ECOUNT has launched the CRTtoLCD91, a flatbed controller able to support screens with up to 4K resolution. The solution offers cloud connectivity and an RFID reader, according to a press release.
ECOUNT will initially provide the solution with an HF RFID reader with NFC support with plans to add an UHF RFID reader with a 10-meter range as an option later this year. Other features include:
"Our new CRTtoLCD-91 flatpanel controllers will significantly change the way how OEMs design and deploy and how users operate their monitors, displays and control panels, as RFID and cloud connectivity open up whole new worlds of possibilities," Dirk Finstel, managing partner and CTO of eCOUNT embedded, said in the release. "Today, the control of devices, machines and systems are carried out by touch displays and their peripherals. When it is possible to monitor the usage or to manage the authorization processes and user-dependent configurations of these touch displays centrally, even payment systems for pay-per-use applications can be connected."
