  • VT420 Text Terminal Brochure EC-F0682 1990
    VT420 Text Terminal The Text Terminal for the 90s What it is: The VT420 is a low-cost, dual-session text terminal with new looks, comfort, and performance for the client-server age of the 90s. What it offers: The VT420 text terminal builds on the popular features of the VT320 terminal, and adds many enhancements including a three year warranty. New VT420 features include: dual-sessions; improved ergonomics; a new keyboard, off-screen memory; local macros; and communications rates to 38.4K baud. Enhanced programmable functions provide for management of data in rectangular areas of display memory and for application control of a more secure operating environment. The VT420's backward compatibiliry with VT300, VT200, VTlOO and VT52 text programs protects your investment in existing text applications. How You Benefit: New performance, ergonomic, and display features of the VT420 make it the ideal text terminal to satisfy today's more demanding needs for improved application interaction, screen management, viewing comfort, and keyboard productivity. Fully formed fof\tS, higher resolution, overscan and more displayable data lines en­ able you to display text applications with a clarity and sophistication normally associated with more expensive desktop display devices. These new display characteristics, combined with new commands for management of off-screen and macro memories, can enhance the performance of interactive text applications such as on-line transaction processing, spreadsheets, database inquires, and word processing. On the cover: The VT420 text terminal provides an efficient display for the manipulation of rectangular regions on the screen. Highlights * 14-inch flat-faced, anti-glare CRT screen is avail­ able in paper-white, amber, or green phosphors * 800 by 414 pixel resolution, a 70 Hz refresh rate and overscan.
