ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
The MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor includes the following advanced technologies:
MAIN FEATURES
®
-
CYBERSCREEN : digital technology that allows the optimization of the picture quality
all over the screen, corners included.
MAGNETOMETER: the magnetic field inside your monitor may dramatically change
-
whenever you tilt or swivel the monitor, or when you bring a magnetic object, e.g. an audio
speaker, close to the monitor. Changes to the magnetic field around a monitor can cause
distortion of the image displayed on the screen. The automatic magnetic field compensation
circuitry (horizontal component of earth magnetic field) of your MGD 203/
MGD 403 monitor, immediately correct these effects thus keeping the image always sharp.
-
ABC: Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) function, when enabled, adjusts automatical-
ly Brightness and Contrast according to the ambient light.
-
Black Level Stabilization: The circuit reduces the time necessary to have a stabilized
brightness level from 20 minutes to less than 4 minutes. The BLS circuit also automatically
compensates the normal brightness decay due to the aging of the CRT.
-
Digital Brightness Uniformity: thanks to the CyberScreen Technology, the screen
brightness can be digitally controlled all over the screen, making possible to have a >90%
brightness uniformity.
-
Digital Control: all the monitor parameters, and display functions are accessible either
via the Service Software package or by means of a set of direct commands, making it easy
to remotly control the unit either from the System Console or from the Application
Program.
-
Digital Geometry Control:
Full digital control of all geometry parameters to improve
the overall performances (geometry up to 1% - linearity up to 5%)
-
Brightness Calibrator:
The optional MAP 201 HW/SW tool allows you to recalibrate the unit and to even
improve the brightness uniformity of the image all other the screen.
-
Input Connection:
Your new monitor can be operated either through the 3 (5) BNC input or via the 15
pin mini D-sub inputs to give you the maximum flexibility.
AGAS
The CRT of your new MGD203/MGD403 is finished with “AGAS” treatment, one of the most
effective Anti-Glare/Anti-Static screen coating. With this treatment the intensity of reflected
light is reduced to less than 0,5%, the picture contrast and sharpness remains unimpaired,
and cleaning the screen is made easier.
ENGLISH
6
AUTOSCAN
This feature allows you to use your monitor with a wide range of video cards: the MGD
203/MGD 403 monitor will automatically synchronize at all horizontal frequencies in the
range 30 - 95 KHz and vertical frequencies in the range 50-170 Hz, and will automatical-
ly discriminate the specific operating mode.
CATHODE RAY TUBE
This new monitor incorporates a special monochrome 17”/21” CRT for brilliant and high
contrast image (approximately three times the brightness of a standard monochrome
CRT). The Flat Square screen has P45 phosphor for best performance, high resolution in-
line electron polygon DAF (Dynamic Astigmatism and Focusing) triple gun and AGAS
coating.
DDC (DISPLAY DATA CHANNEL)
Pl u g
Palnady
This feature allows your operating system and application software to retrieve the display
identity information directly from the display device.
Note: the DDC feature works only if the monitor is connected to the PC by a mini D-Sub
15 pins / mini D-Sub 15 pins video signal cable as explained in the chapter Connecting
your monitor’ .
ENVIRONMENT
All the package materials are recyclable. This monitor does not contain any:
Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB), Polyc. Diphenylether (PCDE), Polybromated
Diphenylether (PBDE), Asbestos and Cadmium.
The complete manufacturing process of the monitor does not emit the following sub-
stances: Chlorinated Fluorohydrocarbons (CFC), Acrylonitrile, Styrol, Phenol, Benzol and
Heavy Metals.
HARDWARE OSD (ON SCREEN DISPLAY)
An easy to use OSD menu allows the user to control and adjust some monitor parame-
ters: Tilt, Hor. & Vert. Phase, Hor. and Vert. Size.
7
ENGLISH
1GUN / 3 GUNS BRIGHTNESS
This function allows to select (via OSD menu) between Low Brigtness Mode (even better
picture sharpness and reduced eye strain) and High Brightness Mode (full brightness).
WARNING: This function is available only if “1-BNC” input is selected since it has no much
sence with color video cards.
MAP 201 - Calibration Package (optional)
Specifically designed for the Triple Gun monochrome monitor series, this package con-
sists of a calibration software and an high sensitivity light probe sensor.
The calibration package allows precise calibration of: brightness uniformity across the
entire area, black level and white level, moreover it allows the user to correct the beam
convergence from edge to edge for optimum display sharpness and accuracy.
ORBITING
The MGD 203/MGD 403 monitor includes a circuit specifically developed to increase the
Cathode Ray Tube phosphors life-time by slightly moving, on a circular orbit, the entire dis-
played image.
DAISY CHAIN INTERFACE
The two 9-pin DSUB (male and female) connectors are parallel-wired RS485-like Multi-
Point Serial Interface to allow the connection of up to 15 units in daisy chained configura-
tion, each one having unique address in the range from 1 to 15.
The maximum total cable lenght between monitors is 15 m.
If Daisy Chain Mode is ENABLED the RS232, KEYBOARD and ABC controls are trasmit-
ted to all the other monitors and at the same time executed inside the monitors.
(see specific chapter for details)
AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The ABC feauture automatically adapts the contrast/brightness level to the ambient light
(measured with a special sensor).
The ABC function is selectable in one of the following three modes:
Active control range : 10 - 1000 lux ambient on the photo-sensor
ABC - FULL
ABC - REDUCTION
ABC - OFF
Adjustable Reduction Effect via OSD (20% - 100%)
Derived from ABC - FULL
No reduction (100%)
In case of daisy chain connection only one unit can be allowed to be “ABC master” (fly-
ing master concept). See also pages 18 and 25 of this user manual.
SHOW CONFIGURATION
Via OSD it is possible to display the monitor unit information:
firmware release, total working hours (to keep track of the real usage of the monitor),
active video mode, horizontal and vertical frequencies.
ENGLISH
8
REFERENCE SETTING
Five different ‘pairs’ of brightness and contrast combinations can be defined, and stored
in the monitor and selected via OSD menu. This feature is particularly attractive for
OEMs using the monitor with multiple systems wich will save a lot of time in the facto-
ry and in the field as well (‘tailoring’ of the monitor adjustments on the specific system
is no more needed).
POWER MANAGEMENT
The MGD 203/MGD 403 is ENERGY STAR compatible (requires “VESA DPMS”
compliant signalling).
The Power Management feature operates automatically by gradually powering down
the monitor in three different status:
ON:
Display in full operation (GREEN/YELLOW/RED)
depending on reference setting status - see also’ LED
LIGHT MEANING TABLE’.
SUSPEND OR STAND-BY:
OFF:
Either Hsync or Vsync is missing, the power con sum-
ption is less than 15 W, (Yellow blinking LED).
Both H & V signals are inactive, the power consum-
ption is about 3 W, LED off).
This function can be easily disabled in a safe and permanent way through the Hardware
OSD (Mode/Power Saver).
Note: The manufacturer is a partner in the EPA’s Energy Star computer program.
The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA endorsement of any product or ser-
vice.
PRE-SET MODES
The monitor memory can store the geometry display parameters of each operating
mode up to 28 modes (12 of them are factory pre-set; see appendix 4), thus allowing
to auto-size the picture for the detected mode.
For any “not found” mode, the microprocessor will automatically store the geometry set-
tings as adjusted by the user in the first free location.
The user has the possibility to change the adjustments at any time.
RESOLUTION
The maximum resolutions displayable on the screen are:
MGD203 : 1280 x 1024 @ 90 Hz
MGD403 : 1600 x 1280 @ 72 Hz
UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY
This unit will automatically detect and power up at any line voltage and frequency all
over the world with no intervention of the operator.

´SET MASTER ABC
This function allows the monitor’s light sensor to operate as Master ABC Sensor for the Daisy-chained units. When enabled, the monitor sends (every
2 seconds) through the Daisy-Chain a command sequence to set “Contrast and Brightness” of all units to a suitable value, according to the mea-
sured ambient light.

Note: If any other monitor was set with ABC Master “ON”, it shall be automatically turned to ABC Master “OFF”.
When replacing one unit in an existing dasy chain installation, please take care of setting the new unit the same as the replaced one, to avoid dasy
chain conflict between 2 master units.
´POWER SAVING
This function when enabled will check the presence or absence of horizontal and vertical TTL sync signals and activate the proper Power-State
accordingly: 1) Power-On (< 190 W) if both H &V sync.s ; 2) Standby/Suspend (< 15 W) if only one sync; 3) Power-Off (< 1.5 W) if no sync sig-
nal is present.

´AUTO DEGAUSS
When enabled, Degaussing will be automatically triggered by the detection of a magnetic field variation (e.g. by changing or rotating the monitor unit
orientation). When disabled, degauss is executed only once at power-on.
In Daisy Chain configuration, the unit on which the function is set becomes the ‘Degauss-Master-Unit’.
This means that the specific unit will send on, the daisy chain line the Degauss Command, and all units will execute the function simultaneously.
In Daisy Chain configuration, at power on the unit whose Daisy Address is “1” and AUTO DEG. ON will execute the Degauss command on itself and
send the same command through the Daisy Chain to all other units connected. It is very important to assign an “address-1” unit in each Daisy Chain
installation in order to have the Degauss function executed on each unit at power on.

Note: When replacing one unit in an existing dasy chain installation, please take care of setting the address of the new unit the same of the replaced
one, to avoid dasy-chain conflict between two units having the same address.
´DAISY CHAIN MODE
Each monitor has 2 modes of control operation:
DAISY-CHAIN MODE option OFF for local operation: RS232, KEYBOARD and ABC controls are just executed LOCALLY (inside the monitor unit).
In this condition no command sequence is sent (trasmitted) to Daisy-Chain interface and no command will be received from the Chain.
DAISY-CHAIN MODE option ON the controls are trasmetted to the other monitors and all applicable received controls are executed.
The Daisy-Chain Control commands are:
Brightness, Contrast, Reference Setting, User Setting, Store User Setting, via Keyboard;
1-GUN / 3-GUNS, DEGAUSS, KEYLOCK, (ALL / STORE / CNTRL), ABC (FULL / REDUCED / OFF), REF. SETTING (1/2/3/4/5)
ABC MASTER OFF, via On Screen Display selection.
