2 SAFETY
2.1 Electrical Safety
The Black Opal RMU is designed to operate from low voltage dc power.
Once installed, there are no safety procedures required to protect the operator from
the RMU itself.
NOTE: the On/Off button switches the unit from standby to operating
status, it does not cut the unit off entirely from the external
power input.
2.2 System Protection
The system is internally protected against:
• reverse polarity;
• over-voltage;
• over-current.

4 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
4.1 General Purpose
The Black Opal models RMU have been engineered for a wide range of land-, seaor air-borne display applications including remote/indirect viewing of video images
generated by day, night or thermal cameras.
4.2 General Description
4.2.1 General
Each Black Opal model RMU12H consists of a LCD, a microprocessor unit
(computer) and power & control electronics.
Each unit features MultiVision, providing simultaneous display of two video inputs
and one PC input at full frame rates.
All items are housed within a rugged enclosure containing heating and cooling
mechanisms. The LCD is protected by a tough, antireflection-coated window which
also provides EMI/EMC shielding. All models are button operated.
4.2.2 Display
Images are displayed on a backlit LCD that may be viewed in full direct sunlight
down to full darkness and feature backlight settings suitable for low light viewing,
for viewing with Night Vision Devices and completely off for black-out conditions.
4.2.3 Auto Backlight Reduction
To reduce power consumption, and as part of the Black Opal RMU thermal
management scheme, the backlight will automatically reduce to 300 nits if:
• the current backlight setting is greater than 300 nits; and
• no button has been pressed for more than 120 seconds and the internal
temperature is above a preset limit.
Pressing any of buttons 1 to 5 will cause the system to return to the current
backlight setting.

4.2.4 Upgrades
The Black Opal RMU has been designed so that software upgrades can be
downloaded easily via a PC.
4.2.5 Additional Features
NOTE: Image Enhancement and Digital Zoom are available whenever
the main window in a Screen Lay-out is video, not PC input.
The Black Opal RMU has several features designed to increase the effectiveness
of surveillance, sighting and security systems.
Image Enhancement: video inputs are compensated for obscuration (e.g. rain, fog,
snow, mist or smoke) within an adjustable central window where contrast and
colour are enhanced. For a chosen window size, the enhancement is applied to
that portion of the displayed image.
Digital Zoom: a fully X & Y interpolated “smart” zoom, not merely pixel multiplying,
yields a clear zoomed image without the blocky “pixelated” appearance often seen
with digital zooming.
Freeze Frame: freezes the current prime video channel while leaving live any video
inset.
4.3 System Contents
The Black Opal RMU system consists of:
1 x Black Opal RMU unit;
1 x User’s Manual;
1 x Specification and Set-up document; and
1 x Variant Specification document (if applicable).
plus any options that the purchaser has elected to acquire.
NOTE: the purchaser must supply the appropriate Power, Video and
VGA Cable Assemblies.

6 OPERATION
6.1 Controls
The RMU has eight points of control, being either:
a vertical array of tactile buttons located on the left front face of the unit these are momentary (one result per press) buttons behind a sealed
rubber membrane (smaller models); or
a horizontal array of buttons located on the bottom of the front face of the
unit - these are momentary (one result per press) individually sealed
buttons (larger models).
In either case, the button functions, their labels and their associated menus are the
same.
The functions of the five Function Buttons vary depending upon the screen being
displayed and the level of customisation in the system software. In every case, the
available button function is displayed beside the button on the LCD.
The Scroll/Adjust buttons are available whenever a setting can be varied over a
range. Such settings include backlight intensity, display settings and digital zoom
settings.

6.2 Indicators
There are two indicators (other than screen messages) on the unit:
the On/Temperature indicator - a bicolour LED to indicate (green) when the
unit is on and (red) when either in warm-up mode or in an over-temperature
condition, located between the On/Off button and button 5; and
the Auxiliary indicator - a red LED as an indicator for an external optional,
customer specified auxiliary input, located between the “+” “-“ buttons and
button1.
If the RMU internal temperature is too low, Warm-up Mode will be engaged, and
the On/Temperature indicator will:
in the case of models with a vertical array of buttons under a rubber
membrane - be on continuously red;
in the case of models with a horizontal array of individual buttons - blink red
at 1Hz.
Once the internal temperature is within operating parameters this indicator will glow
green and the unit will fully power up.
If the RMU internal temperature is too high, it will shut down and the
On/Temperature indicator will:
in the case of models with buttons under a vertical rubber membrane – go
off;
in the case of models with a horizontal array of individual buttons - blink red
at 2Hz.

ZOOM or MENU has been selected.
• Zoom can be adjusted at any time by using the scroll/adjust buttons, unless
BACKLT or MENU has been selected.
• Various display settings can be adjusted, once they have been selected through
the menu structure, by using the scroll/adjust buttons.
• Once ENTER has been pressed the previous menu will be presented if no
concurrent options are available, else the current menu will be maintained if
more than one item in it can be enabled or adjusted concurrently.
• Whenever button labels are displayed, the name of the current screen lay-out is
also displayed above the top-most button label.
