Monochrome Amber
Description / The combination of both LED technologies,
monochrome and RGB in SMD technology, to represent
coloured lines/routes offers a cost-effective alternative to
monochrome LED displays. The option of a black (or coloured) contrasting line/route clearly separates the colour
background area from the coloured information. The strict
“modular” structure of the bustec display systems ensures
there is no break (visible separation) between the two display technologies within the overall raster of the display.
This makes the overall appearance of the display completely
homogenous.

ECO-rgb-MulticoloUr
Description / With the RGB multicolour LED display, bustec
brings colour into play. Each individual LED can be controlled
individually and may be used to create up to 256 different colours. This provides countless design options for the representation of information. The user-friendly “VISE Editor” enables
detailed editing of texts and colours as well as ensuring information can be saved to the LED displays. In order to ensure
that the represented lines/routes and pictograms are clear to
read, the “VISE” program can be used to program a contrasting
line/route into the RGB LED field using black or a third colour.

passengers by way of the new bustec generation
of devices. Compact in design and available as 19”
built-in device or as stand-alone, the announcement
devices from bustec can be integrated in the vehicle for
any purpose. They can reliably and simply be used to
transfer and prepare a variety of data formats via USB/
Ethernet interface.
bustec announcement systems are available with
and without amplifiers in both low-cost and high-end
systems with 4-32 GB of storage. The BT800 is also
able to act as “central unit” to supply to TFT (LCD)
information displays in HD resolution via DVI.
Whether you are using the latest MP3 format, spoken
or synthesized speech, bustec announcement technology
is characterised by high sound quality at cost-effective,
entry prices - thus enabling entry into the acoustic
world and providing additional information to the
passenger on board. This added information is highly
valued, particularly by passengers with impaired
vision.
The announcement system BT800 is an Ethernet
based system. This makes it possible to use VoIP, for
example, the BT820 for announcements or messages
made from the driver’s microphone. Easy to handle and
easily fitted to vehicles, the systems are also simple
and maintenance-free when in use. The announcement
systems are controlled via the on-board computer.
Various default interfaces, for example, IBIS, RS485
and Ethernet (10/100 Mbit), are available to control the
system or update the data. bustec announcement systems are also optionally available with other interfaces.

The bustec VoIP system is designed as a digital
intermediary between the driver’s microphone and the
announcement system or loudspeaker.
The BT820 is used, in particular, in larger vehicles
(e.g. bi-directional vehicles), which have longer cable
lengths between the microphone and the amplifier, and
is thus able to provide greater sound quality compared
to traditional systems.
