The Raptor SQ2801 is a 28.05“ TFT module with native resolution of 2,048 x 2,048 pixel. Wide viewing angle of 170° (horizontally and vertically), a contrast ratio of 1000 : 1 and maximum brightness of 210 cd/m²...
Layout of this Manual This manual was created to assist system integrators and operators during installation and operation of the LCD TFT Monitor Raptor SQ2801. The layout is intended to allow even inexperienced users to install and set-up the monitor.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Please note that the chassis mount version of the monitor (Raptor SQ2801 Chassis and Panel mount) must only be transported in a horizontal position. (i.e. The front glass face of the monitor should be facing up during transportation).
Instructions for Handling Components Susceptible to Electrostatic Shocks Most of the assemblies within the LCD monitor Raptor SQ2801 contain components which can be permanently damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Such resulting damage may or may not result in total failure of the components or modules affected.
General Installation Preparation for installing the LCD monitor includes following steps: • Removal of all packaging materials • Checking of components for damage • Comparison of components received with those listed on the delivery note • Connection to the computer system and power supply •...
Installing the Monitor The Raptor SQ2801 is currently offered in two versions - desktop version and chassis version. Both these version are discussed in this section. The desktop version is a “standalone” unit that can be placed on top of a desktop console. As for the chassis version, it is easy to integrate it onto the rear of control panel or a console by using two mounting brackets.
Interfaces and Connector Assignment The monitor has been tested and pre-adjusted at the factory. For system installation, connect the unit to the main power supply, serial interfaces and input sources. All input connectors are shown in the figure below. All connections should adhere to EMC regulations. Use cord grips to secure cables.
2.3.1 Analog RGB – Interface The analog RGB input may be used for Sony DDM compatible configurations. However, the Raptor SQ2801 panel can also handle all common VESA timings. When using this interface, specific adjustments for phase and frequency may be necessary. These adjustments are explained in detail in section 3.3 on page 41.
2.3.2 DVI-1 / DVI-2 Interface The digital video inputs use the standard dual-link DVI interface. Dual-link DVI is necessary to support the high data rate (dot clock) as required by this high resolution of 2048 x 2048. However, the monitor also supports lower resolutions (e.g.
2.3.3 RS232-1 Interface This RS232 interface is used for communication with the host machine (workstation). Three different protocols are available which are described in chapter 4 on page 43. In addition, this interface is used for monitor firmware updates Only the RS232-1 interface can be used for monitor firmware update. NOTE Connector Assignment: Signal...
2.3.5 RS422 Interface The RS422 interface is used for communication with a workstation. Three different protocols are available which are described in chapter 4 on page 43. This interface may also be used for communication with a workstation via DDM-protocol. NOTE However, no handshake signals are available.
Key “Select” Electrical Installation Before connecting the Raptor SQ2801 to main power, ensure that all connectors for video signals and serial interfaces are plugged in properly and securely. After that, the monitor may be connected to main power and switched on by turning ON the main power switch on the rear of the unit (see Fig.
Operation and Adjustment The manual operation and adjustment of the monitor is facilitated by buttons that are integrated on the front of the unit. The buttons are used for navigation and control of the OSD menu. Alternatively, all adjustments for brightness, contrast, etc. can be carried out via an external keyboard or via the serial interfaces (see chapter 4, page 43).
OSD-Menu / Quick-OSD-Menu In addition to detailed adjustments in the OSD-Menu, there is another option available for adjusting frequently used functions such as brightness and contrast via direct access (remotely), the so called Quick-OSD-Menu. The protocols for access are discussed in Chapter 4. All settings and adjustments of the OSD are stored in non-volatile memory.
3.2.2 OSD-Menu The OSD (On Screen Display) is a menu system which is displayed on the screen. All monitor settings and adjustments are done by operating the OSD OSD options depend on the selected signal source (RGB or DVI). For example, functions for frequency and phase adjustment of analog signal sources are not available when the unit is displaying a DVI signal.

When the Raptor SQ2801 is connected to an analog signal source for the first time, an integrated “automatic adjustment” function performs this adjustment. It uses the H and V frequencies of the input signal to adjust the frequency, phase and picture position of the image.
With bad frequency adjustment from left to right, parts of the picture appear blurred. Each alteration of the frequency increases or decreases the number of blurred fields. Correct setting is achieved when the whole screen has the same appearance. The picture may appear blurry, but it should be homogeneously across the whole screen.
Serial Communication The Raptor SQ2801 features as described in Chapter 3 can be controlled via an application on the host workstation. The host workstation can communicate with the Raptor SQ2801 via the serial communication alternatives and protocols as described in this chapter.
Standard Protocol Standard Protocol The standard protocol supports all adjustments and control of the monitor. This protocol uses two The standard protocol supports all adjustments and control of the monitor. This protocol uses two kinds of data packet types. Packet format called “Operation” is used for adjustments such as kinds of data packet types.

DDM-Protocol The DDM-Protocol and its commands have been defined for operation with Sony DDM compatible monitor. The Raptor SQ2801 only implements those commands which the monitor supports. All other commands will simply return success. This protocol is only supported by RS232-2 or RS422 interface. For this the DDM protocol and the appropriate interface must be selected in the OSD.
