Viewscreen

===NX-class===

Installed as early as [[2151]] for {{class|NX}} starships, the main viewer aboard these vessels provided a wide screen view of the [[space]] around the ship, as well as visual communications. They were capable of processing multiple inputs simultaneously, as was sometimes seen when two or more parties wished to have a joint conversation with ''Enterprise''.

In the year [[2152]], the crew of {{EnterpriseNX}} mounted a sophisticated sensor on the [[grappler]] arm allowing their sensors to detect and display onscreen [[cloak]]ed [[Suliban]] and [[Romulan]] vessels. ({{ENT|Shockwave|Minefield}})

{{bginfo|Dialogue in {{e|Balance of Terror}} suggests that 22nd century starships that fought in the [[Earth-Romulan War]] were without viewscreens, or at least incapable of visual communications. While this supposition was natural, {{s|6}} clearly established viewscreen technology present on [[United Earth]] vessels, as well as aboard [[Andorian]] ships, [[Klingon]] ships, and many others, while the Romulans seemingly did not (or chose to communicate through audio only).}}
