• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines.

About the LCD Display Panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor's screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor's screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to normal.
• If the unit is used in a hot place, the screen may become dark. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor cools down, the screen returns to normal.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

On Burn-in

For LCD panel, permanent burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.

Images that may cause burn-in

• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9 • Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or the operating state

To reduce the risk of burn-in

• Turn off the character displays. Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn off the character displays of the connected equipment, operate the connected equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use. Turn off the power if the monitor is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.

On a Long Period of Use

Due to the characteristics of the LCD panel, displaying static images for extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity environment may cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall brightness.

In particular, continued display of an image smaller than the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio, may shorten the life of the unit.

Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity environment such as an airtight room, or around the outlet of an air conditioner.

To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend reducing brightness slightly, and turning off the power whenever the unit is not in use.

Handling the 3D Glasses

• Do not touch the lens surface of the 3D glasses.
• Do not leave the 3D glasses in ambient high-temperature, such as near heating equipment or inside a car.
• Do not put extra pressure on the 3D glasses to avoid them becoming misshapen.
• Make sure hard accessories or buckles do not touch the lens surface of 3D glasses while holding or transporting.
• Avoid wearing the 3D glasses when they are aging, breaking, or damaged. Tiny scratches on the lens surface may interfere with your viewing enjoyment. Lying down or looking away from the screen will lessen the 3D effect or shift image colors.

On Cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

On cleaning the monitor and 3D glasses

A material that withstands disinfection is used for the front protection plate of the medical use LCD monitor. The protection plate surface is specially treated to reduce light reflection, as are the 3D glasses. When solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline, or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth are used for the protection plate surface/monitor surface, the performance of the monitor may be impaired or the finish of the surface may be damaged. Take care with respect to the following:

• Clean the protection plate surface/monitor surface/3D glasses with a 50 to 70 v/v% concentration of isopropyl alcohol or a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of ethanol using a swab method. Wipe the protection plate surface gently (wipe using less than 1 N force).
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution using a swab method and then clean using the above chemical solution. Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline, or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth for cleaning or disinfection, as they will damage the protection plate surface/monitor surface.
• Do not use unnecessary force to rub the protection plate surface/monitor surface with a stained cloth.

The protection plate surface/monitor surface may be scratched.

- Do not keep the protection plate surface/monitor surface/3D glasses in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time. The finish of the surface may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

Disposal of the Unit

- Do not dispose of the unit with general waste. Do not include the monitor with household waste.

Recommendation to Use more than One Unit

As problems can occasionally occur for the monitor, when the monitor is used for safety control of personnel, assets or stable picture, or for emergencies, we strongly recommend you use more than one unit or prepare a spare unit.

Left and right HD-SDI input signals are displayed in a grid pattern. The two signals shown in a grid makes for easy adjusting of the iris and color settings for the camera. This function is only available in 2D display mode.

L/R switch

Left and right dual-stream HD-SDI signals can be swapped over without being visually disturbed by black frames. This allows you to easily compare the color and brightness between left and right signals. This function is only available in 2D display mode.

Disparity simulation

The phase of either or both left and right signal for 3D image can shift horizontally. The monitor simulates parallax without the need for 3D rig adjustment. It saves time and effort in setting and adjusting the 3D rig and equipment.

Note

Simulated images cannot be output to any device.

Horopter check

Left/right signals for the 3D image are displayed in selected single colors. This helps you define if the subjects are in front of the determined screen position or behind it. You can carefully adjust the depth of the 3D effect using this feature. This function is only available in 3D display mode.

Flip H

If a half mirror type rig is used, left or right signal will be reversed. With the Flip H feature, signals that are shot this way are horizontally reversed again for normal viewing.

Note

A delay between left and right signals occurs as a result of the signal processing. Because left and right signals are internally synchronized to offset the delay, display speed may decrease before the image reaches the screen.

Payload ID

Channel assign information of payload ID data superimposed on input signals is displayed. You can monitor which of two channels a left/right input signal is assigned to.

Picture

Fully digital 10-bit signal processing circuit

As well as digital signals, all signals including analog signals are converted into digital signals. All signals are processed using a fully digital 10-bit processing circuit so that an image is produced in smooth gradation without any deterioration of quality.

Auto chroma/phase function

The chroma and phase of the decoder are automatically adjusted.

High image-quality/high-resolution Full HD LCD panel

A Full HD high-resolution (1,920 × 1,200 dots) panel and high brightness/ultra-wide field of view technology enable you to use the monitor under various lighting conditions and in numerous ways (installing on wall, using several monitors to view an image, and so on.). Because a color filter with wide-color reproduction and LCD materials with high response speed are used, the motion picture of the video signal is displayed clearer. This monitor also performs sampling of signals at high frequencies and provides a high resolution of 700 TV scanning lines or more during the RGB or component signal (480/60i, 575/50i) input.

Input
