The PIT-1501W is a UL60601-1/EN60601-1 certified unit with IP65/NEMA4 sealing that allows hospital patients to watch movies and television, make phone calls, play games and communicate via the Internet from the comfort of their beds.

The PIT-1501W is a state-of-the-art multifunction patient infotainment terminal equipped with a 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen display that provides HDTV standard 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. It allows for viewing of HD television content via an optional digital TV tuner. The terminal is powered by efficient, low-voltage Intel® Atom(TM) Z530 1.6 GHz processors that enable silent, fanless operation and low power consumption. The versatile unit can be used and mounted virtually anywhere - it weighs less than ten pounds (even with the optional handset) and is a mere 2.5 inches thick.

Based on the Windows XP Embedded OS platform or Linux, the PIT-1501W can be configured to provide a wide variety of entertainment, diagnostic and communications services.
