Connect cable (1) between the LCD panel and the computer. Use the Y- split on the computer end to connect the monitor. If you have a Macintosh computer, insert applicable adapters (2) and (3) as shown. Connect the power supply to the LCD panel (4). TO SET UP FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL: STEP OPERATION 1 Press RESET for default settings 2 Adjust TUNE for a stable image. *) 3 Position the image correctly using the four POSITION keys 5 Adjust CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS as desired *) If a stable image is not achieved using TUNE, try to adjust the BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST setting as described later. 8 USER GUIDE LCD PANEL 6 USING THE LCD PANEL The LCD panel has a set of connectors that you need to know in order to operate the device correctly. 6.1 REMOTE CONTROL The infrared remote control (RC) is the main user interface to the device. The RC is used to set the LCD panel correctly (to get the best possible viewing conditions) and to control the presentation. The figure shows the different keys of the remote control. * Grey area does not apply for this product. Set-up should be done once with the application(s) you are running most frequently. Allow some minutes for the equipment to warm up before adjusting. Most settings will automatically be memorized individually for each source for future use. 9 USER GUIDE LCD PANEL The 'MEM' column in the tables below indicates whether the setting is memorized for each source. For a detailed overview, see the Features section. REMOTE CONTROL KEYS: CONTROL FUNCTION MEM CONTR Contrast (ratio between light and dark colors) YES BRIGHT Brightness (whiteness) YES FREQ Frequency (horizontal width) YES TUNE Stability (phase) YES BLACK Blackens the screen NO MAC Selects standard or LC type MAC YES REAR Flips the image horizontally for rear projection NO POSITION Image position on screen YES ON/OFF Turns the panel on/off - RESET Defaults to standard settings - 10 USER GUIDE LCD PANEL 6.2 CONNECTORS All connectors are positioned on the right hand side of the LCD panel. See the technical data section for pinouts of the various connectors. Do not connect any other devices with similar plugs to the connectors of the LCD panel, as this voids any warranty and may cause permanent damage to the device. CONNECTOR FUNCTION POWER Low voltage power supply COMPUTER Connector for analog RGB in/out 6.3 LOCKING THE PANEL To avoid having your LCD panel stolen you can use a safety lock. On the connector bracket described above you will find a slot marked with the symbol for instalment of your safety lock. Please consult the user instructions included with your lock before connecting it to the panel. 11 USER GUIDE LCD PANEL FEATURES The LCD panel has a variety of different features implemented. This chapter explains each feature in detail. DUAL SAFECOOL SYSTEM The cooling operation is controlled by the overhead projector light (OHP). This safety feature ensures that the fans are always operating as long as the OHP is turned on. When the OHP is turned off, the fans automatically stop to minimize noise. The power supply must be attached to the panel for the fan to work properly. SET-UP MEMORY The user controlled set-up, that usually is done each time the panel is connected to a new computer, is automatically memorized for future use. The set-up information is stored in a non-volatile memory approximately 5 seconds after the last key is pressed. The memory can store 40 different sources/modes. Some sources are predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up of sources. See the Technical Data section for compatibility. Custom sources are stored only if their sync pattern differs from any of the previous selections. The panel automatically selects a new memory location. Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast, brightness, tune etc. See the remote control table above. VGA TEXT VGA text is compressed correctly from 720x400 to 640x400 mode when the image is positioned correctly. The characters maintain their shape, as every ninth pixel is dropped horizontally between each character. 12 USER GUIDE LCD PANEL CONTRAST The contrast of an image is defined as the relation between dark and light colors. An image of high contrast is often regarded as 'hard', as compared to the 'soft' feeling of a low contrast image. Low contrast is recommended for long term viewing, while high contrast is used to enhance details. Use the CONTR keys on the remote control (RC) to adjust the contrast. Also see Brightness. The contrast setting is stored individually for each mode. BRIGHTNESS The brightness is the amount of white in an image. The brightness is adjusted to the ambient lighting conditions. Use the BRIGHT keys to adjust brightness. See also Contrast. The brightness setting is stored individually for each source. FREQUENCY This setting is usually not changed by the user. It is however provided in case of adaptation to special graphic cards that are close to one of those in the compatibility...
