Chapter 3 Interconnection/Cable Description
The following cables are necessary to connect to the DuraVIS-3400:
•Standard Male to Male VGA/SVGA cable.
•Power cable with a DB9 Male Connector: The input voltage is applied to pin 1 or 6 (The two pins are
connected in the unit), and the ground input is applied to pin 5 or 9 (The two pins are connected in the
unit). The Ground signals of the DB9 (pins 7 or 8) are connected to the common of the Molex connector
(pin 1) of the external intensity control. Pins 3 and 2 of the DB9 connector are connected to pins 3 and 2
of the brightness control, respectively.
•Serial Female to Female cable: In order to have the touch screen communicate with a computer, it is
necessary to use a straight-through, serial Female to Female cable. Pin 5 of both connectors are
connected together, pin 2 is connected to pin 2, and pin 3 is connected to pin 3. A null modem cable will
also work if your system has auto crossover.

•Install SFT-0369X-01 by running setup.exe.
•On the welcome screen, click next.
•Read and accept the EULA, and click next.
•On the next screen select “12 or10 Bit Controller” for controller type and “Serial (RS/232)” for the
controller interface then try to auto-detect. The touch screen controller should be detected.
•On the next screen, ensure that the correct COM port for your serial port is selected and that the baud
rate is 9600. Make sure that the capacitive controller is not checked. Click next and finish.
•Cycle the power on your system before you start using the touch screen.
•After completing the preceding steps, a new program labeled “TPI Touch Screen Control Panel” should
be in your program directory. This program is used to calibrate and change settings on the touch
screen.

Descriptions of Display Functions
Brightness: The brightness control on the OSD menu is not interfaced with the brightness up/down of the unit.
This is an option that is not implemented in this design. The backlight intensity can be controlled through the
OSD buttons on the back of the display or through the external switches (optional).
Contrast: Allows Contrast adjustment in the Y domain. The modification affects all color channels and all input
types and is a direct multiplication of the Y data after YUV black level adjustment.
Hue: Allows Hue adjustment in the UV domain. The modification affects all color channels and all input types.
Saturation: Allows Saturation adjustment in the UV domain. The modification affects all color channels and all
input types.
Flesh Tone: Allows adjustment of the gain of the V component in the UV domain. The modification affects all
color channels and all input types. The application of Flesh Tone is to correct the skin color to provide a natural
appearance of skin. This function has predefined values. Off/weak/soft/strong flesh-tone values can be selected.
Black Level: Allows Black Level adjustment in the Y domain. The modification affects all color channels and all
input types and is a subtracted from the Y data prior to YUV contrast adjustment.

Image Function VGA mode
Scaling: User can choose between 1:1, Fill, Aspect and Panorama modes.
Auto Adjust: Allows the performing of automatic setting adjustment. The display will change the settings for
optimum image quality.
Phase: This function is a slider to adjust the sampling phase of the analog interface. For optimum image quality,
input pixels should be sampled at the ideal sampling points as shown below:
Clock: This function is a slider to adjust the sample clock of the analog interface. This is helpful for improving the
image quality for non-standard display modes.
