The FingerWorks Field Version is a one-piece unit made up of a 15 or 17 inch LCD/Touchscreen attached to a “lunchbox” style PC. The Field Unit is designed for use in the announce booth or at a remote location.
The one-piece configuration makes the Field Unit ideal for Sports broadcasts and easy shipping from location to location. Video lines need to be run from the TV mobile or control room to the FingerWorks Unit.
The Field Version can be configured for dual LCD/Touchscreen operation. Both can function alternately but not simultaneously.
The Field Version is available in dual SD-SDI and HD. There are restrictions on the distance SDI signals will travel over standard video cables.
The FingerWorks Studio Version is designed for studio use or permanent installation in a TV Mobile. It consists of a rack mount PC and an outboard 17, 19 or 21 inch LCD/Touchscreen. The LCD can be rack mount or desktop. The desktop version comes with a heavy duty adjustable stand.
The LCD/Touchscreen can be connected to the PC using analogue cables for VGA/DVI and COM/USB and is limited to a length of approximately 40 feet or less. The LCD/Touchscreen can also be connected to the PC using a KVM extender. These extenders can be either CAT5 or Fiber. The KVM extender will also need COM or USB capability for the touchscreen. In this configuration the LCD/Touchscreen can be up to 1,000 feet away from the PC on CAT5 or up to 30,000 feet using a Fiber KVM extender.
The Studio Version is available in dual SD-SDI / HD. The PC is very close to the main distribution area so the length of cable runs is not an issue.
The Studio Version allows two LCD/Touchscreens to be connected to one system. Both will function alternately but not simultaneously.
