New Atlona 7

Atlona Technologies has officially announced the product every installer and integrator has been waiting for with the AT-DIS7-PROHD. The DIS7-PROHD is a 7 inch HD Testing Monitor designed to test cabling and component installations, where displays are remote or not yet present. Unlike many other monitors available, the DIS7-PROHD does not limit its potential by segregating its testing uses to one specific format. While previous units, similar to it, have only HDMI or DVI to test recent additions to existing installation projects, Atlona has realized that there are many more applications integrators and installers face other than digital formats. As a result, the DIS7-PROHD can test all digital formats such as DVI and HDMI, as well as VGA, Component, and RGB-HV. more
