Embedded PC is key part of high-contrast projector range
Equipment and software Embedded PC is key part of high-contrast projector range
Wordsworth Technology, a specialist value-added distributor of computer boards and industrial computer systems, has designed and delivered a complete single-board computer and bespoke operating system to SEOS Limited for its Zorro range of high- contrast projectors.
The Mini-ITX board that Wordsworth has supplied will form an essential part of the 14 projectors used in a high-profile planetarium upgrade in the USA. The board is also destined for use on equipment used in commercial and military flight simulation applications, including missions rehearsed using night-vision enhancement devices.

The embedded board offered by Wordsworth hosted an Intel Pentium Processor with DDRII memory. Using Wordsworth's expertise in hardware and software development, Windows XP Embedded was utilised to create a bespoke operating system that was installed on a Micro Disk Module to offer flexibility and ruggedness (Figure 1).
