1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to install the Rosen 19” High-definition Widescreen displays with
integrated electronics onto your aircraft. It contains everything you need to know to wire the
display and confirm that it is functioning correctly.
Note: Only trained and qualified personnel should perform installation and service.
1.1. Unpacking
The 19”displays ship with an RC5 remote control (P/N 0500-019).
1.2. Additional System Materials
Drawings for the Rosen Model 1900 displays are available on the Rosen website at
www.rosenaviation.com.
From the Rosen Aviation home page, select the ProductsDisplaysHigh Definition
Displays tab and browse by product size.
An optional universal color display remote control (sold separately) is compatible for use with the
1702 series displays. Please contact Rosen Sales for P/N availability.
1.2.1. Connector Kits
The following connector kits (sold separately) are recommended for optimal performance:
Connector kit—26-pin female (P/N 0300-043)
Connector kit—25-pin female D-sub (P/N 0300-052)
CVBS and SDI connector kit—BNC (P/N 0300-051)
Component/RGB, digital HDMI/DVI connector kit—25-pin (P/N 0300-029)
2. VIDEO INPUTS
The 1900 series displays enable viewers to watch high-definition video as well as standard-
definition video. Available video inputs include the following:
2 HD-SDI inputs
2 composite (CVBS)
2 DVI inputs (HDMI)
RGB & Component (YPbPr) - through the DVI connectors only
Accepts inputs up to 1080p, VGA-WUXGA
Control inputs for these units are via an IR (infrared) remote interface, RS-232, or RS-485 external
inputs. The display connects to 28VDC aircraft power and receives video through a video
distribution amplifier or directly from video sources.

3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
3.1. Cooling and Ventilation
The 19” displays require free-air ventilation; do not block the top, bottom, or rear vent holes.
Options:
1-inch air gap and a minimum of 2.25 square inches vent area to the cabin above and
below the display, or
For bulkhead installations a minimum of 1700 cubic inches around the display.
For optimal performance, provide a .5-inch or greater gap between the back of the display and
the bulkhead.
3.2. Mounting Options
You can mount a 19” display from any of the four sides by removing the #10-32 screws, or use a
rear-surface mount using the threaded holes as mounting points.
Side mount–left and right (six screws)
Rear-surface mount (minimum of four screws)
Top and bottom mount (eight screws)
When mounting the display from the top, bottom, or sides, use all mounting holes. For a back
mount, use a minimum of four mounting holes. The following figures show the mounting option
dimensions for this display.
For mounting, remove only the #10-32 screws; do not remove the smaller #4-40 flathead screws.
Do not exceed a .375-inch insertion depth.
(Dimensions are in inches)

3.3. Infrared Receiver and Status LED
The display has an internal infrared (IR) remote receiver on the rear connector (pin #18) and a
status LED on the front panel. See Section 8.6, Front Panel LED, on page 25 for information
about the LED operation.
3.4. Electrical Requirements
Nominal voltage: 28VDC. Display can operate from a voltage range of 18-32VDC.
Max Power Consumption: 28 W
A grounding post connected to chassis ground is accessible for a ground connection.
Do not plug or unplug the display connector while power is
applied.
4. VIDEO CONNECTIONS
The 1900 series displays use connectors P1—P2, as shown below.
Figure 4 19" High-definition Widescreen display connections
4.1. Pinout Connections
There are several ways to connect the 19”display to an aircraft’s entertainment system.
Use the pinout descriptions on page 2 of the Outline and Installation drawings to assist in the
wiring process. Pay close attention to the pinout information while completing wiring
connections.
Note: This display is for entertainment purposes only; connect to a non-critical power bus.

5. RS-232 AND RS-485 CONTROL INPUTS
Inputs that control the display can come from an IR, RS-232-based 7-button external controller
(P/N 0300-408), or via a cabin management system using RS-232 or RS-485. The 1900 series
displays accept the following commands:

6. IR REMOTE CONTROL
The 1900 displays use a remote control for basic operations and to adjust the on-screen display
(OSD) settings. The following table shows the RC5 IR remote button layout and the button
descriptions.
Table 2 RC5 IR remote control
Note: The AUTO button works
only when an RGB source is
active. The MUTE and
VOLUME ± buttons are not
used.
How it Works
SOURCE
Switches between any enabled video inputs. Press the SOURCE
button twice to switch inputs. The first command sent will only display
the current source name in the upper-left corner of the monitor; the
second command switches the source.
POWER
Turns the power on and off. The LED indicator on the IR window is
black when the power is off and green when power is on. The LED can
be turned off so that it will not illuminate.
MENU
Opens the Main Menu to access other settings and fine-tune the
display’s picture quality. For details, see Section 7, OSD Menu
Options, on page 11.
EXIT
Closes the OSD and saves settings. Exit does not close control bars.
ENTER
Accepts changes to menu settings. Selects menu options, accepts
settings, and closes the control bars.
◄►▲▼
Controls the navigation in the on-screen display menus. Navigate
between the OSD menu pages, options, and change settings.
ASPECT
Changes the aspect ratio or proportions of the picture depending on
the video format. Switches between Full Screen, Pillar Box, and
Letterbox Expanded. See also Section 7.2.2, Aspect Ratio, on
page 12.
INFO
Opens the Info page on the OSD. Use INFO to verify source and
resolution values. Also quick access to open the Technician Menu.
AUTO
(RGB only) Performs an auto-adjust function without a menu. Forces
the display to evaluate the RGB signals and ensure it is interpreting
them correctly. See also Section 7.2.5, Auto Adjust, on page 14.
BRIGHT ±
Opens the backlight control bar. See also Section 7.2.1, Backlight, on
page 12.
