As a key player in the payment industry, ID TECH is expanding its expertise into digital signage. ID TECH’s first product for this industry is a low cost 21.5” outdoor display with a 1920×1080 resolution. The unit’s infrared touch screen allows for operation by virtually any type of physical touch, whether it is a finger, stylus, or even a gloved hand. With an array of different connectivity options such as WiFi, LAN, USB, RS232, and Bluetooth, the ID TECH digital display is an ideal solution for a variety of applications and environments. It is also equipped with a built-in webcam for customer interaction and detection.

This product seems designed to withstand just about any weather conditions.

The ID TECH digital display is a highly durable unit built to withstand harsh outdoor environments. It has been designed to operate under direct sunlight in temperatures as high as 140° F, and its built-in heater allows functionality in temperatures as low as -40° F. For extended protection against harsh weather, the exposed front bezel has an IP 65 rating to seal out dust and water. The digital display has an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare, and a protective film which defends against damaging infrared and UV rays. The ID TECH digital display’s automatic brightness control helps keep the screen visible in bight sunlight, as well as conserves energy at night.

says Eric Lecesne, COO and vice-president of products at ID TECH. “Our first digital display is another high quality and robust product which meets ID TECH’s industry leading standard of developing and manufacturing dependable and feature-rich products.”
