Intersystems announces support for 4K Ultra High Definition (4K-UHD) displays

Intersystems has successfully tested the deployment of Flight Information Display System (FIDS) pages to a 4K-UHD display extending their already comprehensive support for various display technologies used in conjunction with FIDS systems around the world. 

The test was conducted with Intersystems newly released GMC8 digital display controller (DDC) and a commercially available 4K-UHD display. 

"Providing support for 4K-UHD is more than product innovation for us, it's about bridging the gap between what's possible today and what the future holds - really, it's exciting stuff. Rapid Suite has always been able to support extreme resolutions, way beyond 4K-UHD, but now we have the other half of the puzzle, the hardware to display it." commented Bruce Allen, CEO of Intersystems. 

Richard Allen, Services Manager - Asia Pacific commented, "we were thrilled at how well RapidFIDS and the new GMC8 coped with the increase in resolution."

"We were expecting a much higher load increase and a resulting decrease in system performance, but we didn't see it at all."

"We've seen support for 4K-UHD displays creeping into display specification documents for several months now as a 'nice to have' item. We can now say quite confidently to the aviation industry, Intersystems product suite is 4K-UHD ready for when suitable commercial displays are available in the market."
