The prestigious annual awards ceremony, held at the Vinopolis, London, recognises and rewards CEDIA ESP members for their high quality system design and use of technology.

Monday December 3rd 2007. VEI (Valhalla Enterprises Inc) has today announced the release of their new 32" monitor, the latest edition to VEI's extensive range of Monitors, Computers, Control Systems and Night Vision Cameras. First shown at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show at the end of October, the product created a huge interest from customers and dealers alike and with a Pilothouse 500 nit and a Sunlight 1200 nit variant to choose from, this monitor provides designers and integrators new opportunities not previously possible.

Reformatting this is just a matter of drag and drop on the touch screen SSIR controller. On IMO vessels,...
