Advanced Color Adjustment

The SpectraView Engine (SVE) is a custom color processor engine integrated in the monitor. It combines individual characterization and calibration of the monitor during production together with temperature and time monitoring, to provide an unparalleled level of color control, accuracy and stability.

Adjustable color uniformity correction is available, utilizing detailed individual factory screen measurements together with the SVE to produce the best possible matching displays.

The SVE provides the utmost in versatility; from faster and more advanced color calibration, to the ability to accurately emulate colorspaces such as Adobe ^® RGB and sRGB, to performing printer output emulations using ICC Profiles and internal 3D Look Up Tables.

The SVE can operate in one of two modes: On or Off

To enable or disable the SpectraView Engine using the remote control:

1. Press the MENU button.
2. Navigate to the [PICTURE] menu then to [SPECTRAVIEW ENGINE].
   Use the ▲ ▼ ▶ ◀ buttons to navigate the OSD menu.
3. Highlight [ON] or [OFF] and press SET to enable or disable the SpectraView Engine.
4. Press EXIT button to return to the main [PICTURE] menu.

Using the SpectraView Engine

When the SVE is on, the monitor's internal processor will handle many of the color management features and the user color controls allow a unique level of precision to be achieved. The white point is adjusted using a CIE x, y control and the grayscale response of the display is calculated and managed by the monitor itself.

The SVE includes Uniformity Correction, where different levels of compensation can be selected to enable a trade-off between the most uniform brightness and color vs. maximum brightness.

The SVE has five Picture Mode memories that can be individually configured and selected. Each individual Picture Mode can store fully customized color settings. This allows you to quickly switch between different settings by just changing between picture modes.

Using the SVE will also give access to other advanced functionality, such as the ability to emulate several modes of human color vision deficiency as well as the ability to select the monitor's output color gamut.

To change the settings in each SVE picture mode:

Presets have been configured with settings for general use as described in the "Preset Types" table next page. When choosing a preset for the SVE picture mode, all of the settings are immediately adjusted to match the preset. Each setting can be individually adjusted to customize as needed.

	HDR-ST2084 (PQ): Gamma setting for HDR, typically for UHD disk media and streaming videos. Peak luminance value is adjustable.
		PEAK LUMI.: Sets the peak luminance value to display HDR-ST2084 (PQ) luminance range. A larger value will improve white saturation but the picture become darker. When “Auto” is selected, “Luminance” is used as the peak luminance setting.
	DICOM: DICOM GSDF (Grayscale Standard Display Function) is typically used for medical imaging.
	Programmable: A programmable gamma curve can be loaded using optional SHARP software.
	Custom: Set a custom value for Peak luminance.
		CUSTOM VALUE: The gamma value is selected from a range from 0.5 to 4.0 in 0.1 steps. For general images 2.2 is used. Increasing the value will make the intermediate color darker, and lowering the value will make the intermediate color brighter.
WHITE (K) Adjusts the white by color temperature (K) or CIE x, y setting. A lower color temperature will result in a reddish screen and a higher color temperature in a bluish screen. A larger x value will result in a reddish screen, a larger y value changes the screen to greenish, and smaller x,y values will change the screen to bluish white.

SVE SETTINGS PURPOSE

RED (x,y)

GREEN (x,y)

BLUE (x,y)

Adjusts the color gamut. Set chromaticity with CIE x, y coordinates. It affects all colors except achromatic like white and gray.

NOTE: • Settings for [EMULATION], [6 AXIS COLOR TRIM], and [PICTURE SETTING] are also stored to each [PICTURE MODE].

- If the ICC Profile on your computer doesn't match the monitor's settings then color reproduction may be inaccurate.

Using Stand-alone calibration

This feature performs color calibration of the monitor without using an external computer or software. This is useful for color matching a small number of monitors quickly. It also updates the factory color measurement data used by the monitor's internal SpectraView Engine (SVE) color processor.

Updating the factory color data with measurements taken from a color sensor results in color related settings, shown on the OSD, closely matching measurements from the color sensor. In effect, the color sensor's measurements become the new reference for all of the SVE's internal color calculations. All color presets in the monitor automatically update to use the new reference.

Requirements for Stand Alone Calibration:

- MDSVSENSOR3 color sensor. This sensor connects directly to the USB1 (SENSOR) port on the monitor. The monitor automatically takes screen measurements directly from the color sensor. See Appendix A for purchase and availability information.

Or

- A near-range colorimeter with a measurement readout display in CIE Y/x, y format with Y in units of cd/m ² . Measurements are taken manually and each reading must be entered into the monitor via the OSD using the remote control. [VALIDATION] and [WHITE COPY] are not available.

NOTE: Other color sensor models and types are not supported.

NOTE: • For best calibration results, it is recommended the monitor be allowed to warm up for at least 30 minutes before starting the calibration or measurement process.

- It is not necessary to recalibrate the other Picture Modes in the monitor after performing the Self Calibration. Updating the monitor's internal reference automatically updates all color settings.

- The original factory measurements can be restored at any time.

- Access to each monitor's USB1 (SENSOR) port is necessary to use this feature with the MDSVSENSOR3 color sensor. Be sure to provide adequate access when installing the monitors.

- Differences between the factory color measurements and those taken with a color sensor are to be expected. Differences can be due to many factors, such as variations between color sensor measurement technologies and device calibration and drift, measurement position on the screen, and video signal differences.

- For color matching and managing a large number of monitors, the Display Wall Calibrator software is recommended. See Appendix A for details.

- To open Stand Alone Calibration OSD menu, select Calibration (see page 102) on the OSD. Please make sure [SPECTRAVIEW ENGINE] is [ON] (see page 102).

To open the STAND-ALONE CALIBRATION window using the remote control:

1. Press the MENU button.
2. Navigate to the [PICTURE] menu then to [SPECTRAVIEW ENGINE].

Use the ▲▼▶◀ buttons to navigate the OSD menu.

1. Highlight [ON] and press SET button to enable the SpectraView Engine.

2. Navigate to [CALIBRATION] then press SET button. The STAND-ALONE CALIBRATION window appears.

3. Highlight a menu then press SET button.

4. Press the EXIT button to close the OSD window.

Follow the instructions on the OSD message.

Self calibration

This function updates the monitor's internal SpectraView Engine color processor to use measurements taken using a supported color sensor device. These measurements will become the reference for all color settings in the monitor.

When an MDSVSENSOR3 color sensor is connected to the monitor's USB1(SENSOR) port, the monitor takes measurements and is calibrated automatically. Place the color sensor at the center of the screen and follow the messages displayed.

Otherwise, if using a near-range colorimeter device, measurements must be taken manually with the device and the CIE Y/x/y values individually entered via the OSD using the remote control. Y is in units of cd/m².

Depending on the monitor usage and other factors, performing a Self Calibration at least once per year is recommended.

Reset calibration

This deletes the color measurement data created by the Self Calibration function and returns to the original factory internal reference color measurement data. All Picture Modes will automatically be updated. If you are using display Wall Calibrator, uniformity adjustment data is also deleted.

Validation*

This can be used to determine if the Self Calibration operation should be performed.

It compares measurements taken of various color patches on the screen by the color sensor with the expected values calculated by the SVE, which uses the current internal reference color measurement data. The result of this comparison is indicated as an average color difference (dE) value. Larger values mean there is a larger difference between the measurements and the internal reference. If the dE value is higher than 3.0, Self Calibration is recommended to update the internal reference color data.

*: The Self Calibration function must have been previously performed before this function is available on the OSD menu.

NOTE: • [Self calibration], [Validation] and [WHITE COPY] are not available if the source HDMI signal resolution is 3840 x 2160 (60 Hz).

- The date and time stamped results of the "Self calibration" and "Validation" functions are stored in the monitor and can be read by software on your computer. Setting the [SCHEDULE] → [DATE & TIME] in OSD menu is required for this function.

White copy*

This function can be used to "copy" the luminance and white point from another monitor when used in a multi-monitor installation. This process is done by measuring the color of a monitor and setting those measured values into the monitor being adjusted. This can be useful in situations where it is necessary to match a monitor in color to neighboring monitors without having to recalibrate all monitors.

Before starting, it is necessary to input a full-white video signal to all of the monitors. Select the monitor that will be used as the Target – or source - of the copy operation (A).

This function will measure the luminance and white point of the target monitor (A), and set these values to the current Picture Mode of the destination monitor (B).

You can also fine-tune the measurement result while checking the screen color. If you want to return to the measured value, select re-measurement.

*: The Self Calibration function must have been previously performed before this function is available on the OSD menu.

Monitor A – SOURCE monitor of white point to copy. Monitor B – This monitor which performs a copy.

NOTE: When adjusting the color of multiple displays, we recommend that you perform [SELF CALIBRATION] from [WHITE COPY].

Using Other Picture Modes

When the SpectraView Engine is off, the white point can be adjusted using familiar red, green and blue level controls. To turn SpectraView Engine off, see page 45 for instructions.

Picture Mode Types

PICTURE MODE PURPOSE

HIGH BRIGHT Highest brightness setting.

STANDARD Standard setting.

sRGB The standard color space used for the Internet, Windows®operating systems and digital cameras.Recommended setting for general color management.

CINEMA A setting that boosts dark tones; best suited for movies.

CUSTOM Custom setting.

NOTE: Changing any of the settings of the [PICTURE] in the OSD menu will change the settings for the current input only.

Multi-Picture mode lets you see video input from two different sources. The secondary input can be viewed in a inset window on the main video (Picture-In-Picture), or the two inputs can be viewed next to each other (Picture-By-Picture).

The instructions in this section guide you through configuring Multi-Picture Mode in the monitor's OSD menu. These settings can also be configured using the monitor's web controls. The function names and location in the web controls are the same as the OSD menu. See page 81.

To enable multi-picture mode:

1. Press the MENU button on the remote control to bring up on the On Screen Display (OSD).
2. Navigate through the OSD menu to [MULTI-INPUT] → [MULTI PICTURE MODE], select [ON], and then choose either [PIP] or [PBP].

- PIP (Picture-In-Picture) — select this option to have a second input viewed in a subset window.

- PBP (Picture-By-Picture) — select this option to have the two inputs viewed next to each other.

PIP (Picture-In-Picture) settings:

1. Navigate to [INPUT SELECT] on the OSD.

- Select an input source for Picture1 (main input) and Picture2 (secondary input).

1. Navigate to [ACTIVE PICTURE] on the OSD.

- Change the Active Picture to [PICTURE2].

The Picture Size, Position, and Aspect functions are for configuring the settings of the sub-picture window (Picture2). They will remain disabled as long as [PICTURE1] is the active picture.

- Active Frame is the red frame shown around the currently selected Active Picture area when the OSD menu is open. This frame can be turned on or off on this menu. When multi-picture mode is enabled, the red frame makes it easy to see which picture is active when making changes in other areas of the Multi-Input OSD menu.

1. You can now adjust the settings for sub-picture window.

• Picture Size — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to increase or reduce the size of the sub-picture.
• Picture Position — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to move the sub-picture window.
- Picture Aspect — adjust the aspect ratio for the sub-picture window.

PBP (Picture-By-Picture) settings:

1. Navigate to [INPUT SELECT] on the OSD.

- Select an input source for [PICTURE1] and [PICTURE2].

1. Navigate to [ACTIVE PICTURE] on the OSD.

- Select either [PICTURE1] or [PICTURE2].

The Picture Size, Position, and Aspect functions are configured separately for each input.

- Active Frame is the red frame shown around the currently selected Active Picture area when the OSD menu is open. This frame can be turned on or off on this menu. When multi-picture mode is enabled, the red frame makes it easy to see which picture is active when making changes in other areas of the Multi-Input OSD menu.

1. You can now adjust the settings for each window.

• Picture Size — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to increase or reduce the size of the active picture window.

• Picture Position — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to move the active picture window.

- Picture Aspect — adjust the aspect ratio for the active picture window.

Additional settings in the Multi-Input OSD menu:

Keep Multi-Picture Mode — select this option to have the monitor remain in Multi-Picture mode and Text Ticker mode after powering off.

Text Ticker — select either Horizontal or Vertical to enable this option. When enabled, a portion of the secondary input will be displayed either horizontally or vertically across the screen. This area can be used to display video from the second video input source, for example, as a text ticker application.

The position and amount (size) of where the secondary video is displayed can be adjusted. The top or left side of the secondary input video signal is used as the source of the video displayed.

- Position — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to move where the secondary input appears on the screen.

- Size — use the ▶ or ◀ remote control buttons to increase or reduce the size of the text ticker area.

The Text Ticker function displays the top portion of the second source. Adjusting the size of the Text Ticker area adjusts how much of the top or left portion of the second source is displayed.

- Detect — automatically turns the Text Ticker function on and off based on the presence of the secondary video signal.

- Input Select — the input signal for the primary [PICTURE1] and secondary [PICTURE2] sources.

Input Detect — select one of the functions to enable automatic detection of input signal.

- First Detect — when the monitor does not detect video signal on the current input, it will search for video signals on the other inputs and switch to the first active video signal it detects.

- Last Detect — when the monitor is currently displaying an active video signal and a new secondary source is detected, the monitor automatically switches to the new video source. If there is no current input signal, it will search for video signals on the other inputs and switch to the first active video signal it detects.

- Custom Detect — select this option and then choose an input source for each of the options. The monitor will only search for active signal on the selected video inputs. This is useful for “failsafe” applications when a backup video signal is used only if the primary video signal source disappears.

Input Change — this option changes the speed at which the monitor changes to a different video input.

When a cable is connected to the HDMI OUT port, speed of changing input may not be faster.

When a cable is connected to the HDMI OUT port, if [QUICK] or [SUPER] is set, this setting causes image distorted while switching signals.

- Quick — this option switches faster than Normal (default) but there may be image noise when switching signals. When you set QUICK then change input signal to DisplayPort, displaying image is distorted.

- Super — select this option and then choose the video signal for INPUT1 and INPUT2. The video signal between these two inputs.

Terminal Setting — the options in this section are for configuring settings specific to the type of signal input. Please see to "TERMINAL SETTINGS" on page 107 in the "Appendix B OSD Controls List" tables.

Select OK then press SET button on the remote control to save the settings. If OK is not pressed, the settings you configured are not saved.

Shift to No Signal

Under normal operation on the other video input connections, when video signal is lost, such as when a Blu-ray player turns off, the monitor registers “No Signal” and enters power save mode.

When the Media Player is the current signal input, the Media Player is always on and sends video signal to the monitor. This prevents the monitor from entering power save mode, even when the Media Player is not actively playing files.

When SHIFT TO NO SIGNAL is enabled, the Media Player basically tells the monitor that there is no current video signal and to shift to no signal mode. This allows the monitor to register "No Signal" and enter power save mode, just as it would on the other video inputs when loss of video signal occurs.

The amount of time between when the Media Player is last used before it tells the monitor to shift to no signal can be adjusted.

The monitor shifts to no signal under the following conditions:

• After the Media Player stops playing content.
- While the monitor is displaying the Media Player home screen, USB ☐ window or SD CARD ☐ window, and no buttons have been pressed on the remote control or monitor control panel during the interval period you set.

Menu Function
ENABLE Check the checkbox to enable [SHIFT TO NO SIGNAL].
	INTERVAL Set the time between when the Media Player is last used to when the monitor goes into no signal mode.

Select OK then press SET button on the remote control to save the settings. If OK is not pressed, the settings you configured are not saved.

Copying Files to the microSD memory card

There are two options for copying files to the microSD memory card when it is already inserted in the monitor. Files can be copied from a network folder or a USB storage device via the CONTENTS COPY option, or via the SD-CARD VIEWER in a web browser.

Copying files from a USB storage device is useful to easily change the content on the microSD memory card, without removing the microSD memory card and its cover from the monitor. Copying the files from a network folder or via a web browser are useful when the monitor is in a location that is not easily accessible.

When using the CONTENTS COPY option, the microSD memory card will be erased then the files will be copied from the selected folder.

Copying Files to the microSD memory card

1. Either connect a USB storage device to the Media Player USB port on the monitor, or configure the [SHARED FOLDER SETTINGS] in the Media Player's [NETWORK & OTHER SETTINGS] (see page 61).
2. From the Media Player's home screen select [CONTENTS COPY] then press SET button.
   The [CONTENTS COPY] screen shows any network folders that have been configured and the "USB" icon if a USB storage device is connected.
3. Select either USB or a network folder containing the files you want to copy to the microSD memory card then press SET button.
4. On the confirmation screen, select OK then press SET button.
   The entire contents of the network folder or USB storage device will be copied to the microSD memory card. Make sure the microSD memory card's storage capacity is large enough to save the files you want to add.

NOTE: “Out of disk space” is displayed if the microSD memory card storage capacity is not enough to copy the selected folder.
- When pressing OK to start CONTENTS COPY, previous data that was saved on the microSD memory card is immediately deleted. Canceling the CONTENTS COPY function will not restore the previous files.
• Devices that are not inserted will be displayed in gray.
- While the monitor is copying files, do not eject the microSD memory card from the monitor and do not turn off the monitor's main power. Ejecting the microSD memory card or turning off the monitor while copying files may corrupt the data.
- If you press the STANDBY button on the remote control or the ⏻ button on the monitor while the copy function is in progress, the image will disappear and the LED indicator will blink red. After the copy is complete, the LED indicator will light up red.

NOTE: If the connection to a shared folder fails, an error message is shown and an "x" is displayed on the folder icon. Check for the following if this occurs:

• Is the name of the network folder correct?

• Is the network folder set for sharing?

- Have access rights been set in the network folder?

- Are there displayable files saved in the network folder?

Using SD-CARD VIEWER in a Web Browser

When using the SD-CARD VIEWER to copy files to the microSD memory card, individual files can be added to the microSD memory card without first erasing its content. Because files are added to the microSD memory card via its web controls in an internet browser, files can be copied from either a computer or a mobile device, such as a tablet, that is connected to the same network as the monitor.

Copying Files to the microSD memory card

1. Enable the [SHARED SD CARD] settings in the Media Player's [NETWORK & OTHER SETTINGS] (see page 61).

→ "Video Out Connection" on page 70
→ "Setting the Remote Control ID Function" on page 71

Connecting Multiple Monitors

Monitors can be connected to each other, both communication and video connections, in multiple display installations. Chaining the video connections together creates a video wall where a single image can be tiled across all displays. When connecting multiple monitors to install a video wall, communication and video cable connections are necessary and their configuration must be carefully considered. Please refer to the "Wiring Diagram" on page 22 for making communication and video connections.

The monitor settings for configuring a video wall in the OSD and Monitor Webpage settings are under [MULTI-DISPLAY].

- [AUTO TILE MATRIX SETUP] – automatically configures the multi-display settings when the communication and video ports are chained together. This automatically sets the [MONITOR ID] and position of the monitors in the video wall following the physical wiring between the monitors.

Input the number of monitors arranged horizontally and vertically on the master monitor. The following settings are set automatically when you run the auto setup: [MONITOR ID], [TILE MATRIX], [TILE MATRIX MEM], [Input Signal], [DisplayPort] in [TERMINAL SETTINGS] and setting for video out.

NOTE: • [AUTO ID] will be automatically executed.

• When you use this function, it is recommended that monitors be chained by DisplayPort cable.
• This function is released if [MOTION] in [SCREEN SAVER] is activated.

Example of installation via LAN:

• [SETTING COPY] – copies some of the OSD menu categories to other monitors in the video wall, when chained together.
• [TILE MATRIX] – allows one image to be expanded and displayed over multiple screens (up to 100) through a distribution amplifier. Manually input the number of horizontal and vertical monitor in the video wall, position of the monitor in the wall, and turn on or off Tile Compensation. When tilting HDCP content, please refer to the "Video Out Connection" on page 70.

- [TILE COMP] - scales the displayed image to compensate for the width of the screen bezel in order to create a seamless image.

• [TILE CUT] - select a part of image from the displaying image. The selected part is displayed as a full image on the screen.

Example of TILE CUT 2x1 (Landscape)

For the left monitor:

1. Set H MONITORS [2] and V MONITORS [2].

One image will be divided by 4 then put number from 1 to 4.

OSD Monitor screen

1. Select 1 to 4 at [POSITION].

e.g. Selecting 1

1. With [H ADJUSTMENT] and [V ADJUSTMENT], you can move the selected square to the exact spot where you display.

1. Select [YES] at [TILE MATRIX ENABLE].

For the right monitor:

Repeat the same steps.

e.g. Selecting 2 at [POSITION]

After individually setting, the 2x1 image (Landscape) will be shown as below.

- [FRAME COMP] - Allows auto setting of FRAME COMP by inputting the number of monitors arranged horizontally and vertically on. It is recommended and should deliver the best results if fast moving content is displayed. Applying the [FRAME COMP] is needed for a specific installation.

[AUTO] - Sets total delay value, each delay value is set automatically by setting of [H MONITORS], [V MONITORS] and [POSITION] in TILE MATRIX.

[MANUAL] - Sets delay value to every monitors.

• [V SCAN REVERSE] - Reverse scanning image direction to create a smooth motion image.

ORIGINAL FRAME COMP V SCAN REVERSE

• [TILE MATRIX MEMORY] – allows settings for the tile matrix to be saved to all inputs in the monitor.
• [ID CONTROL] – sets the monitor ID and group IP for the current monitor. When the monitors LAN ports are chained together, the ID and IP can be automatically assigned to all displays.

• Video daisy chaining.

Please use the same monitor model for all monitors in the connected daisy-chain.

MONITORS POSITION is different from ID. Please refer to the figure1 and figure 2.

NOTE: The output of Media Player signal (MP) is capable only between the same models.

For connecting multiple monitors with HDMI cable

• Using the same display model.
- Set the same ([MODE1] or [MODE2]) at [HDMI] in [TERMINAL SETTINGS] in all connected multiple monitors.

For DisplayPort Out

- Select either the DisplayPort1 or OPTION input for the monitor to output a signal from DisplayPort Out.

- This monitor's signal output function supports contents protected by HDCP. HDCP content can be distributed across up to 3 connected monitors.

- When using an Option Board, please set [SLOT2 CH SETTING] to [CH1] then set [SLOT2 CH SELECT] to DisplayPort. See page 118.

NOTE: Please use slot2 type option boards which outputs DisplayPort signal.

For HDMI Out

• Select either the HDMI1, DVI, MP, or OPTION input for the monitor to output a signal from HDMI OUT.
• This monitor's signal output function supports contents protected by HDCP.

HDCP content can be distributed across multiple connected monitors as described below:

• HDCP 1: Up to 8 monitors / HDCP 2.2: Up to 5 monitors.
- The time until image is displayed depends on the number of connected monitors.
• Without HDCP: Up to 9 monitors.

NOTE: • Depending on the device you use, number of monitor connection will change.

- When displaying an image in a multi-monitor setting, do not disconnect cables from the monitors. When you disconnect cables, please turn the main power off first.

- When using an option, please set [SLOT2 CH SETTING] to [CH1] then set [SLOT2 CH SELECT] to TMDS. See page 118.

NOTE: Please use slot2 type option boards which outputs HDMI signal.

For HDCP Content

HDCP is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via the digital inputs, this does not necessarily mean that the monitor is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected by HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Due to these security restrictions in video content, HDCP video content can only be tiled across a limited number of monitors. HDCP video content is generally commercially produced Blu-rays and DVDs, television broadcast, and streaming media services.

Setting the Remote Control ID Function

The optional remote control can be used to control up to 100 individual monitors using what is called the REMOTE CONTROL ID mode. The REMOTE CONTROL ID mode works in conjunction with the Monitor ID, allowing control of up to 100 individual monitors. For example, if there are many monitors being used in the same area, a remote control in normal mode would send signals to every monitor at the same time (see Figure 1). Using the remote in REMOTE CONTROL ID mode will only operate one specific monitor within the group (see Figure 2).

To Set Remote Control ID (Entering REMOTE CONTROL ID mode)

While holding down the REMOTE ID SET button on the remote control, use the KEYPAD to input the Monitor ID (1-100) of the monitor to be controlled via remote. The remote control can then be used to operate the monitor having that specific Monitor ID number.

When 0 is selected or when the remote control is in normal mode, all monitors will be operated.

To Reset Remote Control Mode

Normal Mode - To return to Normal Mode press the REMOTE ID CLEAR button and hold down for 5 seconds.

NOTE: In order for this feature to work properly, the monitor must be assigned a Monitor ID number. The Monitor ID number can be assigned under the MULTI DISPLAY menu in the OSD. See page 111.
- Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button. The MONITOR ID number is shown on the screen when your remote control is in ID mode.

Use the Remote to Control all Monitors in Range

1. On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while using the keypad to input the REMOTE CONTROL ID number "0".

2. All monitors within range of the remote control will now respond to keypad press.

NOTE: When the REMOTE ID is set to "0", pressing REMOTE ID SET will make all monitors, within range of the remote signal, display their Monitor ID on screen. This way you can easily see what the monitor ID is if you want to control a single monitor, as described below.

Use the remote control to operate a monitor that has a specific MONITOR ID number assigned to it.

1. Set the [MONITOR ID] number for the monitor (see page 111). The [MONITOR ID] number can range from 1-100.

This [MONITOR ID] number allows the remote control to operate this specific monitor without affecting other monitors.

1. On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while using the keypad to input the REMOTE CONTROL ID number (1-100). The REMOTE ID NUMBER should match the MONITOR ID number of the monitor to be controlled.
2. Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button.

The MONITOR ID number is shown in red on the monitor.

If the REMOTE CONTROL ID is "0", then all monitors in range will show their respective MONITOR ID number in red.

If the MONITOR ID number is shown in white on the monitor, the MONITOR ID number and the REMOTE CONTROL ID are not the same.

Overview

Connecting the monitor to a network allows for remote control of the monitor from a computer connected to the same network.

The IP address and subnet mask of the monitor can be set on the Network Setting screen of the web browser by using an HTTP server. When connecting to a DHCP server, the IP address and subnet mask will be obtained automatically when the monitor is turned on. Please be sure to use "Microsoft Internet Explorer 10" or a higher version for the web browser.

This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. Refer to the help files for the web browser to change the settings to use JavaScript and Cookies.

To access the HTTP server, launch a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as the monitor and enter the following URL in the web address field:

Network Setting

http:///index.html

NOTE: • The default IP address is assigned automatically to the monitor.

- NaViSet Administrator software for managing monitors over the network is recommended. It can be download from the SHARP Display website (See page 95).

- If the [MONITOR NETWORK SETTINGS] screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to refresh your web browser (or clear the cache).

- If the monitor appears to be slow in response to commands or clicks on buttons in the browser, or the general speed of operation is unacceptable, this may be due to network traffic or the settings on your network. Should this happen, consult your network administrator.

- The monitor may not respond if the buttons shown on the browser are repeatedly pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can't get a response, turn the monitor off and then back on.

Preparation Before Use

Connect the monitor to the network, using a commercially available LAN cable, before attempting to use browser operations.

Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have been set will not be shown, depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server is not used unless the network environment requires it.

Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser

A host name can be used in the following cases (corresponding to the IP address of the monitor):

The host name must be registered in the domain name system (DNS) by the network administrator. You can then access the network settings of the monitor via this registered host name by using a compatible browser.

If the host name has been configured in the "HOSTS" file of the computer being used, you can then access the network settings of the monitor via this host name by using a compatible browser.

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting

This Chapter Includes:

→ "Screen Image and Video Signal Issues" on page 88
→ "Hardware Issues" on page 89
→ "Image Persistence" on page 91

No picture

• The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.
• The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
• Check the main Power Switch, it should be in the ON position.
• Make sure both the computer and monitor are powered on.
• Make sure that a supported resolution has been selected on the display card or system being used. If in doubt, please refer to the user's manual of the display controller or system to change the resolution.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
• The monitor automatically goes into standby state at the preset time period after the video signal is lost. Press the power on button on the remote control or press the ⏻ button on the monitor.
• Check the [DVI MODE] settings when a DVD player or computer equipment is connected to the DVI input.
• If you unplug the signal cable when starting the computer, images may not be displayed. Turn off the monitor and the computer and then connect the signal cable and turn on the computer and the monitor.
• Check the [OPTION POWER] setting when you use Option Board accessories.
• Check for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content. HDCP is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via the digital inputs, this does not necessarily mean that the monitor is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected by HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Snowy Picture, Black Screen in DVI input

- Check the DVI MODE setting when a DVD player or computer equipment is connected to the DVI input.

Image persistence

- Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, the image persistence of monitors is not permanent, but single still image being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, put the monitor into standby state via remote control or turn the monitor’s main power off for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be in standby state or main power off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, we recommend showing moving images, or changing still images at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle, or putting the monitor into standby or turning it off when not in use.

The image is blinking

• If you use a signal repeater or distributor or a long cable, this may cause image roughness or blink for a moment. In this case please connect the cable to the monitor directly without using a repeater or a distributor, or replace the cable with a higher quality cable. Using a twisted pair extender may cause image roughness depending on the environment where the monitor is in or the cable you are using. For further information please ask your supplier.
• Some HDMI cables may not show a correct image. If input resolution is 1920 x 2160, 3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160, please use an HDMI cable which is approved to support 4K resolution.

The image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent

• The signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Please adjust settings in the [ADJUST] of the [PICTURE MODE] by checking displayed image on the screen.
• When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
• If text looks garbled, change the video mode to non-interlaced and use a 60 Hz refresh rate.
• The image may be distorted when turning the power on or changing the settings.

The image of component signal is greenish

- Check to see if the VGA (YPbPr) input connector is selected.

The image is not properly reproduced

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the coarse adjustment.
• Make sure that a supported resolution has been selected on the display card or system being used.
• If in doubt, please refer to the user's manual of the display card or system to change the resolution.

Selected resolution is not displayed properly

• Check the Information OSD to verify the appropriate resolution has been selected.
• If the resolution you set is over or under a range, "OUT of RANGE" window will appear then warn you. Please set supported resolution at the connected computer.

Video contrast is either too high or too low

- Check that the correct option for the VIDEO LEVEL is selected for the input signal. This only applies to video signals on the DisplayPort, HDMI, and OPTION inputs.

- Blacks are crushed and whites are clipped - change the VIDEO LEVEL to RAW. Crushing blacks and clipping whites can occur when the monitor's VIDEO LEVEL is set to EXPAND while the source video signal's color levels are RGB Full (RGB 0-255), causing lost details in the shadows and highlights and the image appears overly high in contrast.

- Blacks are dark grey and whites are dull - change the VIDEO LEVEL to EXPAND. Dulling blacks and whites can occur when the VIDEO LEVEL is set to RAW while the source video signal's color levels are RGB Limited (RGB 16-235), which effectively appears to prevent the monitor from obtaining its full brightness range and the image appears to be lacking in contrast.

Either light vertical or horizontal stripes may appear, depending on the specific image pattern. This is not a product fault or degradation.

Hardware Issues

button does not respond

• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.

• The remote control system may not function when direct sunlight or strong illumination strikes the remote control sensor of the monitor, or when there is an object in the path.

The SCHEDULE/OFF TIMER function is not working properly

• The [SCHEDULE] function will be disabled when the [OFF TIMER] is set.
• If the [OFF TIMER] function is enabled and the power to the monitor is turned off when the power supply is interrupted unexpectedly, then the [OFF TIMER] will be reset.

Snowy Picture, Poor Sound in TV

- Check antenna/cable connection. Use new cable if necessary.

The USB Hub does not operate

• Check to make sure that the USB cable is properly connected. Refer to your USB device user's manual.
• Check that the USB upstream port on the monitor is connected to the USB downstream port on the computer. Please make sure the computer is [ON] or [USB POWER] is [ON].
• Disconnect one upstream USB cable when using 2 upstream connections.

Interference in TV

- Check components for shielding, move away from monitor if necessary.

USB or RS-232C or LAN control is not available

• Check RS-232C (reverse type) or the LAN cable. A category 5 or higher LAN cable is required for connection.
• Check USB cable connected to USB2 port. Check the [EXTERNAL CONTROL] is set to [ENABLE] then [PC SOURCE] is set to [EXTERNAL PC].

LED Indicator Patterns

LED on the monitor is not lit (no blue or red color can be seen) (see page 30)

• Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the monitor and the wall, and make sure the monitor's main power switch is ON.
• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or move the mouse).
• Check that the [POWER INDICATOR] is set to [ON] in the [CONTROL] settings of the OSD menu.

The monitor goes into standby state automatically

• Please check [OFF TIMER] setting.
• Set the [CEC] function to [OFF]. The monitor may go into standby state when a connected CEC supported device goes into standby state.
• Please check [POWER] in the [SCHEDULE SETTINGS].

Media player function does not recognize the USB storage device

• Check that a USB storage device is connected to the Media Player USB port.
• Check the file format of the USB storage device if it is not recognized by the monitor.

MicroSD memory card does not work

• Check that the microSD memory card is properly connected.
• Check the microSD memory card format.

LED colors, except for blue, are blinking or glowing

• A certain failure might have occurred, please contact your supplier.
• If the monitor is powered off by the internal temperature being higher than the normal operating temperature, the LED will blink green or amber or red for six times. Please leave the monitor for cool down for few minutes then turn it on again.
• The monitor could be in standby state. Press the power on button on the remote control or press the ⏻ button on the monitor.

Image Persistence

Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD panel monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor's main power or set it to standby state for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor's main power should be turned off or set it to standby state for one hour to erase the image.

As with all personal display devices, we recommend showing moving images, or changing still images at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle, or putting the monitor into standby or turning it off when not in use.

Please set [SCREEN SAVER], [DATE &TIME] and [SCHEDULE SETTINGS] functions to further reduce the risk of Image persistence.

For long life use as a Public Display

Image Sticking of LCD Panel

When an LCD panel is operated continuously for long hours, a trace of electric charge remains near the electrode inside the LCD and a residual or “ghost” image of the previous image may be observed. (Image Persistence)

Image Persistence is not permanent, but when a fixed image is displayed for long period, ionic impurities inside the LCD are accumulated along the displayed image and may be permanent. (Image Sticking)

Recommendations

To prevent Image Sticking, and for longer life usage of the monitor, the following is recommended.

• Fixed image should not be reproduced for long period. Change still images after short intervals.
• When not in use, please turn off the monitor via remote control, or use the Power Management function of the PC, or use the built-in Schedule Functions.
• Lower environmental temperatures prolong the lifespan of the monitor.

When a protective surface (glass, acrylic) is installed over the monitor's screen surface, the monitor's screen surface is located in an enclosure, utilize the temperature sensors inside the monitor.

To reduce the internal temperature, use the Cooling Fans, Screen Saver, the Power Management function of the PC and Low Brightness.

- Please use "Screen Saver Mode" of monitor.

Additional Documentation

"External Control" PDF document

This document defines the communications protocol for externally controlling and querying the monitor via either RS-232C or LAN. The protocol uses encoded binary and requires calculation of checksums, and most functionality in the monitor can be controlled using these commands. A simpler protocol is also available for less demanding applications (see below).

This document is available for download from our website in your region.

A Python programming language based SDK (Software Development Kit) is also available that encapsulates this communications protocol into a Python library for rapid development.

https://github.com/SharpNECDisplaySolutions/necpdsdk

"ASCII Control Command - Reference Manual" PDF document

This document defines the communications protocol for externally controlling the basic functions of the monitor via LAN using a simple English-like syntax. It is suitable for easy integration into existing control systems. Functionality such as controlling and querying the power state, video inputs, volume, and status is available. The protocol uses ASCII encoding and doesn't require calculation of checksums.

ID CONTROL		Sets the monitor's ID number, assigns the monitor to groups, and provides the option for automatic monitor ID and IP address numbering in multi-display installations when daisy chained with LAN cables.
	MONITOR ID	Sets the monitor's ID number between 1-100. This number is used to uniquely identify the monitor in multi-display installations. This number is also used by the remote control when in ID mode, to control a single monitor in a multi-display installation.NOTE: It is strongly recommended so that the monitor can be individually identified and controlled.
	GROUP ID This function assigns monitors to groups, which gives you the ability to send commands to all displays, however, only monitors with the matching Group ID perform the command. Group IDs allow specific groups of monitors to be targeted using a single command, providing high-speed parallel operation on daisy-chained displays. It is useful for scenarios such as rapid switching of video inputs or tile matrix configurations within a video wall. The [GROUP ID] function is used only via LAN or RS-232C commands from your software or control system. Monitors can be assigned to any of the 10 available Group IDs, labeled A-J. Refer to the "External Control" PDF document (see page 95) for the monitor's command codes.
	AUTO ID/IP SETTING	Automatically sets all of the monitor IDs and/or IP addresses in a LAN chain. Highlight [START] and press SET on the remote control to show the [AUTO ID/IP SETTING] menu.NOTE: All changes to the [AUTO ID/IP SETTING] menu should be made on the master monitor, which is the first monitor in the LAN chain. Automatic numbering consecutively counts up by 1 starting from the master monitor.Do not turn off the monitor's main power switch or put it into standby state while [AUTO ID/IP SETTING] or [AUTO ID/IP RESET] is in progress.Do not interrupt the monitors' LAN chain by connecting network devices between the monitors.
	SETTING ITEM Selects	which function to automatically number in the LAN chain. Each number is assigned consecutively starting from the base numbers set in this menu.
	MONITOR ID	Monitor ID numbers are automatically assigned for all monitors in the LAN chain, starting from the number set for [BASE NUMBER].This option does not change the current IP addresses.
	IP ADDRESS	IP addresses are automatically assigned for all monitors in the LAN chain. The first three octets are set using the format in [BASE ADDRESS], the fourth octet starts at the BASE NUMBER and counts up by 1 for each subsequent monitor in the LAN chain.This option does not change the current Monitor IDs.
	ID and IP	Both the monitor ID and the IP address are assigned for all monitors in the LAN chain, starting from the [BASE NUMBER] and [BASE ADDRESS].
	BASE NUMBER	Sets the starting number for the monitor ID and/or IP address.This is the number that is assigned to the master monitor. The automatic numbering assigns consecutive numbers, starting from this number and counting up by 1, to each monitor in the LAN chain.When running AUTO ID:- Monitor numbers can be between 1-100. However, the master monitor must have a starting number low enough to include all monitors in the LAN chain. The automatic numbering counts up by 1 until it reaches 100. For example, if there are 20 monitors in the LAN chain, the BASE NUMBER must be 80 or lower.When running AUTO IP:- This is the fourth octet in the IP address. Octets one to three are set at BASE ADDRESS. The BASE NUMBER is automatically assigned to the master monitor and counts up by 1 until the end of the LAN chain.- If the master monitor is connected to a network, make sure there are no IP address conflicts before running AUTO IP.When running IP and ID:- The BASE NUMBER is the starting number for both the monitor ID and the fourth octet of the IP address. Due to this, if the master monitor is going to be connected to a network, and a block of IP addresses are not available at a number that is low enough for starting automatic ID, then it is recommended that AUTO ID and AUTO IP be run separately instead of using the grouped auto ID and IP function.
	BASE ADDRESS	Sets the first octet to the third octet for the IP addresses assigned during automatic numbering. If the master monitor is connected to a network, these fields must match the network IP numbers for the monitors to be accessed over a LAN, such as 192.168.0 or 10.0.0.The fourth octet is set at [BASE NUMBER] and counts up by 1 starting from the master monitor.NOTE: [BASE ADDRESS] is only available when [IP ADDRESS] or [ID and IP] is selected for the [SETTING ITEM].
	ID/IP SETTING START	Highlight YES then press SET on the remote control to activate the automatic number function, which first detects the number of monitors connected in the LAN chain before proceeding.
