Aten Technology has announced a new series of ultra-short depth dual rail widescreen LCD consoles, launching the CL3800.
The unit is suited to mobile live streaming in broadcast or control rooms with limited space. It supports three video input interfaces – HDMI, DVI, and VGA – and features an 18.5-in LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor with an integrated keyboard and touchpad. It fits 19-in equipment cabinets and is suitable for shallow racks down to 45cm depth.
It has a dual rail design with top and bottom clearance in a 1U high system rack that allows LCD monitor and keyboard/touchpad modules to operate independently. The modules can slide back to “hideaway” when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back, flush against the rack, allowing 24/7 monitoring of computer activity.
Users can choose to manage the computer from an external console. The CL3800 features a port for an external USB mouse on the unit’s front panel, while ports for the second KVM console (USB keyboard/mouse and HDMI, DVI, or VGA monitor) are provided on the rear panel. The 18.5-in full HD widescreen LCD monitor ensures 16:9 video ratio.
