The ORLACO Display 7" RLED CAN RB 4D CS is a specialized camera display designed for commercial vehicles, fork-lift trucks, cranes, off-shore, and maritime applications. It serves as a user interface for various camera systems, offering a range of settings and functionalities to enhance visibility and operational efficiency.
Function Description:
The device functions primarily as a monitor for displaying camera feeds, with an emphasis on safety-critical operations. It features an 8-button keyboard for quick access to various settings and menu navigation. The display supports both single and multiple camera systems, including 1-camera, 2-camera (with Y-split cable), and 4-camera (with Y-split cable and switcher) configurations.
Key functions include:
- Camera Selection: Allows users to switch between multiple connected cameras.
- Backlight Control: Features automatic LCD backlight control for day/night settings, as well as manual adjustment options.
- Image Adjustment: Provides controls for contrast, brightness, and color saturation, which can be set independently for each camera.

- Quick Settings (Shortcuts):
- TIC Camera: When a Thermal Image Camera (TIC) is selected, button 2 enables Color LUT (Look Up Table) and DDE (Digital Detail Enhancement) quick settings. The minus button selects Color LUT settings (WHO, BHO, FUS, RB, I&F), while the plus button selects DDE settings (OFF, LOW, MED, HI). Pressing button 2 for more than 3 seconds initiates a Flat Field Correction (FFC) cycle.
- AFZ Camera: When an Auto Focus Zoom (AFZ) camera is selected, button 2 enables/disables zero lux and backlight functions.
- CCC Camera: When a Compact Color Camera (CCC) is selected, button 2 switches between all backlight settings for the entire system (DAY, NIGHT, ABC).
