To more easily identify which parameters are available in a given mode, the illustrations in this section are marked with a color legend. These colors are not visible in the actual OSD environment. OSD Menu Map The MD-119 OSD control is divided into 3 groups. See the following figures for details.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Main Group 1 In this group (and its sub groups) the user can adjust image properties that directly affect the picture across all incoming signal sources. Some of these subgroups have further options; please review this menu map to quickly determine where a desired property is located within the menu hierarchy.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Main Group 2 In this group (with its subgroups) the user can adjust parameters that directly impact settings for the video controller software, OSD settings and gain access to settings that are physically accessible for the user. None of these settings will impact on the picture visually for the incoming signal sources.
Page 22
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Main Group 3 In this group (with its subgroups) the user can change signal sources and set up the Picture-In-Picture or Picture-By-Picture views, both of which take advantage of the Multi Display feature. Some of these subgroups have more than one option, so please review this map to quickly determine where a desired setting is located within the menu hierarchy.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration OSD Menu Items Explained The following section explains all possible image properties that the user can encounter or adjust. The menu location of each item is described as a filetree path. Please review the OSD Menu Map earlier in this manual for an overview of the menu file structure.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Display-Picture-Color This only applies to video signals configured as the Main Source. This increases/decreases the overall color saturation, and can be used if incoming signals lack strong colors, as sometimes happens with older equipment or bad cables.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Display-Picture-PIP/PBP Adjust-PIP Picture-Contrast To enable this function, please see Display-Source-PIP-xxxx, below. This increases/decreases the overall contrast of the window overlay. This will not change the contrast of the Main Source signal behind the window overlay. It can be used for situations where the incoming video signal from CCTV or other video sources appears washed out in comparison to the source signal.

MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Display-Picture-Adv Settings-Color Temperature-User-RGB This is only available in Full Menu mode. This adjusts the color temperature manually. You can adjust the R (red), G (green) and B (blue) levels. This only applies to the Main Source signal. Window overlays (PIP/PBP) and the OSD Menu will be unaffected. Press the right (►) button to activate each R, G, B level and adjust them separately.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Composite signal sources may be used in this manner (i.e, as secondary input sources, or Second Source). To implement this feature, please refer to the Display-Source-PIP-xxxx section, below. When selected, a box icon (█) will indicate that the selected function has been activated. Display-Picture-Adv Settings-Graphic Scaling-Auto Full Menu mode and only when analog Composite/S-VHS signals are configured as the...
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Image Information Display-Picture-Picture Info-Main Source Please note that a valid Main Source input signal must be present for this selection to work. This item only displays all the information regarding the Main Source signal. The information displayed includes the physical port and input name (software), current signal resolution, horizontal frequency (h-freq), and vertical frequency (v-freq).

MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration important information on the display must be visible at all times. A black border around the OSD menu layout will always be black and is not affected by this adjustment. Scale is from 0-100. 50 is the default. Display-Setup-OSD Settings-OSD Horz Position Moves the horizontal (left/right) position of the OSD Menu.
This item sets the built-in serial port to the RS-232 protocol, enabling serial communications control via an RS-232 interface; i.e., the MD-119 may use the serial port to serve as the DTE of a remote DCE. This setting enables operators to modify a wide range of the display controller’s internal parameters. Daisy-chain operation is also possible if the DCE is equipped with a second COM port.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Display-Setup-User Settings-Communication-Address This is a feature for configuring a serial interface that is only available in Full Menu mode. This menu item allows the user to set a UART address for device identification on an RS-485 or RS-422 serial network.

MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration Choosing Single while the display is operating in PIP or PBP mode will stop the device from displaying any and all Second Source images return it to displaying only the single Main Source image. When selected, a box icon (█) will indicate that the selected function has been activated.
MD-124 HW Manual On-screen Display and Display Configuration selected as the Main Source) will be displayed as the main image. To return the display to its original configuration, simply select Swap Source once again and the display controller will return to its original display configuration. If, after configuring a PBP, the menu item Display-Source-Single is activated (and the Swap Source function has not been activated) then the PBP will disappear, leaving only the Main Source input signal as a solitary display.
Display UART Command This chapter defines the serial data format and the serial communication protocol so that engineers can use them to program the communication between their computers and the MD-119 display. The following topics are covered in this appendix: ...
Connecting to the Display You need to use a serial cable to connect the computer to the serial port, marked RS-232/422/485 on the MD-119 display.
