It is a Rocky Mountain Instrument micro encoder gauge. The company is now defunkt according to their website.
The description of this instrument says:
The microENCODER is a mode C altitude encoder with a host of additional features. Using solid-state sensors and processing technology with a powerful microprocessor, the unit combines an altitude encoder with a graphic/digital vertical speed indicator, digital airspeed indicator, sensitive digital altimeter and digital outside air temperature indicator. Magnetic compass heading is available with attachment of the optional compass module.
With this information available to the microprocessor, additional flight information such as true airspeed, altitude alert, density altitude, pressure altitude and true air temperature are available at the touch of a switch. Front panel controls allow the user to select options and enter warning limits to tailor the microENCODER to his aircraft and personal preferences.
The combination of all these features in one quality instrument creates a space-saving and cost-effective instrument that can be used as an encoder and primary instrument for VFR sport fliers or an encoder and backup instrument for IFR pilots.

Using the reference provided by Mike Sowsun, it looks like the actual instrument would be a microEncoder from Rocky Mountain Instrument, which appears to have closed operations in 2011.
