Installation Table 3-1 gives a quick overview of the PlasmaWall installation process. The sections following this one provide detailed instructions. Note Installation should be performed by a qualified custom video installation specialist. For Details, refer to page... Procedure EL IM IN A R Step Y Table 3-1.
Installation 3.3 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your PlasmaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the PlasmaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.
Installation • As it lies flat with the screen face down. Place the protective sheet, which was wrapped around the plasma monitor when it was packaged, between the screen and your work surface to avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the screen surface. Ambient Light EL IM IN A R Y In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the display.
Installation Other Considerations ➤ Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation, avoid damage and prolong operating life: • Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the display away from heating and/or air conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the display circuitry, which may affect performance. • Keep the PlasmaWall away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers.
Installation Proceed as follows to connect the PlasmaWall to the DHD Controller, your video sources, external controller(s) – if present – and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Turn off all equipment before making any connections. 3.4 Connections to the PlasmaWall and DHD Controller • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
Installation Digital Video Connection: The PlasmaWall has a DVI input, labeled DIGITAL RGB. Connect the DVI output from the DHD Controller to this input, using a standard DVI cable. RGBHV Connection: Connect the RGBHV output from the DHD Controller to the ANALOG RGB IN input on the PlasmaWall. Use a standard, RGBHV breakout cable with five BNCs at the DHD end and a 15-pin, D-sub male connector at the PlasmaWall end.
Installation Connect your video sources to the DHD Controller as shown and described in the sections that follow. DVI Connections: See Figure 3-5. Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source component output into the display.
Installation Digital (DTV) RGB Connections: See Figure 3-6. R/Pr INPUTS B/Pb G/Y H V TRIGGERS HD1 1 2 3 HD2 R/Pr G/Y B/Pb H V DVI 1 EL IM IN A R DVI 2 Y S-Video 1 Horiz Pr Y Component Video Video S-Video 2 Vert PR Red/Pr Green/Y Blue/Pb Pb DTV or Progressive Component (YPbPr) Source Figure 3-6.
