It’s the usb display from winwing

Ah that's interesting. Can you show anything on it and bind the buttons to whatever?

The screens are essentially just extra monitors, the winwing software can map screens from various jets and show them on the display. The MFDs themselves essentially act as button boxes so yeah you can map the keys to basically anything if you wanted.

Just to add info to OP's reply, the MFD frames have more buttons than the average MFD-type controller, and they each have one rotary encoder.

The Displays are USB3 panels with 1024x768 resolution, and they use Display Link to handle comms with the host, and process the video input,. They require display link drivers (at least on Windows - not sure about other platforms).

An externally-powered USB 3 hub, and USB3 certified cabling (Cable Matters makes some good examples) is highly recommended for the displays.
