Distec extends its Artista TFT controller family with Artista-IoT. This new TFT controller is a BaseBoard with a socket for the latest generation of the Raspberry PI Compute Module (CM3).
Artista-IoT is suitable for Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, can be easily integrated into existing Windows and Linux environments and can be adapted to suit individual needs. Long-term availability is at least six years.
The new controller allows the direct connection of almost all common TFT types without additional hardware. The board allows special functions such as DICOM pre-set, gamma correction and color calibration. It supports 100Mbit Ethernet and provides a real-time clock. Available interfaces include USB, GPIOs, I²C and UART.
Distec offers a starter set consisting of BaseBoard, CM3, 10.1-inch Super Fine TFT display with PCAP Multi-Touch and all necessary cables.
On the basis of the Artista-IoT, Distec already offers standard solutions for a wide range of applications.
From the second quarter of 2017, Distec will provide the Artista-IoT series, starter kits, VideoPoster-IV and Raspbian as a basis for customer-specific software developments such as mediaplayers. From the third quarter of 2017, the WebPoster and integration into the POS-Line series will be added.
