To connect analog video & sync signals: Connect the video & sync output of the signal source to the video and sync inputs (6), (7) and (8) of the display. The inputs accept the following signals: • Video with separate horizontal and vertical sync. The connection consists of 3 cables.
2.5. Routing the signal cables (model with tilt & swivel foot option) After connecting all cables, fix them in the cable tie at the rear of the connector compartment. Bind the cables together above and under the foot, by means of the 2 velcro strips included in the package. After fixing the cables, put the connector compartment cover back in place.
2.6. Tilt and swivel positioning (model with tilt & swivel foot option) Adjust the position of the panel for best viewing conditions. The display foot allows adjusting the horizontal viewing angle, vertical viewing angle and panel height. 2.7. Starting up Proceed as follows: 1 Switch on the signal source.
3. Operation 3.1. Introduction The control wheel (3) at the bottom (landscape orientation) or at the side (portrait orientation) allows you to perform controls. The control wheel is a rotation - click system. It provides the following functions: • Short click: Enter menus, confirm selections, and toggle between different options •...
a) To save the changes, click and hold the control wheel for a few seconds. b) To exit the menus without saving the changes: 1 Turn the control wheel. The check mark in the menu changes into a cross ( ). 2 Click and hold the control wheel for a few seconds.
5 Click and hold the control wheel for a few seconds to exit the menu. To select the calibrated position: 1 Turn the control wheel to select the “Calibrated” selection menu. ***Contrast**** Calibrated ( ) ***Brightness*** Calibrated ( ) 2 A cross ( ) in the menu means the contrast (brightness) is actually not calibrated.
2 Click the control wheel to enter the menu. 3 Turn the control wheel to change the light output value. 4 Click the control wheel to confirm the change of the value. *IIIIIIIII ....* Light Output 5 Click and hold the control wheel for a few seconds to exit the menu.

To perform the calibrations: 1 Turn the control wheel to display the Calibration menu. ***MAIN MENU**** Calibration 2 Click the control wheel to enter the Calibration menu. 3 Turn the control wheel to select the calibration you wish to perform. 4 For the automatic calibrations: Click the control wheel to perform the calibration.
Note: The calibration of the video levels determines the calibrated position or default setting of contrast and brightness. The black level calibration determines the brightness, the white level calibration determines the contrast. 3.5. Getting information The Information menu allows you to get a lot of information about the display and the connected signals.
Lifetime.....Indicates the total time the display has been operating, including the time in power-saving mode * Not in DVI mode Timing information V.Freq.......The currently measured vertical sync frequency H.Freq ......The currently measured horizontal sync frequency Interlaced* ....Indicates if the connected video signal is interlaced or non-interlaced.
3 Turn the control wheel to select one of the geometry adjustment menus. 4 Click the control wheel to enter the selected menu. 5 Turn the control wheel to change the value. 6 Click the control wheel to confirm the change. These are the geometry adjustments: Auto Center*.....Automatically positions the image in the center of the display panel.
3 Turn the control wheel to select one of the categories: Input selection, Test Pattern, Synchr. Sampl, Lookup Tables, Filter, Power Led, ALC active, or de-interlacing. 4 Click the control wheel to enter the selected settings menu. 5 Turn the control wheel to change the setting. 6 Click the control wheel to confirm the change.
DICOM .....Select a DICOM lookup table for most medical viewing applications. The DICOM function results in more visible grayscales in the images. CRT ......Select a CRT (gamma) lookup table in case the display is used to replace a CRT display. Apart from these factory lookup tables, there is a User programmable lookup table.
Auto ......The display selects portrait or landscape reproduction automatically, depending on the orientation of the panel. Portrait......The image is reproduced in portrait orientation. Landscape: The image is reproduced in landscape orientation. De-interlacing* * Not in DVI mode – Visible only when the input signal is interlaced This setting allows you to select the algorithm used to convert non- interlaced into interlaced signals.
Equal pix....Selects the number of successive pixels with the same digital value used in amplitude and black level calibration. Decrease this number for video signals with a lot of noise. Phase offset .....Adds a phase difference to the value derived after phase calibration.
max Light....This is the panel light output that corresponds to the maximum ambient light, measured by the ALC sensor. min Thresh ....This is the minimum value of ambient light. Below this value, ALC will remain inactive. When the measured ambient light reaches this value, the panel light output will be set to the min Light value.
To disable the control wheel function, set the Control wheel function to Off and exit the on-screen menus. To enable the control wheel function again: 1 Unplug the power supply from the display 2 Click and hold the control wheel while plugging in the power supply again 3.9.
It may be possible that dust particles have entered the display and are stuck to the rear of the glass. We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a BARCO service center. However, when really necessary, you can perform the cleaning on site if you can work in conditions that are as clean and dust-free as possible.
5. Troubleshooting Calibration not successful After an unsuccessful calibration, the message “Failed” appears on the screen. Possible solutions: Use another test pattern for performing the calibration. The text in § 3.4, Calibrating the display , explains what test patterns to use. Check the quality of the signal source and signal cables.
