Multiple Input Connectors
The Raptor SQ2801 comes equipped with an analog BNC x 5 and two DVI-I (digital, dual link) connectors so it can work seamlessly in any technical environment. The triple-interface architecture offers the ability to implement redundancy plans, which are essential in mission critical areas such as air traffic control should a PC system ever falter. Analog support also allows the monitor to serve as a drop-in replacement for the Sony DDM CRT.
Flexible Installation
Four versions are available for different installation requirements. Chassis and panel-mount versions are designed to fit into existing consoles with rear- and front-side mounting respectively. Desktop and free mount (VESA compatible) versions are also available.
Backlight Stabilizer and Replaceable Backlight Trays
 An integrated automatic backlight stabilizer allows the controller to set the backlight brightness to a value between 30 and 150 cd/m2 and ensures backlight brightness remains constant. When the backlight trays inevitably need replacing due to aging, they can be easily swapped out on site, saving considerable expense and downtime.
1000:1 Contrast Ratio
This high contrast ratio makes it easier to distinguish easily between similarly colored figures in large spreads of data, which helps reduce the possibility of error. It also ensures dark tones are more distinct, therefore making the monitor suited to dim environments such as control centers.
Best Response Time in Its Class
This fast response time ensures that moving images such as weather patterns, tracks, and rubber-banding will be displayed clearly and without image delay. This will not only benefit the controller immediately with clear and sharp images, but it will also reduce eye fatigue over the course of a shift.

Detailed Screen Adjustments
An abundance of on-screen display functions simplify adjusting the screen as well as providing extensive color control. A quick OSD menu allows for adjusting frequently used functions like brightness and contrast. Other adjustments offered in the more detailed OSD menu include gamma, color temperature, sharpness, image position, and backlight control.
Multiple Resolution Support and Image Scaling
Supports resolutions from 640 x 480 up to its native 2048 x 2048. Any non-native resolution can be displayed in its actual size, scaled proportionately, or expanded to fill the screen. This is helpful when using the monitor’s single link input or receiving other non-native resolutions as is typically necessary for setup. It also means a smaller auxiliary monitor is not necessary to view boot data or failure data.

Heat Output and Power Consumption
The heat produced by a monitor is a key factor in product performance. Most monitors for air traffic controllers are located inside an enclosed console and therefore reduction of heat output is crucial to the reliability of all hardware inside the console. By consuming just 150 watts of power in normal operation and 15 watts in standby mode, the Raptor SQ2801 keeps heat output low. This not only improves product reliability and performance, but also lessens the power requirements for air conditioners in the control center to further save on electricity costs.
Two Year Warranty
The Raptor SQ2801 is backed by a two year manufacturer’s warranty. |
