50+ Years of Technical Expertise

EIZO has been an industry leader in the innovation and development of quality monitors for ATC since 2005. Backed by over 50 years of technical expertise in visual display solutions, the Raptor series of tower monitors are built to meet the diverse requirements of any ATC environment.

Make the Switch to a Smarter Monitor

Intelligent Display Platform

The monitor is equipped with EIZO's Intelligent Display Platform (IDP) developed specifically for ATC. The IDP enables simultaneous display of video signals from up to four independent sources. Traditional Picture-in-Picture (PinP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbyP) functions are limited to a certain number of predefined layouts, providing a relatively inflexible display environment. With IDP, users have complete freedom to place each window anywhere on the screen, as well as scale and assign layer order priority.

Display up to four video sources simultaneously.

Freely arrange each source window anywhere on the screen.

Integrated Switching

The monitor offers EIZO's SwitchLink internal switching management technology as an option. SwitchLink enables seamless switching of keyboard, mouse, and dynamic touch input without the need for an external KVM switch. Up to four video signal feeds can be connected to the monitor, with the option to connect an additional two auxiliary monitors, for an up to six-workstation configuration operated by a single keyboard and mouse.

SwitchLink Mouse

Simply moving the mouse cursor across each window will instantaneously and automatically switch workstation inputs. The response time when switching mouse input to another workstation is approximately 0 ms for completely smooth operation.

SwitchLink Keyboard

To toggle between workstations, EIZO also implements keyboard hotkey switching with SwitchLink. By activating a predefined hotkey, USB control of the keyboard and mouse will switch to another workstation.

SwitchLink Dynamic Touch

EIZO's monitors are the first in the world to feature integrated dynamic touch switching. With EIZO's IDP enabling up to four workstations to be displayed simultaneously on the monitor, SwitchLink allows each window to have its own independent touch connection with automatic switching built in. The user simply needs to touch the screen and the monitor will sense the interaction and automatically switch to the target input.

Streamline Installation and Maintenance

With SwitchLink, video sources connect to the monitor directly, eliminating the need for a KVM switch.

Traditional configuration using a KVM switch.   SwitchLink eliminates the need for a KVM switch.

Reduce Cabling and Cable Management SwitchLink is built directly into the monitor, eliminating the need for the KVM switch and additional cables for a streamlined installation.   Reduce Power Consumption and Connection Requirements Since SwitchLink is built into the monitor, it does not require any additional power connections, reducing power requirements of the system.   Avoid Compatibility Issues SwitchLink removes some of the risk for compatibility or driver issues caused by traditional KVM switches. The monitor and built-in switching component are developed by the same engineering team at EIZO to ensure smooth handshaking between internal components and optimum performance throughout the lifetime of the monitor.

Last Frame Display   NEW

In mission-critical ATC where every second counts, air traffic control officers (ATCO) need to be aware if there is any disruption to the image on screen. EIZO's unique Last Frame Display function detects if the video signal is disrupted and automatically displays the last available frame captured from the visual system accompanied by a text overlay to inform the ATCO of the status. This ensures the ATCO is immediately made aware of the disruption so appropriate action can be taken, such as following emergency protocols or accessing a backup system, while providing the last available visual information to refer to until the issue is addressed.

Custom Naming of Video Signal Inputs   NEW

Air traffic management systems are comprised of numerous independent systems, each of which are displayed on the controller's screen via dedicated video signals. The monitor allows end users to assign a custom name to each of the monitor's video signal inputs. This is useful if an input signal is disrupted due to a system or other error, so IT personnel can determine immediately which system was affected.
