1. Preliminary Remarks

1.3 Safety information

This section describes safety precautions which must be observed when installing a product from Barco.

Safety standards

The safety standards of information technology equipment impose important requirements on the use of safety
critical components, materials and isolation, in order to protect the user or operator against the risk of electric
shock and energy hazard, and having access to live parts.

Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical
stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection against risk of fire.

Simulated single fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the use even when the equip­ment’s normal operation fails.

General safety instructions

• All the safety and operating instructions should be read before using this unit.

• The operating instructions manual should be retained for future reference.

• All warnings on the device and in the documentation manuals should be adhered to.

• All instructions for operating and use of this equipment must be followed precisely.

• All local installation codes should be adhered to.

Installation and preliminary adjustments should be performed by qualified Barco
personnel or authorized Barco service dealers.

1.3.1 Safety on installation

Check the power rating on your outlet before connecting the devices to the wall outlet or
to a power strip. Contact your facilities manager or a qualified electrician if you are not
sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

The devices are designed to operate with single-phase power systems having a
grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any
other type of power system.

A. Mains lead (AC Power cord) with CEE 7 plug:

The colors of the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow: Earth (safety earth)

B. Power cord with NEMA 15-5 plug:

The wires of the power cord are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green or green/yellow: Ground

White or blue: Neutral

Black or brown: Line (live)

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the

cord.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products

plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also make sure that the
total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

• Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the

set and have it checked by qualified service personnel before resuming operations.

• Lightning - For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended

and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the monitor
due to lightning and AC power-line surges.

Warning: Do not place flammable or combustible materials near the monitor!

Transportation

• Any transportation of the unopened unit in its packaging should be done by two persons.

• In transportation or storage of products in original packing, NEVER stack more than the number stated on the

carton box. This warning is also indicated on the side of the card box.

• For transportation or storage, observe the warnings and instructions on the side of the card box.

Nearby equipment

If air conditioning ducts or lamps, etc. are located near the installation site, the attendant dust, extreme tem­peratures, humidity, and condensation may become sources of trouble. Please take sufficient steps to avoid this.

Safety locations

Do not install the unit where it may be easily touched or leaned against. Avoid locations subject to high vibra­tions or severe impacts. Do not install the unit where it is exposed to humidity, oil, smoke or excessive dust.

Mechanical stress.

Please be careful not to apply strong mechanical stress (shock, drop) to the LCD module. Such stress may cause
break of screen glass and lamp or may be the cause for failure.

Pressure to screen surface.

Please be careful not to apply strong pressure to the screen surface. Such pressure may cause scratches at the
surface or may be the cause of failure.

1. Preliminary Remarks

Protection against scratch.

Please be careful not to hit, press or rub the screen surface with hard material like tools. In addition, please do
not put heavy or hard material on the screen surface, and do not stack monitors. Polarizer at the front surface
can be easily scratched.

Temperature dependence of the display.

Response speed (optical response) of the LCD display is dependent on temperature. Under low temperature,
response speed is slower. Also brightness and chromaticity change slightly depend on temperature.

Image retention

Displaying the same pattern for a long time may cause image sticking, vertical dark lines or other forms of image
artifacts. This is a common phenomenon of all LCD displays. It disappears after some time if the pattern is
changed, or the monitor is switched off. However, image retention is not subject of warranty.

3.1 Display of choice

The state-of-the-art monitors deliver crisp, clear images detailed to perfection. Compatible with a wide variety of
signal sources, they are capable of showing analog video as well as data content.

Sources and interfaces

The monitor provides interfaces to connect composite video, S-Video, component video as well as analog or digi­tal RGB.

Picture-in-Picture

Two of the connected sources can be displayed simultaneously, either next to each other (PAP: picture-and­picture), or one source embedded in the other (PIP: picture in picture).

The sources can be controlled individually (brightness, contrast, color)

Automatic brightness adjustment

A light sensor determines the surrounding light intensity. According the measurement, the panel will adjust to
one of the two preset brightness levels: bright mode or dim mode.

User friendliness

The monitors can intuitively be operated and controlled via the OSD and the Infra Red Remote Control Unit (IR
RCU).

The language of the OSD can be selected as well as its position on the screen, size, etc.

RS232 remote control is also possible.

In case you want to operate the monitor via RS232 Remote Control, contact Barco about
the protocol!

3.2 Technology

The monitors are based on LCD Super MVA technology. The benefits of this technology are wide viewing angles,
fast video response and high contrast ratio.

MVA stands for Multidomain Vertical Alignment.

3.2.1 Principle of LCD technology

These are the basics used in LCD technology:

• Light can be polarized

• Liquid crystals can transmit polarized light.

• Liquid crystals align themselves when a voltage is applied.

• Liquid crystals change the light's plane of vibration to match their own angle.

There are multiple operating principles of LCD's; one of them is the Multidomain Vertical Alignment which – not
surprising – is based on the Vertical Alignment (VA) technology.

With this operating principle, the LC molecules are completely perpendicular when no voltage is applied, and
thus they don't change the polarization of light. Light simply passes the LC, and is blocked by the front end polar­izer (since this polarizer is rotated 90° against the back end polarizer which allowed the incident light to pass).

Because the blockage is complete, the quality of black produced this way is excellent!

When voltage is applied, the molecules shift to a horizontal position, producing a white image: the polarization
of the light is changed, and light can pass the front end polarizer.

Since the LC molecules are simply switched between vertical and horizontal alignment, response speeds are very
fast.

As a further development of the VA technology, with MVA technology the LC cell is divided in sub domains where
the molecules are oriented in opposite direction. This widens the viewing angles and enhances the performance.

The following picture shows the basic principle of VA technology:

On the PIP CONTROL dialog, the vertical and horizontal position of the image can be set as well as an area for the embedded picture be defined.

PIP means picture-in-picture and displays dual moving images from two separate sources (e.g., PC and video) at
the same time.

There are two different ways: one source is displayed in full size, and the other one is displayed in a small size
overlaying the full screen picture. The full screen picture is called master source, and the other one PIP source.

Besides this display mode, the two sources can be displayed "side to side", which is called PAP mode (picture
and picture).

The source selected on input 1 is always the master source, the source selected on input 2 is always the PIP
source.

The master source and the PIP source can be switched by means of the function key F3 on the RCU (which in fact
is changing sources at the inputs).

PIP settings made with input 2 are only applied when input 2 becomes the PIP master!

Scaling

Scaling can be set to Native, Fill, Aspect, and 4:3.

Scaling means changing the resolution of an image.
Native is only enabled when the detected resolution of the source is lower than the resolution of the monitor.
'The monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixel. In case the resolution of the source is lower (e.g. a PAL Video

with 720x540 pixels), when displayed 1:1, there will be a black border around the content.
In case Fill is selected, the content is displayed on the entire screen which, in case the ratio of the source is dif-

ferent from the ratio of the screen (e.g. a PAL Video, 4:3), results in a distortion of the content: with PAL, in hori­zontal direction, the pixels would be multiplied by a factor of 2.6, whereas in vertical direction the factor would
be 2.0.

With Aspect, the aspect ratio of the source is maintained: in the above mentioned example, the pixels both in
horizontal and in vertical direction would be multiplied by a factor of two, thus the content would have a black
border of 240 pixels both, on the left side and on the right side.

4:3

: if a PAL/NTSC source is connected to an input, the 4:3 setting displays the source without any distortion (e.g.

a circle remains a circle).

In case Auto Adjust is not selected, or the results are not perfect, the timing of the source
has to be manually adjusted to the timing of the monitor using the controls Phase and
Clock.

Both controls are to minimize the interferences (noise). Clock is course adjustment
whereas Phase is fine tuning of the setting.

To do the adjustment, use a test pattern (e.g. vertical stripes) of the connected source!

Scaling

Scaling can be set to Native, Fill, Aspect, and 4:3..

Scaling means changing the resolution of an image.
Native is only enabled when the detected resolution of the source is lower than the resolution of the monitor.
'The monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixel. In case the resolution of the source is lower (e.g. a PAL Video

with 720x540 pixels), when displayed 1:1, there will be a black border around the content.
In case Fill is selected, the content is displayed on the entire screen which, in case the ratio of the source is dif-

ferent from the ratio of the screen (e.g. a PAL Video, 4:3), results in a distortion of the content: with PAL, in hori­zontal direction, the pixels would be multiplied by a factor of 2.6, whereas in vertical direction the factor would
be 2.0.

With Aspect, the aspect ratio of the source is maintained: in the above mentioned example, the pixels both in
horizontal and in vertical direction would be multiplied by a factor of two, thus the content would have a black
border of 240 pixels both, on the left side and on the right side.

4:3

: if a PAL/NTSC source is connected to an input, the 4:3 setting displays the source without any distortion (e.g.

a circle remains a circle).

Film Mode Detect can be selected to be on or off.

Film is usually recorded at 24 frames per second. When converting film to NTSC video (59.94 Hz field rate), 2 film
frames generate 5 video fields (3:2 pull down). Film scenes with high-speed motion objects thus may show mo­tion artifacts.

With Film Mode Detect on, the conversion to NTSC is detected and the original film frames are recreated by

5.3.6.1 Gamma Correction

The Gamma correction factor can be set to 2.2, 1.9, 2.5, and user.

Gamma is the relationship between the color values of the data and the color values displayed e.g. on a screen.
The Gamma coefficient makes it possible to adjust the brightness of the midtones only without affecting the very
bright and very dark areas..

If gamma is set too high, middle tones appear too dark. If it's set too low, middle tones appear too light.
Using Barco’s DCMS software (display consistency management software), the monitor can be calibrated and the

calibrated setting (look-up table, LUT) can be saved in the monitor. The gamma setting "user" activates the last
calibrated value.

6. Maintenance and servicing

6.1 Cleaning

Consult your dealer for internal cleaning once a year.

If you allow dust to accumulate on the unit, it may cause fire or malfunction when you operate it.

Refer to your dealer about the internal cleaning.

Power plug

If dust has collected on the power plug connectors, remove the plug from the outlet and clean off the dust. This
dust may cause a fire due to reduced insulation of the plug.

Cabinet

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning. To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents,
such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet.

Contamination of screen surface.

When the screen surface of the monitor is contaminated, please wipe the surface softly with cotton swab or
clean cloth. If it is not enough, please take it away with cellophane tape or wipe the surface with cotton swab or
clean cloth containing solvent of 50% alcohol. In this case, please be careful so that the solvent does not get in
inside of the LCD module, because it may be damaged.

Water drop on LCD surface

Please do not leave LCD module with water drop. When the display surface gets water drop, please wipe it off
with cotton swab or soft cloth immediately, otherwise display surface will be deteriorated. If water gets in inside
the LCD module, the electric circuits may be damaged.
