Ready for use in Government institutions and other organizations that require CAC. ISO/IEC 7816 certified for CAC, PIV, and Smart Cards A, B, C (5V, 3V, 1.8V). ROM means data is never stored, so it can't be compromised.

Supports a maximum resolution of up to single 4K @ 60Hz and dual 1440p @ 60Hz. Requires host device to have DSC enabled to support single 4K @ 60Hz (4K @ 30Hz supported without).

Visual Data Protection

Supports Kensington privacy screens (such as K5170WW), which protect privacy by limiting viewing angle to +/- 30-degrees while filtering blue light and glare.
