User Notice
All information, documentation, and specifications contained in this manual
are subject to change without prior notification by the manufacturer. The
manufacturer makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or
implied, with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any
warranties as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Any of
the manufacturer's software described in this manual is sold or licensed as is.
Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and
not the manufacturer, its distributor, or its dealer), assumes the entire cost of all
necessary servicing, repair and any incidental or consequential damages
resulting from any defect in the software.
The manufacturer of this system is not responsible for any radio and/or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this device. It is the
responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in the operation
of this system if the correct operational voltage setting was not selected prior
to operation. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE SETTING IS
CORRECT BEFORE USE.
A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead
pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color
output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen,
although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the
pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can
create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable
screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all
manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain
amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the
manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO
specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the
TFT LCD panel.

Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
The CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 is a Short Depth WideScreen LCD Console
Series targeting limited space and mobile live streaming applications. The
short depth design fits all 19" equipment cabinets, and is especially suitable for
shallow racks. In addition to saving valuable space on the rack, the CL3800/
CL3700/CL3100 also provides a space-saving solution for special
environments, such as outside broadcast vans (OB vans) and compact control
rooms.
The CL3800 USB HDMI DVI VGA LCD Console is a dual rail LCD KVM
console featuring an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor with an
integrated keyboard and touchpad. The CL3800 supports three types of video
input – HDMI, DVI, and VGA – and provides the ultimate in installation
flexibility by allowing users to connect the console and the computer via any
of the three types of video source.
To maximize space utilization, the dual rail design enables CL3800’s LCD
monitor, keyboard and touchpad to operate independently of each other. The
LCD console’s keyboard and touchpad modules can slide back to hideaway
when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back, flush against
the rack, to allow the convenient monitoring of computer activity.
While the CL3800 supports multiple video interfaces, the CL3700 and CL3100
are dedicated front end sliding consoles respectively for compatible HDMI
KVM switches and VGA KVM switches. Both of the CL3700 and CL3100 are
single rail design with an 18.5” LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor, an
integrated keyboard and touchpad.
For added convenience, users can choose to manage the computer from an
external console. Ports for a second external KVM console (USB keyboard/
mouse) with either an HDMI (CL3800 and CL3700), DVI (CL3800 only), or
VGA (CL3800 and CL3100) monitor, are provided on the rear panel. The
CL3800 and CL3100 include two mini stereo ports for connecting audio
speakers, one in the CPU section, and the other in the external Console section
on the rear panel. The CL3800/CL3700/CL3100 also features a port for an
external USB mouse on the unit’s front panel for use with the built-in
keyboard. See Rear Panel External Console Ports, page 2 to view a table of
available ports for each model.

correctly.
I can’t use the special keys on
the Sun external keyboard to
control Sun computers.
Appendix
The distance between the external console and the
CL3800 is too great. The maximum DVI cable
distance should not exceed 20 m and, in some cases,
may need to be shorter. Replace the DVI cable with
one of an appropriately short length.
The keyboard layout setting for the port does not
match the keyboard you are using. On your switch,
change the keyboard layout setting for the port to
match the layout of the keyboard you are using.
Use Sun keyboard emulation keystrokes (page 65) to
achieve all Sun keyboard functions.
