HOW TO USE EXTERNAL
CONTROL
ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
This multi-format monitor has two external control terminals. One is the MAKE terminal, which controls the monitor by connecting
the terminals with many functions to the ground (GND) terminal. The other is the RS-232C terminal, which allows the monitor to
be controlled by a PC via serial communication.
Control priority is in the following order; the MAKE terminal > the RS-232C terminal > the buttons on the front panel.
HOW TO USE THE MAKE TERMINAL
Connections
Connect (short-circuit) the 15th terminal (GND) to each of the 1st through 14th terminals in the
3-lines 15-pins D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.
The Names and Functions of Terminals
No. Names Functions
1 TALLY Puts on the tally lamp.
2 INPUT A Changes the input to INPUT A
3 INPUT B Changes the input to INPUT B
4 INPUT C Changes the input to INPUT C
5 INPUT D Changes the input to INPUT D
6 INPUT E Changes the input to INPUT E
7 INPUT F Changes the input to INPUT F
8 COLOR OFF Changes the picture black-and-white. Not change
9 AREA MARKER Displays the area marker.
10 ASPECT Changes the screen ratio to 16:9
11 UNDER SCAN Makes the screen under-scan
12 MARKER Selects the type of the area marker
13 STATUS Displays the monitor's status
14 REMOTE ENABLE Makes the external control form the
MAKE terminal valid or invalid
15 GND Used as a ground terminal
*1 : OFF stands for disconnection, and ON stands for short-circuit.
*2 : Selects the area marker size from AREA MARKER (setting on the main unit) or AREA MARKER-R (setting on the remote control) setting.
*3 : The STATUS function is activated when the connection to the STATUS terminal is changed (ON to OFF, or OFF to ON). The monitor's status
is displayed for 3 seconds.
*4 : Setting REMOTE ENABLE to ON enables remote control from the MAKE terminal.
Operation
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit or disconnect the desired terminal.
Changing the Signal Input
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal.
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
completed.
NOTE : When more than two terminals are selected (short-circuited) from INPUT A through INPUT F, the signal input is not
changed.
To control INPUT A through INPUT F, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when another
switch is turned on.
