A Worldview in 4K with Live DX, Call logs, MUF, and Solar Weather

The Geochron Digital Atlas 4K gives viewers beautiful displays of the Earth with Amateur Radio real time data through a small computer that plugs directly in to your TV via HDMI.  The size of your display is only limited by the size of your TV, as you can see Amateur Radio activity around the world at glance.

(How is this different from previous versions of Geochron Digital?)

The Geochron Digital Atlas 4K displays a full-featured Geochron World Clock on any 4K TV, with every mapset and lighting option available in our famous mechanical clock but at a fraction of the cost.  Now in the digital format, users can customize markers on the map, and receive (with internet) real time updates. The hardware is a sturdy, fanless mini computer specifically designed for commercial digital displays found in restaurants and airports.
