CONRAC GmbH specialises on the development and manufacture of high-end displays and display systems for various applications.

CONRAC flat screen displays with integrated Graphic Engine Board (GEB) are intelligent terminals. Designed for 24/7 operation, this embedded solution offers an extremely reliable platform in networked applications. For maximum safety, the real time operating systems runs on a compact flash card, avoiding failures, viruses and hackers. Remote monitor control allows monitoring and control of display settings such as stand-by, brightness and contrast, but also information such as temperature, maintenance status, etc.

In hectic railwastations or bus terminals up-to-date information at the right time and place is simply a must. A modern station without an efficient information display system providing high visibility travel information is totally unthinkable. Large screen displays guiding the passengers have become a necessity. Today, also the passengers‘ expectation of travel experience has to be considered. Many stations have already optimised their infrastructure for retail offering a variety of shops jostling for the travellers‘ attention. Static advertising is gradually being substituted by digital large screen displays offering entirely new possibilities. A flexible mixture of sales promotion, video-clips and films is much more of an eye-catcher than posters - infotainment rather than just advertising - a new source of future profit growth for the system operators and a pleasant pastime for the passenger while waiting for their connection.

CONRAC is a leading supplier in the public transport market.

There are many reasons for this.
First there is customisation the transportation market has its own special requirements. Most transportation organisations have their own design and CI regulations which have to be incorporated in the product development. But in spite of everything, also the expense factor has to be considered. CONRAC‘s approach is to reduce the total cost of ownership. During all phases of development the target is a high-quality and durable product with low maintenance costs and incorporating the technology required for future uses. Industrial solutions for 24/7 operation, designed and tested for continuous operation in a demanding environment, guaranteeing reliability, durability, a low failure ratio and thus a reduced cost of ownership. It goes without saying that CONRAC also offers long-term service and support. Integrated controller. CONRAC flat-screen displays with integrated Graphic Engine Board are intelligent terminals. Designed for 24/7 operation, this embedded solution offers an extremely reliable platform in networked applications. For maximum safety, the real time operating system runs on a compact flash card, avoiding failures, viruses and hackers. Remote monitor control allows monitoring and control of display settings such as stand-by, brightness and contrast, but also information such as temperature, maintenance status, etc.

All displays are delivered with client display software including all licenses. Internal video interface. The direct digital interface to the panel ensures superior image performance and efficient display control. Long-term availability. Unlike in the consumer flat-screen business, professional applications require long-term availability of the products. CONRAC guarantees product availability and continuity even years after the first delivery on a form-fit-and-function basis.

Modular design and easy access. In busy railway and subway stations or bus terminals, quick and easy access to the products‘ major components for maintenance purposes is essential to guarantee high availability. All IP55 protected monitors offer a front access feature. Time is money! Ruggedized design. Extended temperature range, climate control and the appropriate IP protection ensure stable operation even in extreme environmental conditions. The robust aluminium housings are fire-retardant and vandal-proof. Laminated safety glass with high efficiency anti-glare treatment, protecting the display from vandalism and ensuring the safety required in public areas. Furthermore, it allows cleaning without damaging the display panel. The antiglare surface guarantees superior legibility from all angles. Protection against tampering: no external controls to avoid unauthorized accidental or deliberate interference.

Landscape and portrait mode applications to suit all individual requirements.

OUTDOOR DISPLAYS.

For public transport applications, where 24/7 operation, utmost reliability and protection against vandalism, environmental effects like dust, moisture as well as extreme variations in temperature are necessary, CONRAC Outdoor Displays are the ideal choice. CONRAC offers a wide range of IP55 protected Outdoor Displays for public transport applications. The product portfolio covers all current screen sizes from small to extra large formats.

Due to the modular design of the products, many different configurations are possible: Outdoor Displays with IP55 or even IP65 housing Chassis-only versions for installation in existing housings etc. OEM versions For indoor use Public Displays with IP20 housing are supplied. The displays might even look the same, but the „inside“ can be completely different: Outdoor Monitors for connection to standard PC systems or
external controllers CONRAC‘s professional Outdoor Displays in „monitor-only“ configuration are equipped with superior electronics offering state-of-the-art connectors, controls and functions. High-quality CONRAC signal processing boards make the most of the picture regardless of the signal source. Both PC and video performance are simply perfect. Outdoor Displays with integrated controller for networked systems CONRAC Outdoor Displays with integrated Graphic Engine Board are intelligent terminals. Designed for 24/7 operation, this embedded solution offers an extremely reliable platform in networked applications.

Remote monitor control allows monitoring and control of display settings such as on/off, stand-by, brightness and contrast, but also information such as temperature, maintenance status, etc. The integrated controller facilitates landscape and portrait mode applications to suit all individual requirements. A direct digital interface to the panel generates superior image performance without jitter, phase or scaling errors. Different controller configurations can be realised: For maximum safety, CONRAC offers their own real time operating system which protects against failures, viruses and hackers. This system runs on a compact flash card. Alternatively, the integrated controller can be configured with Windows, Unix or Linux operating system. If required, all displays are delivered with a client server software including all licenses. For additional controller features there is the possibility to use Add-On Modules such as: WiFi Module for integration in a wireless network Video Rotator Module for real-time rotated video images for screens used in portrait mode TV-Tuner Module providing inputs for RF, S-video and CVBS signals HDTV Module providing support for the latest video formats

Flexible Housing Concept.

Thanks to the modular design, various configurations can be realised: Single-sided and double-sided displays, a different number of integrated displays, additional track indication, integrated clock, etc.Climate Control. Depending on the climatic conditions and the location - installation inside a station or outside - the displays can be equipped with a microprocessor controlled heating and cooling system. Front Access Feature. All outdoor displays are front accessible for easy maintenance.

However, despite all different versions and configurations, when it comes to reliability, connectivity and those criteria important to all equipment used in public areas, they have a lot of features in common.
