Thoughts from the Editor

As this year comes to a close VarTech Systems has once again had an outstanding year. For the seventh year in a row VarTech has increased its sales by over 20%. With several new products introduced in 2004 and more planned for 2005 our company will only continue to grow in the coming year. VarTech's commitment to quality customer service keeps our customers coming back. We look forward to a wonderful new year.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your friends and family. Remember all of the things you have to be grateful for.

Until Next Month,

Kimberly Talley

DISPLAY CONNECTOR TYPES

Analog VGA: All Computer Displays
The standard computer analog display connector, introduced in 1987. More precisely described as an HD15 or mini D-sub 15-pin connector, D-sub 15or D-sub for short. Male on left, female on right. Supported computer displays include CRTs, LCD flat panels, data projectors and large plasma displays.
Using a different signal standard-YprPb component video- the connector is also used for some dual-use projectors and plasma displays, which support computer input and component video input with the same connector and switchable signaling.

Digital DVI: Flat Panels/Projectors
Abbreviated DVI-D, introduced in 1999. Superior digital connection for high-quality flat-panel displays and data projectors. A related connector is the DVI-I connector which can carry either digital or analog signals as needed. A DVI-I female connector is plug compatible with DVI-D male connectors used by better flat-panel displays and data projectors. DVI-I also supports VGA monitors with an HD15 adapter.

Analog BNC-5: Best Analog Connection
Used by higher-quality analog CRT monitors and plasma displays; supports higher resolutions and cable lengths than standard HD15 cables, due to signals being carried on five coaxial sub-cables. With an HD15 adapter cable (supplied with most BNC-5 displays), BNC-5 is commonly supported by using Y-cables and HD15 adapters.

RCA: TV/Video Monitors
Standard RCA composite video connector for consumer TVs and flat-panel monitors supporting TV input. (RCA connector is also used in pairs for audio and in groups of three for top-quality YPrPb component video TV connections.)

S-Video: TV/Video Monitors
Higher quality than RCA composite video. Used by consumer TVs, NTSC monitors and flat panels with TV input. Also known as Y/C.

Signal timings are factory preset and added to the Program Store by customer request. Infrared touch is also available.

Tradeshows A Huge Success

This year VarTech Systems participated in three tradeshows. The first tradeshow, GSA (US General Services Administration) was held this past May in Orlando. This tradeshow allows companies to exhibit the latest and greatest of their products and services, ranging from IT to recreation and vehicles to pest control and financial management. The Food Processing Machinery Association was held in November in Chicago. This expo focused on the latest developments in processing technology to meet the challenges faced by the industry's food and beverage manufacturers. The I/ITSEC (Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference) expo was held this month in Orlando. This tradeshow promoted cooperation among the Armed Services, Academia, Industry, and various Government agencies in pursuit of improving training and education programs, identifying common training issues and developing multiservice programs. All three shows proved to be a huge success with thousands of people seeing VarTech's products and services first hand.
