CHAPTER 1: Installation
Introduction
Overview
The HDM-215-3G-TT monitor sets a new standard in LCD monitors for broadcast
and professional video applications. It provides a 21.5”, 8-bit, 1920 x 1080
resolution, 16:9 format, anti-glare IPS LCD screen. All video formats are scaled to
fit on the screen in the highest quality using 12-bit digital processing, precision
scaling and gamma correction to produce the best images possible.
Features
The HDM-215-3G-TT audio/video monitor is designed for confidence monitoring of
two 3G/HD/SD-SDI, one HDMI/DVI, one CVBS composite analog video, and one Y/C
and component input. Input signals are easily selected and displayed. Two to
sixteen audio channels may be selected for visual monitoring on bar graph style
level meters. On screen markers, waveform, vector, Picture in Picture (PiP) and
Picture by Picture (PbP) displays can be enabled on this full-featured monitor.
Focus Assist and Luma Zone modes can be engaged to assist with camera
adjustments. Stereo speakers provide audio monitoring. A headphone jack and
stereo analog audio outputs are also provided for external audio monitoring.
Parameters are selected and adjusted using an On Screen Display (OSD) Menu. An
RJ45 connector serves as the interface to six general purpose inputs which can be
optioned to control a variety of monitor functions. Monitor settings can also be
made with a web browser over Ethernet using the integral web server.
Safety
Instructions
1. Read, keep, and follow all of these instructions; heed all warnings.
2. Do not use this equipment near water.
3. Use only a dry cloth to clean the equipment.
4. Do not block any ventilation openings.
5. Do not install near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register, amplifier, or
stove.
6. Do not attempt to plug the unit into a two-blade outlet (with only two prongs of
equal width).
Page 5
The symbol to the left warns of electric shock hazard
inside the unit.
Important:
By design, this monitor will only plug into a three
-
prong outlet fo
r
your safety. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plug
connection on the equipment and at the socket.
8. Use only the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
9. Unplug the equipment during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
10. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing will be required
under all of the following conditions:
a. The equipment has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-
supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid had been spilled or objects have fallen onto the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture.
d. The equipment does not operate normally.
e. The equipment has been dropped.
Safety Symbols
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.
Mounting
The HDM-215-3G-TT is designed to be placed on a tabletop or other flat surface.
Position either unit at ear/eye level for best high frequency response and visual
observation of the display screen. Please adhere to the following clearances:
Table 1-1: Recommended Clearances

supplies, and other components is vented by slots in the back of
Heat Dissipation
The ambient temperature near the product should not exceed 40° Celsius (104°
Fahrenheit). When rack mounting, adjacent devices can be rack mounted in
proximity to the unit if this temperature is not exceeded. Otherwise, allow a 1RU
(1.75”/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation. For table top
operation, in warm environments, allow an inch of space above and below the unit
for air circulation.
To reduce noise, the monitor does not have any fans. As a
result, the heat generated by the audio amplifiers, power
the unit. Therefore, as a safety precaution, you must allow
proper ventilation on these surfaces.
Sympathetic Vibration
Sympathetic vibration from other equipment (cables, etc.) in the rack may be
serious enough to interfere with the unit’s sound quality. If you experience
sympathetic vibrations, use thin card stock, felt, foam, or weather-stripping
between the vibrating surfaces. Tie loose cables securely with cable ties.
Mechanical
The sturdy chassis is very shallow from front to back making it very stable on its
table stand. It can be tilted forward or backward for viewing, if necessary. The
weight of internal components is distributed fairly evenly around the unit.
Electrical Interference
Be careful to avoid mismatched cable types and other similar causes of undesired
reflections in digital signal systems. If severe enough, such reflections can result in
corruption of the digital data stream. As with any audio equipment, maximum
immunity from electrical interference requires the use of shielded cable; however,
satisfactory results can sometimes be obtained without it. The internal circuitry
ground is connected to the chassis.
Power
The unit comes with an external power supply module which connects to an AC
mains power source (60W, 100 to 240 VAC, ±10%, 50/60Hz) through the IEC
connector provided on the power supply.
When the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the
disconnect device should remain operable.

Compliance
FCC
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
their own expense.
ICES-003
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du
Canada.
