Blackbird Micro PC

Ultra-Low Power

ANPR Processor Unit

The Blackbird Micro PC is a silent, miniature, lower power processor unit which runs the CitySync Jet ANPR Engine in situations where size or discretion is important.

The small unit measures only 101mm x 115mm x 27mm and is housed in a rugged aluminium case making it suitable for mounting inside street furniture, vehicles or in restricted places. The power consumption of only 8 Watts means that the unit can operate on batteries for several days at a time.

The pocket-sized PC is fanless and the SSD version is completely silent.

Small and green does not mean that the unit isn't powerful. The Blackbird Micro has several Intel Atom processor options up to 2GHz and 2GB RAM allowing it to run between two and four ANPR cameras. (These can be all Infra Red ANPR or include day/night colour modules).

Most compact or embedded systems have problems communicating with the outside world due to bespoke operating systems requiring special drivers for comms equipment. Not so with the Blackbird Micro. Not only does it run Windows allowing a huge selection of devices to be directly connected, but it has several communication options including Wi-Fi, USB, Serial and twin GigE LAN ports.

Touch-Screen Monitor

A 7" touch-screen monitor is available which complements the Blackbird Micro PC perfectly due to its size and low power consumption using just 2W at standard brightness.  The monitor can be powered from the PC.
