CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.--(Business Wire)--Reaffirming the company's position as a leader in the development
of robust display solutions for deployment in difficult environments,
Computer Dynamics, a GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms company, today
announced the SeaBrite(TM) family of flat panel monitors.

   Resistant to shock and vibration, and designed to fulfill the
demanding requirements of the marine industry for reliability with
their wide operating temperature range and rugged, anti-corrosion
mechanical design to provide optimum operability, SeaBrite monitors
are available in a remarkably wide range of nine screen sizes from 8.4
inch through 23.1 inch. Typical applications include radar / ARPA
systems, navigation / ECDIS systems, automatic identification systems
(AIS), monitoring / surveillance systems, and yacht / ship automation.

   As well as providing multiple screen sizes, the SeaBrite family
offers a wide voltage range for power input and can accept RGB,
composite video, s-video and DVI signals, as well as deliver PIP,
ensuring that almost any marine display requirement can be met. If
this flexibility is not enough, custom designs of SeaBrite monitors
can be created. Optimum viewability of the transflective display in a
wide range of ambient lighting conditions is enhanced through the
provision of an anti-reflective protective glass and backlight dimming
control, while a touch screen interface is provided for ease of
operation.

   "We believe that the range of screen sizes we offer, together with
functionality that is provided as standard - such as a composite
signal input - marks the SeaBrite family out as leading the industry,"
said Adrian Bernhard, General Manager, Commercial Products and Systems
at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. "It builds on our expertise in
displays that are readable in high ambient light - such as sunlight -
and extends still further the range of monitor solutions we can offer
for deployment in harsh environments."

   The SeaBrite is sealed to IP65 standards on the front surface. All
SeaBrite monitor designs follow IEC 60945 fourth edition (2002)
Maritime Navigation and Radio-communication Equipment and Systems
requirements and IACS-E10 for international standards.
