Note: If you use the HCM 1xx GOLDEN EAGLE series monitor in a real full screen mode for 16:9 sources, the aspect ratio of the displayed image is correct! Some sources don't produce a real 16:9 signal. The TAMUZ HCM 1xx GOLDEN EAGLE series is able to handle different type of signals, see table be- low. Format...

During the test routines the TAMUZ logo appears shortly on the screen after clearing the memory. Thereafter the monitor shows the signal from the selected input source (refer to the manual chapter Operation / Input Switch).
For supported formats check the chapter VGA Formats in the service section. Ethernet IP Interface The TAMUZ GOLDEN EAGLE series models may be equipped with a Ethernet IP port built-in at the rear. All GOLDEN EAGLE series monitors are equipped with this IP addressable interface port to al- low remote communication from a PC network, see MRC software.
The monitor and the connected device may become destroyed. Probe Interface All TAMUZ GOLDEN EAGLE series models have a probe port built-in at the front for alignment appli- cations. This port communicates with a color probe, like the TAMUZ AAC probe PM5639-T.
How to minimize the effect? In general, we can't promise that there is NO sticking effect within the TAMUZ LCD monitors. The visibility of the effect depends on the LCD panel technology and most on the signal content itself.
GOLDEN EAGLE Alignment of LCD Monitors TAMUZ develops a new method to align LCD monitors. We named that AAC, what stands for Automa- tic Calibration and Alignment. Through this, it becomes possible to compensate all non-linearity's for each individual monitor.
X=290 and Y=312 to set the TFT panel on a suitable white. With help of the TAMUZ AAC function it is possible to shift the so called XY-whitepoint individually within the CIE coordinate system for a perfect color reproduction at the specific color temperature.
Alignment of LCD Monitors GOLDEN EAGLE How to align a TAMUZ monitor Aligning a TAMUZ monitor with the AAC function is easy to handle. Follow the procedure described thereafter. Environment First; keep an environment with a low lighting and no reflections. The recommendations like EBU or SMPTE says 8 cd/m only.
