WIDE VARIETY OF COMPETITION OR DEPENDENCY OF
MONOSTRUCTURES & DIRECT IMPORTS FROM Dear Business Partner: In these days the annual reports 2009 are
going to be released. As expected most of the electronic component
distributors and –specialists lost money. In 2010 the price levels seem
to stay too low to consider a fair financial return on investment and
necessary investments in future products. Low margins caused by global
purchasing markets in combination with incalculable currency fluctuations and
risks in aging stock via the high speed of innovation is in summary a high
risk. Of course a lot of mistakes and
miss-management have been done in this component branch: Overspends in
salaries based on the internet hypes of the late 1990s and early 2000s, too
many direct competitors even in niche markets and finally bad orders with too
low margins were accepted which were only based on "hope". You should please ask yourself: could your
short-run success in price-optimization, close or maybe even below the
“pain-barrier” of your suppliers, become a boomerang? Financially
groggy suppliers lost there strength to negotiate sufficient margins. But
isn’t for all of us a wide variety of competition the basis for the
American industrial future? What are the alternatives if the Guaranteeing the future for your business via
a best-price-strategy will not be possible. Somewhere in the global world
there will always be someone with a better price. Only innovation protects
our jobs and competitiveness. This would not be possible without strong local
partners. Please think about that when placing your next order. Also, our annual report for 2009 is almost
finished. Despite further high investments on the level of the previous years
and deductions/allowances based on prudence principal we closed an acceptable
2009. The first quarter 2010 proves the positive tendency. So the outlook on
2010 is positive. You are the center of our daily acting. For
you we try everyday to become a little bit better! Yours, Bernhard Staller Managing Partner & Founder of Data Display
Group Managing Director of Distec GmbH |

|

|
|
|
During the last
few months the lead times for TFT-panels in any size as well as for
resistive-analog touch-screens have increased dramatically. The fast increase
of order entry, fabs with reduced manpower & capacities and shortages in
supply of basic material are causing this situation. Please calculate
at least 12-14 weeks for new orders or release orders. An improvement of this
situation is not expected for the next 2 quarters. |

New
WiFi-Module for Network-Players
|
|||||
|
For our network player ArtistaNET and ArtistaMEDIA we are now introducing a new and cost efficient WiFi-Router. This new router will replace
the elder - and today underperforming ArtistaWLAN
board; for the operation only +12V and the LAN-connection between
router and Artista has to be connected. The standards IEEE 802.11 b, IEE 802.11g Standard and IEEE 802.11n draft
are supported. Based on the latest specification/definition a transmission rate up to 150Mbps is possible. An operating distance of up to 50 m indoor and up to
250 m outdoor are possible. The outline dimensions of the enclosure are very tiny (76mm x
60.5mm x 23mm). Therefore designs are also possible in applications with
limited space. Alternatively we can supply the router without the enclosure. For more information
please contact us.

Transparent Picture in Picture (PiP) at
Prisma III and PrismaMEDIA II
|
|||||
|
|
|
Our HDMI(HDCP)/VGA/DVI/Video
industrial converter Prisma
III and our multimedia-board PrismaMEDIA II are supporting a new function called "transparent Picture in Picture" (PiP)
besides many new other functionalities. Via two defined inputs the feeding
of the main-screen as well as the overlay-screen is possible.
The transparency
of the overlay can be defined between 0% and 100% and the main-screen can be
seen through the overlay depending on the level of transparency (see pictures
below). Besides that the size of the PiP (up to 7/8) as well as the position
within the display can be defined. Any adjustment can be made via the
comprehensive OSD-menu. In addition to
PiP there also is a PaP function (Picture
by Picture). Please contact us when having questions on
your project.

Customer-Project:
Network-Mediaplayer for shopping mall
|
|||||
|
For a project in
a shopping mall in Istanbul/Turkey
( www.akmerkez.com.tr ) the requirement was to install more than
one hundred 15“ terminals all across the mall with
centralized content management via the Marketing office. The terminals were
required to be connected via cable. As shown in the
pictures, the terminals are spread all over the mall and are integrated into
the posts. The terminals are used for infotainment, showing static content, slide shows or videos.
The content is uploaded via the so-called "pull"-technology,
meaning every terminal is "pulling" the content from a defined
ftp-server-address at a defined time. The option
"sound" is currently not used. Our cost
efficient network player ArtistaMEDIA was the
perfect solution! Due to the low energy consumption of only 4W (which really is
Green-IT) the integration was possible without additional active cooling. No
fan, no energy, no service cost. As a future
option RSS-Newsfeeds for newsworthy
info is planned. The latest news will be supplied by news-agencies. The selected
display is the G150X1 produced by ChiMei-Innolux, which attracts the
visitors attention with its very high optical characteristics and a high
brightness of 450 cd/m2. We would like to help realizing your project too! Please
contact
us! |
