About This Manual
This instruction manual is mainly aimed at the maintenance/service
personnel.
It explains how to use the JME-UA200 unit alignment controller, which is
used to adjust and inspect the JumboTron display units of the JumboTron
system.
Precautions
On safety
•Do not forcibly bend the power cord. Do not place or drop any heavy
object on it. If the power cord has been damaged, a fire or electric shock
hazard may occur.
•To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
•Do not use a damaged power cord.
•Do not drop any liquid or solid object into the cabinet.
On cleaning
•Clean the case and front panel with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any organic
solvents, such as alcohol or benzine which might damage the finish.
•Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning.

The JumboTron system displays video images on a large screen
(JumboTron screen) located either outdoors or indoors. Images from video
sources such as a VCR, video camera and computer can be displayed on
the screen.
The JumboTron system provides superb bright images with high
resolution, regardless of whether it is day or night, indoors or outdoors.
Images to be displayed on the JumboTron screen
The JumboTron system can display the following three types of images:
[a] Video images input from equipment such as a VCR, video camera
and video disc (INPUT 1)
[b] Computer graphics (INPUT 2)
[c] Mixed images of INPUT 1 and INPUT 2
(INPUT 1 images are superimposed on the monochrome area of
INPUT 2 images.)

Structure of the JumboTron screen
Two types of the JumboTron screen are available. One is the conventional
CRT type screen in which light emitting bodies of three primary colors (R,
G and B), “Trinilite,” are used as the light emitting element. The other is
the new LED type screen in which light emitting diodes of the three
primary colors are used.
The basic element of the JumboTron screen is an RGB trio (dot).
A “cell” consists of the dots arranged at a certain interval (picture element
pitch) and a “unit (JumboTron display unit)” consists of 12 cells for the
CRT type and 16 cells for the LED type.
There are three unit types, the JTU-35 series (with 35-mm picture element
pitch) and JTU-17 series (with 17.5-mm pitch) of the CRT type, and the
LDU-15 series (with 15-mm pitch) of the LED type. You can configure a
large JumboTron screen by arranging the JumboTron display units
vertically and horizontally to suit various uses or locations.

The JME-UA200 unit alignment controller is designed to adjust the
luminance of a JumboTron display unit, cell or pixel and to check their
operations.
The main functions of the JME-UA200 are as follows:
Eleven types of test signals
The built-in test signal generator of the controller displays eleven types of
test signals, allowing you to check various circuits and functions of a
JumboTron display unit.
Luminance adjustment of a cell and pixel as well as the whole unit
You can specify a cell or pixel (a single light emitting element of R, G and
B) which composes a JumboTron display unit and adjust its lumincance.
This allows you to obtain luminance uniformity of the whole screen.
Automatic luminance adjustment
After measuring the data of a cell which is emitting light correctly using a
sensor (not supplied), you can adjust other cells automatically to the same
data as the correct cell.
Function check of a JumboTron display unit
You can check whether a JumboTron display unit is operating properly, or
check the current conditions of a unit.
Demonstration
The controller can display a test signal automatically on a small screen,
which is a combination of several units (up to 16 units), for a
demonstration.

•If you change the CLK setting while the JumboTron display unit is in
operation, the unit cannot receive the signal from this controller. In this
case, disconnect the unit, then turn on back the power of the unit.
•If you increase the number of display lines with SPD (scroll speed) set to
01, the JumboTron display unit cannot receive the signal from the
controller correctly. If you want to increase the scroll speed, specify the
less number of display lines.
1) Line
The width of one line of the color bar is 1 dot (a set of R, G

2Selecting the target of luminance adjustment and setting the unit to the proper
brightness level for carrying out the adjustment
You can adjust the luminance of the whole unit or a specified cell or pixel.
If necessary, you can set the luminance or brightness of the whole unit to
the level at which you can easily make the adjustments. If not necessary to
set, skip steps 8 and 9 below.
6 Press the SETUP button.
7 To change the target of adjustment, select “Target” with the ◊or √
button, then press the ∫or ıbutton to change.
The display changes in the order of UNIT, CELL and PIXEL each
time you press the ∫button. (It changes in the reverse order each time
you press the ıbutton.)
When you select G1-VOLTAGE or REF-VOLTAGE in the procedure
1, PIXEL does not appear.
Example: Selecting the cell for the target of adjustment
8 To change the luminance or brightness of the whole unit, select
“Luminance” or “Brightness” with the ◊or √button, then change the
data with the ∫or ıbutton, or the numeric buttons.
The adjustable range is 256 levels from 000 to 0FF for luminance, and
16 levelss from 00 to 0F for brightness.
The level increases by 1 when you press the ∫button and decreases by
1 when you press the ıbutton. You can also select the level by
pressing the numeric buttons that correspond to its level (for exampe,
to set it to 07F, press 0, 7 then F).

Connect the sensor (not supplied) to the unit alignment controller. (See
page 11 for connection.)
First, attach the sensor to a cell with correct luminance and make the
controller read the correct data. Then attach the sensor to the cell to be
adjusted. The luminance of this cell is automatically adjusted so that the
data is the same as the correct data.
When you replace a cell, you can set the luminance of that cell to the same
level as the remaining cells.
