It will allow real time IP video images of the platform edge (the \"mind the gap\" area) to be transmitted to, and displayed, on in-cab screens for driver awareness.\n \n \n \n \n \n Steatite will be providing custom-designed computers for use on the trains and within the wider station-based system. Carrier boards with specialist display outputs are being designed by Steatite's Imaging business, Active Silicon, to be utilised at the heart of the onboard system. The finished systems will be tested to various rail-standards using Steatite's in-house EMC testing chamber and environmental test facility, allowing de-risking of the project prior to carrying out official certification at an independent test house.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Matthew Richards, Managing Director of the Systems division, said:\n \n \n \n \"We are very excited to be involved in this project. By drawing on Steatite and Active Silicon's technical prowess, this is a superb example of our ability to utilise multiple skill sets within the business to overcome complex challenges, and to design, test and implement a world-class solution.\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n For further information please contact:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Solid State plc\n \n \n \n Gary Marsh - Chief Executive\n \n \n Peter James - Group Finance Director\n \n \n \n \n Via Walbrook\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Walbrook PR\n \n (Financial PR) \n \n \n Tom Cooper / Nick Rome \n \n \n \n \n 020 7933 8780\n \n \n 0797 122 1972\n \n \n \n \n [email protected]\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n  ...
