Panasonic Toughbook has unveiled its 20-inch 4K tablet, designed for CAD applications, technical services, healthcare, photography, pro video productions and high-end retail.
The FZ-Y1 Toughpad is said to make it easy to create, edit and transport drawings, images and videos on a tablet PC in stunning Ultra HD 4K resolution.
“We’re seeing businesses across various industries demanding higher standards in picture quality at work and at home,” says Stuart Buxton, senior product manager, Toughbook, Panasonic. “From the living room to the boardroom, 4K is a defining standard for digital content and the new FZ-Y1 Toughpad device delivers high-impact 4K presentations wherever you need them – from the showroom floor to the broadcast suite.”
In the media, broadcast or photography industry, the new 4K tablet allows instant and detailed review of images or video footage. The retail industry can benefit from an attractive and stylised device for showroom demonstrations, and creative agencies, engineering and architectural firms will value the tablet for its detailed design collaboration capabilities. In addition, healthcare professionals can view scans and x-ray images with greater clarity and precision than ever before.
To protect the slim 12.5mm-thin unit, the silver bezel and 4K display panel are mounted on a magnesium alloy frame, and enclosed in a reinforced glass fibre case. For collaborative working, the tablet incorporates a 10-point multi-touch screen and a highly detailed 230 pixel-per-inch IPS Alpha LCD display with a 15:10 aspect ratio, perfect for displaying blueprints and other A3 sized documents.
The tablet provides the performance of a desktop with an Intel Core i5-5300U vPro Processor, HDMI 2.0 input, Windows 10 Pro and a 256 GB SSD.
For viewing animations, film rushes, 3D models, plans or images in the ultimate high resolution detail, the Toughpad’s HDMI 2.0 input enables the device to be turned into a field monitor for applications such as broadcast and movie shooting.
With business ports and wireless connectivity – USB 3.0, Intel Wifi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 (class 1), Ethernet and Mini DisplayPort output – users are always connected and able to collaborate, whether at their desk or out of the office.
The lightweight, business-rugged 4K tablet is built to handle a 76 cm drop to its back while operating, and 30 cm drops to 26 angles when nonoperational.
Combined with accessories such as the optional Panasonic desktop cradle and carrying case solution, the device can be used as both a desktop PC and tablet. The cradle converts into a tilted stand to allow the tablet to be used in drafting table mode, and offers additional connectivity port options. A VESA-compatible mounting adaptor plate is also available.
