ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
The MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor includes the following advanced technologies:
- CYBERSCREEN®: digital technology that allows the optimization of the picture quality all over the screen, corners included.
- MAGNETOMETER: the magnetic field inside your monitor may dramatically change whenever you tilt or swivel the monitor, or when you bring a magnetic object, e.g. an audio speaker, close to the monitor. Changes to the magnetic field around a monitor can cause distortion of the image displayed on the screen. The automatic magnetic field compensation circuitry (horizontal component of earth magnetic field) of your MGD 203/ MGD 403 monitor, immediately correct these effects thus keeping the image always sharp.
- ABC: Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) function, when enabled, adjusts automatical­ly Brightness and Contrast according to the ambient light.
- Black Level Stabilization: The circuit reduces the time necessary to have a stabilized brightness level from 20 minutes to less than 4 minutes. The BLS circuit also automatically compensates the normal brightness decay due to the aging of the CRT.
- Digital Brightness Uniformity: thanks to the CyberScreen Technology, the screen brightness can be digitally controlled all over the screen, making possible to have a >90% brightness uniformity.
- Digital Control: all the monitor parameters, and display functions are accessible either via the Service Software package or by means of a set of direct commands, making it easy to remotly control the unit either from the System Console or from the Application Program.
- Digital Geometry Control: Full digital control of all geometry parameters to improve the overall performances (geometry up to 1% - linearity up to 5%)
- Brightness Calibrator: The optional MAP 201 HW/SW tool allows you to recalibrate the unit and to even improve the brightness uniformity of the image all other the screen.
- Input Connection: Your new monitor can be operated either through the 3 (5) BNC input or via the 15 pin mini D-sub inputs to give you the maximum flexibility.
AGAS
The CRT of your new MGD203/MGD403 is finished with “AGAS” treatment, one of the most effective Anti-Glare/Anti-Static screen coating. With this treatment the intensity of reflected light is reduced to less than 0,5%, the picture contrast and sharpness remains unimpaired, and cleaning the screen is made easier.
MAIN FEATURES
ENGLISH 6
AUTOSCAN
This feature allows you to use your monitor with a wide range of video cards: the MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor will automatically synchronize at all horizontal frequencies in the range 30 - 95 KHz and vertical frequencies in the range 50-170 Hz, and will automatical­ly discriminate the specific operating mode.
CATHODE RAY TUBE
This new monitor incorporates a special monochrome 17”/21” CRT for brilliant and high contrast image (approximately three times the brightness of a standard monochrome CRT). The Flat Square screen has P45 phosphor for best performance, high resolution in­line electron polygon DAF (Dynamic Astigmatism and Focusing) triple gun and AGAS coating.
DDC (DISPLAY DATA CHANNEL)
This feature allows your operating system and application software to retrieve the display identity information directly from the display device.
Note: the DDC feature works only if the monitor is connected to the PC by a mini D-Sub 15 pins / mini D-Sub 15 pins video signal cable as explained in the chapter Connecting your monitor’ .
ENVIRONMENT
All the package materials are recyclable. This monitor does not contain any: Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB), Polyc. Diphenylether (PCDE), Polybromated Diphenylether (PBDE), Asbestos and Cadmium. The complete manufacturing process of the monitor does not emit the following sub­stances: Chlorinated Fluorohydrocarbons (CFC), Acrylonitrile, Styrol, Phenol, Benzol and Heavy Metals.
HARDWARE OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY)
An easy to use OSD menu allows the user to control and adjust some monitor parame­ters: Tilt, Hor. & Vert. Phase, Hor. and Vert. Size.

1GUN / 3 GUNS BRIGHTNESS
This function allows to select (via OSD menu) between Low Brigtness Mode (even better picture sharpness and reduced eye strain) and High Brightness Mode (full brightness).
WARNING: This function is available only if “1-BNC” input is selected since it has no much sence with color video cards.
MAP 201 - Calibration Package (optional)
Specifically designed for the Triple Gun monochrome monitor series, this package con­sists of a calibration software and an high sensitivity light probe sensor. The calibration package allows precise calibration of: brightness uniformity across the entire area, black level and white level, moreover it allows the user to correct the beam convergence from edge to edge for optimum display sharpness and accuracy.
ORBITING
The MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor includes a circuit specifically developed to increase the Cathode Ray Tube phosphors life-time by slightly moving, on a circular orbit, the entire dis­played image.
DAISY CHAIN INTERFACE
The two 9-pin DSUB (male and female) connectors are parallel-wired RS485-like Multi­Point Serial Interface to allow the connection of up to 15 units in daisy chained configura­tion, each one having unique address in the range from 1 to 15. The maximum total cable lenght between monitors is 15 m. If Daisy Chain Mode is ENABLED the RS232, KEYBOARD and ABC controls are trasmit­ted to all the other monitors and at the same time executed inside the monitors. (see specific chapter for details)
AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The ABC feauture automatically adapts the contrast/brightness level to the ambient light (measured with a special sensor). The ABC function is selectable in one of the following three modes:
Active control range : 10 - 1000 lux ambient on the photo-sensor
ABC - FULL Adjustable Reduction Effect via OSD (20% - 100%) ABC - REDUCTION Derived from ABC - FULL ABC - OFF No reduction (100%) In case of daisy chain connection only one unit can be allowed to be “ABC master” (fly­ing master concept). See also pages 18 and 25 of this user manual.
SHOW CONFIGURATION
Via OSD it is possible to display the monitor unit information: firmware release, total working hours (to keep track of the real usage of the monitor), active video mode, horizontal and vertical frequencies.

Note:
REFERENCE SETTING
Five different ‘pairs’of brightness and contrast combinations can be defined, and stored in the monitor and selected via OSD menu. This feature is particularly attractive for OEMs using the monitor with multiple systems wich will save a lot of time in the facto­ry and in the field as well (‘tailoring’ of the monitor adjustments on the specific system is no more needed).
POWER MANAGEMENT
The MGD 203/MGD 403 is ENERGY STAR compatible (requires “VESA DPMS” compliant signalling). The Power Management feature operates automatically by gradually powering down the monitor in three different status: ON: Display in full operation (GREEN/YELLOW/RED)
depending on reference setting status - see also’ LED LIGHT MEANING TABLE’.
SUSPEND OR STAND-BY: Either Hsync or Vsync is missing, the power con sum-
ption is less than 15 W, (Yellow blinking LED).
OFF: Both H & V signals are inactive, the power consum-
ption is about 3 W, LED off). This function can be easily disabled in a safe and permanent way through the Hardware OSD (Mode/Power Saver). The manufacturer is a partner in the EPA’s Energy Star computer program. The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any product or ser­vice.
PRE-SET MODES
The monitor memory can store the geometry display parameters of each operating mode up to 28 modes (12 of them are factory pre-set; see appendix 4), thus allowing to auto-size the picture for the detected mode. For any “not found” mode, the microprocessor will automatically store the geometry set­tings as adjusted by the user in the first free location. The user has the possibility to change the adjustments at any time.
RESOLUTION
The maximum resolutions displayable on the screen are: MGD203 : 1280 x 1024 @ 90 Hz MGD403 : 1600 x 1280 @ 72 Hz
UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
This unit will automatically detect and power up at any line voltage and frequency all over the world with no intervention of the operator.
