1. INTRODUCTION
Rosen’s Remote Display System consists of an ultra-thin remote display module and a high-
definition remote electronics box. The remote electronics design provides more mounting options
because the video processing electronics box can be located up to 50 feet from the display. The
high-definition display modules are available in a range of sizes and mounting options that allow
customers to configure a system that fits their aircraft’s cabin interior.
This manual provides general instructions about how to install all bulkhead configurations of the
Remote Display System onto your aircraft. It contains everything you need to know to wire the
components and confirm that the system is functioning correctly.
Note: Only trained and qualified personnel should perform installation and service.
1.1. Remote Display Modules
The Remote Monitor Electronics Box (RMEB) will operate one Remote Display Module (RDM),
regardless of the size. Remote Display Modules have three distinct mounting options –flush
mount, semi-proud mount, and proud mount configurations –and they are available in the
following sizes:
19”
24”
26”
32”
1.2. System Components
To learn more about the following Remote Display System components and to access the
drawings, visit our website at www.rosenaviation.com.
Remote Monitor Electronics Box (P/N 0700-104 MOD 01)
Remote Display Modules (RDM) by size
Mounting accessories: bezel, cosmetic back, and credenza
From the Rosen Aviation home page, select the ProductsDisplaysHigh Definition
Displays tab and browse by product size. For more information about a remote display system,
please contact Rosen Sales or Technical Support.
1.2.1. IR Remotes
The RMEB provides 5V @100mA output to power an external IR receiver. The remote
monitors do not have a built-in IR sensor. The following options (sold separately) enable
remote inputs with the Remote Display System and adjust the on-screen display settings:
External IR Receiver (P/N 0500-006)
Universal color display remote control (contact Rosen Sales for P/N availability)
Note: For directions on operating the optional universal remote control, refer to the user’s
guide enclosed with the remote.

1.2.2. RMEB Connector Kits
The following connector kits (sold separately) are recommended:
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)
1.2.3. Monitor Connector Kit
The remote monitors use the same connections regardless of the size:
RJ-45 Plug connector kit—(P/N 0300-050)
DB15 female connector kit—(P/N 0300-053)
1.3. Mounting Configurations
The Rosen remote display monitors can be flush mounted, mounted with a sleek bezel, or
proud-mounted between a bezel and cosmetic back plate, as shown below. Please contact
Rosen Sales for bezel kit requirements.

1.3.1. Bulkhead Mounting Requirements
A flush mounted RDM can mount either from the back, through an interior wall, or from
the front mounting tabs. Proud mounted RDMs must be mounted from the front into the
cosmetic back.
Minimum fasteners required is four 8-32 or eight 4-40 screws.
Maximum projection of screws into the 19”, 26”, and 32” flush mount rear
chassis is ¼”.
Maximum projection of screws into the 24” flush mount rear chassis is 3/8”.
The manual groups monitors by size. Outline and Installation drawings are available to
assist in the installation process. Pay close attention to the dimensions when considering
installation requirements. Dimensions for some models may vary, so be sure to consult
the latest drawings.
Touching the LCD with excessive force may leave pressure spots
that show in video display. Handle with care.
2. VIDEO INPUTS
The Rosen Remote Display System enables viewers to watch high-definition video as well as
standard-definition video. The 0700-104 remote electronics box supplies the following video
inputs.
Two 3G-SDI inputs
Two composite (CVBS)
Two DVI inputs (HDMI)
RGB & Component (YPbPr) - through the DVI connectors only
Accepts inputs up to 1080p, VGA-WUXGA
This unit can be controlled via an IR (infrared) remote interface, RS-232-based 7-button external
controller (P/N 0300-408), 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 RMEB and RDMs do not require any external forced-air cooling.
RMEB venting: Do not block the side fans on the RMEB. The fan openings require a
minimum of 4 square inches of free air ventilation –2 square inches per side.
RDM clearance: The RDMs require a ½-inch minimum of clearance for the top and
bottom vents or ½-inch clearance to the entire back of the unit.
3.2. Mounting the RMEB
You can mount the RMEB in any orientation with a minimum of six #8 screws (three per flange).
Figure 2 Dimensions for the RMEB mounting holes
Use care to prevent debris from entering the housing fan openings during installation. For
questions about an installation, please contact Rosen Technical Support.

4. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COSMETIC COMPONENTS
This section provides instructions about how to assemble the cosmetic backs and bezels.
Note: Protect cosmetic and sensitive components from scratches, nicks, and debris during
hardware installation.
To add a stylish, proud-mount option, mount the cosmetic back to the bulkhead, attach the RDM to
the cosmetic back, and then snap on the bezel. Figure 15 shows an exploded view of a proud-
mount assembly. Align the four tabs on the monitor with the four mounting brackets on the
cosmetic back plate. Secure with two 4-40 fasteners in each tab/bracket. For more dimensional
information, see Section 3, Installation Guidelines, or the drawing for your specific assembly.
Figure 15 RDM with a proud-mount bezel assembly
4.1. Mounting Cosmetic Backs to a Bulkhead
There are two styles of mounting brackets on the cosmetic backs depending on the size of RDM
that you are installing. The cosmetic backs are a universal fit—there is no top or bottom.
Attach the 19”, 24”, and 26” cosmetics back to the bulkhead using the four mounting
brackets and minimum of four FHP screws (customer supplied) in the .188 mounting
holes, as shown below.

4.2. Mounting a Bezel
Mount the cosmetic back and monitor before attaching the bezel. To attach a bezel to an RDM,
align the mounting bosses with the monitor standoffs and gently press on the retaining clips to
snap the bezel into place.
Bezels attach around the perimeter of the RDMs with retention fasteners. The quantity and type
of bezel fasteners varies depending on the size of the bezel and RDM. Figure 18 shows the
different assembled retention fasteners on the bezels.

5. SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The RDM receives power, control, and serialized video from the RMEB located up to 50 feet away,
as shown below. The RMEB outputs a serialized video signal via an RJ-45 cable from P4 and
provides conditioned power and control to the RDM via a harness with DB15 connectors from P3.
We recommend using Siemon ZM6A-S(xx)-(xx) RJ45 cable up to 50 feet in length. If using an
alternate cable or multiple connections, please contact Rosen Aviation for additional information.
See the wiring tables on the Outline & Installation drawings for more details.

5.2. Pinout Connections
There are several ways to connect the remote display system to an aircraft’s entertainment
system.
Pay close attention to the pinout descriptions on the Outline and Installation drawings to assist in
completing the wiring connections.
Note: This display is for entertainment purposes only; connect to a non-critical power bus.
6. RS-232 AND RS-485 CONTROL INPUTS
Inputs that control the RDMs 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 0700-104
RMEB accepts the following commands:

7. INITIAL POWER UP
Make sure that power is turned off and connect the following harnesses to the RMEB connectors:
1. Ensure positive ground connections on the RMEB housing and monitor chassis
grounding lugs.
2. Connect an external IR control or RS-232/RS-485 communication harness to P1.
3. Connect 28VDC power to P2.
4. Attach extra cabling length (50 feet max.) to the RDM DB 15 pigtail and connect to P3.
5. Attach extra Siemon ZM6A-S(xx)-(xx) cabling (50 feet max.) to the RDM RJ-45 pigtail
and connect to P4. Ground and strain relieve harnesses on RJ-45 connectors using
the brackets provided.
6. Connect the available video inputs.
7. Apply power and wait for a signal on the RDM. The default setting for the RMEB is
Auto On and the default source is SDI 1.
Do not plug or unplug the display connector while power is
applied.
When cycling power, leave unit off for 20 seconds before restoring
power.
