Connecting the Video Inputs
The video input cable(s) should be attached to the appropriately labeled ports on the back of the monitor as shown
below. The following inputs are available:
Name Connection Type
VGA (RGB) input D-Sub 15pin (x1)
DVI input DVI-D (x1)
Plug the appropriate end of the power cord into the 3-pronged interface on the back of the monitor. Plug the other
end of the power cord into an outlet and turn the main power switch to on.
MON-VTS42SDI-MT and MON-VTS52SDI-MT touch enabled monitors come preconfigured for use as a touch panel.
To use the touch capability, a connection to the RS232 Touch Control port or USB Touch port must be made to the
system you wish to control with the touch panel. If neither of these ports is used, the monitor functions as a monitor
only, with no touch capability.
Should you ever need to reconfigure the touch panel, the Crystal Touch Manager Configuration Utility CD is included
with the monitor. Please save this CD. To run the Crystal Touch Manager Configuration Utility, a computer with a
CD player must be connected to the monitor with a USB or RS-232 cable.
The monitor comes with two control devices: A side control panel on the monitor and a remote control. This section
covers how to use and maintain these control devices.
Side Control Panel
The side control panel consists of seven push buttons located on the side of the monitor. The side control panel is
shown in Figure 2 below.

VividImage® monitors feature an optical quality
acrylic panel specially coated for superior antireflective properties. The panel can be damaged
(scratched and/or clouded) if improper cleaning
solutions are used. The following products from
STERIS Corporation have been tested on the
panel and can be used for cleaning and
disinfecting to ensure the panel does not become
compromised*:
Coverage Spray HB Plus
STERIS Part # 162477
Coverage Spray TB Plus
STERIS Part # 1629B4
Cabinet
To not damage the powder-coated finish on the
monitor cabinet, the cleaning and disinfecting
products recommended above can be used.
*If the STERIS products are not available, a
mixture of 50% methyl or ethyl alcohol and 50%
water can be used to clean both the panel and
monitor cabinet.
Use a clean, soft, microfiber cloth to apply the
STERIS products and/or the alcohol and water
solution to the panel and cabinet.
Troubleshooting
Please follow these troubleshooting tips prior to
contacting customer support.
The image is not displayed on the screen
- Is the power cord connected properly?
- Are the power cord and AC outlet
functional?
- Are the computer and/or video source(s)
connected to the monitor properly?
- Are the computer and/or video source(s)
turned on?
- Is the main power switch on the back of the
monitor turned on?
- Has an input (video) signal been chosen
(see “Input Signal Selection” on page 13 of
this manual) that correlates to the video
input(s) on the monitor?
- Is the monitor connected to a computer that
is in power-saving mode (check computer
manual for this feature)?
- Is the video cable(s) functional?
The Remote Control does not work
- Is the battery inserted properly with the
positive and negative (+ & -) in the correct
position?
- Is the remote control pointed toward the
monitor?
- The battery may need to be changed.
The image is shifted or not centered
- In the “Display Setting” menu, use the
“position” settings to reorient.
- If using a scope, it may not be centered with
the camera head.
The image is glaring or dark
- Decrease/Increase the brightness of the
monitor by using the “Brightness” submenu
from the “Display” Main Menu.
- Decrease/Increase the “Black Level” of the
monitor by using the “Black Level” submenu
from the “Display” Main Menu.
- If using a camera as the video source,
perform a “White Balance” and check the
“Iris Control” on the camera (see camera’s
operating manual for instructions), if
applicable.
Black Level: This adjustment allows the display to be set to discriminate between small differences in dark or near
black areas of the image. The adjustment should make a black area of the image (such as a deep shadow where all
detail is lost in the image) appear black. The black level is decreased (less black) until a change toward light or grey
is perceived in this area, then the adjustment increases slightly to restore the dark area to black. It is important to
perform this adjustment on a truly black area in the image to avoid making dark areas appear lighter than they
actually are.
Brightness: The intensity of light emitted from the LCD Display. This control is similar to the effect of changing the
light behind a stained glass window. As the illumination is increased the overall light output of the image is increased.
The proper adjustment takes into consideration the ambient light in the room. For a brightly lit room, the brightness of
the display may be increased to improve the visibility of the image. In a dimly lit room, the brightness may be
decreased to reduce the impact on the eye.
Clock: This adjustment is seldom necessary, but if there is a problem with the frequency of the monitor pixel clock
so that it cannot exactly match the clock signal from the camera, an adjustment may be required. The symptom of a
clock adjustment problem is the appearance of vertical bands in the image. Adjusting the clock will help eliminate
these artifacts.
Contrast: Contrast is the differentiation between variations of similar colors. Typically contrast is set by adjusting for
best color differentiation between light yellow and white.
Hue: Hue refers to the “shade” of the colors. These adjustments primarily affect analog signal sources. S-Video,
RGBHV and VGA are analog signals. Adjusting the hue will help to correct abnormalities in the signal. The
adjustment can help restore the “natural” look of the colors.
Phase: This adjustment is seldom necessary, but if there is a problem with the monitor pixel clock phase or position
in relation to the pixel clock generated by the camera, a phase adjustment may be required. The symptom of phase
problems is the appearance of horizontal lines flickering through the image.
Red, Green, Blue Color Adjustment: Increasing the bias of a color increases the proportion of that color in the
image. The level of the selected color is varied equally for all proportions. For example:
Red = 20% 5% Red = 20% + 5% = 25%
Green = 70% 0% Green = 70%
Blue = 40% 0% Blue = 40%
Blue = 30% 0% Blue = 30%
Note that Red has been increased by 5% regardless of its original proportion.
Since increasing the bias will add additional proportions of the color, care must be taken to assure that variations for
very weak and very intense sections of the image do not lose their “Contrast” (ability to detect subtle variations
between colors).
Saturation: Saturation refers to the purity of any particular color component (Red, Green or Blue). For example,
100% Red saturation is 100% Red, 0% Green and 0% Blue. No saturation means all the color percentages are
equal. Changes in saturation will change the emphasis of the selected color component.
