Kessler-Ellis Products Marine unveils KEP Marine GB Dual Touch Glass Bridge Display Series

Kessler-Ellis Products (KEP) Marine has unveiled its KEP Marine GB Dual Touch Glass Bridge Display series. These screens allow the user to zoom in, zoom out and skew the displayed image using two fingers, much as one would on a tablet or smartphone. This enhances traditional touch-screen interfaces and provides simplified command processing at the helm.

Offering 2D, 3D top-down and side viewing of navigation data, “The new KEP Marine Dual Touch Display series represents a significant technology advancement in monitor operation and greatly enhances on-the-water navigation,” said Keith Cariani, sales manager at KEP Marine. “With Window 7 OS systems supporting convenient touchscreen capabilities, we took the opportunity to complement our best and brightest display technology by offering the world’s first multi-touch, marine-grade LCDs with unparalleled functionality and quick fingertip control of navigation features.”



Compatible with Windows 7 operating system and designed to enhance the use of navigation software such as Furuno MaxSea and Nobeltec TimeZero Trident, the KEPM GB series consists of the KEPM GB-15 (15-inch), KEPM GB-17 (17-inch), KEPM GB-19 (19-inch) and KEPM GB-22 (22-inch) models. Featuring a colour TFT Active Matrix LCD, the 15-, 17- and 19-inch monitors have a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 and the 22-inch widescreen model has a maximum resolution of 1680x1050. The KEPM GB-15, GB-17, GB-19 and GB-22 have display brightness and contrast ratios of 1500 nits/600:1, 1300 nits/500:1, 1000 nits/800:1 and 1100 nits/1200:1, respectively. The dual touch 15- and 17-inch displays provide a wide viewing angle of 80-degrees from centre horizontally and 75-degrees from centre vertically, while the 19- and 22-inch deliver the widest viewing angle on the market—85-degrees from centre horizontally and vertically. Hard-wearing for the harsh marine environment, the displays are housed in a powder-coated, UV protected, marine-grade aluminium enclosure. KEP Marine Dual Touch Glass Bridge Displays are dust and water resistant to the IP66 standard, and are protected by a 2-year advanced replacement worldwide warranty.
