“Applied Data Systems (ADS), a leading developer of
application-ready RISC-based embedded systems, has introduced a new
product, the Tandem*, a two-headed single board computer system
designed for multi-user applications.”
“The new system features two LCD’s working off one 32-bit
StrongARM processor, facilitating two independent applications
working simultaneously. Because it has two displays running with
one processor, the Tandem reduces manufacturing and licensing costs
in half, making it ideal for retail, point-of-sale terminals or
kiosks.“
“The Tandem has two times the features of most “standard” single
board computer systems. Two MediaQ MQ200 Graphics Controllers drive
two (up to 24 bit color) XGA sized displays, with two 2MB SDRAM
frame buffers. Dual LVDS drivers for LCD data transmission in the
unit now extend the distance the displays can be away from the
computer, allowing a distance of over 20 feet from the panel to the
receivers. The Tandem can run two separate speakers to be
coordinated with each display.”
