• Even when the input signal is switched from the SDI Input Card, this terminal still outputs the audio signal from the IN1 or IN2 which is selected last time.

IMPORTANT

• Do not use any other input card than the input cards listed on pages 7 and 8. Using other input cards may cause malfunction or damage the monitor. Such malfunction or damage caused by using other input cards cannot be warranted.

• If any equipment is not connected to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any cords to the bridged output (OUT) terminal. Connecting a cord to a bridged output (OUT) terminal will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto terminate function).

• When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video components. (For example, if both the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except during playback. This is caused by that the same video signal circulates between the VCR and the monitor. This is not a malfunction.)

How to Use the External Control

7 About the External Control

This monitor has the REMOTE (remote) terminal that is used for the operation by an external control. You can select the following control methods according to the setting of “REMOTE SYSTEM” in SET-UP MENU:

• MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.

• TRG. (trigger system): Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal.

NOTES:

When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system), you can select how to change the input by the external control as follows:

A–D (4-pin control): Changes the input by short-circuiting any one signal line of INPUT A to INPUT D. A/B (1-pin control): Selects INPUT A or INPUT B by short-circuiting and opening only 2nd pin terminal. In this setting, you cannot change the

“INPUT REMOTE” in SET-UP MENU is set to “A/B.”

*2 These pin terminals are not in use when “INPUT REMOTE” in SET-UP MENU is set to “A/B.” Do not connect these

pin terminals in such a case.

*3 The 14th pin terminal (External control) should be controlled by the make contact system even when selecting

“TRG.” (the trigger system).

*4 Short-circuiting the 14th pin terminal (External control) enables operating other functions listed above by the

external control.

ENGLISH

Operation

1. Short-circuit the 14th pin terminal (External control) to the 15th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be

controlled by the external control.

2. When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system), operate each function by short-circuiting the

corresponding pin terminal to the 15th pin terminal (GND) or opening it. When selecting “TRG.” (the trigger system), operate each function by Pulse control, that is short-circuiting the

corresponding pin terminal to the 15th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second.

NOTES: When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system):

• You cannot use the following buttons on the front panel:

UNDER SCAN, COLOR OFF, ASPECT, INPUT SELECT

“REMOTE ON!” appears on the screen if one of those buttons is pressed.

• When more than one terminal of INPUT A to INPUT D are selected (short-circuited), inputs are given the alphabetical priority (A, B, C, D). (We

recommend using an interlock switch which turns off a switch when another switch is turned on.)

When selecting “TRG.” (the trigger system):

• You can use the buttons on the front panel.

• You can operate only one function at a time. (We recommend using a switch which turns on only while it is pressed down.)

The following are not malfunctions:

• When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and will disappear when another image is displayed.

• You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.

• The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality appears on the screen as well.

• If two or more monitors are placed close each other, their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon is due to mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move the monitors away from each other until the interference disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not being used.
