3.1 Precautions
•Keep your original packaging. It is designed for this monitor and is the ideal protection during
transport.
•Do not lift the monitor alone to avoid injury.
•Avoid reflections in the picture tube to reduce eye strain.
•Keep the monitor away from heat sources and provide enough ventilation if it is installed in a
rack or console.
•Keep the monitor away from strong sources of magnetic radiation.
3.2 Rack Mounting
The monitor should be mounted in a 19” rack. Four retaining screws in the handles keep the
monitor in place.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings in the cover.
3.3 Signal Connection
SERVICE 75E R G B HS/CS VS
POWER
Voltage Range:
100 - 240V AC
LINE
Five BNC connectors are available at the rear of the monitor: R, G, B, HS/CS and VS. When the
monitor is the only monitor connected to the source or the last one in a chain, the 75 ohm
termination switch should be set in the lower position.
To loop-through the video signals, use T- or Y-connectors and place the 75 ohm termination switch
in the upper position.
A Thoma Color Analyzer can be connected to the SERVICE connector using the optional
ThomaLink cable (order number Z345501).

(*) Conversion from tri-level sync to bi-level sync
1035Lx1920P 60I is not stored as a separate mode, but the HDM 5049 PLUS displays this signal
type using the 1080Lx1920P 60I mode. The only difference is the number of active lines.
3.3.2 Vivaldi Modes
Two VIVALDI Modes (only for 525 lines / 60 Hz) are factory-stored as well: 4 Pictures and 1 Picture
Full Screen.
When connected to a VIVALDI, you have to configure the VIVALDI for positive
horizontal and vertical sync, no composite sync, no sync on green. Set the
VIVALDI to 4/3 (positive vertical sync). The HDM 5049 PLUS is already
aligned for 16/9. Do not toggle between 4/3 and 16/9 on the VIVALDI, since
this changes the vertical sync polarity.

4.4.2 AKB
With , select AKB On, Off or Auto.
The AKB system guarantees color stability by changing the DC-levels of the RGB cathode drive
signals in order to keep the light output of the AKB measuring lines constant. Note that AKB is not
active when a menu is displayed.
With AKB on, the monitor requires up to a minute to stabilize each time the input signal has
dropped or was changed to another line system. When stabilized however, you can turn AKB off.
The monitor will now keep the current DC-levels, even when the input signal drops.
AKB Auto leaves the AKB on for half an hour, then turns it off. AKB Auto starts the AKB when the
monitor is powered up or when AKB is set to Auto. In the Status Menu, you can see if AKB is
currently on or off.

Automatic
Remember that the monitor will be aligned according to the Color temp. and White level settings
you have made in the Settings menu. If you align the monitor to 6000 K and 80 nit, you can set it to
6500 K and 90 nit in the Settings menu, but then, the color temperature and light output will be
approximate. To obtain 6500 K and 90 nit, make sure you make the correct settings before starting
automatic alignment.
The HDM 5049 PLUS can be automatically aligned with a Thoma TMF3 or TMF 6 Color Analyzer
or with a Philips® PM5639/90 Color Sensor.
Required for alignment with Thoma TMF3 or TMF6:
•Thoma TMF3 or TMF6 Color Analyzer
•ThomaLink connector cable, order number Z345501.
Required for alignment with Philips® PM 5639/90 Color Sensor
•HDM 5049 PLUS Software version 1.03 or higher (see Information Menu on page 4-10)
•Philips® PM 5639/90 Color Sensor
•Power Supply box for PM 5639/90 Color Sensor
•Power cord
•Interface cable between monitor and Power Supply box (male and female SubD-9 connectors)
•Interface cable between Color Sensor and Power Supply box (FCC68 connectors)
All required items are included in the Philips® PM 5639/01 kit or the combined PM 5639/02 and PM
5639/62 kits.
To align the HDM 5049 PLUS, proceed as follows:
With Thoma Color Analyzer:
1. Connect the Thoma TMF3 or TMF6 Color Analyzer to the Service connector on the rear of the
monitor using a ThomaLink connector cable (order number Z345501).
2. Cover the Thoma sensor and press [ADJ] twice. This will start the zero calibration. Then press
[XYZ]. The Thoma should now read values between -4 and +4.
3. Connect the grounding clip on the Thoma sensor to one of the monitor’s handles before
placing the sensor on the screen. This prevents damage to the Thoma in case the monitor
flashes.
With Philips® PM 5639 Color Sensor:
1. Connect the Color Sensor to the Power Supply box via the interface cable with FCC68
connectors.
2. Connect the HDM 5049 PLUS Service connector (on the rear) to the RS232-C IN connector on
the Power Supply box using the interface cable with the male and female SubD-9 connectors.
3. Apply power to the Power Supply box.
For Thoma and Philips® :
1. Connect a 100% White Field to the monitor.
2. Place the sensor in the center of the screen. Do not turn on or off the monitor while the sensor
is on the screen!
3. With or select Automatic in the Color menu and press to start the alignment.
If the monitor does not recognize the Thoma Color Analyzer or the Philips® Color Sensor, following
message is displayed after a while:
