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).
SPARROWHAWK DC Voltage The DC voltage to operate the SPARROWHAWK LSM 124W / LSM 127W video monitors will be supplied by an external Power Supply. The connection happens with a XLR 5pin port at the rear. The pin-out of the XLR5M port is shown in following table:...
For supported formats check the chapter VGA Formats in the service section. Ethernet IP Interface As added option TAMUZ SPARROWHAWK series models may have an Ethernet IP port built-in at the rear. SPARROWHAWK series monitors equipped with this IP addressable interface port allows to communicates via a PC network, see MRC software.

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.
Alignment of LCD Monitors SPARROWHAWK 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 SPARROWHAWK 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.
SPARROWHAWK Password for Alignment To enable the hidden Alignment features within a TAMUZ monitor open the menu SYSTEM using the front panel keys or the IR remote. Select the SYSTEM MENU from the MAIN MENU with the UP and DOWN keys and open the menu step with the PLUS (V+) key.

Häufig werden als defekt erkannte Bauteile aufgrund ihrer Komplexität nicht ausgetauscht, da dies zu hohen Aufwand und Kosten verursacht. Neues Display: Ersatzdisplays sind für fast alle TAMUZ Monitore als Ersatzteil erhältlich Das Display-Schutzglas kann schon fertig aufgebracht werden. In seltenen Fällen hat sich die Mechanik des passenden Ersatzdisplays oder der Anschlusstecker ge- ändert.
