Note

Be sure to keep the monitor’s original box and packing materials in case you need to transport the monitor later.

Setting Up the Monitor

When you select a location for the monitor, keep the following in mind:

‘9

Follow the safety instructions listed at the beginning of this manual.

Use one or more sturdy desks that are strong enough to support the weight of your computer, monitor, and peripheral devices and provide ample space to hold your equipment and work materials.

Do not place the monitor on your computer.

IJ For your comfort, it is best to place the monitor directly in

front of you and sit about an arm’s length away from it.

To minimize glare and reduce eye fatigue, position the monitor so that sunlight, desk lamps, or overhead lights do not shine directly on the screen.

The monitor has one D-Sub (VGA) connector and five BNC connectors. The video interface cable that comes with the

monitor has a VGA connector on each end; you can connect it to the monitor’s VGA connector and to a VGA connector on

your computer.

Professional Series II Monitor 5

Alternatively, you can purchase your own video interface cable and connect it to the monitor’s BNC connectors. See the BNC connector signals table on page 54 to determine which video interface cable(s) and BNC connectors to use with your system.

If your computer or video adapter card does not have a VGA connector, you cannot use the video interface cable that comes with the monitor. Determine the sync requirements of your video controller, see the BNC connector signals table on page 54, if necessary, and purchase the appropriate interface cable(s). Consult your dealer if you need help. Then connect the interface cable(s) to the appropriate connector(s).

Connecting the Monitor to Your Computer

Before you connect the monitor to your computer, you need to make sure your computer and/or video adapter card is set up for use with the monitor. If necessary, install an appropriate video adapter card in your computer and set any DIP switches or jumpers on the card to match the monitor. You may also need to change jumper settings inside the computer. See your computer and/or video adapter card manual for instructions.

Note

If you want to connect two or more monitors to one video controller, see page 10 for instructions.

Follow these steps to connect the monitor to your computer:

Before you connect any cables, make sure the monitor, computer, and all other peripheral devices are turned off. The monitor is off when the power button on the left side of the control panel extends out from the panel, as shown in the following illustration.

Turn the monitor around so the screen faces you and use the tilt and swivel base to position the screen at a good viewing angle. For comfortable viewing, the top of the screen should be slightly below eye level when you are sitting in front of the monitor. (Your line of sight to the screen should be

about 10° to 20° below the horizontal.)

Professional Series II Monitor

Connecting Two of More Monitors to One Video Controller

Using the monitor’s BNC connectors, you can connect two or more monitors to a single video controller for demonstrations and other applications. To connect two or more monitors to one video controller, you need the following:

#-I

One video interface cable with a VGA connector on one end and five color-coded cables with BNC connectors on the other

Five

732

video interface cables with BNC connectors on both ends and five T-BNC connectors (called T connectors here) for each additional monitor.

These cables and connectors are available at computer and electronics stores. For best results, make sure the video interface cables for connecting the monitors to each other are

the same length and impedance. Also, avoid using very long

cables because this may affect the quality of the images displayed on the additional monitor(s).

Note

It is best to connect no more than three monitors to one video controller. If you connect more than three monitors, the image may deteriorate slightly on each additional monitor you connect.

Using Video Modes

A video mode is a collection of display parameter settings that define how the monitor displays an image. The Epson Professional Series II monitor is a multifrequency monitor that can use up to 22 industry-standard and user-defined video modes.

The monitor’s memory contains fourteen factory-set video

modes (described on page 44). In addition, you can create up to eight user-defined video modes.

When the monitor is using a factory-set or user-defined video

mode, the LCD displays Video Mode : number of the current video mode. (If the LCD is off, press the Brightness or Contrast button to turn it back on.) The factory-set video modes are 1 through 14 and the user-defined video modes are 15 through 22.

To customize the screen image, you can modify the display parameter settings for any factory-set or user-defined video mode. If you don’t want to keep your changes to a factory-set video mode, you can recall the original factory settings.

Professional Series II Monitor

n, where n is the

The monitor automatically selects which video mode to use. It analyzes the signal input (the frequency and polarity of the horizontal and vertical sync pulses) from the computer, checks the video modes stored in its memory, and uses the most appropriate mode. The signal input depends on the computer, display adapter card, and application program you are using.

The sections below explain how to modify a video mode, recall

a factory-set video mode, and create a user-defined video mode. For each mode, you can set any of the four display parameters listed in the following table. Refer to this table as

Selecting the Color Temperature

The color temperature of the image determines the mix of red, green, and blue and therefore the shade of white on the screen.

If you want to change the shade of white, you can choose

between two factory-set color temperatures or define your own color temperature as described on page 36.

Of the factory-set color temperatures, color temperature 1

(9300° K) provides a bluer shade of white and color temperature 2 (6500° K) provides a more reddish shade of white.

Note

Changes you make to the monitor’s color temperature apply

to all video modes.

To select a color temperature, follow these steps:

Press FUNCT. The LCD displays the name of a display parameter you can adjust, such as Hor Phase : 4. The number next to the display parameter name indicates the current setting.

Press FUNCT until the LCD displays Color Temp. Pressing FUNCT accesses the display parameters in the order listed in

the following table.
