The TFT Monitor Raptor SQ2801 was developed to meet the very demanding requirements in the Air
Traffic Management where system availability and reliability is crucial. Ergonomic criteria have been
addressed to ensure high acceptance from the operators.
Reduced depth and lower weight compared to CRT monitors allow easy installation into workstation
consoles of air traffic control rooms. Considerably lower power consumption and heat emissions are
some of the other advantages over CRT based units.
The TFT technology employed in this design is based on Sharp’s ASV technology and offers very
sharp, undistorted image, right up to the edges. Unlike the CRT counterpart, this technology does not
have problems such as convergence or effects from electro magnetic radiation.
The Raptor SQ2801 is a 28.05“ TFT module with native resolution of 2,048 x 2,048 pixel. Wide
viewing angle of 170° (horizontally and vertically), a contrast ratio of 1000 : 1 and maximum
brightness of 210 cd/m² enable very clear and sharp pictures with color depth of 16.7 million colors.
is backward compatible with Sony’s DDM
The Raptor SQ2801 product has two dual link DVI-D (digital) inputs and one analog input. OSD (on
screen display) allows control of various configurable parameters such as brightness, contrast and
input switching. These parameters can also be controlled via RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces.
Remote control software is available from Tech Source.

1.4 Instructions for Handling Components Susceptible to Electrostatic
Shocks
Most of the assemblies within the LCD monitor Raptor SQ2801 contain components which can be
permanently damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Such resulting damage may or may
not result in total failure of the components or modules affected.
The following precautions must be strictly observed when handling such assemblies (this work should
only be carried out by qualified service technicians):
• When handling electronic components, care should be taken to prevent electrostatic
discharge. Such discharge may occur when handling components or modules without
suitable precautions to ensure adequate grounding.
• This also applies to all (insulated) tools. They must also be discharged to earth at all times.
• When assemblies are removed or added to the system, the unit must always be switched off
and unplugged from the power supply.
• Vulnerable components should always be held by their edges. Avoid touching circuit paths
and contact pins.
1.5 Cleaning
Clean the monitor periodically to keep the monitor clean and extend its life.

10 2 General Installation
2.2 Installing the Monitor
The Raptor SQ2801 is currently offered in two versions - desktop version and chassis version. Both
these version are discussed in this section.
The desktop version is a “standalone” unit that can be placed on top of a desktop console. As for the
chassis version, it is easy to integrate it onto the rear of control panel or a console by using two
mounting brackets.
Please note the following for safe and proper operation:
Ambient Temperature
In order for the LCD monitor to maintain an optimum operating temperature while in use, air must be
allowed to circulate freely around the Raptor SQ2801 enclosure. This is especially important for the
rear of the unit. Convection current must be allowed to circulate around the enclosure.
Please bear in mind that increased temperatures may result in on-screen defects and significantly
reduced lifetime of the panel.
EMC – Radiation
The LCD monitor is a piece of equipment designed for integration into an industrial system. The
operator of the entire plant is responsible for maintaining electromagnetic compatibility according to
EMC laws.
Safety Aspects
All voltage and signal connections must adhere to legal requirements.
Ergonomics
The screen comes with anti-reflective glass. However, it should be installed/positioned properly to
allow easy viewing from all sides.
Mechanical Integration
The chassis version is secured into a system by 6 bolts (M6 x 10). These bolts can be used for
attaching mounting angles which allow mounting the monitor in a control panel or a console (see Fig.
4, Page 13). The dimensions in the drawings are all in mm.

2.3.1 Analog RGB – Interface
The analog RGB input may be used for Sony DDM compatible configurations. However, the Raptor
SQ2801 panel can also handle all common VESA timings. When using this interface, specific
adjustments for phase and frequency may be necessary. These adjustments are explained in detail in
section 3.3 on page 40.
For connection with the analog video source, a high quality coaxial cable must be used. The three
video signals (red, green and blue) require 50 ohm impedance on the coaxial cable while the
synchronization signals (hsync and vsync) must have 75 ohms impedance. Signal cables of poor
quality may cause distortions and shadowing in the displayed picture.
Technical data pertaining to the analog RGB interface is discussed in section 5.6 on page 54.

22 2 General Installation
2.3.2 DVI-1 / DVI-2 Interface
The digital video inputs use the standard dual-link DVI interface. Dual-link DVI is necessary to support
the high data rate (dot clock) as required by this high resolution of 2048 x 2048. However, the monitor
also supports lower resolutions (e.g. VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, etc.) using a single link DVI
cable. This feature can be useful during boot up on some machines that use a lower resolution during
start-up.
The monitor provides EDID information (Extended Display Identification Data) to the host system
(workstation) via the DDC (Display Data Channel) protocol. This data includes, in addition to the
standard VESA timing, a special timing for 2048 x 2048 @ 60 Hz that is designed to use pixel
frequencies below the DVI maximum.
If the connected workstation/graphics card does not support DDC, it can be configured manually as
described in section 5.7 on page 55. In addition to this specific timing, all others timing that are part of
the DVI specification are displayed.
Video cables up to 5 meters in length may be used for the connection between the graphics card and
the display.
This RS232 interface is used for communication with the host machine (workstation). Three different
protocols are available which are described in chapter 4 on page 42.
In addition, this interface is used for monitor firmware updates
This RS232 interface is used for communication with the host machine (workstation). Three different
protocols are available which are described in chapter 4 on page 42. The additional handshake
signals serve to communicate with a workstation via the DDM protocol.
Only the RS232-1 interface can be used for monitor firmware update.
The RS422 interface is used for communication with the host machine (external PC, workstation).
Three different protocols are available which are described in chapter 4 on page 42.
This connector is for an external passive keyboard which has exactly same functionality as the
buttons on the front of the panel, used to control the OSD (on screen display) (see section 3.1, page
27).
An external keyboard allows operation of the monitor when the front side keyboard is not accessible
or is absent. Cable length for this external keyboard should not exceed 7 meters.
The keys of the external keyboard pull the signal to ground (see following sketch).

3 Operation and Adjustment 39
3.3 Adjustment Analog Signal Source (DDM)
There is no strict standardization for the signals coming from analog signal sources. Certain
adjustments are therefore necessary, depending on the graphics adaptors and used cables. When
the Raptor SQ2801 is connected to an analog signal source for the first time, an integrated “automatic
adjustment” function performs this adjustment. It uses the H and V frequencies of the input signal to
adjust the frequency, phase and picture position of the image. Depending on the quality of the
displayed image, it may be necessary to tweak the image manually.
3.3.1 Adjustment Phase and Frequency
The two most important parameters of an analog signal are frequency and phase adjustments.
Frequency adjustment precisely indicates the total number of pixels per line.
With phase adjustment, the capture point of a pixel is determined. See the illustration below.
For adjustment of frequency and phase, pictures with plenty of vertical stripes (ideally alternating
black and white columns) are very useful. A test pattern like this allows simple adjustment of
frequency and phase.

40 3 Operation and Adjustment
With bad frequency adjustment from left to right, parts of the picture appear blurred. Each alteration of
the frequency increases or decreases the number of blurred fields. Correct setting is achieved when
the whole screen has the same appearance. The picture may appear blurry, but it should be
homogeneously across the whole screen. Blurry or messy lines will be compensated for by phase
adjustment.
bad frequency adjustment correct frequency adjustment
NOTE
3.3.2 Automatic Phase Adjustment
During normal operation, the monitor will heat up, causing marginal phasing between the pixel clock
and the video signal. Enabling the automatic phase adjustment in the OSD will allow the monitor to
compensate this. This function performs tests every 5 minutes for phasing in the pixel clock and
readjusts itself if a deviation is detected.
NOTE
When DDM compatible timings are used, frequency adjustment may not get modified.
Frequency has to be set to 2816. All graphic adapters which are used in air traffic control
(ATC) use this setting.
For best results, the automatic phase adjustment function requires that text or lines are visible
on the screen. These areas are used to evaluate the degree of phasing.
3.4 Adjustment of Backlight Brightness / Automatic Backlight Control
The monitor has an integrated automatic backlight control function which keeps backlight brightness
constant. If this function is enabled, the backlight value of the OSD is scaled to “cd/m²”.
This mode allows the user to set the backlight brightness to a value between 30 and 150 cd/m².The
TFT module’s maximum brightness is 210 cd/m² (with new backlight tubes). The difference from 150
to 210 cd/m² is used to compensate for old-age brightness leakage of the backlight tubes.
If automatic brightness control is disabled, the value can be set between 0 and 100 %.
3 Operation and Adjustment 41
4 Serial Communication
There are two channels for serial communication available, in which one channel can be used
alternatively as RS232 or RS422 interface.
Channel 1
Channel 2
Switching between RS232-2 and RS422 is done in the OSD menu.

There are three different transmission protocols available:
Standard Protocol
This protocol supports all adjustments and controls of the monitor.
Simplified Protocol
This protocol has a simplified structure, and only allows the adjustment of brightness, contrast and
backlight brightness. It can also query the monitor’s system status for information such as error
messages, temperature, active source and operating time.
DDM-Protocol
This protocol is used in Sony-DDM compatible systems.
The following table shows which protocols are available for each of the different interfaces:
Standard Protocol
Simplified Protocol
DDM-Protocol
RS232-1
RS232-1 RS232-2 RS-422
RS232-2* RS-422
* The RS232-2 interface has additional handshake signals which are needed for communication via DDM-protocol.
42 4 Serial Communication
4.1 Standard Protocol
The standard protocol supports all adjustments and control of the monitor. This protocol uses two
kinds of data packet types. Packet format called “Operation” is used for adjustments such as
brightness, contrast and backlight brightness. The packet type called “key simulation” is used to
operate the OSD via serial interface.

4.1.3 Calculation of CRC - Check Sum
For CRC check sum calculation set 0x00 for CRC-L and CRC-H. Check sum is calculated according
to a reference table.
WORD CalculateCRC16(BYTE *pcData, int nCount)
{
BYTE cCRCHi = 0xFF; // high byte of CRC initialised
BYTE cCRCLo = 0xFF; // low byte of CRC initialised
BYTE cIndex; // will index into CRC lookup table
while (nCount--) // step through each byte of data
{
cIndex = cCRCHi ^ *pcData++; // calculate the CRC
cCRCHi = cCRCLo ^ cCRCHiArray[cIndex];
cCRCLo = cCRCLoArray[cIndex];
}
The simplified protocol uses a data packet structure similar to the standard protocol, however with
reduced functional range. Calculation of CRC check sum is similar to description in section 4.1.3 page
46.

4.3 DDM-Protocol
The DDM-Protocol and its commands have been defined for operation with Sony DDM compatible
monitor. The Raptor SQ2801 only implements those commands which the monitor supports. All other
commands will simply return success.
This protocol is only supported by RS232-2 or RS422 interface. For this the DDM protocol and the
appropriate interface must be selected in the OSD.
NOTE
Data transmission with handshake signals is only supported by RS232-2 interface (see
section 2.3.4 page 24).
