Introduction

Overview

This 2RU rack-mounted MPEG/Video/Audio monitor is the new benchmark in LCD monitors for broadcast and professional video applications requiring support for both file-based and traditional baseband sources. The monitor has 480 x 272 screen resolution, antiglare TFT screens, and fully digital signal processing. It supports H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10, also known as AVC/H.264 or Advanced Video Coding. It also supports H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2. These are decoded from MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) containers in ASI or IP transport interfaces. The TS container format can be either 188 bytes or 204 bytes. Error correction bytes are not used. It does not decode encapsulated transport streams in other formats, such as QuickTime (MPEG4/ H.264). The MPEG-2443 also supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI and HDMI. All video formats are scaled to native screen resolution in the highest quality using precision scaling and gamma correction to produce the best images available.

Safety

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:

IMPORTANT:

Do not use this equipment near water, rain or moisture.

1. Read, keep, and follow all of these instructions; heed all warnings.

2. Use only a dry cloth to clean the equipment.

3. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install only in accordance

with the instructions in the section Installation Recommendations

on page 3.

4. Do not install near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register,

amplifier, or stove.

5. Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.

6. Do not attempt to plug the unit into a two-blade outlet (with only

two prongs of equal width).

By design, these audio/video monitors will only plug into a threeprong outlet for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,

particularly at the plug’s source on the equipment and at the

socket.

8. Use only the attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

9. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing will be

required under all of the following conditions:

821063: MPEG-2443 User Guide

been exposed to rain or moisture, or liquid has been spilled onto the equipment.

WARNING:

The symbol to the left warns of electric shock hazard inside the unit. Disconnect the power cord before removing access panels when installing upgrades. Only qualified service personnel are to operate the equipment with covers removed, and are to exercise caution to avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment from overheating.

Installation Recommendations

Mounting

The unit is designed to install into a standard 19" rack mounted at eye level for best visual observation of the monitor screen. Please adhere to the following clearances to provide adequate ventilation:

Clearance Surface

24” Front

3” Rear 2” Sides

1.75” Top and Bottom

Heat Dissipation

This monitor contains four very quiet fans, so no special physical mounting considerations are necessary regarding heat dissipation except under adverse conditions, provided the ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure does not exceed 40°C (104°F).

Adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity

Chapter 3 Operation

Initially Powering the MPEG-2443

When the MPEG-2443 is powered for the very first time, it will look to

the SDI-A input as its source. Thereafter, it will power up with the

input that was selected when it was last powered down.

NOTE:

The MPEG-2443 contains much sophisticated and powerful signal processing circuitry. This circuitry takes a relatively long time (approximately 65 seconds) to become fully operational when it is powered. This is normal operation.

Power Butto ns

There is an individual Power button per screen and each may be powered on or off individually. A single press of the Power button

starts the power on sequence, which will take approximately 65

seconds. During this time, the Power LED will blink. For the first 30

seconds, there will be no indication on the screen, but thereafter, various progress bars and startup screens will appear. When the

Power LED is lit steady, the power on sequence is complete.

To power a screen down, hold the Power button for 4 seconds. The screen will turn off, as will the Power LED. The 4 second delay is

intended to prevent accidentally turning off a screen while it is in use.

Input Button

The Input button allows quick selection of the various inputs. Pressing

the knob to select the input needed.

A Preset represents a specific configuration of all of the Menu items. Each screen can have up to 6 Presets which can be recalled at any time to reconfigure. The Preset Menu lets you save, recall, and assign a name to a preset for each MPEG-2443 screen and is shown in Figure 4–

11 on page 49.

To offer you maximum configuration flexibility, you can:

• Save Menu changes to one of 6 Presets.

• Load/Recall one of the 6 Presets.

• Name a Preset using up to 14 characters.

• Enable/Disable the display of the Preset Name on the OSD over the

Technical Functional Overview

Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
