2 Introduction: VarioPro 64 and VarioPro 80
Congratulations on buying your new VarioPro. You have just acquired one of two
new Braille displays which offer a new dimension in functionality, flexibility and
adaptability.
VarioPro is a new Braille display with either 64 or 80 Braille cells designed primarily
for workstation usage.
The display has universal and simple connections:
• USB – a straightforward cable connection
• Serial – the standard communication channel/port (even for older laptops)
The highly robust casing is made from light metal with an integrated non-slip plastics
upper surface for installation of the keyboard. Such techniques are found in modern
camera bodies and are already used in Pronto. They allow us to construct very
elegant, stable and robust equipment.
The new VarioPro Braille displays allow additional modules to be attached – a new
milestone in the development of useful equipment for blind PC users. Their
outstanding feature is the combination of the most up-to-date technology with a tried-
and-tested simple design.
