I Preface
This document describes the functionality, the intended use and the most important product specifications of the
AlphaScreen 46.
The contents have been examined to verify the hardware and software described herein.
Because of clarity, the document does not contain all the detailed information about this product.
With respect to hardware and/or software, customized versions may be made.
I.1 Revision History
A Summary of changes compared to the first issue.
Revision No. Description Date
V1.0 First Draft 15 July 2015
V1.1 First Issue 25 April 2017
V1.2 Add Annex A 27 September 2018
I.2 Glossary
Definitions used in this manual are shown in the list of Definitions. See Table 1: Definitions on page 4.
Auto Adjustment A function that automatically adjusts the clock, phase, and screen position of the monitor
to their ideal levels.
Auto Adjustment is activated through the monitors’ OSD menu. (applicable only for
analog signal input.)
Auto Back-light Brightness
Stabilization A drift correction circuit that stabilizes the screen brightness level within minutes after
start-up or coming out of power saving mode.
Back-light The light source positioned behind the LCD panel which illuminates the display screen.
The Raptor monitor uses three replaceable trays containing the back lights.
(Pixel) Clock The analog signal input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the
dot clock of the graphics system in use, when the analog signal is converted to a digital
signal for image display. This is called clock adjustment. If the clock frequency is not set
correctly, some vertical bars appear on the screen.
Color Temperature Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in
degrees Kelvin. The screen becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high
temperature, like the flame temperature.
• 5000 K: Slightly reddish white
• 6500 K: White referred to as daylight-balanced color
• 9300 K: Slightly bluish white
CR (Contrast Ratio) Is the relation of the luminous density between the brightest "white" and the darkest
"black" which can be generated on a monitor.
DDC (Display Data
Channel) A communication channel for the transmission of information between the display monitor
and the PC that allows for automatic configuration of the hardware. In other words, "Plug
and Play" compatibility.
Dot Pitch The distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the next closest pixel of the
same color. Pixel pitch gives a general idea of the monitor's ability to produce sharp
images; the smaller the pixel pitch, the sharper the image.
4 | Preface

DVI (Digital Visual
Interface) DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PC’s digital data
without loss. This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are
two types of DVI connectors. One is a DVI-D connector for digital signal input only. The
other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.
ECDIS (Electronic Chart
Display and Information
System)
Electronic navigation system for the maritime patch.
EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) A data structure provided by a monitor to describe its capabilities to a video source (e.g.
graphics card ).
Gain Is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays
the color by the light passing through the panel color filter. Red, green and blue are the
three primary colors. All the colors on the screen are displayed by combining these three
colors. The color tone can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing
through the filter of each color.
Gamma The relationship between inputs in the computer and the brightness or luminance
displayed on the monitor. Gamma is: Brightness (Luminance) = Constant x input-gamma.
While gamma has no effect on black or white, it does affect grey or mid-tones. If the
gamma level of the monitor is set too high, mid-tones will appear too dark. Conversely, if
gamma is set too low, mid-tones will appear too light.
Kelvin The ‘Kelvin’ is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in
the International System of Units and is assigned the unit symbol K.
LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) A Liquid Crystal Display is a non-emission display. The active element on an
AlphaScreen 46 monitor is a Twisted-Neumatic (TN), Vertically Aligned (VA) or In-Plane
Switching (ISP) liquid crystal.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) Light Emitting Diodes, these are used for signaling statuses of hardware and software
signals to the user.
Luminance The quality of the amount of radiating light perceived to be emitted from the display.
This varies from a minimum for a very dim appearance to a maximum for a very bright
appearance.
Management Information
Base (MIB) A virtual database used for managing the entities in a communications network. Most
often associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
MODBUS A simple and robust communications protocol, commonly used for connecting industrial
electronic devices.
Phase Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal.
Phase adjustment is made to adjust the timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment
be made after the clock is adjusted correctly.
Refresh Rate The frequency with which the entire image on the screen is redrawn. The refresh rate
is measured in hertz, therefore, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, means the image is redrawn 60
times per second.
Resolution The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to
form images. This monitor consists of horizontal 1920 pixels and 1080 vertical pixels). At
a resolution of 1920 × 1080 all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).
Response Time The amount of time measured in milliseconds (ms) it takes a pixel to go from black to
white and back to black again. Faster response times minimize ghosting and blurring on
a monitor displaying moving images. They are indicated by reduced time measurements
in product specifications. Although cited, black-to-white-to-black response time is not
the ideal indicator of a monitor's ability to play moving images smoothly, since it doesn't
measure the transition time between gray-to-gray mid-tones included in all color images.
Therefore, gray-to-gray mid-tones response time is the better metric of a monitor's
performance to play motion pictures.
5 | Preface

RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances) A European Union directive that stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment". The six restricted substances are
lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBDE (polybrominated diphenylethers),
and PBB (polybrominated biphenyls). RoHS went into effect in July 2006 and applies
to most electrical and electronic equipment manufactured and imported into the EU. All
AlphaScreen 46 monitors and accessories manufactured after June 2006 are RoHS
compliant.
RS232 (Recommended

2 Operation
This chapter describes MENU handling, RADAR settings, CALIBRATION and TROUBLESHOOTING.
2.1 OSD - Menu
The “On-Screen Display” (OSD) is a menu system shown on the display screen. All settings and adjustments to the
monitor can be made with the help of the menu system and the operating elements described.
The OSD Keyboard is placed at the front panel and is operated with four buttons (plus additional On/Off button). Two
status LED's indicate monitor operating status. The ambient light sensor placed at the left side is not implemented in the
monitor application. See Figure 9: OSD Keyboard on page 17.
Figure 9: OSD Keyboard
The OSD can be also operated with four buttons (plus additional On/Off button) that are connected via a special
interface. See Table 6: Interface for external keyboard on page 14.
Essentially there are two OSD menu's available:
1. Quick OSD menu:
The most important parameters, e.g. back-light brightness, or signal source can be preset here for quick access.
2. Main OSD menu:
All settings, configurations, measurements and calibrations can be made here.
Note Blocked OSD access (OSD lockout).
• When OSD lockout is enabled, an access code is needed to get into the OSD every time you try to open it.
• After entering the access code, the OSD opens; however, the OSD lockout remains active.
• To permanently enable OSD, the OSD lockout has to be deactivated in the OSD “SETUP”.
Note Delayed monitor On/Off-Sequence.
• When switching “On” or “Off” the monitor via the OSD press the button for around 2...3 seconds.
• This prevents the monitor from switching “Off” if the operator touches the On/Off-button unintentionally.
2.2 LED Indicator
The two LED's on the front OSD keyboard indicate following status:
LED Status Description
On If backlight brightness is set to one of the four predefined ECDIS-modes the
LED is On.
CALIB Off For any other backlight brightness setting the LED is Off.
On Monitor powered On with valid input signal or Monitor powered On and is
waiting for valid input signal (only if DPMS is set to Off)
