KME introduces a revolutionary new product to solve worldwide Legacy Display problems - the Legacy Pixel Transformer.

This deceptively simple metal box contains the result of years of experience in processing non-standard RGB signals for display on modern monitors.

Connect any signal, of any pixel resolution and see it transformed into a crisp, stable image on a modern TFT monitor from a local supplier.

Legacy systems in process control, factory automation, transportation, medical and machine tool applications rely on old generation monitors to display their non-standard signal formats.

These can be strange (as judged now by VESA standards) in their choice of horizontal and vertical pixels.

None resemble the modern XGA, SXGA etc pixel formats with which we are familiar today.

KME is already solving legacy problems with the UN Series of TFT Industrial Grade monitors.

These have been developed in the UK to accept non-standard signals and display them effectively on the TFT panel.

The sight of a process control application on the original 20 inch CRT monitor that has dimmed with age, appearing full screen, full colour, on a 19.0 inch TFT monitor, has excited many industries.

Since the development of the UN series monitors, marketing feedback has identified a significant market segment that is locked into a Legacy system but do not require an Industrial-grade monitor.

The Legacy Pixel Transformer (LPT) has been created to allow connection to a locally purchased TFT monitor of any PC-style.

The LPT takes in the non-standard signals and outputs a modern DVI-D format suitable for the monitor.

Set up is simple as the LPT produces an On Screen Display on the new monitor.

Many non-standard signals are pre-programmed and new variants, once set up, are stored for instant recall when the new signal is encountered again.

Both the UN series of monitors and the LPT include the XP5 Signal Processing/Pixel Scaling board developed by KME engineers.

The LPT has 5 x BNC connectors for 3, 4 or 5-wire analogue signals and a 15DSUB connector for more modern analogue signals.

Interlaced signals and TTL level video, pose no difficulties.

Shipping companies will be the only ones to complain about the introduction of the Legacy Pixel Transformer.

Why ship complete monitors around the world when LPT box volumes are so small and local support is available for the chosen TFT monitor? KME LCD monitors are manufactured at their facility at Rochester, Kent.
