ICS Advent Unveils The RMX Family of Rack Mount Monitors

High-Performance Display Monitors Feature Unparalleled Resolution & Global Applications

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 20, 2001 - ICS Advent, the premier provider of business-critical applied computing solutions, today launched the RMX family of rack mount monitors. These rack mount monitors are available in four models: RMX-17CRT, RMX-17CRT/TS, RMX-19CRT and RMX-19CRT/TS.

The RMX-17CRT and RMX-17CRT/TS (with Capacitive Touchscreen) are 17-inch rack mount monitors with 0.27mm dot pitch display. The RMX-19CRT and RMX-19CRT/TS (with Capacitive Touchscreen) are 19-inch rack mount monitors with 0.26mm dot pitch display for precise images. The monitors have flicker-free resolution for easy viewing and the anti-glare coated screen refracts unwanted light. The flat square-shaped, high contrast screen ensures bright, bold colors. On-screen controls permit easy adjustment of image quality, size, position and geometry.

Though the high-performance, larger-sized display monitors feature advanced specifications similar to most current desktop monitors, they can be easily integrated into a rack-mount configuration. The RMX family of monitors also complements ICS Advent´s new Omnix" chassis line. The monitors´ ultra-low dot pitch resolution, coupled with flicker-free performance of up to 1600 x 1200, offers customers one of the highest performance displays available on today´s market. For operator input stations, a Capacitive Touchscreen is available as an optional feature. When installed in a sturdy rack mount chassis, the monitors are well protected from industrial hazards. The universal power supply ensures global applicability.

"We are pleased to introduce the RMX family of rack mount monitors," said Kim Babcock, commodities and accessories product manager, ICS Advent. "Its intelligent design makes these monitors a perfect solution for a variety of work applications that require high-performance graphics and easy viewing especially when used for long-term sessions. Additionally, the optional Capacitive Touchscreen makes the RMX series a perfect choice for input stations where using a keyboard is impractical or a waste of precious space. The rack-mount configuration is another smart space-saving feature."
