Introduction

Overview

The 2RU rack-mounted RM-2443WS Series monitors set a new standard in LCD monitors for broadcast and professional video applications. They provide four 4.3", 800 x 400 resolution, 16:9 format, anti-glare IPS LCD screens. All video formats are scaled to fit on screen in the highest quality using fully digital processing, precision scaling and gamma correction to produce the best images possible.

Features

The RM-2443WS-3G2 and -3G audio/video monitors are designed for confidence monitoring of 3G/HD/SD-SDI digital video and CVBS composite analog video. Input signals are easily selected and displayed. Two to sixteen audio channels per screen may be selected for visual monitoring on bar graph style level meters. On screen markers, waveform, and vector displays can be enabled on this full-featured monitor. A headphone jack allows audible stereo monitoring of the left/right channels on all models. When mounted in a rack, they can tilt upwards or downwards for easy visibility.

Parameters are selected and adjusted using an On Screen Display (OSD) Menu. An RJ45 connector serves as the interface to the four tally lights on the front panel. Monitor settings can also be made with a web browser over Ethernet using the integral web server.

Safety

Instructions

1. Read, keep, and follow all of these instructions; heed all warnings.
2. Do not use this equipment near water.
3. Use only a dry cloth to clean the equipment.
4. Do not block any ventilation openings.
5. Do not install near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register, amplifier, or stove.
6. Do not attempt to plug the unit into a two-blade outlet (with only two prongs of equal width).

Important:

By design, this monitor will only plug into a three-prong outlet for your safety. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

1. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plug connection on the equipment and at the socket.
2. Use only the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
3. Unplug the equipment during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
4. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing will be required under all of the following conditions:

a. The equipment has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid had been spilled or objects have fallen onto the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to rain or moisture.
d. The equipment does not operate normally.
e. The equipment has been dropped.

Safety Symbols

The symbol to the left warns of electric shock hazard inside the unit. Disconnect the power cord before removing access panels when installing upgrades. Only qualified service personnel are to operate the equipment with covers removed, and are to exercise caution to avoid personal injury.

Mounting

The unit is designed for a standard 19" rack. Install it at eye level for best visual observation of the display screens or tilt it toward the user. Please adhere to the following clearances:

Table 1-1: Recommended Clearances

Clearance	Surface
24"	Front
3"	Rear
2"	Sides
1.75"	Top and Bottom (if either radiates heat)
0"	Top and Bottom (if no heat)

Heat Dissipation

The ambient temperature inside the mounting enclosure should not exceed 40^ Celsius ( 104^ Fahrenheit). Adjacent devices can be rack mounted (or stacked) in

proximity to the unit if this temperature is not exceeded. Otherwise, allow a 1RU (1.75"/44.45mm) space above and below the unit for air circulation.

Important:

These monitors contain a fan to ventilate the heat generated by the audio amplifiers, video processing circuitry, and other components. The fan opening and other vents must not be blocked. The fan can be optioned to be always on, always off, or automatic. For long product life, it is recommended that the fan not be set to always off.

Sympathetic Vibration

Sympathetic vibration from other equipment (cables, etc.) in the rack may be serious enough to interfere with the unit's sound quality. If you experience sympathetic vibrations, use thin card stock, felt, foam, or weather-stripping between the vibrating surfaces. Tie loose cables securely with cable ties.

Mechanical Bracing

The 2RU chassis is securely attached to the front panel. In addition, the chassis has mounting tabs through which you attach it to the rack rail. This feature will reduce or eliminate rear bracing requirements in many mobile/portable applications. The weight of internal components is distributed fairly evenly around the unit.

Electrical Interference

Be careful to avoid mismatched cable types and other similar causes of undesired reflections in digital signal systems. If severe enough, such reflections can result in corruption of the digital data stream. As with any audio equipment, maximum immunity from electrical interference requires the use of shielded cable; however, satisfactory results can sometimes be obtained without it. The internal circuitry ground is connected to the chassis.

Power

The unit comes with an external power supply module which connects to an AC mains power source (35W, 100 to 240 VAC, ±10%, 50/60Hz) through the IEC connector provided on the rear panel of the unit.

When the mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device should remain operable.

Compliance

FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

ICES-003

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

The RM-2443WS Web GUI allows you to customize the monitor configuration to perfectly suit your needs. The following setup steps are not necessary if you intend to use the RM-2443WS in its default configuration or if you only make configuration changes using the OSD Menus. However, the RM-2443WS Web GUI network control is ideal for configuring difficult to reach wall-mounted monitors.

Web Browser / Control Device

Any web browser application running on any networked device such as desktop or laptop computer, tablet, or smart phone can be used with the RM-2443WS Web GUI.

If a tablet without a physical network connector is to be used, it needs to be linked to a copper LAN through a Wi-Fi adaptor.

Phones are not recommended due to their smaller screen size, which would require more scrolling.

The Chrome ^® web browser is recommended for speed and compatibility.

First Time- IP Assignments

The RM-2443WS operates with a static (fixed) IPv4 address. The address will be 192.168.1.86 when received from the factory or when reset at the front panel. This is shown in Figure 4-2. The IP address will need to be changed to some other address to be compatible with the customer's network address assignments. Go to System setup, immediately after this host setup is done, to change the unit's address.

The surest way to do this, free of possible network conflicts, is to establish a direct peer-to-peer connection between the setup computer and the RM-2443WS. A 10/100/1000 MHz Ethernet switch may be used in between, but is not required.

Figure 4-1 shows an example of suitable address settings for the host computer in a Windows 7 control panel.

Figure 4-1: Host IP Settings

Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties General You can get IP settings assigned automatically if your network supports this capability. Otherwise, you need to ask your network administrator for the appropriate IP settings. Obtain an IP address automatically Use the following IP address IP address: 192 . 168 . 1 . 99 Subnet mask: 255 . 255 . 255 . 0 Default gateway: 192 . 168 . 1 . 1

After making an IP address change such as this, close the control panel and reboot the host computer to be sure the change takes effect.

Make the final address, mask and gateway changes in the RM-2443WS System setup page.

Status Page

The full network control browser window is shown in Figure 4-2. Enter the monitor's IP Address into the browser's address bar and press the Enter key to access the web server.

Select whether Monitor 1 or Monitor 2 settings are to be changed in the upper left bar, or check the Apply To All box for global control.

Throughout the Web GUI, other pages are one click away in the menu at the left side of the screen. The currently selected page is highlighted in yellow.

Note that the IN1 and IN2 video input selection, which is present only on the RM-2443WS-3G2, only switches the input and does not create a separate setup for each input.
