An industrial panel PC typically connects to a monitor using one of the standard video interfaces available. The specific connection method may depend on the type of touchscreen panel PC and the available ports on both the panel PC and the monitor. Here are some common connection options:
VGA (Video Graphics Array): VGA is an analog video interface that uses a 15-pin D-sub connector. It was commonly used in the past, but its popularity has decreased with the emergence of digital interfaces. However, some older industrial panel PCs and monitors may still have VGA ports.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): DVI is a digital video interface that supports both analog and digital signals. It comes in different variations: DVI-A (analog only), DVI-D (digital only), and DVI-I (integrated analog and digital). Industrial panel PCs and monitors with DVI ports can be connected using the appropriate DVI cable.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): HDMI is a widely used digital video and audio interface that provides high-quality transmission. Most modern industrial panel PCs and monitors feature HDMI ports. To connect the panel PC to the monitor, an HDMI cable is typically used.
DisplayPort: DisplayPort is another digital video interface that supports high-resolution displays and can transmit audio signals as well. It has become increasingly popular, especially in newer industrial panel PCs and monitors. If both the panel PC and monitor have DisplayPort ports, you can connect them using a DisplayPort cable.
Other interfaces: Depending on the specific panel PC and monitor, there may be additional video interfaces available, such as Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, or USB Type-C with DisplayPort support. These interfaces provide similar functionality to the aforementioned options and can be used if compatible ports are available on both devices.
It's important to ensure that the panel PC and monitor have compatible video ports to establish a connection. If they don't have matching ports, you may need to use an adapter or converter to bridge the gap between the different interface types.
