A brief overview of the GeoChron Atlas 4K
A Worldview in 4K with Satellites, Weather, and Commercial Aviation
The Geochron Digital Atlas 4K gives viewers beautiful displays of the Earth with the sunrise-sunset rendered in real-time 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 take in the terrestrial movement of the Earth’s orbit in sync with the Sun.
The Geochron Digital Atlas 4K as 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.

The hardware is a sturdy, fanless mini computer specifically designed for commercial digital displays found in restaurants and airports.
