PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
1.1.  
Introduction  
This manual is intended to give an operator information to facilitate connection, setting up,  
and usage of the monitor which is fitted with a PremierView 4 flat-panel driver card. Its  
technical content is limited to that which is relevant to these functions; full technical  
information is given in the Technical Manual.  
The figure below details all the possible input connections please check your monitor or  
product description to determine which inputs are fitted.  
1.2.  
Product Overview  
The monitor is designed to accept the following input signals:  
Composite video via BNC socket or 3-pin header  
S-Video via 4-way mini_DIN socket  
RGB and YUV component video via 10-pin header on open-chassis units or 4  
off BNC sockets on cased units.  
SDI (Serial Digital Interface) via 3-pin header on open-chassis units or a BNC  
sockets on cased units.  
RGB analogue (computer interface) via 15-way HDD socket or 10-pin header  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) via DVI socket (Molex 88741 series or similar)  
These signals can be all displayed on the panel and ALL signals are displayed FULL  
SCREEN. "Near-optical quality" scaling means that the output signal is scaled with  
minimal loss of quality or image resolution irrespective of the resolution of the incoming  
signal.

CALIBRE  
Factory defaults have been carefully chosen such that most users will not need to make  
any adjustments. A simple user interface (supplied) with On Screen Display allows the  
user to adjust a wide variety of parameters if necessary. Once the parameters are set  
they can be stored in non-volatile EEPROM, which ensures the set-up is retained when  
power to the unit is switched off.

OPERATION  
2.1.  
Normal Operation  
Normal operation of the interface consists of little more than connecting up the power  
supply, video and computer signals and switching on. Signals are scanned in accordance  
with the currently selected priority list and the highest priority valid signal is displayed. If  
the priority or any other picture parameter needs adjustment then the following section  
describes the user interface.

User Interface Buttons  
The physical user control panel consists of five push buttons. One of these is dedicated  
to invoking the OSD Menu while the other four are dual purpose, as listed below:  
Menu: invokes OSD or next function level (equivalent to “enter” key on a PC)  
Con+: Direct contrast increase, also used to increment selected parameter  
Con-: Direct contrast decrease, also used to decrement selected parameter  
BR+: Direct backlight increase, also used to increment selected parameter  
BR-: Direct backlight decrease, also used to decrement selected parameter

2.3.  
User Controls.  
2.3.1.  
Direct Brightness Adjustment  
Pressing the Br+ or BR- button controls the intensity of the backlight. After adjustment,  
the new Brightness value is displayed on the screen until the OSD timeout period expires  
(see para. 2.4.5). The new setting is then stored and the display returns to normal.  
2.3.2.  
2.3.3.  
Direct Contrast Adjustment  
Pressing the Con+ or Con- button controls the contrast (video gain) of the picture. After  
adjustment, the new contrast value is displayed on the screen until the OSD timeout  
period expires. The new setting is then stored and the display returns to normal.  
Menu Select  
Pressing this button displays picture identification information together with a menu of  
icons. To access lower-level functions, press Con+, Con-, Br+ or Br- to toggle through the  
menus available for the currently displayed signal type, then press MENU again to select  
that function. The MENU button has a similar function to the ENTER key on a computer  
keyboard. Exit from a menu is by selecting BACK which returns to the previous level.  
When leaving the main menu you will be prompted to save any changes, if you do not  
wish to save any changes select NO. Note that Con+ and Br+ have identical functions in  
this mode, as have Con- and Br-.  
2.4.  
OSD Menu  
At the top of the menu is a line which identifies the type of signal currently displayed. For  
computer signals the same section displays the signal resolution, together with horizontal  
and vertical frequencies. If its setup has been saved, the user number of that signal is  
also displayed. These figures are for guidance only.  
2.4.1.  
2.4.2.  
Brightness and Contrast  
These perform the same functions as the direct button operations in para. 2.3.1 and 2.3.2  
above.  
The Geometry Menu  
Geometry adjustments can be made for all types of input individually, so that if the input  
type changes, the geometry adjustment will change with it. Saved settings include one  
each for PAL, NTSC, SECAM, SDI and component video.  
Additionally, a total of 25 settings may be stored for analogue graphics (RGB and DVI). If  
this graphics table is full, further stored settings will over-write the earliest so that the  
settings complement contains the latest 25.  
1)  
Edge Adjustment – Picture Size and Position Controls. The four “Edge” controls  
shift each edge within available limits. Note that the maximum available shift  
depends on the incoming video standard and the display panel type, and may be  
restricted vertically. This provides very flexible and easy to use image size and  
position control.  
2)  
3)  
Moire correction The user can choose from one of four correction tables.  
Clock (Analogue Graphics only). This sets the total number of input pixels per line  
to correspond with the input source, and will normally require adjustment only for  
unusual signals.  
4)  
Phase (Analogue Graphics only) This adjusts the internal clock to sample each  
pixel as near as possible to the centre. Phase will normally require adjustment for  
unusual types of signal.

CALIBRE  
5)  
Aspect Ratio (Video signals only for SXGA panels) This allows a user to select the  
displayed aspect ratio where the signal input is at variance with the display panel’s  
natural aspect ratio. The format may be adjusted to either “Letter Box” (4:3 LB) or  
“Overscan” (4:3 OS). “Letter Box” effectively adjusts the height of the displayed  
image and “Overscan” effectively adjusts the width to achieve the desired 4:3  
aspect ratio.  
2.4.3.  
Input Select  
This allows the user to configure the preferred input selections. If a facility is not fitted, it  
will be displayed but not selectable. By pressing the Br+/Con+ and Br-/Con- keys, the  
following choices can be made:  
1)  
2)  
Signal type priority: Video-graphics or Graphics-video  
Video priority search order –  
CVBS – Y/C – SDI – Component  
Y/C – CVBS – SDI – Component  
SDI – Component – CVBS – Y/C  
Component – SDI – CVBS – Y/C  
3)  
4)  
Graphics search – RGB-DVI or DVI-RGB  
Component video type – RGB or YUV. Incorrect colours may be due to wrong  
selection here.  
NOTE you can only select those inputs which your monitor is configured for.  
2.4.4.  
The Colour Menu  
1)  
Video Inputs - The contrast (video gain) and brightness (black level) parameters,  
also colour saturation for PAL, NTSC and SECAM inputs can be accessed from  
this menu. For NTSC signals, there is an additional HUE option.  
2)  
Computer Inputs – Individual Colour Adjustments - Red, green and blue levels can  
be thought of as individual brightness controls for each of red, green and blue.  
They should be adjusted for the desired colour balance and to minimise noise on  
low intensity colours and greys. Colour tints can be added as required.  
Gains can be thought of as individual contrast controls for each of red, green and  
blue. They should be adjusted for the desired colour balance and lack of noise on  
high intensity colours and whites. For example, a block of white can be changed to  
a blue-tinge (clean) white or to a red-tinge (warm) white.

2.4.5.  
The System Menu  
This selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to  
picture adjustment:  
1)  
Esc: The Esc option returns to the last saved setup. It is useful if an adjustment  
has been made in error. After an Esc the menu is removed.  
2)  
Save: The Save option saves all the user adjustments for the displayed signal  
type. The new adjustments are stored in non-volatile memory and so are still valid  
from a power down - power up cycle. After a Save the menu is removed.  
3)  
Reset: The are two types of Reset option:  
Selecting Reset from the menu restores the user adjustable parameters for the  
signal currently being display back to the factory defaults.  
Simultaneously pressing four buttons Br+, Br–, Con+, Con– restores to factory  
default state all the user adjustments for the signal currently being displayed. This  
is useful if a picture set-up has become hopelessly lost or confused. The Reset  
option can also be accessed even if the OSD has been lost. After a Reset the  
menu is removed.  
4)  
5)  
6)  
OSD Timeout: This selection enables the user to control the time after which the  
OSD display is cancelled. It can be adjusted in 15-sec increments from 1 (=15 sec)  
to 4 (=1 min) approximately.  
OSD X and OSD Y: These functions control the position of the OSD display on the  
screen. Its default setting is such as to place the OSD in the centre of the screen,  
but the user can adjust its position with these functions.  
Auto Centering: This is simply a Yes/No selection. If an input signal changes, it is  
first measured and compared with stored selections. If its parameters are already  
stored, they are installed. If they are not stored, the “Auto Centering” selection is  
checked and if set to “No” the best fit is displayed. The user can then centre the  
picture using OSD auto setup. If Auto Centering is set to “Yes”, centering is  
performed automatically, which may take more than 15 seconds. This could cause  
a problem if using Windows, wherein a resolution change is displayed only for 15  
seconds and reverts to its previous selection if no acknowledgement is entered.  
For this reason, the default state is “No”. NOTE this control only configures  
Analogue Graphics inputs.  
7) Computer / AV Mode: This option is only available on units fitted with the professional  
decoder and is valid when the input is RGB(S) connected via the component input  
port or an interlace graphics signal is connected via the analog computer input port.  
Computer Mode should be selected when the input comes from a computer  
generated source, this option provides reduced flicker for predominantly static data.  
AV Mode should be selected when the input comes from any source which  
contains moving images as it provides a smoother output.  
2.4.6.  
The Miscellaneous Menu  
This selection offers several options the availability of these functions is dependant on the  
particular build configuration and the signal input.  
1) Image flip Horizontal: This is available on the majority of options and allows the user  
to flip the output image horizontally.  
2) Image Flip Vertical: This can only be used if the Frame Store option is fitted and the  
input signal resolution is either video or computer graphics (SVGA or lower).  
3) Text Enhanced / Normal: This text enhancement option can improve the appearance  
of fine text from a computer generated analog input signal. Please note this  
function will only be effective if the signal resolution is close to the resolution of the  
panel, no harm will be done to the unit by trying the enhanced and normal text  
options for other input resolutions.

Safety Issues  
0% to 95%  
The display interface and keyboard are low voltage devices which do not generate any  
hazardous voltages. However, when designing an installation, bear the following points in  
mind:  
Any mains operated power supply should comply with safety and EMC legislation in the  
country of operation. Any mains wiring should comply with the safety standards  
applicable in the country of operation.  
The backlight inverter in most display panels generates potentially lethal voltages.  
Ensure that the installation offers adequate protection to the operator from this hazard.
