Expandable input capability

You can easily expand the input capability by installing an optional board (not supplied) in the option slot on the rear panel. Only one board for expanding the input capability can be installed at a time. If you install two boards, they do not function.

External sync input

Pressing the EXT SYNC button on the control panel once enables the monitor to operate on a sync signal supplied from an external sync generator.

Automatic termination (only for connectorswith a mark)

The input connector is terminated at 75 ohms internally when nothing has been connected to the output connector. If a cable is connected to the output connector, the internal terminal is automatically released and the signals input to the input connector are output to the output connector (loop-through).

FunctionsAuto chroma phase functionThe chroma and phase are automatically adjusted.Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, the blue component of an input signal is displayed. This facilitates adjustments of the color saturation and phase, and observation of VCR noise.

Underscan mode

In the underscan mode, the lines usually scanned outside the normal display area are visible so that you can monitor the entire screen area.

Note

When the monitor is in the underscan mode, dark RGB scanning lines appear on the top edge of the screen. These are caused by an internal test signal.

16:9 mode

You can precisely monitor a signal whose aspect ratio is 16:9, in addition to a 4:3 signal.

Auto/manual degaussing

The monitor is automatically degaussed when the power is turned on. You can manually degauss the monitor by pressing the DEGAUSS button.

Using the menu, you can preset a time to degauss automatically after the power has been turned on for a while.

On-screen menus

You can set color temperature, perform a chroma set up, and make other settings using the on-screen menus.
