The gen4-FT812-70T display is an embedded SPI display from 4D Systems. It features a Resistive Touch panel with an integrated FTDI FT812 Video Engine.

It is a powerful SPI Display which enables a SPI host to be connected directly to the display, providing a powerful set of graphics features to the host using the on board FTDI FT81x Video Engine.

This display provides four-in-one functionality, a TFT LCD Display, Audio with amplifier enabling, Resistive Touch screen, and an integrated Video Engine. This combination built directly into the screen allows for simple integration into a number of applications.

The FT812 Video Engine runs the FTDI version of EVE (Embedded Video Engine), which targets high quality graphics displays with Widget support, designed to offload the Host Processor and provision of a variety of graphics features.

All software support for the FT812 is provided directly from FTDI. Hardware support is provided by 4D Systems.
