Esterline Simulation Visual Systems Launches FD-Series

Esterline Simulation Visual Systems, a new business of Esterline Corporation, today introduced to market its new TREALITY(R) FD-Series of faceted displays at I/ITSEC.

The TREALITY FD-Series is a family of compact rear projection visual systems with full 360degree immersion. The FD-Series of faceted displays can be equipped with up to 25 high-contrast facet screens which have been designed to eliminate spurious reflections inside the visual system. This enhances the color saturation and realism for day scenes and is effective for very dark night scenes. With a system contrast of up to 50:1 and a system brightness of 10 fL., the system lay-out has a reduced footprint and fits in rooms that are as low as 15 ft. in height. Frank Timmermans, vice president, Esterline Simulation Visual Systems, said: "The commercial launch of the innovative TREALITY FD-Series of faceted displays is further evidence of Esterline Simulation Visual Systems' commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction."

Peter De Meerleer, director strategic marketing and R&D, Esterline Simulation Visual Systems, said: "The high brightness and excellent system contrast of our FD-Series faceted displays provide very realistic, colorful day scenes and high-quality night scenes. The FD-Series technology is tailored to a variety of projector types that can meet the needs of any demanding training and simulation program."

Esterline Simulation Visual Systems announced the launch of its new TREALITY brand of products at ITEC 2015. Formerly the Training & Simulation products business of Belgium-based Barco N.V., which Esterline acquired earlier this year, the new TREALITY product brand is synonymous with the design, development, manufacture and world-wide support of market leading, high-performance visual systems for military and commercial flight simulation and training.
