The ARD24 Rugged Display 24″ combines large-format visual performance with a slim-bezel, fully sealed design. Making it perfect for command and control consoles, shipboard bridges, tactical vehicles, and industrial control rooms.
Key Features
Large 24″ Full HD display – Available in 1920×1080 or 1920×1200 resolution. Ideal for high-density tactical mapping, video feeds, and command interfaces.
High brightness & contrast – Standard 300+ nits brightness with optional 750+ nits high-brightness mode. In addition, >1400:1 contrast for excellent readability in challenging lighting conditions.
Sealed, rugged construction – Fully enclosed IP66-rated aluminium housing. Plus fanless convection cooling to protect against dust, salt fog, moisture, and sand.
Flexible power & I/O – Accepts 18–36 VDC or 110/220 VAC (44–440 Hz) and supports analog RGB, DVI, HDMI, HD-SDI, S-Video, and composite video inputs, with RS-232/USB control options.
Customisable controls & connectors – Includes customer-definable bezel buttons, MIL circular or D-sub connectors, and configurable I/O layouts to match specific platform needs.
Optional rugged touch screen – Optically bonded analog resistive multi-touch option allows operation with gloves or in wet conditions.
Environmental resilience – Operates in –10 °C to +55 °C (optional –40 °C), withstands 40,000 ft operating altitude and 50,000 ft non-operating, and meets MIL-STD-810 shock and vibration standards.
Key Benefits
Reliable in harsh environments – To begin with, the ARD24 is engineered to survive temperature extremes, vibration, shock, high altitudes, and moisture. Therefore, ensuring dependable operation in mission-critical scenarios.
Exceptional clarity for mission data – Moreover, its Full HD resolution and optional high-brightness mode provide sharp detail and strong contrast. Supporting precise decision-making.
Flexible integration – In addition, the slim-bezel form factor, broad video input support, and customisable connectors. Simplify integration into naval consoles, vehicle dashboards, and command centres.
Local service and support – Finally, Metromatics provides Australia & NZ-based engineering, integration advice, and responsive after-sales service. Therefore, ensuring smooth deployment and long-term reliability.
