POWERING THE MONITOR
1. Plug the AC power adapter into the power input jack (See rear view diagram or above).
2. Attach the DV battery plate on the slot, and connect DV battery to the plate.
3. Connect a pro battery using the optional pro battery plate and then plugging that plate with the power tap cable into
the DC-In connector. The pro battery plate kits (PBK17-S or PBK17-A) allow you to go into the field using standard
V-Mount or Gold-Mount batteries.
DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERSION [SDI > YUV]
The monitor can convert digital SDI signals to Analog YUV. A signal from the SDI will be displayed on the YPbPr analog
outputs. This is a straight digital to analog conversion only. There is no up converting, down converting or standards
conversion available in this feature. This feature works in one direction SDI to analog. It will not work in reverse.

System Reset
This function recalls user defined values for the
Red, Green and Blue settings .The user setting will
remain in memory indefinitely and can be erased
by using the reset option in the main menu.
This function turns off the red and green channels
of the display or set the display into monochrome
mode and is used to calibrate the display when
using SMPTE or ARIB color bar patterns. The
blue only setting will allow the user to adjust the
hue and saturation of the display and the
monochrome may be used to set the brightness and
contrast.
This function displays the blanking portion of the
incoming signal.
The LCD panel in this display has a native display
of 1024 x 600 pixels. A signal of any other
resolution is scaled to fit this native resolution.
There may be time when it is desired to view the
incoming signal without scaling. Enabling Pixel to
Pixel mode turns off the scaling and displays a
1024x600 pixel window of the original image.
Each pixel of the panel displays one pixel of the
original image. The user may use the arrow
buttons (buttons 5-8) on the monitor face to move
the window left, right, up and down to see the
desired portion of the image.
This function displays a side by side comparison
of the incoming video signal. Pushing the F1/2
button one time will enter the mode. Each time the
F1/2 button is pushed it will freeze the current
frame on the right hand side of the display while
the left continues to display the live signal.
Pressing the exit button will exit the window
mode. Use Window 1 for 16:9 signals and
Window 2 for 4:3 signals.
