September 20, 2007 - CONTEC, a leading manufacturer of computer peripheral equipment, industrial computers and network devices, today announced the release of its Display Graphics Distribution Unit "FlexNetViewer" featuring VGA signal extension and display graphic distribution.

In order to view a computer screen image remotely or with multiple monitors, VGA distribution or signal extension devices are commonly used. Since these extension signals are analog, there are problems including image quality deterioration caused by inferior signals and restrictions on cable length and number of monitors that can be viewed.

With CONTEC's FlexNetViewer, users can easily distribute VGA images [1-to-1 or 1-to-multi] with no quality deterioration even when viewed over a long distance. FlexNetViewer converts VGA output to a LAN packet and sends the digital signals via Ethernet. Both transmitter and receiver include serial I/O for remote use of multiple RS-232C-compliant touch panel monitors. Users can also send VGA signals to multiple receivers (1-to-1) and receive them from multiple transmitters (N-to1) by installing the application utilities on to their computer.

CONTEC's FlexNetViewer is ideal for a variety of applications, including multiple monitor displays in an adjacent lecture hall, informational kiosks in public areas, real-time digital billboards or in a manufacturing facility to view the same screen outside and inside of a clean room. CONTEC anticipates sales of 5,000 units in the first year including both transmitter and receiver.

FlexNetViewer also has four non-isolated LVTT level inputs and four non-isolated LVTT level outputs for remote control of digital devices. By connecting them to the transmitter or receiver this provides remote access to on/off switches or lights.

Optional VESA standard-compliant adapters (75mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm) are available.
Software utilities, including those for transmission of screen images, serial I/O and digital I/O are available as a free download from CONTEC Websites.
