for devices such as joysticks that need much lower bandwidth.
In 2002, a newer specification, USB 2.0, or Hi-Speed USB 2.0, gained wide acceptance in the industry. This version is both forward- and backward-compatible with USB 1.1. It increases the speed of the peripheral to PC connection from 12 Mbps to 480 Mbps, or 40 times faster than USB 1.1!
This increase in bandwidth enhances the use of external peripherals that require high throughput, such as CD/DVD burners, scanners, digital cameras, video equipment, and more. USB 2.0 supports demanding applications, such as Web publishing, in which multiple high-speed devices run simultaneously. USB 2.0 also supports Windows® XP through a Windows update.
An even newer USB standard, USB On-The-Go (OTG), is also in development. USB OTG enables devices other than a PC to act as a host. It enables portable equipment—such as PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and digital music players—to connect to each other without the need for a PC host.
USB 2.0 specifies three types of connectors: the A connector, the B connector, and the Mini B connector. A fourth type of connector, the Mini A (used for smaller peripherals such as mobile phones), was developed as part of the USB OTG specification. collapse
