The MT232 NAV monitor has a multiplicity of interfaces and coupling possibilities.
The multiple possibilities of the dimming distinguish the monitor.
By several video sources e.g. a picture in picture (Split screen) function can be realized.
Also a cross-linking of the monitors as well as programming and control over serial or LAN is possible.
The USB front interface and a USB Hub 2.0 permits to attach directly at the monitor further devices.
Analog and digital in- and outputs for several control functions e.g. switch on/off power simultaneously from monitor
and PC or to dim complete the comprehensive functions
In the following chapters the functions, settings, menus, interfaces as well as the programming of the monitor are
described. Please read before going in operation the appropriate chapters “start-up” as well as the user and safety
references.
For standard (basis) installation is necessary apart from the current supply a video signal (mostly VGA or DVI), a USB
connection completes the standard installation.
With the power On / Off switch (1) the monitor will be powered up and shut down, without disconnecting the power
supply . The bright LED indicates the switched on condition.
6.2. Brightness
With the keys (2) contrast+ and (3) contrast– the contrast is regulated.
(2) brightness + increments (increased) the contrast
(3) brightness – decrements (decreased) the contrast
6.3. ECDIS-Mode
With the ECDIS key (4) the brightness as well as the colors are set on a certain default value. See also chapter programming.
The bright LED indicates the switched on ECDIS mode.
ATTENTION:
If the ECDIS key is activated (LED on) automatically all other keys (contrast, OSD..)
are not active and cannot be operated.
Likewise no commands and/or programming over the serial and/or LAN (Ethernet) interface can be sent and accomplished.
6.4. OSD Menu
The OSD menu (on screen display menu) serves for adjustment and alignment of the monitor parameters e.g. contrast, brightness, zoom , video source etc..
The menu is divided into a „Quick OSD menu „ as the parameters brightness as well as contrast can be changed,
and a „OSD menu„ with all parameters are available.
6.4.1. Quick-OSD-Menu

The front USB connection (9) is to connect directly devices e.g. keyboards, mouse, Memory stick and a fast and
simply operation and/or data handling. If the USB is not used, then this is locked with a rubber cap and thus IP65
protected.
See also chapter interfaces USB
By the interface (11) = USB (PC) the monitor is connected with the PC and thus a connection is realized from the PC
to the monitor front.
Moreover a USB HUB 2.0 is available on the back for further devices.
6.6. Dimming
For the dimming most different possibilities are available:
1. Dimming over the front keys
2. Dimming remote controlled over serial interface as well as over Ethernet
3. Dimming over potentiometers directly attached to the analog input
Characteristic:
The control - LED‘s of the keys are dim linear to the display.

7.2. Protected Ground
In order to ensure a safe derivative from electrical interferences,
the following points are to be considered:
• Connect device and device cabinet as short as possible with a central point of grounding.
• Pay attention to a low inductive connection between device and cabinet
• All data cables attached to the device are to be implemented with protected shield.
• The shields are to be grounded on both sites
• Between the connected systems a low impedance must exist. High balancing currents over the shield as consequence from potential differences are to be excluded.
• Execution of the grounding connection with min. 4 mm² cross section.
7.3. Composite
Composite video is the format of the analog TV signal, before it is modulated on a RF carrier (broadcast and/or television frequency). It is mostly in a standard format like NTSC, PAL or SECAM. It is compound from three source signals,
those with Y, U and V (together YUV) to be called. Y called the brightness of the picture and includes synchronization impulses. Thus this signal can be alone already used for the representation of a gray tone picture. U and V are
carriers of the color information. It rst from two to each other orthogonalen phases of the color carrier signal mixed
to a signal, which color value (chrominance) is designated. Therefore the signals Y and UV are mixed. Since Y is a
baseband signal and is mixed UV with a carrier, the developed signal equivalent is to frequency divided Multiplexing.
Function: Connection between second videos source and monitor to the transmission the video data
e.g. for PIP (Picture in Picture „Split screen“) function
Note:
The selection the videos source(s), synchronization, image position, window position as well as further settings are
accomplished in the OSD menu.

7.4. S-Video
S-Video (also known as Y/C) is a base band analog Video format. It offers a qualitatively better signal than Composite
video, nevertheless a worse than RGB - or Component video. The S-Video format divides the signal into two channels: Brightness (Luminance) and Color (Chroma).
Function: Connection between second videos source and monitor to the transmission the video data
e.g. for PIP (Picture in Picture „Split screen“) function

VGA is the abbreviation for video Graphics adapter or video Graphics array. It denes a computer graphic standard
(EISA 1987), concrete combinations of Picture resolution and color‘s number (bit depth) as well as repetition frequency and is practically identical to the MCGA (Multicolor Graphics adapter) of IBM. On the other hand it stands also
simply for the resolution 640 × 480 Pixels (aspect ratio 4:3) independently of other parameters.
Function: Connection between PC (rst video source) and monitor to the transmission the video data
Note:
The selection the videos source(s), synchronization, image position, window position as well as further settings are
accomplished in the OSD menu.
DVI (digital Visual interface) represents an all digital transmission of video data. Thereby become the quality (which
losses with the transformation of digital data into a analog video signal - and with digital image replication devices with
the transformation back in the digital signal) repaired.
Function: Connection between PC (rst video source) and monitor to the transmission the video data
Note:
The selection the videos source(s), synchronization, image position, window position as well as further settings are
accomplished in the OSD menu.
DVI: Technical data:
Transmission of video data over two TDMS links and in each case 3 channels
Maximum pixel clock per channel: 330 MHz
Data transmission rate up to 1,65 Gbit/s
Resolution when using DVI monitors: 2048 x of 1536 pixels
Single Link up to 1600 x 1200 pixel
Dual Link up to 2048 x 1536 pixel
Over the DIP switches the serial interfaces mode as well as the monitor address can be adjusted.
With the distribution (default) are all DIP switches on OFF. This meant, the monitor is adjusted in address 0 in RS 232
mode.
4 DIP switches are for coding addresses, 16 addresses can be realized binary (0 – 15).
Therefore it is possible to connect 16 monitors over the RS485 interface.
RS-232: Interface serves for the data communication. Data will be transfered as ASCII code (American standard code
OF information inter-CHANGE). The RS232 represents a voltage-referred interface, and is thus only for short cable
lengths by approx. 10m - 15m suitably.
RS-485: bus interface operates as RS422 in the opposite clock mode; however only two lines are needed, which are
half duplex. The RS-485 makes connection possible of several transmitters and receivers with the help of a protocol
(up to 32 participants). The ISO standard 8482 plans a maximum cable length of 500 meters. With capacity and/or
absorption-poor, in pairs stranded (twisted pair) cable, can be increased the distance between two terminals: RS485
supports thus cable lengths of up to 1.2 km.
Function: Connection between PC and monitor to congure, control and read status. In the RS232 mode point to
point connection, in the RS485 mode interlacable to 16 monitors. Functions such as status read (rmware, version,
display ID…), control (brightness, backlight, potentiometer…) as well as congure (IP address, subfunctions of the
OSD menu…) are made available. (see chapter programming)
RS232 Mode
RS485 Mode
Note:
In the RS485 mode the two interfaces can be used as (In/Out) that means one cable in the 1st. Com port and one
cable in the 2nd. Com port.
In RS 232 mode only one of the two interfaces can be used (no matter whichone) don’t connect the unused port with
any cable.
The mode (RS232/RS485) as well as an addressing of the monitors are made over DIP switch, see also for this the
chapter “DIP- witches” and “programming”.
Ethernet is one frame based computer cross-linking technology for local networks (LAN). It denes cable types and
signaling for the bit transmission layer (physical layer) and package formats and protocols for the medium access
supervision (Media Access Control, MAC) Link layer of the OSI Models. Ethernet is as far as possible in that IEEE
standard 802.3 standardizes. Ethernet can be the basis for network protocols , like e.g. TCP/IP .
Function: Connection between PC and monitor to congure, control and read status.
Functions such as status read (rmware, version, display ID…), control (brightness, backlight, potentiometer…) as
well as congure (IP address, subfunctions of the OSD menu…) are made available. (see chapter programming)
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a Bus system for the connection of a Computer with external Devices for the exchange
of data. The USB is by the relatively high possible data rates and the automatic recognition of devices and their
characteristics for the connection of nearly all device types of Mouse and Keyboard up to Non removable disks and
Cameras suitably. The number of USB connections of a computer can also increased by USB HUB.
