resolution picture. Horizontal resolution is more than 600
TV lines at the center of the picture.
Four color systems available
The monitor can display NTSC, PAL*, SEC AM, NTSC4.43**
signals. The appropriate color system is selected
automatically.
* If you set PAL to ON in the menu, the monitor can also
display the PAL60 signal.

Index number
You can operate a specific monitor among several monitors
by using the index number features.
On-screen menus
You can adjust the settings by using the on-screen menus.
Control S
The CONTROL S signal allows remote control of several
monitors and a VCR through a single monitor.
Blue only mode
In this mode, only a blue signal is displayed on the screen
turning off the red and green signals. This facilitates color
saturation and phase adjustments.
RGB/component input connectors
RGB or component (Y,R-Y,B-Y) signals from video
equipment can be input through these connectors.
Y/C input connector
The video signal, split into the chrominance signal (C) and
the luminance signal (Y), can be input through this
connector, eliminating the interference between the two
signals, which tends to occur in a composite video signal,
assuring video quality.
This manual covers PVM-2950Q and PVM-2950QM. The
model number is located on the rear.
The operating procedures of all models are the same.
