Installation
To mount the CPR-30201 in a rack, it is first important you identify the correct holes to mount to. Please see the
following illustration. Note that a ‘U’ starts between the holes that are ½” apart. One very common problem is
trying to install into the wrong holes.
For most rack mount equipment, you can install the fixed rails in the rack and then slide the chassis into those rails.
However, the CPR-30201 is an integrated unit and must be installed completely assembled. This is much easier if
two people do the installation, one in front and one in back.
Because there are multiple styles of racks, we can’t provide detailed instructions on mounting the equipment.
However, there are general instructions at
installation which should help.

The rack ears are widely adjustable. The display depth is 30.25” plus connectors. The ears provide for 2 10-32
screws on each ear.

Video and Audio Connections
Note 1 – The CPR-30201 with KVM provides for connecting to four separate computers using the included
cables. Plug the Gold end of the cable with the Green and Red Audio Connectors into the
appropriate CPU1 through CPU4 connector on the rear of the CPR-30201. The computer end of
the cable provides a Blue HD15 connector for video, a Type A USB connector for the
trackball/touch pad (mouse input) and Red and Green audio connectors. The CPR-30201 does
not provide a microphone but provision is made on the rear of the display for a user provided
microphone to be connected to the Red Audio Connector in the aRGB Console area.
Note 2 – The output from the KVM is available at the aRGB Console connectors, outlined in Gold paint.
The two cables protruding from the right on the rear panel provide aRGB Video Input and Audio
Input to the display. These cables should be connected to the appropriate connectors in the
aRGB Console area.
Note 3 – The KVM provides for a Firm Ware upgrade using a special serial cable provided with the
display. Please see the appropriate area of the KVM section of this manual for instructions.
Leave the small switch in the Normal (right) position for operation.
Note 4 – The KVM provides two USB ports on the rear of the display. These USB ports are connected to
the selected CPU (1-4) when connected via the KVM. These USB ports can be connected by
the user to any USB compatible device.

The CPR-30201 provides a front panel Source selection button for selecting which input signal is to be displayed.
In addition, Picture-In-Picture is supported where the S-Video or Composite video inputs can be displayed as a
small window on top of the aRGB or DVI-D inputs.
An audio amplifier is provided with a computer input source and 2 RCA audio inputs for right and left channel. The
front of the display provides two speakers connected to the audio amplifier. The audio channel can be selected via
the OSD for the computer input or the RCA video input (PIP). There is no provision to output sound from one RCA
input source to both speakers.
The KVM provides switching only for the aRGB inputs. The DVI-D, Composite and S-Video inputs are connected
directly to the display.
Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
The CPR-30201 supports PIP. The PIP window can be sized to Small (approx 1.4x2.0”), Medium (2.9x4.0”) or
Large (4.3x5.6”). There are 5 preset PIP window positions or the window can be moved to a user selected position
through the OSD menus. The PIP window is used to put a smaller video feed window on top of a full computer
display. The PIP button on the front panel can be used to select the video feed to display and the size.
The PIP source can only be S-Video or Composite input on top of either aRGB or DVI-D. The display will not use
either the aRGB or DVI-D as a PIP source. Setting the primary input to either Composite or S-Video disables the
PIP function.
The PIP window turns off when the monitor enters sleep mode, is turned off with the front Power control or is
stowed flat into the rack. To re-establish the PIP window, press the PIP button on the front panel and select the
desired input source and size using the + or – buttons.
NoteThe default PIP source is TV. Whenever PIP is disabled by turning off the monitor or entering sleep
mode, the PIP input source will revert back to TV. After pressing PIP on the front panel, push either the
▲ or ▼ buttons to change to the PIP input selection Quick Menu and then + or ─ to change to the
desired input source.

pressed and the OSD times out returning back to the display.
There is a Factory Reset function under the Misc Adjustments Menu should you completely screw things up and
want to start over. See the right most Misc tab, More Options sub menu, Factory Reset.
Note – Pressing Source with the OSD displayed will over-ride the OSD and change the input source. Source
scans, in order, aRGB, DVI-D, TV, CVBS, SVHS. It is normal for the display to hang in the SVHS mode
while trying to change the source as the controller scans available SVHS modes. When a valid signal is
detected, a small window above the source indicator will display the resolution, frequency, and controller
mode.

Sleep Mode
The display will enter sleep mode (turn off) if there is no input signal to the selected input mode. The delay to enter
Sleep Mode when the signal is not valid is approximately 6 seconds. When in sleep mode, the Power LED will
flash green. Pressing the Power button or Source button will exit the Sleep Mode and the display will scan the
selected input port for a signal. If no signal is present, the display will once again enter Sleep Mode. Note that
having a signal present on another port will not prevent the display from going into Sleep Mode if no signal is
present on the selected port. The display will only scan the selected port and does not auto-scroll through the other
ports.
Note that you can bring up the OSD menu when the display is brought out of Sleep Mode port but the OSD will
disappear when the display again enters Sleep Mode after not finding a signal.
Entering Sleep Mode will disable the PIP and revert to a TV PIP default. Use the front panel PIP to select the PIP
source and size to again display the PIP window. Alternatively, use the OSD to enable PIP.

OSD
The CPR-30201 provides for On Screen Display (OSD) of the controls to adjust the display parameters such as
brightness, contrast, etc. The menus are context sensitive in that there are adjustments specifically for each
Source Input type (analog aRGB, digital DVI-D, S-Video and Composite). This allows you to tune the display for
each type of input without having to retune when changing the Source selection. The display controller stores the
settings in non-volatile memory so they are saved even when power is turned off or removed.
In the following menus, there are many common features and selections between each type of input. However,
some adjustments may not pertain to a particular input signal type so those adjustments are not shown.
Note
The display controller provides a TV function which is not utilized in theCPR-30201. While the TV
menu selections are available in the OSD, none of the TV functions work. Adverse display
behavior may be observed if the TV settings are changed and it is advised they be left set to the
default setting.
OSD Menu Organization
While different adjustments are available for each of the different input types, the menus are similarly organized
and the adjustments have the same effect.
Display Brightness (Fine and Course), Contrast, Phase, Frequency, H Position, V Position
