Wide-Screen Headrest Color LCD Monitors
New this year are two LCD video monitors for
headrest installations. The VMA7196/VMA5096
7" and 5" wide-screen monitors also have many
of the unique features found in the overhead
models, such as a high-resolution, TFT (Thin
Film Transistors) active-matrix displays, two A/V
inputs, an external A/V game port, and two-chan-
nel IR audio transmitters for use with the optional
WH204 wireless headphones.They both include a
slim, easy-fit universal mounting bracket for use in
variety of installations.
Multi-Zone Systems
Clarion’s multi-zone products allow the ultimate
in system design and flexibility. The MSS430
“Source Commander” is a combination audio
and video switcher with a built-in video distribu-
tion amplifier for excellent video performance on
up to three LCD monitors. Its four audio inputs
have individual gain controls to match audio
source levels. It can accept up to four different
audio/video sources (Example: DVD, VHS, TV
tuner, video game, rear vision camera, or video
camera) and send the audio and video to any of
three monitors independently.
The possibilities are endless. And by using our
wireless headphones, installation is a breeze.
With multi-source switching, any one of four
audio/video sources can be selected independ-
ently for each video monitor. For example, each
back seat or overhead monitor can have its own
audio/video program, controlled from a wired
remote control station. The line level output can
feed any of our WH104/WH204/WH105 wireless
headphones, or the AUX inputs on any source
unit or equalizer.
Rear-Seat Entertainment
Wide-Screen Flip-Down Color LCD Monitors
Two new OHM overhead video screens are avail-
able this year: the OHM156 (15.3" widescreen
monitor), OHM106 (10.2" widescreen monitor).
These compliment the OHMD102 10.2” flip-down
with integrated DVD player that features CD/CD-
R/RW/DVD/MP3 playback.
Sharing common features, each overhead moni-
tor offers multi-picture formats (16:9/4:3), and
a high-resolution TFT (Thin Film Transistors)
active-matrix display to ensure the clearest and
brightest pictures available. The overheads also
offer easy adjustment of color, tint, brightness
and dimmer functions, multiple A/V inputs (four
inputs on the OHM156 and OHM106 and one
on the OHMD102), one video output, an exter-
nal A/V game port, and IR audio transmitters for
wireless headphones. Each monitor also touts a
built-in IR receiver, which allows you to pass an
IR control signal through to a source unit such
as the TTX005. Choosing from our extensive list
of stand-alone video source options such as the
TTX005 (TV Tuner), VS755 (DVD player), CK525E
(rear-view camera) or the VCZ625 (DVD Changer),
you can create an extensive A/V system without
altering the factory source unit.
Screen Technology
All Clarion video monitors utilize high-resolution
video-grade active matrix screens. By employ-
ing a "stripped pixel" configuration to align RGB
pixels into columns, more pixels are used to
enhance the details and provide better color
definition. TFT's are attached to each RGB (red/
green/blue) pixel to provide more control over
the color being reproduced. This method helps
reduce "white wash" associated with conven-
tional passive matrix screens.
Screen Resolution
The Clarion OHM156 and OHM106 overhead
monitors boast impressive screen resolutions. The
OHM106 offers 1.2 Million pixels and the OHM156
