FEATURES

CHAPTER 1. FEATURES

1. FEATURES OF THE MULTI PROJECTION UNIT

(hereinafter referred to as the “MPJ”)

¶ Thin, space-saving design (75 cm deep), and installable flush against the wall (when stacked in two levels in

a 4-screen configuration, etc.)

¶ Split structure for easy carrying and assembly

The structure is split by screen, making it easy to carry and assemble the system.

¶ Excellent features with a reasonable price

¶ Can be stacked in up to three levels

¶ Under 2 meters high when stacked in two levels, allowing installation in stores with low ceilings

¶ Improved adjustment procedures

•

Uniform, simplified ABL level adjustment using ABL control voltage indication.

Lists of main deviation and white balance adjustment values can be displayed when performing adjustments

with the remote control unit, making it simple to check adjustment values and compare with other screens.

¶ Variety of screens available

1. Screw width approx. 4mm (RM-V2550S)

2. Screw width 1mm (RM-V2550S2)

¶ Usable in bright places

High screen brightness (420 ft-L), allowing use in lobbies exposed to external light and bright offices.

¶ Full of functions for providing high picture quality with enlarged images and a strong sense of picture unifor-

mity

•

Though the peripheral brightness is sufficient for multi-screen images, a “multi” function is also included for

activating a peripheral light compensation circuit and achieving enlarged pictures with even more uniform

brightness. There is also a function for achieving the optimum contour compensation level with enlarged

images, thereby providing natural, high quality enlarged pictures.

•

An auto white balance function and ABL (Auto Brightness Limiter) linking function suppress differences in

colors and brightness on the different screens.

¶ Convergence memory function

Up to three sets of adjustment data in addition to the standard factory default settings can be stored in the

memory.

FEATURES

¶ “Color mode selection function” for convenient camera reshooting

The MPJ is equipped with a “color mode selection function” allowing the selection of two white balance data

settings. When used for example in a broadcast station’s studio for reshooting, the colors will be unnatural if

a camera suited to the brightness in the studio is used, but if one color temperature is set to 4500°K, natural

colors can be reproduced at the touch of a button.

¶ On-screen display function

Adjustment values and various settings can be displayed on the screen.

¶ External control function

The MPJ is equipped with an RS-232C external control terminal. This makes it possible to use a computer to

perform the various adjustments, and provides possibilities for various types of visual presentations. Trans-

fer of control signals to the individual multi projection units is possible in daisy chain format by connecting

the combination terminals using interconnection control cables (DIN 6-pin connectors, included). No compli-

cated connections are necessary. The multi projection units can be assigned ID numbers and still be adjusted

individually after the system is expanded.

¶ Dual NTSC/PAL compatibility

The individual multi projection units display high quality pictures with either NTSC or PAL inputs.

¶ Wired remote control unit (RU-V107, sold separately) available for adjustments

The wired remote control unit can be used for adjusting the convergence, white balance and other settings

while watching the picture from the front when setting up the multi picture system.

2. FEATURES OF THE MULTI VIDEO PROCESSOR

(hereinafter referred to as the “MVP”)

¶ Multi video processor for 4-screen enlarged images

¶ Compact, space-saving design

¶ Adjustment remote control unit/computer relay function considering system installation

¶ Expandable through the addition of an option board (one)

3. FEATURES OF THE PROJECTION STAND

(hereinafter referred to as the “Stand”)

¶ EIAJ rack mount function

¶ Casters for easy moving

¶ Built-in adjuster for level adjustment

CHAPTER 3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

1. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS

(1) Weight-tolerant

The ground must be flat and horizontal. It should be able to bear the weight of the system.

For wooden floors, if the part receiving the weight of the system lies at the center between the reinforcement

beams below the floor, the floor may become deformed or may curve inwards. Moreover, in the case of a carpet

etc., the part bearing the load may sink with time, meaning that the horizontal balance of the system may shift

out of place after installation. In such cases, lay a more than 12 mm thick board below the system to distribute

the weight of the system on the floor.

For concrete floors, it may not be possible to install the system horizontally due to the roughness of the floor. In

such cases, do the same as above.

(2) Ceiling height

¶ Reserve a headroom of at least about 10 cm (4 inches) between the top of the system and the ceiling. If an air

conditioner outlet or illumination lamp is located above the system, use special care to prevent troubles due

to dust, temperature, humidity and dew condensation. In case the system is covered by interior furnishings,

be sure to take measures to ventilate Floor leveler tends to pool above the top of the system. Otherwise

troubles may result.

(3) Front space

¶ Finger and hand prints form easily on the face of the screen. Therefore make sure viewers cannot touch it

directly.

Leave workspace in front for replacing the screen.

(4) Rear space

¶ The system can be installed up against the wall when the projection units are stacked in two stages. When

they are stacked in three stages, reserve a rear clearance of at least 5 cm (2 inches). However, remember that

a space of at least 50 cm (20 inches) is required in the maintenance operation and install the system by taking

later maintenance in consideration.

(5) Stacking stages

¶ The projection units can be stacked in up to three stages.

¶ They cannot be stacked in four stages or more.

Otherwise troubles may result in relation with the cabinet strength or stagnation of heat.

¶ Up to 4 columns of RM-V2550S2 screens can be placed in a row.

(Maximum number of screens is thus 12 [3 x 4])

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(6) Installation work to prevent toppling

¶ Make sure that you carry out the following work after installing the system in order to prevent toppling etc.

1 Lower all of the floor levelers until the system comes into contact with the floor.

2 Anchor the system to the floor.

3 Fix the system to the wall etc. using wires etc., following the points in the diagram below.

NOTE) 1. Always use wires etc. that are a little stronger than necessary.

2. Always use the points designated in the diagram below for attaching the wires etc. Do not use

other holes, since they are not strong enough and their surroundings may be damaged.

¶ The method for fixing the system to the floor or wall depends on the material that the floor or wall is made of.

You should get a specialist contractor or your dealer to do this work.

¶ Make sure that you read the section ‘Fixation using anchors ’ on P74.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(7) Heat value calculation

¶ In the calculation, assume that the maximum power consumption per multi-projection unit is 300 W by re-

serving a certain headroom. As most of the consumed power becomes heat, the power consumption can be

regarded to be proportional with the calorific value.

1 Conversion into calorific value (kcal/h)

[W] x 0.86 = [kcal/h]

Calorific value per multi-projection unit

300 x 0.86 = 258 (kcal/h)

2 Conversion into British thermal unit

[W] x 3.41 = [B.t.u./h]

Calorific value per multi-projection unit

300 x 3.41 = 1023 (B.t.u./h)

(8) Temperature and humidity conditions

¶ Closely observe the following conditions on the temperature and humidity of the location of installation.

(1)Operating temperature

(2)Operating humidity

(3)Storing temperature

: 5 to 35 degC (No condensation)

: 20 % to 80 %

: –10 to 45 degC

¶ The lenticular sheet will stretch and consequently the center of the screen will rise if the humidity is relatively

high. In this case, the focus may slightly change and therefore readjustments in the installing conditions of

the location must be performed when your system arrives.

¶ Avoid wetting the system at all times. Due to the shape of the product, it is easily affected by external condi-

tions. Especially to be avoided is wetting the MPJ and screen. Thorough water-proof measures must be taken

when installing them in locations where there is a high level of moisture in the air such as near air-condition-

ing vents and water sprays.

* Take note that in new buildings, moisture is frequently produced from the concrete and the humidity level

subsequently rises.

¶ Electrical equipment such as this system should not be installed in high humidity environments. Follow the

precautions below when high humidity is expected.

• Never install the MPJ and screen in locations that do not meet their respective specifications.

• Ground the units.

• Ensure that there is no condensation.

• Install the units where no one can touch them.

• Ensure that water droplets do not fall onto the units.

(9) Condensation

One problem that occurs in the winter season is “Condensation”. When the temperature of the room in which

this system is installed rises suddenly, condensation occurs on the screen and lens, thereby the system cannot

display its best performance. In such cases, turn off the power once, leave the system off for one hour, and turn

on the power again. Increasing the room temperature gradually is another method.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(11) Lighting

¶ Projection screens do not reflect external light like the CRT, but the screens and their base materials may still

cause reflection if strong light of a spotlight, etc. is directly incident to them. In such a case, prevent the

illumination lighting from hitting the screen surfaces directly.

¶ Glass plates for safety protection purpose may sometimes have to be attached on the screen surfaces de-

pending on their installation location. In this case, examine the installation positions carefully so that the

front glass plates do not reflect the external light.

¶ As the actual intended images of the system may not be obtained in very bright locations, consider the

position of lighting and direction of sunlight when installing the system. Especially when the system is ex-

posed to direct light (sunlight, etc.) from behind, the light may be reflected on the screen. Avoid such instal-

lations.

¶ Take note that in bright places, images may appear dark even when the luminance has been increased. In

addition, increasing the luminance and contrast more than required may affect the life of the system (espe-

cially the CRT).

(12) Effects of earth magnetism

¶ Due to effects of earth magnetism, the position of the image displayed will differ according to the installed

direction. Difference is about several mm in the up/down/left/right directions, but the degree of change varies

according to the strength of the earth magnetism of each area. Misconvergence may also occur due to slight

rotations.

Thus, when performing adjustments before moving the set to the place where it is to be installed, do so in the

same direction as the direction of installation, then readjust in the final position of installation.

¶ Normally perform adjustments in the final position of installation.

¶ The system is not only affected by earth magnetism but by the following magnetisms generated by various

items in its surrounding as well.

• Steel frame of building

• Power cables on the floor

• Large speaker systems

• Special equipment (Those generating magnetic force)

• Metallic installation table, frames, etc.

(13) Backyard ventilation

A temperature difference between the front and back of the screen may occur for any of a number of reasons,

such as an increase in the internal temperature of the system or a change in the effectiveness of air conditioning.

When such a temperature difference occurs, air will try to flow in order to equalize the temperatures. If there is

no path for the air to follow between the area in front of the screen and the backyard area then the screen may

warp.

You should make sure that there are paths in the backyard and in front of and behind the screen that will allow

ventilation. You should take particular care if the backyard is a closed room with no windows and powerful air

conditioning is installed.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(14) Power supply

1 Power supply voltage

The guaranteed voltage of this system is 10% of the rated voltage.

But if the impedance of the power wires is high, the voltage waveform will become distorted and show the same

symptoms as when voltage drops abnormally. As the following must be noted even if the voltage is within the

allowable range, check the power wiring again.

¶ The voltage drop from the switchboard to this system is great.

¶ The voltage changes greatly when the power of the system is turned on and off (Roughly 5% of the rated

voltage)

2 Power supply capacity

When calculating the capacity, assume that the maximum power consumption per multi-projection unit is 400

VA by reserving a certain headroom.

The current increases as the voltage drops. Design the power supply by reserving a headroom by referring to

the connection description in 3 below. When a single power line (same power distribution panel) is used to

power another system, be careful not to exceeds the power distribution capacity by taking the power consump-

tion of the other system in consideration.

3 Connection

¶ Each multi-projection unit has an AC OUTLET connector, which can accept the connection of up to 2 multi-

projection units in addition to the first multi-projection unit. Do not connect other equipment than multi-

projection units to the AC OUTLET.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

4 3-pin plug

The power cord of the system has a 3-pin plug. This design aims at preventing electric shock due to leaked

current. Be always sure to connect the power plug into a 3-pole power outlet.

5 Ground-fault circuit interrupter

The system incorporates a power line filter for noise prevention and leaked current of 0.5 mA flows per multi-

projection unit. If your power supply system uses a ground-fault circuit interrupter, check its sensitive current

and make sure that it is above the total current leakage of the system.

Also count in the current leakage of other equipment than the video output equipment assuming that the leaked

current of each piece of equipment is 0.5 mA.

Within Japan, the current is generally 15A~20A per circuit. It is thus imperative that you route the power supply

through a breaker.

To prevent voltage dropping, current waveform degradation and noise induction in the middle of the circuit,

always supply power directly from the power distribution panel.

Do not use an existing wall outlet etc. to supply power as this is extremely dangerous.

It is extremely dangerous to supply power from existing wall outlets, etc.

Install the system near the outlet for connecting the units of the system as much as possible.

Set the current capacity slightly greater-about more than 25% of the total consumption power.

(15) Cables used

Use a coaxial cable for the external input cable. Normally use a 3C-2V for less than 15m long. Use 5C-2V for

greater lengths. Adjust the length of the cables. The distance between the transmission system and MPJ should

be as short as possible. When the distance is great, consider the thickness of the cable and electrical compensa-

tion carefully.

The limit is as shown when using the cables to connect the transmission final output terminal and the system.

3C-2V: 15m

5C-2V: 30m

To use a longer cable, the VIDEO signal must be corrected.

NOTE) To install the system up against the wall, use L-shaped BNC conversion adapters.

(16) Semi-outdoor installation

This system is basically designed for use indoors. When the system is installed in semi-outdoor locations, the

following problems may occur. Take the following measures before using the system.

• Waterproof and rustproof measures

• Temperature difference and humidity difference

• Light on the screen (So that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.)

• Wind containing salt

(17) Caution for use of user-prepared parts

We basically recommend that the user uses the projection stands manufactured and recommended by us.

However, if you want to prepare them by yourself, use care in the following point.

¶ Install the stands so that the system is maintained level. Be sure to calculate the floor strength and take

sufficient measures to prevent the system from tumbling down. When not using a Pioneer-recommended

stand, Pioneer will accept no responsibility for accidents or damage due to improper installation or mounting

or to natural disasters.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(3) Carrying the units after opening packaging

1 Screen

To carry the screen unit after opening the packaging, hold them by the parts shown in the figure, and lift and

move them.

(RM-V2550S,RM-V2550S2)

(Lifted by one or two persons)

Hold the parts indicated by

[Fig. 3-2-3]

¶ Never drag the system along the floor when moving the units.

¶ The lenticular sheet damages very easily as it is very thin. Therefore move it gently and do not apply exces-

sive shock or vibration to it.

¶ As the panels supporting the screen are very thin and deform easily, be careful that they do not hit or get

hooked onto surrounding objects when moving them.

Caution after assembly of screen frames (2 or 3 stages)

¶ The screen frame ass’y must always be carried in the vertically standing condition by more than one person.

(It is recommended that a 3-stage screen frame ass’y is carried by 3 persons.)

Never hold it horizontally, for this may cause a screen to drop out of the frame.

[Fig. 3-2-4]

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

¶ Do not stand the screen frame ass’y in the 2-

stage or 3-stage configuration against a wall. The

ass’y should be mounted on the cabinet as soon

as it has been assembled.

[Fig. 3-2-5]

2 Cabinet

¶ The cabinet must always be carried by being

lifted up more than one person.

Never attempt to move the cabinet by sliding it

on the floor.

Center of

gravity

¶ When carrying the cabinet, each person should

hold it by the grip and the step position on the

front. Also make sure that the center of gravity is

located on the rear side during carrying. [Fig. 3-2-

Step position

Grip

[Fig. 3-2-6]

WARNING

¶ Never attempt to lift or suspend the cabinet by

hooking the holes on it with a crane, etc. This is

extremely dangerous because these holes are

not strong enough to withstand the crane car-

riage.

Should an accident occurs as a result of an at-

tempt to carry the cabinet with a crane, we can-

not assume liabilities for resulting damages.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION

Always place them upright. If they are stacked on their sides or backs, vibration and shock may cause damage or

fire hazards.

7 Caution for transportation of cabinet

¶ The cabinet is sensible against falling, impact and vibration. Be careful not to place a heavy object on it or

drop it during transportation.

7 Caution for transportation of screen units

* The screen units have been designed for permanent installation and hardly repackaged and re-transported.

The following description is given for reference for the rare case in which they have to be re-transported.

¶ Pack it properly according to the packaging specifications [Fig.3-2-2]. Also check the following conditions.

[1] The protection panel has been properly attached by the transportation screws (eight).(RM-V2550S only)

In the case of the RM-V2550S2, make sure that fittings H and V are firmly attached using screws (12 places

in total).

* Use the protection screws provided with the unit.

[2] The protection tapes are pasted to the four corners of the protection panels. (RM-V2550S only)

* Paste the protection tape on the protection panel.

* Use a relatively weak tape about 20 mm to 30 mm in width.

Name : Acetate cloth adhesive tape (25 mm width)

¶ When transporting or storing the units in the packaged state, always face them up.

¶ The number of units that can be stacked in storage is 20.

¶ As the screen is at the top, be careful not to step, and place heavy objects on this top side, nor hit it with sharp

objects.

Notes (RM-V2550S2)

¶ Be sure to set the screen unit right-side up. Of the sides on which the screw heads are exposed (the sides

with the shipping screws), the longer side is the top.

¶ Check that the shipping screws, protective panel and black tape have been removed before mounting the

screen unit on the system. (When installing the system, do not remove the protective panel located on the

outermost edge.)

¶ When stacking screen units, use gloves and perform operations with at least two people to prevent acci-

dents.

¶ To prevent damage to the lenticular sheet, be as careful as possible when mounting the screen unit so as

not to subject it to excessive hocks and vibrations.

¶ When the screen units are stacked, the head of the panel fixing screws and 12 mm holes will engage.

When stacking the upper screen unit, make sure that it does not brush the lower screen unit as it has panel

screws projecting out.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

3 1mm-screw screen (RM-V2550S2) assembly

(Note: ‘Left’ and ‘right’ in the text refer to the case that the screen is viewed from the front)

Step 1: Preparing the cabinets

Attach the screen frame fasteners as for the RM-V2550S (see P48 [9]).

Step 2: Opening the packaging

¶ Remove the screens from their packaging (see P37).

¶ Decide in advance where in the multi-screen assembly you will put each screen.

¶ Take out the accessories affixed to the bottom of the packaging.

Notes

* Handling the screens

1) When carrying a screen, make sure that you hold it in the designated positions (Fig. 3-4-26). In particular,

do not hold the screen near the middle of the long side since if you do so there is a risk of it being

damaged.

2) Handle the joints with care.

When carrying out the work, avoid knocking the joints or touching them with your fingers, since if you do

so there is a risk of damage.

3) It is difficult to get the screens to stand up unsupported, so if you wish to leave one somewhere

temporarily, you should either stand it up against a wall (taking care that the joints do not come into

contact with the wall) or else lay it down with the screen surface facing upwards.

Carry the screen in both hands, holding it from the

points marked with circles √. Do not hold it around

the middle of the edge of the frame.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

Step 3: Preparing the screens

¶ Take off those protective metal plates (fittings H and V) which will not form the outer edge of the

system (Fig. 3-4-27).

Example: in the case of screen 4 of a 4-screen system, take off the protective metal plates on the

top and left sides.

¶ Attach the hook fittings (left and right) (see P49 [1] for how to do this).

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

Notes

* It may be hard to push in the pins, in which case you may tap gently with a hammer.

However, hitting a pin too hard could knock the frame out of shape. Please take due care.

When a pin has been pushed in properly, it will stick out 6mm (Fig. 3-4-30).

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

Notes

* Connectors are also required in the corresponding places on the lower edges of the screens in the bottom

row, but if these connectors are attached first then it will not be possible to get the screens to stand up

unsupported, making the subsequent work difficult. These connectors should thus be attached after

mounting the screens on the cabinets.

* If the system setup is such that it will not be possible to attach the lower connectors after mounting the

screens on the cabinets then you should attach these connectors first.

Step 4: Preparing the screens 2 to Mounting on the cabinets

The procedure for this step will be explained separately for the cases of the 4-screen, 6-screen, 9-screen

and 12-screen assemblies.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

(3) Installation without using stands (Direct floor installation)

For installation of this system, we basically recommend the use of our recommended stands or other stands

equipped with adjusters and casters.

Nevertheless, if you should install the system directly on the floor, use the following caution in installation.

[1] If the floor is flat, the cabinets cannot be joined well and may be deformed after joining.

To prevent this, be sure to install the cabinets on a flat, level floor. (See Chapter 3, 1(1).)

[2] The installation method is the same as for when stands are used.

[3] Be sure to take measures against tumbling down of the system. (See Chapter 3, 1(6).)

[4] Take the maintenance space that is required on the rear in consideration during installation.

CHAPTER 4. ADJUSTMENTS

1. ADJUSTMENT PREPARATIONS

(1) Wiring

1 For the power supply

¶ For the power supply, up to three units can be connected in a series using the multi projection units’ AC

outlets. Use different external power outlets for each set of three units.

¶ The multi projection unit’s AC plug is a 3-pin plug with a ground pin. When connecting the power supply, be

sure to connect the ground pin to the ground in order to prevent electric shocks.

2 Connection of signal cables

¶ Use coaxial cables. In general use 3C-2V cables for lengths of up to 15 meters, 5C-2V cables for lengths of up

to 30 meters. Keep the distance between the signal transmitter and multi projection unit to a minimum.

3 Connection of ABL linking cables

¶ Control signals (RS-232C and remote control signals) can be sent to all units by connecting the ABL linking

cables in cascade form.

ADJUSTMENTS

(2) Processing of wires

¶ When installing for long periods of time (such as for permanent installations rather than short-term events),

use wires of the appropriate length considering the overall routing of the wiring.

¶ Make sure that the connection terminals are not subject to direct loads or forces. For short-term installation

the wires can be bound together by string, etc., but for long-term installations they should be properly bound.

(3) Aging

¶ After turning on the power, input the 100% white signal or moving images, and perform aging until multi

projection unit stabilizes (about 1 hour). If adjustments are performed without aging, as it takes time until

Multi projection unit will warm up and stabilize, convergence and white balance will become incorrect.

(4) Adjustment signals

¶ Use the composite video signal for adjustments created in the multi video processor. When converters not

creating the signals for adjustment are used, supply the signals for adjustment from equivalent signal

sources (signal generator, LD player, etc.)

Generally required signals

2.BEFORE ADJUSTMENTS

(1) Convergence adjustment memory

The MPJ incorporates four convergence adjustment memories. These can broadly be divided into the adjust-

able memory (Memories 1 to 3) and dedicated memory for reading adjustment values set at shipment (FAC-

TORY).

Memory Area

FACTORY

Input Signal

NTSC

PAL

: Enable to select.

: Disable to select. Only possible to read out to the memory area enable to select.

The following adjustment data are input to each memory area at shipment.

MEMO-1 : For NTSC signals

MEMO-2 : For PAL signals

MEMO-3 : For NTSC signals (Same data as MEMO-1)--- for RM-V2550BU

: For PAL signals (Same data as MEMO-2) ---- for RM-V2550E

FACTORY: For NTSC signals (Same data as MEMO-1)--- for RM-V2550BU

: For PAL signals (Same data as MEMO-2) ---- for RM-V2550E

For some input signals, NTSC and PAL are selected automatically.

When a NTSC signal is input : MEMO-1

When a PAL signal is input : MEMO-2

Copying the convergence memory

The convergence memory can be copied by the remote control unit or PC. (See figure below.)

MEMO-1

MEMO-2

MEMO-3

FACTORY

When data is copied, the memory into which the data is copied will lose its original data. (For example, when

data is copied from MEMO-1 to MEMO-2, MEMO-2 will becomes the memory for the NTSC signal, and lose the

PAL signal.)

When the data has been copied into the selected convergence memory area, this can be known by the display

[COPY END] on the screen. In that case, the data of the convergence has been changed into new data. If the data

is not same,the convergence will change as well.

Example : When MEMO-1 is selected

MEMO-1 = Copy to other memories : Completed when [COPY END] is displayed on the screen.

MEMO-1 + Copy to other memories : Completed when [COPY END] is displayed on the screen and at the

same time convergence deviates.

Condition : MEMO-1 data ≠ MEMO-2 data

ADJUSTMENTS

(2) TV system

The TV system determines the control of the whole unit (convergence, OSD display select, video system select,

deflection) according to the signal input.

Set it according to the signal input.

When TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO

¶ The mode is automatically set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal (NTSC/PAL).

When the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC

¶ The mode is set to NTSC regardless of the input signal.

When the TV SYSTEM is set to PAL

¶ The mode is set to PAL regardless of the input signal.

[Precaution to use]

Normally, the TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO. If the signals cannot be differentiated between NTSC and PAL (or they

are differentiated incorrectly : VCR signal repeatedly dubbed or part of CATV converter, etc.), the TV SYSTEM is

set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal.

When the input signal is NTSC or PAL, and the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC or PAL, it can enable the input to be

switched smoothly (little screen noises), and prevent signals from being differentiated incorrectly due to signal

disturbances and cuts.

In some cases, even if the same TV format is used, more than two types of convergence data will be required.

(For example, when there are signal phase differences for every input source, etc.) In such cases, use two types

of memories. Switch them using the personal computer.

ADJUSTMENTS

(3) White balance adjustment memory

ADJUSTMENTS has altogether six white balance adjustment memories.

Color mode 1 (Normal)

VIDEO, Y/C input memory

RGB input memory

Factory shipment memory

Color mode 2 (Re-expose)

VIDEO, Y/C input memory

RGB input memory

Factory shipment memory

Four memories can be actually adjusted except the factory shipment memory. The factory shipment memory

contains the normal white balance adjustment data and re-expose white balance adjustment data.

When set to color mode 1 by computer command, etc., the white balance data can be switched synchronously

when the input is switched. The same is true for color mode 2. In addition, if it is necessary to change between

color modes 1 and 2 for the same input function or for the VIDEO and Y/C input modes, connect a computer and

switch between the modes as necessary by computer command (CM1 and CM2).

(4) Combined use of remote control and personal computer

Although it is possible to connect both the remote control (RU-V107) and Personal Computer, adjustments

cannot be performed using both at the same time.

Remote control, Personal Computer commands and rear panel switches operated the latest are given priority.

When the adjustment mode is set by the Personal Computer while adjusting with the remote control, the adjust-

ment mode will be set by the Personal Computer, disabling adjustments to be performed using the remote

control. If the adjustment mode is set by the remote control using adjustments by the Personal Computer,

adjustments by the Personal Computer will be disabled. Furthermore, if the rear panel switches are operated

when the adjustment mode is set by the remote control or Personal Computer, the adjustment mode is exited

and the rear panel switches operations are started.

(5) Memory of adjustment data and settings

When adjustments are ended in the adjustment mode such as convergence, white balance, etc., always exit the

adjustment mode (AJN for Personal Computer, ADJ OUT key for remote control). If the power is turned off (AC

OFF) without exiting the adjustment mode, a part of the adjustment data will not be preserved in the memory.

The input function, MULTI ON/OFF (peripheral light amount switching), COLOR MODE 1/2 (white balance

switching), COMBINATION ON/OFF (ABL link switching), VIDEO MUTE ON/OFF (VIDEO MUTE of input switch-

ing), baud rate setting, TV SYSTEM setting, and convergence memory state setting will be preserved in the

memory only when the power is turned off using the remote control, command of a Personal Computer (POF) or

the rear panel tact switch, and finish the adjustment mode (when you set each data in the adjustment mode.)

(The last data will not be memorized when the main power switch is turned ON/OFF or when the AC power is

turned ON/OFF using the external switch.)

When starting or stopping the system by AC ON/OFF in an installation condition for demonstration, use this

method to preserve the conditions in the memory first and confirm the initial condition by AC ON/OFF.

The following phenomena may occur when discharge occurs.

Example :During performance in which inputs are switched using the personal computer (VIDEO jRGB)

When discharge occurs, RGB is switched to VIDEO.

This phenomenon occurs because at the same time discharge occurs, the INPUT set is initialized in the previous

memorized state (in this example, it is the VIDEO input). Therefore pay careful attention when using the

memory.

ADJUSTMENTS

(6) Assigning ID numbers

ID numbers are numbers which identify the different multi projection units in a system consisting of multiple

multi projection units (4-screen systems, 9-screen systems, etc.). When the ABL linking cables are connected

and ID numbers are assigned, commands can be sent to specific multi projection units and the remote control

unit can be used to operate a specific multi projection unit.

In addition, the ID numbers assigned to the different multi projection units can be used to change the time until

each unit is turned on. This can be used to avoid harmful effects such as the circuit breaker being blown due to

a large in-rush current

If the power of the entire cube system is turned ON/OFF with a main breaker, because the cubes connected to

the same power supply will be simultaneously turned on when the power is turned on, a large in-rush current

my be generated.

Such problems can be prevented by using the ID numbers assigned to the different sets to change the times

when the units’ power actually turns on as described below, thereby lowering the probability of the power of the

different units turning on simultaneously and thus preventing such problems.

* Wait Time setting

This function uses the ID numbers assigned to the individual sets,

dividing the ID numbers into four groups (I to IV) and setting the time from which the microprocessor recognizes

the power on command until the power assembly’s AC relay is actually turned on for the different sets within

the different groups in the order of the ID numbers, with the formula: ID no. within group x 40 msec ID

ADJUSTMENTS

<NOTES>

¶ As can be seen from the above, unless within one system ID numbers from the same group are assigned, the

wait times may overlap, defeating the purpose of this function. Be sure to assign ID numbers from within the

same group.

However, if the ID numbers are set carefully within a certain range in such a way that the wait times do not

overlap, this function can be used without problems even when ID numbers from different groups are as-

signed.

(For example, if ID numbers between 10 and 4F are assigned to units within the system, the wait times will

not overlap.)

¶ In addition to the wait time function, some time is required for the routine when the power is turned on

normally (approx. 1 msec), so the time until the power actually turns on is:

Wait time + Approx. 1 sec

* Direct computer commands for switching the function for turning the power on at different times using the

ID numbers on and off

This function can be enabled and disabled with the following direct commands (in the AJY mode) from the

external computer.

DPY (Delayed Power On Yes): Delayed power on function enabled

DPN (Delayed Power On No): Delayed power on function disabled

By default (initial settings), this function is enabled.

The on-screen display when this command is set is as shown below.

(OFF)

Fig. 2 On-screen display for delayed power on function status (on or off)

The set’s current status (whether or not the function is on or off) can be checked by sending the “GST” direct

command from an external computer. (For details, refer to page 130.)

(5) White balance adjustment

1Before adjusting white balance

Adjusting the white balance means to adjust the color tone. This adjustment is necessary for the screen to

become white when the white signal is input, and black when the black signal is input. In the actual adjustment,

the bias and gain of the CRTs for the three colors (R, G, and B) are adjusted so that the screen becomes the same

color tone.

Before performing the white balance adjustment, complete the convergence adjustment first. If not performed

properly especially where the screens join each other, the colors of the screens may not join. When performing

the adjustment, take into account the position and height of the sets, height of the eyes of those viewing the

screens, and distance to the screens. There are two types of screen white balance data-video, Y/C input and RGB

input. The data is switched when the screens are switched. For RGB input, COLOR, TINT*, and SHARPNESS

cannot be adjusted. When the ABL is OFF, ABL LEVEL cannot be adjusted.

(Note) * In the PAL signal ,TINT cannot be adjusted even in the video or Y/C input .

2 ABL switch setting

In ABL setting, when the luminance of units completely match the unit which ABL voltage is controlled the most

and luminance is lowest, the luminance of the whole multi-screen becomes low.

The ABL switch is able to switch the amount of ABL control voltage when ABL is on.

This switch has three modes-ABL1, ABL2, and ABL3.

5 Rough adjustments

(1) Black level adjustment

Signal:White 10%

Adjust R LOW, G LOW, and B LOW to the point where the CRT starts lighting up.

(2) HI LIGHT adjustment

Signal:White 50%

Adjust R HI, G HI, and B HI so that the CRT becomes white. First, adjust so that the brightness of R, G, and B

becomes the same, and while maintaining that brightness, balance R, G, and B, and adjust so that the CRT

becomes white.

(3) LOW LIGHT adjustment

Signal:White 20%

Adjust R LOW, G LOW, and B LOW so that the CRT becomes gray.

(4) Convergence adjustment

Signal:White 50%, 20%

Repeat (2) to (3) and converge the light. If the HI LIGHT of

R, G, and B is moved, their LOW LIGHT will change greatly. Therefore, pay special attention to the value of the

LOW LIGHT.

6 LINEAR WHITE adjustment

When white peak signals such as WINDOW are input, due to the characteristics of the Blue CRT, there is a

tendency for the peak to become yellow compared to other colors. The linear white adjustment is performed to

correct this tendency.

Blue becomes weak when data is set to UP and strong when set to DOWN. If Linear White is added excessively,

the ABL voltage becomes unbalanced and the medium luminance of blue may be erased, etc.

Also make sure that the blue is not blur when MULTI ON is set because the top left and bottom left of the screen are affected

first.

ADJUSTMENTS

7ABL GAIN adjustment (White 100%)

The ABL GAIN adjustment adjusts the white 100% luminance of a unit to other units after low luminance and

medium luminance have been adjusted.

Normally, when white 100% is input, ABL is imposed and the current is controlled so that the current flowing in

the CRT does not exceed a certain level. Even if the current flowing in the CRT of each unit is the same, the

difference in the characteristics of each CRT will cause their luminance to become inconsistent. The ABL GAIN

adjustment converges this inconsistency. It adjusts the ABL current flowing virtually.

In white 100% inputs, as the ABL works efficiently, the luminance drops, when the ABL GAIN of a unit with high

luminance is decreased, use this adjustment to adjust its luminance to the other units.

Turn off the ABL in the adjustment.

Normally set the ABL GAIN to maximum.

8 ABL level adjustment (white 100%)

The ABL level adjustment is used to suppress the differences in the ABL control voltage of the different MPJs

when ABL linking is on.

[1] Check that all the linking cables for the MPJ system to be adjusted are connected.

[2] Input 100% white pictures to all screens.

[3] Set all the MPJs to “COMBI (ABL linking) ON”.

[4] Set all the ABL level adjustment settings to 128.

[5] Check all the ABL voltages. (The ABL voltage is displayed when ABL LEVEL is selected.)

[6] Select the MPJ with the highest voltage and try adjusting the ABL level to the voltage of the MPJ with

the lowest voltage.

[7] If [6] is possible, select the voltage of the MPJ with the lowest voltage as the system’s ABL voltage, and

adjust the other MPJs to that voltage.

If [6] is not possible, select the voltage when the ABL level of the MPJ with the highest voltage is set to

“MIN” as the system’s ABL voltage, and adjust the ABL level of the other MPJs to that voltage.

[8] Switch between “COMBI ON” and “COMBI OFF” while changing the white balance between 0 and 100%

(for both the system and the individual MPJs) and check to make sure that the ABL effect is not unnatu-

ral.

ADJUSTMENTS

9 Adjustment using moving images

The adjustment using images adjusts the overall joining of the screens by loading discs used by users (for

actual performance) and discs always used for adjustments. View the overall screen and adjust the screen

with the greatest difference to the other screens. The specific method is;at first, focus on the brightness, make

the brightness the same, and correct the differences in R, G, and B. Pay the attention that changing the HI

LIGHT value affects the balance of the LOW LIGHT considerably. Strictly speaking, as W/B deviation cannot

be checked using moving images and W/B cannot be corrected just by performing fine adjustments, check

using rough adjustments.

If the DEMONSTRATION-II LD can be used, correct the following points.

[1] Dark images (Almost black image:FRAME No. 32300 to 33200)

Check that the brightness of the screens appears the same.

Check that black is not blur or emphasized.

[2] Bright images (Almost white image:FRAME NO. 7400 to 8100)

Focus on where the brightness is the same, especially the white peak, and check in the same way as for dark

images in [1].

[3] Skin color images (FRAME NO. 26900)

Check if the skin color of a face image is the same as in the other screens.

[4] Colored images (FRAME NO.19100)

Use when performing adjustments during VIDEO input or Y/C input. Adjust so that the colors of vegetables,

fruits, etc. are of the same brightness and same depth.

If consistency cannot be adjusted with animated images, re-input the rough adjustment data and re-adjust.

* View the moving images. If a screen is darker than the others due to excessive ABL, increase the contrast and

decrease the R, G, B High Light so that ABL is suppressed.

[5] White peak images (FRAME NO.08272)

Readjust the Linear White adjustment, if the whiteness on the white peak screen differed on each screen.

0 Confirm the moving images

View the moving images. If W/B is incorrect, set to rough adjustment. If the luminance of the multi-screen is

dark or inconsistent, set the ABL switch.

- Precautions

1 Avoid adjusting with images with high tube reflection (FRAME NO. 13590)

If only one spot is bright in a very dark image, the screen will look bright due to the spot.

2Precautions on screen hue

If the hue of the screens is green or yellow, images will not be displayed clearly. The white parts of bright

images especially will appear yellow. These images can be made clear by adjusting so that they appear

slightly bluish.

However, if made bluish excessively, brightness may appear insufficient due to the CRT characteristics.

ADJUSTMENTS

3 Color adjustment (White balance)

(a) Effects of brightness

¶ Take note of dark images which have some high luminance parts.

¶ The reflected light overlap with surrounding dark parts at the face of the CRT and surface of projection lens,

and luminance and hue become different from the adjoining screen.

(b) Differences caused by visual points

¶ Although the joined parts of multiple screens are improved by peripheral light amount correction, the image

may not be natural at some points. (Adjustment of vertical direction using the installation table)

¶ Due to the layout of the red, green, and blue CRTs, when the screens are viewed diagonally, they may appear

reddish or bluish (Color shift).

¶ For multiple screens, as the angles of the left and right screens are different to a viewer, they may appear to

have different colors.

Before adjustments, check the user's visual point, and adjust at that point.

(c)

¶ Because the white balance is adjusted using high light (drive) and low light (cutoff), the red, green, and blue

may not be balanced at the mid-range of luminance. In this case, adjust R, G, B, LOW LIGHT or R, G, B, HIGH

LIGHT at the mid-range, and make the balance of these colors consistent from low luminance to high lumi-

nance.

ADJUSTMENTS

4 PRECAUTIONS

[1] The adjusted data is backed up by the AJN command.

After adjustments, always perform AJN. AJN will also exit the screen adjustment display.

[2] Contents of the INPUT FUNCTION, MULTI ON/OFF, COMBINATION ON/OFF, COLOR MODE 1/2, TV SYS-

TEM, CONV.MEMORY are memorized only when the power is turned OFF using the remote control, POF

command, or the TACT switch on the rear panel, and finish the adjustment mode (if you were set each data

in the adjustment mode).

(They will not be memorized by AC ON/OFF.)

When starting up/stopping the system by AC ON/OFF under the long term installation conditions, memorize

the contents before executing AC ON/OFF.

[3] There is a limit to the RS-232C communication buffer in the MPJ. If too many commands are sent at once, it

will not operate properly.

[4] The RS-232C command excecution time.

When sending RS-232C command, send the next command after minimum 500m sec.

Especially, the following commands need more than 500msec.

a) The assigned command of the POINT CONVERGENCE ADJUST POINT 1.5sec

b) IN1~3 (Input switching)

c) TVA,NTS,PAL (TV system setting)

1sec

If the next commands are sent before these time, they may not be received. Care when making programs

like the direction.

[5] Exiting the personal computer adjustment mode

The personal computer adjustment mode is automatically exited when the following steps are performed.

a) When the rear panel switch is set.

b) When the power is turned OFF.

c) When the input signal is switched, the cable is disconnected, or the mode is switched: NTSC jPAL.

(However, in some cases, switching between PAL and no-signal may not exit the mode.)

To continue adjustments, set the re-adjustment mode again.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

CHAPTER 5. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

1. MAINTENANCE

(1) Re-adjustments after 3 months

Even if the RM-V2550BU is adjusted adequately at the time of installation, adjustment values may start to devi-

ate with time. These values will not change when adjustments are performed the second time. The appropriate

time for performing re-adjustments is 3 months after installation. It is recommended that these adjustments be

taken into consideration when the unit is installed.

(2) Periodic maintenance

For the unit to display its best performance stably for a long period of time, it is recommended that periodic

maintenance be performed. There are mainly two types of periodic maintenance.

¶ Cleaning

Although this depends considerably on the environment used in, the CRT lens surface, screens, etc. are

cleaned mainly.

¶ Re-adjustments

Re-adjustments must be performed if required.

Pioneer recommends that contracts on periodic maintenance be signed.

(3) Replacement of parts

Replacement and addition of parts are as follows and are to be performed by Pioneer service personnel.

Request for these services when required.

1 CRT

The luminance decreases as the unit is used as with other visual equipment. How much it decreases depends on

the images displayed and the using conditions. As an approximate, the decrease is about half for 10000 hours.

Although this 10000 hours (four years with eight hours of use every day) is a rough approximate for replacing

the CRT, decide according to the state of the unit.

2 Screen

If a screen needs to be replaced due to scratches etc., please seek advice from the sales department in charge.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

2. CAUTIONS DURING PRESENTATIONS

¶ When the power is turned off from the remote control unit or using the tact switch on the rear panel, the input

function, MULTI ON/OFF (peripheral brightness selection), VIDEO MUTE ON/OFF, COMBI ON/OFF (ABL link-

ing selection), COLOR MODE 1/2 (white balance selection), TV system selection and convergence memory

status are only stored in the last memory if the adjustment mode has been canceled (when the conditions

have been set in the adjustment mode). (The settings are not stored in the last memory when the AC power

is turned on and off.)

When the entire system is started up or stopped by turning the AC power on and off for permanent installa-

tions, store the settings in the last memory using the above operation before turning the AC power on and

off.

¶ The main methods for muting the picture during presentations are described in [1] to [3] below.

[1] Setting by external computer command

Example: To mute the picture of the unit with ID number 11

11 A OF

(picture muted)

= 11 IN √

(input switching/picture mute canceled)

√: 1 = To set the input function to VIDEO

2 = To set the input function to Y/C

3 = To set the input function to RGB

[2] Setting by remote control unit or computer

VIDEO MUTE ON: Picture is muted for about 0.4 to 0.5 seconds only each time the input function (VIDEO, Y/

C and RGB) is switched.

VIDEO MUTE OFF: Picture is not muted even when the input function is switched.

[3] Setting when switching between NTSC and PAL signal by computer

The picture may be disturbed momentarily due to the time required to switch the TV system. If the picture is

heavily disturbed, mute it using the procedure described below.

Example: Muting the picture when switching from NTSC to PAL

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

3. SERVICING SYSTEM

The following describes the servicing system for this system.

[1] Repairs will be provided free of charge for a period of one year for natural problems.

[2] For systems sold or installed directly by Pioneer, the Pioneer service outlet will provide primary repairs.

Requests for service will be accepted by telephone call between 9:30 and 18:00 weekdays.

(For service at other times and on weekends and holidays, contact your salesperson.)

[3] Pioneer has a system of registration for servicing of this system.

The system must be registered with the Pioneer Service Division, regardless of whether it was purchased at

an agency or directly from Pioneer. Servicing may not be offered for systems that are not registered. (For

details, contact the person responsible at Pioneer.)

[4] Pioneer will offer no guarantees or servicing for products purchased domestically which are used in foreign

countries.

4. CAUTIONS ON ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE

¶ Clean the net of the MPJ’s fan air intake and exhaust holes periodically to prevent clogging.

¶ Working in high places is extremely dangerous. If tools or other objects fall they could damage the equip-

ment or even cause injury. Be extremely carefully when working in high places.

¶ Repairing the wooden cabinet

This model uses a wooden cabinet. If the cabinet requires repairs due to visible scratches or chipping, Pio-

neer recommends using a commercially available wood repair product (filler, touchup pen, etc.).

CHAPTER 6. PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

1. PRECAUTIONS ON FUNCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF

SYSTEM

¶ The picture may turn to disorder temporarily due to power discharge inside the CRT tube, but it will recover

automatically after a few seconds. In the new CRT, the very slight amount of impurities remaining inside (in

vacuum) may occasionally evaporate when hit with electron beam. However, this will not occur after the CRT

has been used for 100 to 200 hours.

¶ When the power remains off for some time, it may indicate that a fault has occurred inside. (malfunction of

parts). Turn off the main power switch of the MPJ, and after several seconds, turn it on again.

If the power goes off again, it indicates a fault. If it works normally, it indicates abnormal operations due to

external factor and will not affect operations thereafter.

¶ If the screen color and brightness is abnormal or the switches do not function, turn off the main power switch

once and turn it on again several seconds later.

¶ When the one image (still image and caption) is displayed for a long period of time, the image will stick onto

the screen and cannot be removed. As this is inevitable due to the projection system, it must be resolved

through software contents, displaying method, system structure, etc.

¶ When switching between the VIDEO and Y/C input using the EXT-CONTROL terminal for different TV formats,

the image will be disturbed for several seconds when they are switched automatically even if TV SYSTEM is

set to AUTO.

Example)

Image is disturbed.

Image is not disturbed.

VIDEO input (NTSC) = Y/C input (PAL)

VIDEO input (NTSC) = YY/C input (NTSC)

¶ When the following signals are input, the image may be distorted.

• VCR signal which repeats copying.

• VCR signal with copy-guard.

• Scrambled CATV signal.

• Signal other than NTSC/PAL standard signal

• Signals whose sync signal and video signal phases are considerably different.

(In some cases the centers of H and V cannot adjusted. If adjustments can be performed using the expan-

sion equipment, etc., use it,)

• Signal with extremely narrow feedback period

¶ If the power is repeatedly turned on and off by disconnecting the power cord, the count of the hour meter may

be incorrect. The hour meter serves as a reference for how long the unit has been used, and the operation is not

affected by the count error.

2. NOT MALFUNCTION

¶ In some cases, the screen from appear bluish when seen from the left and slightly reddish when seen from

the right. This phenomenon called color shift is inevitable due to the structure of the projection system in

which the R G, B tubes are lined up and light is projected from the rear.

¶ When bright images are displayed in the dark, the light reflected on the lens will shine in the darkness

slightly. This phenomenon called tube-inside reflection is inevitable due to the structure of the projection

whose CRT light has been expanded using the lens. [Fig. 6-1.]

PRECAUTIONS

4. CAUTION AND NOTES ON THE MPF INSTALLATION

Ref. Page

Item

The system has been designed exclusively for permanent installation. The wood

cabinets cannot stand the heavy-duty rental use.

(P.25)

(P.33)

Stacking of screens

¶ The screens can be stacked in up to 3 stages.

Installation location

¶ The system should be installed on a level surface or the stands should be provided

with the adjustment mechanisms.

(P.46)

(P.26)

Installation work

¶ Do not mount on the cabinets during installation. Otherwise they may tumble

down or be deformed.

Installation caution

¶ As the system has been designed with slimmer depth than the previous models, it

tend to tumble down more easily than them. Be sure to take countermeasures

against tumbling down.

(P.25)

Servicing space

¶ The screens, mirrors and lenses can be cleaned from the front side but the electri-

cal assemblies should be accessed from the rear when replacing them.

(P.25, 34)

Installation up against the rear wall (2 stages)

¶ The above consideration on the servicing space is important.

¶ Use L-shaped BNC connectors.

¶ Headroom should be reserved at the top and left/right in consideration of the rise

in internal temperature.

¶ Work at a high position is always accompanied with danger. If you drop a tool, it

may not only damage the equipment but injure other persons in worst case. Be

very careful in conducting work at a high position.

5. NOTE IN USE OF THE OPTIONAL JOINT-LESS SCREENS

¶ The areas corresponding to the joints may flicker even during use of joint-less screens.

The ending and starting of scanning at the connecting areas at the top and bottom of screen is out of sync,

resulting in brightness differences at the connecting areas of the top and bottom of the screen. This flickers

because the human eye pursues the changes in brightness.

This symptom is observed with joint-less screens and more noticeable when the screens are viewed from a

distant place. When screens with joints are used, the scanning timing error between the two vertically adja-

cent screens is less noticeable because the eye motion following the scanning is interrupted at the joint. On

the other hand, with joint-less screens, the scanning timing error is noticeable because the eyes can follow it

more easily thanks to the absence of the joint. The reason why it is more noticeable at a distance is because

the eyes can view the overall view of the screens and follow the overall motion more easily.

Notes on the input signal

The video may not be displayed normally if any of the following signals is input.

¶ VCR signal obtained after repeated dubbing (copies).

¶ VCR or DVD signal containing copy guard signal.

¶ Other signal than the standard NTSC signal.

Notes on the input images

Note on genlocking

1. Colored characters or characters on color

background may be hard to read due to color

blur. (When displaying characters, it is recom-

mended to use those without colors or display

them on a background without colors.)

2. When the image contains areas with fine lines,

the horizontal lines may become hard to view

due to flickering.

The system does not incorporate the genlocking

function. This means that the signal output from

the system is not synchronized with the signal

input to it.

Note on screen burns

When the system has displayed a still image, re-

sidual images (screen burns) may remain on the

screens.

8. DEMO PATTERN SETTINGS AND CAUTIONS

The MVP does not have an RMD-V3216 type DEMO switch, but 2x2 enlarged screen automatic display is pos-

sible by reading the input selector switch (OPTION/V IN) when the power is turned on and executing the com-

mand corresponding to that setting.

Because of this, upon shipment from the factory command examples for displaying the MVP 2x2 enlarged

screens have been written into the demonstration switch No. 8 and No. 9 areas, which were user program areas

on the RMD-V3216.

Switch No. 8 contains the command example for displaying 2x2 enlarged screens for the OPTION input picture

(A input).

Switch No. 9 contains the command example for displaying 2x2 enlarged screens for the V IN input picture (C

input).

2x2 enlarged screens may not be displayed if the contents of demo No. 8 and demo No. 9 are replaced. If this

happens, reset the factory defaults.

The commands written into the set upon shipment from the factory and the procedure for writing the com-

mands are described below.

: Start the command interpreter and input the following commands.

: Matrix screen number setting ........ Set VOUT1 matrix coordinate to 11.

: Matrix screen number setting ........ Set VOUT2 matrix coordinate to 21.

: Matrix screen number setting ........ Set VOUT3 matrix coordinate to 12.

: Matrix screen number setting ........ Set VOUT4 matrix coordinate to 22.

: Write in the command example for 2x2 enlargement of the A input to demonstration switch No.

&NO011

&NO121

&NO212

&NO322

: Write in the command example for 2x2 enlargement of the C input to demonstration switch No. 9.

M11C12

End.

The RM-V1000NU’s internal MVP assembly (AWU1014-) uses slots A and B, but this set uses slots A and C.

Note that because of this the M command setting is different.

10. RMD-V3020 COMMAND REFERENCE

(1) Outline of the RMD-V3020

• Introduction

The RMD-V3020 is an input board (hereafter referred to as VS board) which supports variable scanning for

inputting images of computer (hereafter referred to as PC) to the MVP.

Horizontal frequency : 24 kHz to 35 kHz

Vertical frequency

Dot clock

: 55 Hz to 72 Hz

: Up to 35 MHz

Signal

: Non-interlace signal

(The HDTV, 15 kHz RGB signal will not be dis-

played because it is interlaced.)

• Basic functions

With the VS board, standard PC signal information is preset in the memory. When the PC signal is input to the

MVP, the images are automatically output in the best state through this board after the model has been

discriminated. (For details of the preset models, refer to the M commands of the VS board described later.)

Although non-preset models must also be adjusted using general data, images can be output temporarily

and these models are compatible with recent PCs, accelerator boards with various resolutions. (Refer to

Mode 99 described later.)

Automatic detection cannot be performed but a user-presetable area for 31 models is provided. This enables

the data of unknown models to be registered and used in the same way as preset model data.

• Precautions in use

In some cases, problems may occur when communication is carried out with the MVP at 2400 bps in the

adjustment of the VS board, etc.

• VS board adjustment mode

In the communication state with the MVP, the VS board adjustment mode can be set by inputting :A.

11. MODE 99

The VS board contains preset data for autolocking 9 computer main models at shipment.

However, looking at the recent PC market is taken into consideration, it is not possible to incorporate preset data

in all models due to the diversification of manufacturers, models, and graphic mode, etc.

For this reason, the variable scan board has been forcibly locked to the mode called model data 99 for personal

computers without preset data in order to output the personal computer screen to the monitor.

Consequently, it can deal with many of the 24 kHz to 35 kHz personal computers (the upper limit for the dot clock

is 35 MHz).

However, this model No. 99 has several restrictions in order to deal with numerous personal computers.

• When the HFD command to change the sampling clock exceeds 35 MHz, the image may become blur.

Use 99 without moving HFD as much as possible.

• At the point the personal computer locked to model No. 99, dusts may appear at the top and bottom as shown

in the figure.

Dusts appearing at the top and bottom.

In such cases, use the VWM, VPS and VWD commands

to mask the dirt.

• The RGB board is the upper limit at which the dot clock 35 MHz ensures performance.

The following is a simple calculation method of the dot clock.

Dot clock (Hz)=Effective dot number x Horizontal frequency (Hz) x 1.35

• Use Mode 99 to output images temporarily. When used, it is recommended that the user preset area (No. 28

to 58) be changed and used after checking the frequency, etc. using FRQ command.

• The G on Sync model is not locked in the Mode 99.

99 data as it is.

Description

With the VS board, first the input PC frequency and full line number are measured. Next, if there are preset

models which have three matching measuring data, it is determined that these models are connected and they

are set into the autolock state.

In the autolock state, 01 AUTO is displayed by the STS command.

If there exists no preset model data corresponding to the measuring data, all models are autolocked to Mode 99.

(Refer to “MODE 99”.)

Take note that there are DOS/V personal computers which have 640 effective dot number and 480 effective line

number but a different full line number (526 or 524) from the standard VGA 525. In this case, their models are

autolocked to Mode 99.

As the frequency is close to the VGA, when the VS board is forcible locked to the VGA by M01 and data is output,

the image frame, etc. will be optimum. In this way, the M command is used when using the preset data as

substitute data.

13. USING METHODS OF HFQ, VFQ, VLN

There is a need to autolock unpreset models without using the Mode 99 accoridng to the state in which the VS

board is used.

The procedure is as follows.

1. Input a PC without the preset data.

2. Autolock to 99.

3. Check the frequency and full line number using the FRQ command.

4. Forcible lock using the M command to the model with a similar frequency.

5. Input the checked data using HFQ, VFQ, and VLN.

6. Execute M00 and check that it has been auto locked.

Unpreset models can also be autolocked using the above procedure. To set back the original state, use the F

command.

14. SELECTING THE SYNC SIGNAL

When adjusting the VS board, care must be taken regarding the relation of the priority order of the sync

signal.

Order of selecting the sync signal

The priority order for selecting the sync signal of the VS board is

Separate sync > composite sync > Green on sync.

However, if the sync signal of a certain method is selected once according to the connection and power ON/

OFF order, even if sync signals with a higher priority order than that sync signal are connected later, sync

selection will not be switched.

In this case, however, the priority order will be selected again when the power of the converter is turned on

again.

Frame for Sync Signal

The horizontal frame values are saved according to the sync signal currently selected.

For this reason, the horizontal frame may deviate according to the type of sync signal even with the same

computer.

(Example)

When models with both the composite sync and green on sync are connected (Frequently with Macintosh)

1 Connect cables G, B, R, and CS in this order with the power of the input personal computer and con-

verter on.

2 After connecting the cable with the power of the input personal computer on, turn on the power of the

converter. The composite sync will be selected.

The green on sync is selected.

When frame adjustment is carried out in the 1 state, 2 state is set when the power is turned on the next

time, meaning that the frame deviates.

It is necessary to set state 2 at all times so that the same sync signal is selected during both adjustments and

use.
