Volanti Displays Announces OEM Partnership Agreement with HP

Agreement designed to meet the specialized needs of touch-screen display customers

Volanti Displays today announced it has signed an OEM partnership agreement with HP for its high-end CAD workstations to meet the specialized needs of touch-screen display and touch-screen table customers. These will be integrated in Volanti’s innovative Lift & Tilt touch-screen workstation table, which can be used with graphic intensive applications, such as Autodesk’s Revit, SOLIDWORKS, Bluebeam, Procore and other industry software leaders. It can incorporate an Intel® CPU for a powerful workstation experience with NVIDIA Quadro graphics and SSD (up to 1TB).

The ample workspace of the Lift & Tilt display and the electrically adjustable height and tilt angle enable group interactivity, ideal for team review of collaborative or CAD and data driven applications. The ability to adjust both tilt and height allows for both the most ergonomic position as well as moving from personal use through to full presentation use. Application examples include architecture, engineering, construction, and surveying or geology for government and industry.

Utilizing a completely flat Ultra-HD 4K (3840 x 2160) screen, the Lift & Tilt touch-screen workstation is a stylish addition to Volanti’s family of touchscreen displays that are designed and assembled in its California facilities. The base has robust drive mechanics to provide both display lift and tilt to move from completely horizontal to vertical. The unit features the highly responsive clear InGlass touch technology, flat ‘no raised bezel’ surface with toughened edge-to-edge glass that is sealed to protect against minor spills.

The MSC C6B-8S module is based on Intel's 4th generation of Core™ processors which bring a significant gain in computing and graphics performance compared to their predecessors. Various Core-i3, i5, i7 and Celeron processors are supported by this design. Next to an extensive set of interfaces and features, the MSC C6B-8S offers turbo boost capabilities for CPU and graphics controller, accelerated video encoding/decoding and hardware-based security compliant to the requirements of TCG (Trusted Computing Group). The Type 6 pin-out allows direct access to the latest digital display interfaces like DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI. USB 3.0 interfaces support the fasted peripheral devices currently available.

Bluetooth Low Energy (LE, or BLE, or Smart) is all about sending and receiving data just like any other Bluetooth device, but doing so using much less power. It's ideally suited for M2M applications where a device wakes up, transmits or receives data, then goes back to sleep. The Bluetooth SIG specifies myriad application profiles from healthcare ("Blood Pressure Profile") to Sports and Fitness.
At the recent DESIGN West 2013 conference, editor-in-chief Chris A. Ciufo got the lowdown on Laird's new BL600 Bluetooth LE Smart modules.

Editor Chris Ciufo spent time with Microchip software manager Joe Drzewiecki at the Spring DESIGN West show (formerly known as ESC). Microchip launched their new MPLAB X compiler strategy that now goes across all Microchip MCUs. It also adds a new license strategy, optimizations that compile 35 percent faster on 32-bit devices (or save 35 percent on code size). There's also a "totally free" version of the MPLAB X compiler.
