Chapter 1 - Introduction

Description

The CCXR-17 is a military grade high performance 1U clamshell LCD keyboard drawer offering 17-inch TFT

LCD displays and sealed NEMA-4 keyboards. Unique is the side orientation allowing use in extremely tight quarters. The display can be pulled out as little as 20-inches allowing full unrestricted use in a corridor or passage that narrow such as found in an equipment or radio van mounted on a Humvee. There is no other display with keyboard offering that compact footprint.

The CCX family is designed to meet Mil-Std 901D and 810F and includes a solid milled aluminum front panel, lightweight 5052-H32 aluminum construction and locking stainless hardware throughout. The drawer is held closed by two captive thumb screws. Friction slides are included standard. Friction slides assure the drawer stays where you put it and doesn’t randomly slide in and out of the rack in the back of a moving vehicle. The

CCXR-17 is ideal for mounting in a transit case or moving vehicle for adverse environments that would destroy lesser displays.

The 17-inch display offers 1280 x 1024 native resolution, 380nit brightness, 1000:1 native contrast, and 80 degree viewing angle.

The display is provided with 1.1mm soda lime glass with an ITO conductive EMI filter and an additional 1.1mm soda lime glass overlay with sputtered anti-reflective (AR) coating. Both pieces of glass are optically bonded to each other and to the front of the display for superior viewing and ruggedness. A 3mm copper bus bar around the entire glass stack-up provides grounding. The contrast is enhanced to approximately 1300:1 with this

ITO/Anti-Reflective glass stack-up.

The Aspect Ratio for the display is 5:4. The Pixel Pitch for the 17-inch display is .264 x .264mm. The display offers 16.7 million colors (True Color). The display provides multiple signal input options including aRGB and

DVI-D.

The display offers a high quality advanced scaling controller with a Genesis chipset. The LCD controller offers

DVI-D and VGA (aRGB) inputs. This is a specifically ruggedized controller offering as standard conformal coating with high shock/vibration and temperature extreme tolerances.

With only 24.6-inches of installed depth, the CCXR-17 is perfect for confined rack or transit case installations.

Adapters are provided for mounting in up to 37-inch deep racks. They are primarily designed for rugged Military applications but can be used in Industrial, Commercial, or Broadcast applications where reliability, quality and long program life availability preclude the use of cheaply made imported units.

A choice of two sealed keyboards is offered providing either a Touchpad or Hula Point pointing device. Both keyboards are NEMA-4 / IP65 rated sealed silicone rubber construction with tactile feedback and full travel for comfortable typing. Carbon on gold contacts assures reliable operation. The keyboards are rated for 10 million lifecycles per switch.

The Touchpad keyboard offers 97 keys with two mouse buttons while the Hula Pointer version offers 113 keys with three mouse buttons. Both PS/2 and USB outputs are standard with the Hula Point version while the

Touchpad version is available only with USB output. The Touch Pad version is backlit. The keyboards are completely sealed to meet IP-65 to prevent liquid ingress so coffee and Coke spills don't faze them. The keyboards can be wiped down with a wet rag to clean any spills.

A built-in 4- port VGA KVM is available.

As with all Chassis Plans products, a wide variety of custom options can be configured per customer or application specific requirements. Contact your Sales Engineer to discuss your particular requirements.

Genesis Based LCD Controller

The LCD Controller is a key component in any display system and no expense has been spared in specifying the Genesis controller used in the CCXR-17. This is a long life revision controlled military grade component.

The Genesis chip set is the current gold standard for LCD controllers. The controllers support 3x8-bit 16.7 million colors at up to 1600x1200 scaled to 1280x1024 native panel resolution. Refresh rates of 60Hz for UXGA and SXGA with higher refresh rates for lower resolutions available. Computer input signals of VGA, SVGA,

XGA, SXGA, WXGA and UXGA are supported. DVI inputs supports up to1600x1200 60Hz signals. This ruggedized military grade controller is rated for operating at -40 to +80 deg C, use low mass tantalum capacitors for maximum vibration and shock tolerance and are conformal coated for extreme ruggedness. MTBF for the controllers is in excess of 200K hours.

The controller will provide input scaling of virtually any input signal to scale the image to the 1280x1024 native

LCD panel resolution. They provide for PC, Apple and Sun input resolutions.

Friction Slides

Rugged General Devices friction slides have been specified. Ball bearing slides are a weak point in any rackmount keyboard design and the use of friction slides negates those problems. Using friction slides allows the keyboard to stay at the position you place it without the use of troublesome lock-outs. Friction slides also have a very high tolerance for dust and dirt that typically destroys ball bearing slides in very short order.

Ultra high quality milled aluminum Jonathon slides are optionally available as specified.

LCD Enhancements

In the CCX family of rugged military grade LCD keyboard drawers, Chassis Plans starts with Grade A Industrial

Quality LCD panels selected for optical performance, high reliability and long product life cycle. In order to not only ruggedize the LCD, but to also enhance the mechanical, optical and EMI properties of the finished unit

Chassis Plans optically bonds 2 layers of coated 1.1 mm soda-lime float glass to the front of the LCD panel. The first layer is coated with an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coating with a surface resistivity of <13.5 ohms/sq. See

Figure 2 for attenuation values.

Figure 2 – EMI Shielding Effectiveness of ITO Coating

There is a Copper conductive buss bar that wraps around the edge of the glass to facilitate conduction from the

ITO coating to the front surface of the laminated structure to make a complete electrical shield around the face of the LCD. See Figure 3 for details.

Figure 3 – Optical Stack on LCD

The second layer of glass is coated with an Anti-Reflective (AR) coating which matches the index of refraction of air to eliminate surface reflections. These layers of coated glass are bonded together with an index matching optical adhesive to eliminate internal reflections caused by the index of refraction mismatch between the soda lime glass and air. This eliminates over 95% of unwanted glare from the screen. Please see Figure 4 below for more details.

Figure 4 – Comparison of Reflections with and without Optical Bonding

The resulting structure has greatly enhanced optical characteristics in high ambient light conditions. The optical adhesive used is a silicone RTV and offers other benefits mechanically to the LCD as well. The adhesive remains pliable and therefore acts as a shock absorbing medium for the front of the LCD. Together with the additional layers of glass provides a very rugged composite structure. Another benefit is that should breakage actually occur the shards of glass will be retained together to prevent injury to personnel. The adhesive also prevents any condensation from building up in the air gap between the layers of glass which would cause fogging of the display. Finally, the added mass bonded to the front of the LCD display adds a thermal conduction path to help dissipate the heat generated in the backlights themselves.

By eliminating the majority of reflected light, the apparent contrast improves making the display more readable in high bright situations. An alternative to improving the contrast is to increase the back light levels to overpower the reflected light. The downside to this approach is the higher power requirements and higher heat generated by the backlights.

12VDC Input Transient Filter

The CCX family display consoles require nominal +12VDC at 40W for operation. An EMI line filter is provided to limit EMI emissions and to provide a small measure of input filtering.

For operation from unregulated 12VDC (+/-10%) such as in a vehicular or marine environment, front end transient filtering is required to suppress potentially damaging spikes from large inductive loads in the DC circuit

(starters, etc.).

The xxx 12VDC Input Transient Filter provides an input Transient Protection as well as inductive and capacitive filtering to suppress large input transients. A bridge rectifier provides reverse connection protection. A circuit breaker provides for failure protection and allows the power to be disconnected.

2. The keyboard and mouse pointer USB outputs are combined into one USB connector J1. This can be connected to either port of the KVM USB input J9 utilizing the included short USB jumper cable.

3. The KVM does not provide for DVI video though this input to the LCD can be using in addition to the

VGA input. The displayed input is controlled via the LCD controls on the front of the unit.

4. The VGA input (J7) to the LCD should be connected to the VGA output (J12) on the KVM utilizing the included short VGA jumper cable.

5. The connectors for the CPU1-4 (J12-16) KVM outputs appear to be high density VGA connectors.

However, on closer examination as compared to the VGA connector (J12), you’ll see the pin out pattern is mirrored to prevent inadvertent connection to a VGA cable. Proprietary fan-out cables must be used to separate out the VGA, PS/2 and USB signals for connection to the computers.

6. The LCD controller offers remote serial port control through the RS232 Control Port. See Appendix 1 for details on port pin out assignment and commands.

Chassis Plans CCXR-17 Technical Reference Appendix B – Auto Color Gain

Appendix B – Auto Color Gain

The Auto Color Gain function is supported in the ARGB mode only and is designed to calibrate the controller to the incoming video signal. In order to calibrate correctly, the display must be displaying an image containing both black and white data (see illustration below) when the function is used. The internal processor of the video controller chip will then execute a process to adjust the relative values of the RGB signals to achieve the best performance. The parameters of the corrected RGB values are then stored in the controller and are unaffected by the Reset Factory Defaults function.

Image B-1 – Auto Color Gain Example

Warning - If the Auto Color Gain is executed without an appropriate image being displayed, then the process will set incorrect values and the display colors will be distorted. If this occurs, then it can either be corrected by performing the process correctly or if this is not possible then the Reset Color Gain function can be used. This function will reset the stored RGB values to a set of approximate values.

Appendix D – DVI-D versus DVI-I Connectors

Appendix D – DVI-D versus DVI-I

The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video interface standard designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. It was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data to a display. It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A).

The LCD controllers offered with the CCX keyboards offer DVI-D and DVI-I, depending on which controller is selected. This discussion is presented to help clarify the difference between the various flavors of DVI.

Overview

The DVI interface uses a digital protocol in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.

When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical noise and other forms of analog distortion.

Connectors

The DVI connector usually contains pins to pass the DVI-native digital video signals. In the case of dual-link systems, additional pins are provided for the second set of data signals.

As well as digital signals, the DVI connector includes pins providing the same analog signals found on a VGA connector, allowing a VGA monitor to be connected with a simple plug adapter. This feature was included in order to make DVI universal, as it allows either type of monitor (analog or digital) to be operated from the same connector.

The DVI connector on a device is therefore given one of four names, depending on which signals it implements:

DVI-D (digital only)

DVI-I (integrated, digital & analog)

The connector also includes provision for a second data link for high resolution displays, though many devices do not implement this. In those that do, the connector is sometimes referred to as DVI-DL (dual link).

The long flat pin on a DVI-I connector is wider than the same pin on a DVI-D connector, so it is not possible to connect a male DVI-I to a female DVI-D by removing the 4 analog pins. It is possible, however, to connect a male DVI-D cable to a female DVI-I connector.

Many flat panel LCD monitors have only the DVI-D connection so that a DVI-D male to DVI-D male cable will suffice when connecting the monitor to a computer's DVI-I female connector.

Essentially, DVI-D is the same as DVI-I with DVI-D missing the analog portion of the signals. A DVI-D connector and monitor can connect to a DVI-I output and function. A DVI-I monitor can connect to a DVI-D output with the caveat that no analog video will be available.
