Simply replace analog displays with LCD – using scaler cards from eCOUNT embedded

With the solutions from the Munich specialist in flat display and embedded computing, existing devices and systems can be easily and cost-effectively brought up to the latest standard of image display – and used for longer.

LCD displays are today’s standard. Yet in many devices and systems, old technology with analog connections is still installed even today – ranging from medical technology to military systems, traffic technology, train displays, ticket machines, and advertising displays. This is because these systems often have a considerable service life. And it makes sense to use old hardware for as long as possible when it still meets all requirements.

Simply replace the display instead of the entire device

However, old analog monitors, as they are still often in use, not only consume significantly more power than modern LCD displays. They also generate more heat, add more weight, are less suitable for the often harsh outdoor conditions, their resolution is often lower, and repairs are becoming increasingly difficult, simply because panels are no longer manufactured with analog interfaces for the industrial sector. Fortunately, eCOUNT embedded GmbH from Munich offers a simple and cost-effective Made in Germany solution with the CRTtoLCD-63 scaler card to easily replace old VGA displays with LCD displays: The controller converts the CRT-specific analog image signal from existing technology into a digital image for LCD screens. This allows outdated technologies to be simply replaced with modern LCD displays without having to make major interventions or modifications to existing technology.

Optimized for HDMI: the CRTtoLCD-53 scaler card

“In addition to the CRTtoLCD-63 scaler card, which is already available, another version is about to be released: the CRTtoLCD-53 scaler card. In terms of technical features, it is very similar to the CRTtoLCD-63, but in addition to the analog VGA input and DisplayPort, it also has two HDMI connections. It is expected to be available from summer 2025.
