A VIEWPORT display is rugged. As a
precaution though, please consider the
following general characteristics of AMTFT

Please handle the panel with care. Since
the panel is made of glass, sharp blows to
the screen, failure after dropping onto a

are available. Please also take care to

avoid electrostatic discharges.

When a panel is not installed, place it in its

packing material or place it face down on

a smooth table.

After several thousand hours of operation,

the special internal fluorescent lamps will

eventually taper in their brightness. Please

consult the factory for replacement.
High voltages are present inside the

cabinet for the fluorescent lighting. There
are no fuses or other user-serviceable
parts inside. Do not remove any screws or

disassemble the cabinet to stay safe and

retain the Warranty.

to

Use only factory-specified power supplies
for powering the panel.

A wet, condensing atmosphere (dew or
fog) should be avoided. If you require
routine operation in these conditions,
please consult the factory (optional
cabinets are available).

Note the normal operating and storage
temperatures in the specifications. Do not
place the unit in the sun, as the black
cabinet can absorb a considerable amount
of heat. Extreme temperatures, just as
uncomfortable for people, will cause
degraded performance or permanent LCD

Over long periods of time, some changes

in luminance uniformity or small dots may

become visible, depending on image

content.

Avoid fixed video patterns for extended

periods of time. Some image retention

may temporarily occur. If possible, use an

interesting screen saver or black.

Please handle cables and connectors with

care. Please replace worn cables with

standard, locally-available parts (see

power supply substitution caution).

Note that although most Boland screens

• system requirements

Installation

VIEWPORT monitors operate on DC

power and display PC video with a 15
pin VGA connector, composite video
signal with BNC, or S-Video with a 4-pin
mini-DIN (or "S") connectors.

Monitors will display a composite or S­Video from a 525 or 625 standard video
signal at a nominal 1.0 Vpp (when
properly 75
video is 2.0 Vpp unterminated), and are

? terminated, where source

• physical mounting

When mounting the panel on a flat surface,
allow clearance for any connection cords on
the rear. In the corners on the backside of
monitors are 10-32 threaded inserts for
mounting screws. Use screws that don't
penetrate the cabinet more than ½".
Also on the backside of many models are 75
or 100 mm VESA pattern holes. These
holes may accept no. 6, 8, 10, M4, or M5
screws, depending on a model's size and
weight. The VESA holes are typically used
for wall mounts and desk stands.

for use as connected to all normal

baseband video systems. (The "C"

component of the Y/C signal is 0.7 Vpp

nominal.)

The built-in scaler very cleanly displays PC

images from CGA (320 x 480) to WUXGA

(1920 x 1200) resolutions. Boland models

for high resolutions formats, like HDTV, are

available.

Also, up to 15", a ¼-20 (UNC) threaded

socket is on the bottom side (not for vehicle

use).

The LCD monitors dissipate only a few watts

(see specifications), so no special cooling or

ventilation is usually required (except with DB

models). The mounting location may usually

be enclosed. But avoid any mounting

situations with appliance, environmental, or

solar heat sources that may cause the

monitor's operating location to exceed

122°F/50°C.

• power and video connections

VIEWPORT LCD monitors connect like

CRT-type monitors. The connections are
video and power:

Power Connection - 12 Volts DC

Insert the barrel or XLR plug from the
desk-top power supply into the jack on
the back of the panel. The AC side of
the power supply will accept 100-240

VAC, 50/60 Hz. Some monitors have

• computer connections

The "VGA" connection may be made
with the supplied cord, plugging a cord
into the back of the monitor and into
the (back) of the computer. Supply
the monitor with a CGA (320 x 480)
up to a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) signal.
A built-in processor will adjust the
image automatically to fit the screen.

See Page 10 for operation of the fan
switch located here.

YPbPr is connected into the VGA
input on some smaller models, and
optionally on all models. Use the R,

3 Operation

Your VIEWPORT Monitor's On-Screen
menu provides for normal operational
adjustments. These user adjustments
are stored (memorized) separately for
VGA, Composite, and Y/C S-Video, and
separately for both NTSC and PAL
modes.

Push the menu button to bring up the
menu and to step down through the
icons. Starting on the subsequent pages
are all the menu choices and a
description of each item.

For normal operation, set the Brightness

to just be able to see the blackest

portions of the video image, then

Contrast to bring the whitest areas of an

image to just less than wash-out. Then

Operation

High Bright Monitors

Description

The High Brite Option is a factory-installed accessory for an LCD video monitor to boost
its brightness to full daylight readability. The 6, 8, 12, 15 an 19"" displays are specified
at 2150, 1400, 1650, 2100, and 1650 nts (cd/m²) respectively.

Operation

In addition to the standard button
controls of a normal monitor, the menu,
a button, or optionally a knob may be
found on the front panel to control the
brightness of the internal lamps. With a
range of nearly 100:1, the brightness can
be adjusted to outdoor daylight
conditions down to minimum for night
use. Power consumption is quickly
reduced at less than the full setting. The
brightness can be set to any value
without having to change the electronic
video adjustments in the menu
(Brightness in the menu means the video
adjustment of the glow in the black areas
of the picture. Contrast is used to set
the whiteness of the lightest areas of the
picture.)

Note: DayBrite models usually have a fan switch located in the backside/well area. Use

the fan switch to keep the cabinet cool enough to touch. For example, with the bright
knob full clockwise, at noon in the sun, you will need the HI setting. Without sunshine
or full CW, LO or OFF may be sufficient to keep the cabinet cool.

4 Maintenance

A VIEWPORT display requires no
regular/periodic maintenance.

Maintenance

• Cleaning

The standard cabinet finish is semi-gloss
black paint over aircraft aluminum, or the
aluminum cabinet itself is mil-spec black­dye anodized.

• Factory Service

After about fifty thousand hours of service
(as long as 10 years, even if used often,
depending on the Boland model), it may
be possible to notice the screen
brightness start to fall to half or less of its
original level. Or, the internal fluorescent
lamps may not come on at all, or stay on
properly, especially when

Up to 20" screens are non-glare glass. A
damp (not dripping) cleaning cloth with a
small amount of spray cleaner (such as

®

, or Windex®) may be used to remove

dust or fingerprints. You will not want to
have enough moisture on the outside of
the cabinet that liquid would run inside
through the cracks.

the full brightness may be restored by
