Custom Displays Deliver 4K HD Image Quality

By Daniel Beris
Posted on 17 Nov 2016
A new series of custom monitors deliver 4KX2K resolution (3,840 × 2,160 pixels), four times that of full high definition (HD).

The Canvys (LaFox, IL, USA) 4K2K custom display series deliver sharp, precise, detailed images with enhanced depth and color representation. More...
In addition to displaying high-quality HD images, the monitors are also capable of delivering multi-modality; depending on the screen size and inputs, up to eight windows from eight different sources can be displayed on one screen at the same time. In addition, only one calibration and gamma setting are needed when utilizing a single screen for multiple images.

Picture-in-picture (PIP) functionality is used to compare two images side-by-side on a single screen in 2KX2K resolution without losing image quality, allowing users to view fine image details, a feature that is especially useful in applications such as minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy. Another innovative feature offered is optional projected capacitive touch (PCap), which allows the monitor to be operated by 10 fingers or latex gloves.

With the 4K2K series, Canvys also deliver a range of custom options and services, including needs assessment, custom engineering, and prototyping; touch and protective shield integration; various housing designs, including open frame, panel, chassis, or rack mount; rugged to slim and light weight designs; a wide range of controller solutions with inputs in many combinations; and single board controller and PC integration. The monitors are available in seven screen sizes: 23.8, 27, 31.5, 55, 58, 65, and 84 inches.

4K resolution refers to a horizontal resolution of 4,096 pixels. The use of width to characterize the overall resolution marks a switch from previous video standards such as 480i and 1080p, which categorize media according to its vertical dimension. Using that same convention, 4K would be named 2160p. As 4K is becoming standard, manufacturers are working on the next step, 8K, which forms an image dimension of 7,680×4,320 pixels.

The screen shows calcium being released inside a cell after nanoparticles taken up by the cell are exposed to blue light. Calcium plays an important role in cellular signaling, and the experiment helps the researchers understand how the nanoparticles can translate light into biological activity.
