BT81x

Bridgetek BT81x series of Embedded Video Engines (EVE) utilizes an object oriented methodology for creating hi-quality human machine interfaces (HMIs). With support for display, audio, and touch, this new technology allows engineers to quickly and efficiently design HMIs and deliver robust solutions, hi-resolution displays with lower bill of material costs.
