• supplied items
Supplied with your LCD Monitor is a
desk-top universal 100-250 VAC, 50/60
Hz AC to 12 volt DC regulated power
supply, power and VGA cords, and this
instruction manual. Outside the US, a
local power cord may be needed.
Available options may include: SDI, High
Brightness (1850 nts), Remote Controls,
and VESA-, Rack-, Wall- Mounts, and
Desk Stands.
• handling
A VIEWPORT display is rugged. As a
precaution though, please consider the
following general characteristics of AMTFT
LCDs. These are not defects or
malfunctions:
Please handle the panel with care. Since
the panel is made of glass, sharp blows to
the screen, failure after dropping onto a
hard surface, etc., are not covered by the
warranty.
High voltages are present inside the
cabinet for the fluorescent lighting. There
are no fuses or other user-serviceable
parts inside. Do not remove any screws or
disassemble the cabinet to stay safe and
to retain the Warranty.
Use only factory-specified power supplies
for powering the panel.
A wet, condensing atmosphere (dew or
fog) should be avoided. If you require
routine operation in these conditions,
please consult the factory (optional
cabinets are available).
Note the normal operating and storage
temperatures in the specifications. Do not
place the unit in the sun, as the black
cabinet can absorb a considerable amount
of heat. Extreme temperatures, just as
uncomfortable for people, will cause
degraded performance or permanent LCD
damage. Extended temperature models
are available. Please also take care to
avoid electrostatic discharges.
When a panel is not installed, place it in its
packing material or place it face down on
a smooth table.
After several thousand hours of operation,
the special internal fluorescent lamps will
eventually taper in their brightness. Please
consult the factory for replacement.
Over long periods of time, some changes
in luminance uniformity or small dots may
become visible, depending on image
content.
Avoid fixed video patterns for extended
periods of time. Some image retention
may temporarily occur. If possible, use an
interesting screen saver or black.
Please handle cables and connectors with
care. Please replace worn cables with
standard, locally-available parts (see
power supply substitution caution).
Note that although most Boland screens
are glass, they are still somewhat sens-
itive to scratching. Please clean with a
soft cloth slightly dampened (not dripping)
with water or, if necessary, Windex®or
409®type cleaners.
VIEWPORT Manual d series 2

Installation
• system requirements
VIEWPORT monitors operate on DC
power and display PC video with a 15
pin VGA connector, composite video
signal with BNC, or S-Video with a 4-pin
mini-DIN (or "S") connectors.
Monitors will display a composite or S-
Video from a 525 or 625 standard video
signal at a nominal 1.0 Vpp (when
properly 75?terminated, where source
video is 2.0 Vpp unterminated), and are
for use as connected to all normal
baseband video systems. (The "C"
component of the Y/C signal is 0.7 Vpp
nominal.)
The built-in scaler very cleanly displays PC
images from CGA (320 x 480) to WUXGA
(1920 x 1200) resolutions. Boland models
for high resolutions formats, like HDTV, are
available.
• physical mounting
When mounting the panel on a flat surface,
allow clearance for any connection cords on
the rear. In the corners on the backside of
monitors are 10-32 threaded inserts for
mounting screws. Use screws that don't
penetrate the cabinet more than ½".
Also on the backside of many models are 75
or 100 mm VESA pattern holes. These
holes may accept no. 6, 8, 10, M3, 3.5, or 4
screws, depending on a model's size and
weight. The VESA holes are typically used
for wall mounts and desk stands.
Also, up to 15", a ¼-20 (UNC) threaded
socket is on the bottom side (not for vehicle
use).
The LCD monitors dissipate only a few watts
(see specifications), so no special cooling or
ventilationisusuallyrequired(exceptwithDB
models). The mounting location may usually
be enclosed. But avoid any mounting
situations with appliance, environmental, or
solar heat sources that may cause the
monitor's operating location to exceed
122°F/50°C.
• power and video connections
VIEWPORT LCD monitors connect like
CRT-typemonitors. The connections are
video and power:
Power Connection - 12 Volts DC
Insert the barrel or XLR plug from the
desk-top power supply into the jack on
the back of the panel. The AC side of
the power supply will accept 100-240
VAC, 50/60 Hz. Some monitors have
an optional 9 to 36 VDC feature built-in.
Video Connections
Most VIEWPORT monitors have BNC
connectors for composite, 4-pin for S-
Video and one VGA input video source
per screen (most screens have auto-
terminating loop-thru 75?BNCs)
Computer Connections (next page)
3VIEWPORT Manual d series

Installation
• computer connections
The "VGA" connection may be made
with the supplied cord, plugging a cord
into the back of the monitor and into
the (back) of the computer. Supply
the monitor with a CGA (320 x 480)
up to a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) signal.
A built-in processor will adjust the
image automatically to fit the screen.
For DayBrite Monitors, see page 10 for operation of the fan switch located here.
Connector Well, typical of 10.4 to 37" Monitors
3 Operation
Your VIEWPORT Monitor's On-Screen
menu provides for normal operational
adjustments. These user adjustments
are stored (memorized) separately for
VGA, Composite, and Y/C S-Video, and
separately for both NTSC and PAL
modes.
For normal operation, set the Brightness
to just be able to see the blackest
portions of the video image, then
Contrast to bring the whitest areas of an
image to just less than wash-out. Then
set Color and Tint [NTSC] for pleasing
flesh tones.
Push the menu button to bring up the
menu and to step down through the
icons. Starting on the subsequent pages
are all the menu choices and a
description of each item.

Maintenance
4 Maintenance
A VIEWPORT display requires no
regular/periodic maintenance.
• Cleaning
The standard cabinet finish is semi-gloss
black paint over aircraft aluminum, or the
aluminum cabinet itself is mil-spec black-
dye anodized.
The front screens are non-glare glass. A
damp (not dripping) cleaning cloth with a
small amount of spray cleaner (such as
409®,orWindex®)maybeusedtoremove
dust or fingerprints. You will not want to
have enough moisture on the outside of
the cabinet that liquid would run inside
through the cracks.
• Factory Service
Afteraboutfiftythousandhoursofservice
(as long as 10 years, even if used often,
depending on the Boland model), it may
be possible to notice the screen
brightness start to fall to half or less of its
original level. Or, the internal fluorescent
lamps may not come on at all, or stay on
properly, especially when
the temperature is cold. In these cases,
the full brightness may be restored by
replacing the special type of internal
fluorescent lamps (not user serviceable-
theserequireextremecareinaveryclean
environment). Please contact BOLAND
COMMUNICATIONS for factory
replacement.
• Warranty (Note: opening the cabinet voids the warranty)
VIEWPORT Video Displays are warranted
for one year against defects in materials
or workmanship (see the Warranty
Agreement, page 15).
Consequentialdamagesarenotcovered.
Units requiring attention will
need to be returned to the factory for
correction. Telephone for a tracking/RA
number before shipping. Units will be
returned UPS Ground pre-paid. Warranty
correction is at best an inconvenience, so
every reasonable effort will be made by
BOLAND to smooth the process.
