Notes
This document is intended to be used as a reference guide to supply useful inform ation for a design or installation. It is not
intended to be a step-by step procedure for installation.
Any ceilings or walls must be strong enough to support the display system and the installation must be in accordance with any
local building codes. All mounts should make secure contact to wood studs.
4:3 sources can be displayed on the 16:9 screen in either normal aspect ratio with bars on the left or right, or stretched
horizontally to fill the screen using the menus (see “Aspect Modes” in menus and user manual).
The recommended PC resolution is 1365 x 768, next recommend ed resolution is 848 x 480
Distances are in inches, for millimeters multiply by 25.4.
Distances may vary ±5%.

Connections
Connections should be made as described below.
1) Connector on the plasma monitor side: EXTERNAL CONTROL connector.
Type of connector: D-Sub 9-pin male
2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port (RS-232C) connector. See the specifications of the equipment that
is to be connected for the type of connector and the pin assignment.
3) Wiring
Use a crossed (reverse) cable.
Communication Parameters
(1) Communication system Asynchronous
(2) Interface RS-232C
(3) Baud rate 9600 bps
(4) Data length 8 bits
(5) Parity Odd
(6) Stop bit 1 bit

Data
Check sum
Command1
Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to distinguish each command.
When making it operate using ID, bit1 and bit0 are set up as follows.
Bit1,Bit0 Unit ID distinction bit
11B :Usually, a form (with no ID)
10B :Usually, a form (with no ID)
01B :Set ID
00B :Video wall ID
In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and data of the
supported equipment have been received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this indicates that
unsupported commands and data have been received.
Unit ID1,2 (UA1,UA2)
Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the equipment that is to be connected.
60H is used for the plasma monitor and 80H is used for external control equipment such as a personal computer.
Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal. When supporting Set ID
by the command 1, 4 bits of low ranks of Set ID are set up.
Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal. When supporting Set ID by the command 1, 4 bits of higher ranks of
Set ID are set up.
* Set ID : it is the apparatus number assigned to each plasma monitor.
Command 2
Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to distinguish each command.
Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity are used together for a check of the received data. The check sum
is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of sent or received data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2,
Command 2, Data Length, and Data.

Total 208H
2) Error Processing
• When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be recognized. If, at
this time, meaningful data cannot be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as valid data).
• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data error, the check sum error, and the receive data are all taken in.
The control method of the set by Set ID
When controlling two or more sets of plasma monitors, if the command using Set ID is used, it will become controllable
individually.
The example of the POWER ON command to the plasma monitor which set ID as "5" is shown below.
It is not based on ID but is the POWER ON command to all sets.
9F 80 60 4E 00 CD
In ID= "5", the value of ID-1=4 is set up.
9D 84 60 4E 00 CF
The example of a change in the single mode of a 4th page multi-system configuration and the multi-mode is shown below.
ID of the set used as a master(etc PC) is set to 50, and it assumes that ID is shaken by AUTO ID to each set. ID shaken at
each set is as follows.
Upper left set (master) ID = 50 = 32h
Upper right set ID = 51 = 33h
Lower right set ID = 52 = 34h
Lower left set ID = 53 = 35h

DD 83 63 03 03 03 03 00 CF
DD 84 63 03 03 03 04 00 D1
Transmission of the above command performs a 4th page multi SPLIT display.
Moreover, the following commands are published in order to change a 4th page multi-display into a single mode display.
DF 80 60 03 03 01 01 00 C7
All sets become a single mode display by the above-mentioned command.
Since this command does not specify Set ID, all sets execute it.
*:Control by ID may not be able to be performed depending on connection with external control apparatus.
