External Control

7 About the external control

This monitor has three external control terminals.

???MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.

(1)MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it (??? below).

(2)TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the corresponding pin terminal (??? below).

???RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (??? ???Using the serial communication??? on page 15)

???RS-485 terminals (RJ-45): Controls the monitor with the RS-485 system. (??? ???Using the serial communication???

on page 15)

Set the following items of ???REMOTE SETTING??? in SET-UP MENU according to the external control terminal and control system (??? page 13).

*1 On the monitor connected to the personal computer etc, select the terminal the equipment is actually connected to. On other monitors, select ???RS485.???

???Control priority is as follows.

MAKE > TRIGGER, serial communication, and buttons and menu on the monitor

???You can use the external control even when ???CONTROL LOCK??? is set to ???ON??? (??? page 13).

???When the monitor is off (on standby), external control is not available.

You can control the monitor by a personal computer or dedicated controller*2. For the details, see below.

*2 The controller is not commercially available. Consult your dealer if you need it.

PC, etc.

7 Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system

The MAKE/TRIGGER terminal is configured as follows. You can assign a function to each pin terminal in ???REMOTE SETTING??? (??? ???PIN1, PIN2, PIN3, PIN4, PIN5??? on page 13).

??? You cannot change the functions assigned to the pin terminals from 6th to 8th.

To assign the functions to the pin terminals

For the operation procedure, see page 7.

1Select ???REMOTE SETTING??? on the SET-UP MENU.

2Set ???PARALLEL TYPE??? to ???SET.???

3Select a pin name (???PIN1??? ??? ???PIN5???) for which you want to assign a function, then select the function you want to assign.

??? For selectable functions, see the tables below.

Functions controlled by the MAKE/TRIGGER system

*5 While controlling with the MAKE system, the screen is switched between normal screen (opening) and blue screen (short-circuiting). While controlling with the TRIGGER system, the screen changes as same as when pressing SCREENS CHECK button (??? page 6).

*6 Must be controlled with the TRIGGER system. This function cannot be controlled with the MAKE system. *7 Selects which functions in ???AREA MARKER??? are activated, non-???R-??? items or ???R-??? items (??? page 10).

*8 While controlling with the MAKE system, the level meter is switched between displayed (short-circuiting) and hidden (opening). When ???LEVEL METER ch??? is set to ???OFF,??? the level meter is not displayed (???NO EFFECT??? appears). While controlling with the TRIGGER system, the pattern of the audio channel display is switched.

*9 Displays the information shown when INPUT SELECT button of the current input is pressed (??? ???About the Status Display??? on page 7). While controlling with the MAKE system, the information is displayed only at the moment of short- circuiting.

???You cannot assign the same function to different pin terminals.

???The TRIGGER system switches each function by short-circuiting the pin terminal for about 1 second and opening it.

*3 The 6th pin terminal controls turning on or off the tally lamp (available to control even when the 7th pin terminal is invalid).

*4 The 7th pin terminal makes the external control valid/invalid. Make sure to control the terminal by the MAKE system.

Operation

1Set ???PARALLEL TYPE??? of ???REMOTE SETTING??? to ???MAKE??? or ???TRIGGER??? in the SET-UP MENU.

2Short-circuit the 7th pin terminal (ENABLE) to the 8th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be controlled by the external control.

3When selecting ???MAKE??? system: Operate each function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.

When selecting ???TRIGGER??? system: Operate each function by pulse control, that is short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the 8th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second and opening it.

???When changing the input with MAKE system, only one pin terminal must be short-circuited. (Other pin terminals must be opened.)

???When selecting the ???TRIGGER??? system, you can operate only one function at a time. Operate the functions one by one.

7 Using the serial communication

You can control the monitor from a personal computer etc. via the RS-485 or RS-232C terminal.

??? Consult your dealer for the details of the external control specification.

All commands consist of the following segments.

Header

???!???: Operation commands from the personal computer, etc. For details, see <Basic command list> on the right.

???????: Reference commands from the personal computer, etc.

???@???: Status returns from the monitor

Troubleshooting

Solutions to common problems related to the monitor are described here. If none of the solutions presented here solves the problem, unplug the monitor and consult an authorized dealer or service center.

The following are not malfunctions.

???When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture has changed. Though the remaining picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it remains for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was displayed for. This is due to the characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.

???The red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of LCD displays, and not a problem. The LCD display is built with very high precision technology; however, be aware that a few pixels may be missing or constantly lit.

???The following symptoms are problems only when pictures or sounds are not played back normally.

???A slight electric shock occurs when you touch the monitor.

???The top and/or rear panel of the monitor becomes hot.

???The monitor emits a cracking noise.

???The monitor emits a mechanical noise.

7 Self-check program

This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes troubleshooting easier. Whenever a problem occurs, one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps will flash. If this happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.

When the screen goes blank, and one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps (DVI/COMPO. /VIDEO) on the

front control panel start flashing...

1 Check which lamps are flashing.

2 Turn off the POWER switch or DC switch on the rear panel.

3 When AC power supply is used, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. When DC 12 V power supply is used, detach the battery or disconnect the plug from the DC IN 12V terminal.

4 Contact your dealer with the information about which lamps are flashing.

???If you turn on the monitor soon after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the INPUT SELECT lamps may flash and no image may be displayed.

When this happens, turn off power and wait at least 10 seconds before turning on the monitor again. If the INPUT SELECT lamps do not flash, you can use the monitor as normal.
