A new range of VFD
Display Kits is now available for our DSA-based
modules (GyrFalcon 8, GyrFalcon 6 and CD-Pro2LF)
whatever the loading system
you have selected
(plastic
loader, top loading, metal loaders, slot-in
mechanism).
Indeed, the GF VFD15,
GF VFD14, GF VFD11
and
GF VFD6 Kits will considerably
reduce your development budget,
as well as the
time-to-market period for the introduction of
your players. These kits include all key components
of the display section: display
device,
display driver, filament driver, user
microcontroller and infra-red receiver.

to the VFD Display Kits
The
user
control firmware has been developed by our team of
software engineers and includes many innovative
features :
 |
Modular
User Software : The
same software is used whatever the display kit
and loading system you have selected |
 |
Menus
: Many
options can be accessed through the
menus |
 |
Keyboard
Configuration : This
option let
you assign the function of your choice to any
key of your front panel |
 |
PWM
Tray Speed : 4
levels of PWM tray speed are available to
customize the open/close cycle of your players |
 |
VFD
Color Filters : You can select the
colour of your choice for your display thanks
to these filters |
 |
Dimming
: 6
dimming steps are available for the
display brightness |
Modular User Software
:
The
same user software
(supplied
free
of
charge
within
our
kits)
can
be used
whatever the loading system and the Display Kits
you
have selected.

Menus
:
First, the setup
menu enables final-users to access all settings
of
the user control interface :
up-sampling,
analog output, CD text,
etc ...
On
the other hand, the set-up
factory menu is dedicated to manufacturers in
order to
customize
the user interface according to their design :
tray speed, keyboad mapping, flags, etc ...
Keyboard Configuration :
The
User
Firmware provides great flexibility for keyboard
configuration. As you can see below, it is indeed
possible to attribute any command/function to any
key of the front panel: it means that you can easily
re-map your keypad according to the final design of
your audio players.

PWM Tray Speed :
Combined with a front
loading module, the new user software gives the
possibility to adjust the speed of the tray
movement. Indeed, a PWM control of the tray,
including up to 4 different speed levels, has
been implemented to customize the open/close cycle
of your players.
PWM, or Pulse Width Modulation, refers to the method
of applying a square wave signal to a tray that will
vary its speed by changing the signal duty cycle, as
described by the diagram below:

VFD
Color Filters :
You
can select the colour of your choice to display
information thanks to these filters
which can be applied to any of our VFDs
:
Dimming
:
A dimming
option,
providing 6 levels of
brightness,
has been implemented in order to increase/decrease
the luminosity of your display.
