ALVA Satellite braille displays
Braille displays that put you in the middle of the action
The ALVA Satellite braille displays feature the most enhanced ergonomic
design to date. This extends the navigation and operation possibilities of most
popular screen readers, and increases productivity dramatically. With twin
satellite key pads, double touch cursors, three status cells, and activation of
speech feedback from the braille display, the ALVA Satellite braille displays
allow you to be twice as productive, twice as creative and have twice as much
fun when working with computers. Together with a USB connection and an internal
power adapter, these features of the ALVA Satellite take you beyond the earthly
standards of today...
Twin Satellite Key Pads
The most charming new feature of the ALVA Satellite braille displays are the
twin satellite key pads. Using these keys on your braille display, you can, for
example, easily navigate through complex graphic screens and give instructions
for speech feedback without moving your hands to the computer keyboard. Higher
efficiency and productivity is the immediate result. The braille display's
hardware can, of course, be configured according to your personal preferences.
You have the option to switch the functionality of the left and right satellite
keypads to suit your personal needs.
Double Touch Cursor
The silicone pad-switched double touch cursor above each braille cell
represent the ultimate integration of braille and speech feedback. Using the
first row of touch cursor switches, you can position the screen cursor exactly
at the braille cell's position. When using an ALVA Satellite braille display
together with a speech synthesizer, the second row of touch cursor switches are
used to ask for speech feedback about text attributes or the graphic at cursor
position. In a Windows environment the double touch cursor switches can be used
to simulate left and right mouse clicks.
Flexible Status Cell Definition
Depending on the screen reader software, three status cells provide
additional information about text attributes in the reading cells, the braille
display focus position on the screen, and icon attributes. It is possible to
have the status cells of an ALVA Satellite braille display positioned on the
left or on the right side of the braille display, or to switch to a display mode
in which all braille cells are used for reading.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Connection
With an inbound USB port and two outbound USB ports, the ALVA Satellite
braille displays are fully equipped for the newest PCs and ready for the
peripherals of tomorrow. With the plug-and-play capabilities of the USB ports,
you can connect an ALVA Satellite braille display to a computer without having
to reset the computer or the braille display.
Integrated Power Adapter
You will not need an external power adapter to use an ALVA Satellite braille
display. You can plug an appropriate power cable into the display to experience
ALVA's excellence in braille anywhere in the world.
No limits in operation
Like all ALVA braille displays, the Satellite braille display follow the Open
Standard philosophy, meaning it will work beautifully with just about every
popular operating system, graphical screen reader, computer system and speech
synthesizer. The technical design and function key layout of the ALVA Satellite
braille displays are optimized for a graphic computer screen environment.
Serviceability
Any maintenance or repair of an ALVA Satellite braille display can be quickly
addressed. The modular assembly of the electronics within the braille display
makes the replacement of particular parts very easy. The Satellite braille
displays come with CE safety guarantee and fulfill the requirements of the
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test.
