9.1Composite Video
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,
called Y, U and V (together YUV).
Y represents the brightness of the picture and includes synchronization impulses. Thus this signal alone can be used for the representation of a gray tone picture. U and V are carriers of the color information. It first from two to each other
orthogonal 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.

9.5Serial Interfaces
The RS232 interface serves for the data communication. Data will be transferred as ASCII code. The RS232 represents a voltage-referred interface, and is
suited only for short cable lengths by approximately 10-15 meters.
The RS485 bus interface operates as RS422 in opposite clock mode; however
only two lines are needed; these are half duplex. It is possible to connect several
transmitters and receivers via RS485 with the help of a protocol (up to 32 participants). The ISO standard 8482 plans a maximum cable length of 500 meters.
The distance between two terminals can be increased with capacity and/or absorption-poor, in pairs stranded (twisted pair) cable: RS485 supports thus cable
lengths of up to 1.2 km.
Function
Connection between the PC and the monitor to configure, control and read status, either point-to-point with RS232 connection, or connection up to 16 monitors in RS485 mode. Functions such as status read (firmware, version, display
ID), control (brightness, backlight, potentiometer) as well as configuration (IP
address, subfunctions of the OSD menu) are available.

Interfaces and Functions
9.6LAN/Ethernet (RJ45)
Ethernet is a frame based computer cross-linking technology for local networks
(LAN). It defines 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 Model. 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 the PC and the monitor to configure, control and read status. Functions such as status read (firmware, version, display ID), control
(brightness, backlight, potentiometer) as well as configuration (IP address, subfunctions of the OSD menu) are available.

9.8Analog IN
Target Application
The analog input can be used for dimming by voltage externally put on. The input dims several monitors at one time.
Alternatively an external potentiometer (approximately 10 kohm - 100 kohm)
can be attached as voltage divider.
Function
10 V = full brightness and 0 V = completely dark if the analog input is activated
by the controller.

Target Application
The input controls the buzzer or the digital outputs. It can be also used to activate features e.g. the analog similar dimming. It is also possible to use different
brightness ranges (day, dusk, night) by activating a certain dim value. The exact
function must be programmed into the firmware.
Function
The contacts “Digital IN 1 - 3” are activated by the controller. They can be
linked with the outputs “Digital OUT”, or their conditions can be sent over the
serial or LAN interface.

9.11 Remote Power
Target Application
This switch is used to control (off and on) the picture signal giving PCs remotely. The MT 230 Nautic Monitor has an appropriate input, so that the OFF/ON
goes from monitor and PC synchronously, the PC should switch itself on automatically when putting on supply voltage.
Function
The contact is closed if the power key is pressed approximately 1 second, and
opens again if the power key is released.

DIP Switches
10DIP Switches
The serial interfaces mode as well as the monitor address can be adjusted via the
DIP switches.
By default, all DIP switches are set to OFF. This means that the monitor is set
to address 0 and RS232 mode.
4 DIP switches are used to set addresses, and 16 addresses can be realized binary
(0 – 15), which means that 16 monitors can be connected via RS485.

Power Supply
11Power Supply
The MT 230 Nautic Monitor is certified for the connection to protective
grounded supplies according to EN60950.
The power supply is 230 V AC with 1A T fuse.
11.1 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 sides
– 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.
