Ruige to Introduce TL1730HDA-CO Carry-On Picture Monitor at IBC2014
posted:
"The TL1730HDA-CO is a new-generation slimline picture monitor designed for easy transportation as carry-on flight luggage," Tommy Goodson comments. "This will be particularly appreciated by news and field-production crews for whom setup time is a critical factor. The monitor is supplied complete with a detachable folding sunshade plus a transit case which is resistant to impact, water, dust and high temperatures. Throw in a PHABRIX RX500 and now you have your first ever DIT or DP fully portable workstation, DC powered, with eye pattern and generator for both video and audio. This combination will be demonstrated on the Ruige stand throughout IBC."
Setting up or packing down the TL1730HDA-CO take less than one minute. All controls are positioned at the front of the unit, rotating upwards from the front of the external case at the push of a single button. The cased TL1730HDA-CO has been tested to survive a 1,500 mm drop. The screen is safeguarded against scratches or impact by a removable protector. Total case dimensions are 528 x 355 x 45 mm and the weight is approximately 7.5 kg.
