OPERATION

About Touchmonitor Adjustments

Your touchmonitor will unlikely require adjustment. Variations in video output and application may
require adjustments to your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display.
For best performance, your touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1280 x 1024.
Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280 x 1024 reso lution.
Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further information, please refer to
Appendix A.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This feature saves you from
having to reset your choices every time you unplug or power your touchmonitor off and on. If there is a
power failure your touchmonitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.

Preset Modes

To reduce the need for adjustment for different modes, the monitor has default setting modes that
are most commonly used as given in the table below. If any of these display modes are detected, the
monitor automatically adjusts the picture size and centering. When none of the mode is matched,
the user can store their preferred modes in the user modes. The monitor is capable of storing up to
7 user modes. The only condition to store as a user mode is the new display information must have
1 KHz difference for horizontal frequency or 1 Hz for vertical frequency or the sync signal
polarities are different from the default modes.
Default modes is as following:
VGA
640 x 48 0 -- 60 Hz
640 x 48 0 -- 72 Hz

640 x 480 -- 75 Hz
640 x 35 0 -- 70 Hz
720 x 40 0 -- 70 Hz
SVGA

128 0 x 1024 -- 70 Hz
128 0 x 1024 -- 75 Hz

Power Management System

The monitor is equipped with the power management function which automatically reduces the power
consumption when not in use.

www.leadingtouch.com

19/27

Mode PowerConsumption

On <30W
Sleep <4W
Off <2W
We recommend switching the monitor off when it is not in use for a long time.

NOTE: The monitor automatically goes through the Power Management System (PMS) steps
when it is idle. To activate the monitor, press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse.

Check the cable connections. Make sure all the cables are connected correctly. Including a
female F Type connector(ANT IN) for VHF/UHF antenna input, a female F Type(MD OUTPUT)
with user-selectable channel 3 or 4NTSC RF output to analog television receiver, female RCA
connectors for stereo left and right audio (white and red) and a female RCA connector for
composite video (yellow). Then insert the adapter whose output plug is into the STB’s DC
socket and the input plug is into the power socket. Put switch which is in the power socket on,
Turn on the television and switch to video mode.
Then Power System will work, and low voltage transformer will supply power to Control
System, ATSC Tuner and Modulator, and the LED Indicator state is red, meaning the STB
state is stand-by. When you turn the stand-by to power state by Remote Control or the press
button on the top of cover, then the LED Indicator state is green and STB is Power State. So
ATSC Tuner can receive VHF or UHF frequency signal and transfer it to low frequency signal,
then Demodulator demodulate the low frequency signal and output the Transfer Stream(TS) to
Decode System, Control System separate the program stream (PS) which come from Decode
System into Video PID and Audio PID, and then Audio Decoder and Video Decoder decode
them separately and output the digital video signal and analog signal is amplified by amplifier
and output to television. Also the digital video signal is converted to analog video signal by
NTSC Encoder and DAC and then output to television.
So you can see the picture and hear the sound in television with the program you select, If
there is no any program stored in the STB, or you want to add new program to program list,
you need to search program by Remote Control, the IR receiver receive the Infra-red which
come from Remote Control and encode it, Control System receive and deal the encoded
signal. If you have connected the STB to analog television receiver with RF cable, you also
can watch television, because the RF signal is modulate by Modulator and the RF output
channel is control by software, you can change it by Remote Control.
This STB provide the capability to automatically switch from Power state to the
Sleep(Stand-by) state after a period of time without user input, and the default period of
inactivity before the equipment automatically switches to the Sleep(Stand-by) state is four
hours. Also you can select the pre-set period of time or turn off this function by Remote Control
in Power sate.

NATIVE RESOLUTION

The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is designed to
perform best. For the Leadingtouch LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the 19
inch size.
In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the
resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.

Input Video 19" LCD

640 x 480 (VGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
800 x 600 (SVGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
1280 x 1024 (XGA) Displays in Native Resolution
The native resolution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in the LCD by the
number of pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is usually represented by the following
symbols:
VGA
640 x 48 0 -- 60 Hz
640 x 48 0 -- 72 Hz
640 x 480 -- 75 Hz
640 x 35 0 -- 70 Hz
720 x 40 0 -- 70 Hz
SVGA
800 x 60 0 -- 56 Hz
800 x 60 0 -- 60 Hz
800 x 600 -- 72 Hz
800 x 60 0 -- 75 Hz
XGA
1024 x 768 -- 60 Hz
1024 x 768 -- 70 Hz
1024 x 768 -- 75 Hz
1024 x 768 -- 72 Hz

www.leadingtouch.com

23/27

SXGA
128 0 x 1024 -- 60 Hz
128 0 x 1024 -- 70 Hz
128 0 x 1024 -- 75 Hz

As an example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically.
Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1280 pixels
horizontally by 1024 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match
the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels
to LCD pixels. As an example, the pixel in column 45 and row 26 of the input video is in column 45
and row 26 of the LCD. For the case when the input video is at a lower resolution than the native
resolution of the LCD, the direct correspondence between the video pixels and the LCD pixels is lost.
The LCD controller can compute the correspondence between video pixels and LCD pixels using
algorithms contained on its controller. The accuracy of the algorithms determines the fidelity of
conversion of video pixels to LCD pixels. Poor fidelity conversion can result in artifacts in the LCD
displayed image such as varying width characters.
