User Interface
User Interface Buttons
The user interface consists of five buttons, shown below in Figure 3, which are located on the front, lower
right of the monitor.
Figure 3: User Interface Buttons
Power Control
The monitor turns on automatically when connected to a power source. Power is turned off by pressing both
the “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. To turn the monitor on again, press any one of the five buttons.
Video Source
The video source is selected using the buttons labeled “GRAPHICS / VIDEO” and “INPUT SELECT”.
GRAPHICS / VIDEO switches between graphics mode (DVI and Analog RGB) and video mode (Composite,
Y/C, RGBS/YPbPrS, RGB/YPbPr and SDI). In graphics mode, INPUT SELECT switches the video source
between DVI and Analog RGB. In video mode, “INPUT SELECT” switches the video source between
Composite, Y/C, RGBS and SDI.
Direct Brightness Adjustment
Pressing the “+” or “-” button brings up the brightness control OSD (on screen display), which allows the
user to adjust the brightness of the screen. Brightness controls are identified by the symbol.
Partial Reset
Simultaneously pressing “+”, “-”, “GRAPHICS / VIDEO” and “INPUT SELECT” restores the user adjustments
for the currently active signal to the factory default state (see Table 1). To reset all signal types to the
factory default, refer to “Complete Reset” below.
Complete Reset
To restore all settings to the factory defaults, press the “MENU / SELECT” and “+” buttons simultaneously
while the unit is powered on. Any previously saved and/or current changes made by the user will be lost
and replaced with the factory default settings (see Table 1). This process may take up to 20 seconds to
complete. Following a “Complete Reset” the currently active signal will default to “Composite”.
Keyboard Lock
The keyboard lock switch is located on the back of the monitor (see Figure 1) next to the SDI connector.
The keyboard lock is active (on) when the switch is toward the back of the monitor. When keyboard lock is
active the MENU / SELECT, GRAPHICS / VIDEO and INPUT SELECT buttons are disabled. When
keyboard lock is active, the user may only adjust brightness and turn the monitor on or off. To exit the
brightness adjustment menu when keyboard lock is active, wait for the OSD menu to timeout (disappear
from the screen) or turn the monitor off and then back on.

82070-243, Revision F 10 of 22 11/24/2009
OSD (On Screen Display)
Main Menu
Pressing the “MENU / SELECT” button displays the first in a series of menus along with the menu’s
associated picture icon. To move to the desired submenus that are available for each menu function, press
the “+” or “-” key. When the desired menu function is reached, press “MENU / SELECT” again to select that
function. To exit a menu select “BACK”, this returns the screen to the previous menu. When exiting the
main menu you will be prompted to save any changes. If you do not wish to save any changes select “NO”,
otherwise select “YES”.
Brightness Adjustment
Pressing the “+” or “-” button increases or decreases the intensity of the backlight. After adjustment, the new
brightness value is displayed on the screen until the OSD timeout period expires. The new setting is then
stored.
Contrast Adjustment
Press the “+” or “-” button to adjust the contrast of the screen.
Geometry Menu
A total of 25 settings may be saved for analog graphics (RGB and DVI). When the 26th setting is saved, it
will overwrite the earliest saved settings so that the total number of saved settings consists of the most
current 25.
Left, Right, Top, Bottom Edge Adjustment- Allows adjustment to image size and position control. The
four “Edge” controls shift each edge within available limits. The maximum available shift depends on
the incoming video standard and the display panel type, and may be restricted vertically.
Clock- (Analog RGB only) sets the total number of input pixels per line to correspond with the input
source, and will normally require adjustment only for unusual signals.
Phase- (Analog RGB only) adjusts the internal clock to sample each pixel as near as possible to the
center, and will normally require adjustment only for unusual signals.
Sharpness- (Video signals only) allows the edges of an image to be digitally enhanced.
Zoom- (Video signals only) allows image to be zoomed in based around the center of the input.
Aspect Ratio- (All except Analog RGB) allows adjustment to the aspect ratio of the screen. “Overscan”
fills the screen by cropping the image, “Fill All” fills the screen by stretching or shrinking the image and
“Native Aspect Ratio” does not crop, stretch or shrink the image. (If the aspect ratio of the incoming
video is the same as the aspect ratio of the screen, the image will look the same for any of the three
options chosen.)
Color Menu
More detailed explanations of the Color Menu options can be found in the Glossary at the end of this
manual.
Color- (All except DVI and Analog RGB) allows adjustment of color saturation. Changes in saturation
will change the emphasis of the selected color component.
Contrast- Allows adjustment to the contrast of the screen. Contrast is the differentiation between
variations of similar colors.
Black Level- Allows the display to be set to discriminate between small differences in dark or near black
areas of the image.
Hue- (This function is not applicable if the selected signal is analog RGB. If the selected signal is DVI,
changing Hue will not have any effect even though the Hue function is highlighted). Changing Hue
allows adjustment to the “shade” of the colors.

Document # Revision Date
82070-243, Revision F 11 of 22 11/24/2009
Color Temperature- Allows the user to select from pre-configured color temperatures.
Component Type- (RGBS/YPbPrS and RGB/YPbPr only) allows switching the component type between
RGBS and YPbPrS (YUV). Colors will distort if RGBS mode is chosen and signal type is YPbPrS and if
YPbPrS mode is chosen and signal type is RGBS.
Red, Green & Blue Bias- Increasing the bias of a color increases the proportion of that color in the
image.
Red, Green & Blue Gain- Increasing the gain of a color multiplies the proportion of that color in the
image by a factor.
System Menu
This menu selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to picture
adjustment:
Escape- The Escape option returns to the last saved setup. It is useful if an adjustment has been made
in error. After the Escape option is chosen, the OSD menu times out (disappears from the screen).
Save- The Save option saves all the user adjustments for the displayed signal type. The new
adjustments are stored in non-volatile memory and will be available even after a power down / power up
cycle. After the Save option is chosen, the OSD menu times out.
Reset- Selecting Reset from the menu restores the user adjustable parameters for the signal currently
being displayed, back to the factory default settings (see Table 1).
OSD Timeout- This selection enables the user to control the time after which the OSD display is
cancelled (disappears from the screen). There are three options, either 5, 15 or 60 seconds.
OSD X Position- This function controls the horizontal position of the OSD display on the screen. Its
default setting places the OSD in the center of the screen, but its position can be adjusted with this
function.
OSD Y Position- This function controls the vertical position of the OSD display on the screen. Its default
setting places the OSD in the center of the screen, but its position can be adjusted with this function.
Deinterlace Mode- This is an advanced setting that should be left on its default, “Best Motion”, unless
instructed by technical support.
Display Sharpness- This option allows the user to adjust the sharpness of the image. There are four
options, “Sharp”, “Normal”, “Soft” and “Softest”.
Component Standard- This is an advanced setting that should be left on its default, “All Standards”,
unless instructed by technical support.
Component Format Search- This allows the selection of a three- wire (YPbPr, RGB) or a four-wire
(YPbPrS, RGBS) component. It can also to set to Auto Detect.
Auto Setup- (Analog RGB Only) Automatically adjusts the image by detecting the incoming signal.

Glossary
Bias (Red, Green, Blue): Increasing the bias of a color increases the proportion of that color in the image.
The level of the selected color is varied equally for all proportions. For example:
Color Number 1 Proportions Bias Increase New Color Proportions
Red = 20% 5% Red = 20% + 5% = 25%
Green = 70% 0% Green = 70%
Blue = 40% 0% Blue = 40%
Color Number 2 Proportions Bias Increase New Color Proportions
Red = 60% 5% Red = 60% + 5% = 65%
Green = 40% 0% Green = 40%
Blue = 30% 0% Blue = 30%
Note that Red has been increased by 5% regardless of its original proportion.
Since increasing the bias will add additional proportions of the color, care must be taken to assure that
variations for very weak and very intense sections of the image do not lose their “Contrast” (ability to detect
subtle variations between colors).
Black Level: This adjustment allows the display to be set to discriminate between small differences in dark
or near black areas of the image. The adjustment should make a black area of the image (such as a deep
shadow where all detail is lost in the image) appear black. The black level is decreased (less black) until a
change toward light or grey is perceived in this area, then the adjustment should be increased slightly to
restore the dark area to black. It is important to perform this adjustment on a truly black area in the image to
avoid making dark areas appear lighter than they actually are.
Brightness: The intensity of light emitted from the LCD Display. This control is similar to the effect of
changing the light behind a stained glass window. As the illumination is increased the overall light output of
the image is increased. The proper adjustment takes into consideration the ambient light in the room. For a
brightly lit room, the brightness of the display may be increased to improve the visibility of the image. In a
dimly lit room, the brightness may be decreased to reduce the impact on the eye.
Clock: This adjustment is seldom necessary, but if there is a problem with the frequency of the monitor
pixel clock that it cannot exactly match the clock signal from the camera, an adjustment may be required.
The symptom of a clock adjustment problem is the appearance of vertical bands in the image. Adjustment
of the clock will help eliminate these artifacts.
Contrast: Contrast is the differentiation between variations of similar colors. Typically contrast is set by
adjusting for best color differentiation between light yellow and white.
Gain (Red, Green, Blue): Increases in the gain of a color multiplies the proportion of that color in the image
by a factor. The actual amount of additional color is relative to the original level of that color in the image.
Using the two colors mentioned in the Bias description above, if we vary the Gain of the Red by 10% we add
10% of the original color to the original color proportion to get the new color.
Original Color Proportions Gain Increase New Color Proportions
Red = 20% 10% Red = 20% + 0.1 x 20% = 22%
Green = 70% 0% Green = 70%
Blue = 40% 0% Blue = 40%
Color Number 2 Proportions Gain Increase New Color Proportions
Red = 60% 10% Red = 60% + 0.1 x 60% = 66%
Green = 40% 0% Green = 40%
Blue = 30% 0% Blue = 30%
Notice that the increase in the color proportion of the Red is greater for greater original color proportions of
Red. Lighter reds are increased a lesser amount than darker reds as gain is increased.

Hue: Hue refers to the “shade” of the colors. Adjustment of this feature is applicable primarily to analog
signal sources. S-Video, RGBHV and VGA are analog signals. Adjustment of hue will help to correct
abnormalities in the signal. The adjustment can help in restoring the “natural” look of the colors.
Phase: This adjustment is seldom necessary, but if there is a problem with the monitor pixel clock phase or
position in relation to the pixel clock generated by the camera, a phase adjustment may be required. The
symptom of phase problems is the appearance of horizontal lines flickering through the image.
Saturation: Saturation refers to the purity of any particular color component (Red, Green or Blue). For
example, 100% Red saturation is 100% Red, 0% Green and 0% Blue. No saturation means all the color
percentages are equal. Changes in saturation will change the emphasis of the selected color component.
