SignatureGem Backlit 4x5 LCD SE (Serial/Virtual Serial)

SignatureGem® Backlit LCD 4x5 includes all the high-quality features of our electronic signature pad with the added feature of a bright backlit LCD interactive display, allowing users to see "electronic ink" under the pen tip as they sign as well as navigate and display text and graphics. The wide signing area and rugged tempered glass signing surface make this a versatile pad for the most demanding applications.

The Backlit Colour LCD model has a 4" x 5" transflective LCD screen with a bright backlight for improved viewing in any ambient lighting conditions.

*Signatures appear on the pad screen under-the-pen as the user signs. In addition, the LCD display can be used to display information to the user, and can also display on-screen buttons, hot-spots and checkboxes.

All our SignatureGem LCD range are now fitted with e-Tether pen. These "active" pens draw their power from the tether to the unit (which derives its power from the computrer connection). This does away with the need for batteries to drive the pen.

The "-BSB" and "-BBSB" models are Virtual Serial devices. Our "-BSB" and "-BBSB" signature pads are the recommended option for Remote Desktop, Citrix, and VDI environments. "-BSB" and "-BBSB" signature pads can also be used in a local environment.

Essentially the pads are Serial Devices with an integrated Serial-to-USB convertor, meaning that the attachment of the units is to an available USB socket on the PC or Terminal. Supported operating systems are Windows (local environment usage), or Windows, embedded Windows, Linux and MAC OSX 10.3 and above (in Citrix, Termianl Service or XenApp/RDC environments).

There is also a serial connection. It connects to a PC or Termial via an RS232 connection (pad has a female 9-pin connector - see image above). Typically less common than the USB connection, Serial is having somewhat of a comeback in the expanding Remote Access environment, being ideal for Citrix and/or Terminal services architecture.

This model has a three-year Manufacturer's Warranty. However, even after this warranty period has passed (or if the repair is outside the terms of the warranty) we can offer a lifetime service to repair or refurbish the unit (if possible) for a modest charge. 

The "-R" suffix, common to all our products denotes a product that is RoHS compliant. RoHS, also known as Lead-Free, stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of six hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance. RoHS impacts the entire electronics industry and many electrical products as well.
