Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15) Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

16) The apparatus shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

CAUTION!

In products featuring an audio amplifier and speakers, the surface at the side of the unit, where the audio amplifier heat sink is internally attached, may get very hot after extended operation. When operating the unit excercise caution when touching this surface and ensure that external materials which may be adversely affected by heat are not in contact with it. There is a Hot Surface label (see diagram) attached to the aforementioned surface of the product.

RM-3358W Front Panel

Description

The RM-3358W is a color video monitor with a 3RU front panel containing three 5.8" Widescreen Active Matrix TFT LCD displays (16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio) . Each LCD is back lit with a cold cathode fluorescent tube. The LCD’s are mounted in a rotatable cylinder, which allows the operator to rotate the display array ±55° in the vertical plane to provide optimum operator viewing angles. Each LCD display has separate on-screen controls for brightness, contrast, color, tint (NTSC only), and a number of other parameters.

The standard RM3358W unit features two composite analog (CVBS) video inputs per LCD display for a total of six inputs (NTSC and PAL autosensing). One of the two inputs (per display) is selected using a front panel A/B toggle switch. Each of the eight CVBS video inputs has a passive loop-through on a BNC connector and a 75 Ohm/Hi-Z termination select switch.

SDI signals may be monitored with installation of a field-installable option (one per display). There are two models of optional SDI Input Module; the RMSDI-1 and RMSDI-2. The RMSDI-2 features an SDI input, a reclocked SDI output, a converted (from SDI) CVBS output, an SDI Lock indication LED, and autosensing of NTSC/PAL signal formats. The RMSDI-1 offers a

somewhat reduced feature set for cost savings and is identical except that it lacks the SDI Output and requires manually setting a switch for NTSC/PAL formatting. Selection of the SDI Input Module(s) is accomplished using the appropriate front panel A/B switch.

Each display also features a tri-color (red/green/yellow) tally LED indicator. A DB25 connector on the rear panel is used to interface the RM-3358W with your facilities’ tally system. An optional field-installable audio indication module (AIM-1) can be plugged into the tally connector in order to use the RM-3358W tally LEDs for indication of audio presence and loss.

• Compact 3U rack size and lightweight

• Triple 5.8" Widescreen (16:9 or 4:3) LCD color video

monitor

• Adjustable screen angle for efficient viewing

• Eight composite video inputs with loop-through (two per

display)

• Front panel A/B switching (one per display)

• Dual standard NTSC/PAL auto-sensing

• On-screen controls for brightness, contrast, color, tint

(NTSC), dimmer, freq. subcarrier, reverse image, zoom, etc.

• Three Red/Green/Yellow tally lights (one per display)

The RM-3358W is ideal for confidence video monitoring of multiple video feeds for mobile trucks, news and transmission control rooms, duplication and post production applications. Built and rigorously tested in the USA, the RM-3358W is backed by a strong warranty and a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” return policy.

Features

• Seperate power button for each display

• Minimal power dissipation for low operating temperatures

• Low power consumption

• External power supply

• Optional (field installable) SDI input module(s) (RMSDI-1 and RMSDI-2) with SDI input, reclocked SDI output, converted

CVBS output, and autosensing of NTSC/PAL formats

• Optional (field installable) audio indication module (AIM-1) for using the RM monitor tally lights to indicate audio presence or loss.

Installation

Unpacking

Unpack the unit from the shipping container and inspect all articles for shipping damage. If you find any damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for claims adjustments. Compare the shipping box contents to the packing slip. Contact our PANORAMAdtv sales representative if there are any unexplained shortages.

Cooling and Airflow

No special physical mounting considerations are necessary regarding unit heat dissipation except under adverse conditions. Provided the ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in proximity to the RM-3358W unit. If the above temperature is exceeded, allow a 1RU (1.75”/ 25mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.

Rack Mounting

The RM-3358W unit rack mounts in a standard EIA-310-D specification 19”/483 mm rack and needs 3RU of space. Allow sufficient space at the unit rear for connector and cable clearance (approximately 4”/102mm). The RM-3358W unit rack mounts from the front panel support rails. Rear support is not required. See page 14 for a top view of the unit showing width and depth clearance dimensions.

General Installation Recommendations

Recommended Cables: Recommended cable type for Composite (analog) or SDI video signals is: Belden 1694A (or equivalent).
