Introduction

Overview

These 3RU and 4RU rack-mounted MPEG/Video/Audio monitors arethe new benchmark in LCD monitors for broadcast and professional video applications requiring support for both file-based and traditional baseband sources. The monitor has 800 x 480 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-3270 and MPEG-4290 also support 3G/HD-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.

Initially Powering

When the MPEG-3270 or MPEG-4290 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.

Power Buttons

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 steadily, 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.

Optionally, the Optionally, the Panel LEDs can be set so that they aren’t lit when the MPEG-3270 or MPEG-4290 is in operation. This can be useful in dark environments. Refer to the Panel LED option in the

System Menu on page 42.

Input Buttons

The three Input buttons allow quick selection of the various inputs.

HDMI Button

Pressing this button selects the HDMI connection on the back panel as the signal source. When this is selected, the green LED within the

HDMI button glows. To learn how to set up the HDMI audio channels

to be monitored, refer to the Status Menu on page 47.
