Monitor Connections
Connect the input power to the 2W2 connector (CN1).

Selecting the Proper Video Mode
Configure your video controller, operating system and or application program to run in
the desired video mode (e.g., 640 x 480, 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200, 1920 x 1080, etc.).

Color Temperature and Gamma Adjustment
(Available on select configurations)
Inherently, LCD displays do not support a color gamut as large as a traditional CRT.
Unless operators use sophisticated instrumentation to measure the color output of the
LCD display, calibration of the color gamut is subjectively performed. General Digital
offers a simple calibration technique that has proven to yield desirable results.
Note: Because this document is intended for PDF creation, an accurate gamma chart could
not be included within the document. A gamma chart can be downloaded from our Web site:

.
Below (see Figure 3) is a representation of a standard gamma chart used for color
correction. The gamma chart consists of four rectangular bars–one for each of the primary
colors (red, green and blue) and one for gray. Running down the center of each bar
are five squares displayed at 50% luminance of the surrounding area. The surrounding
area contains a checker-board pattern of alternating 100% luminescent pixels and black
pixels.
Note: The monitor should be running for at least 30 minutes prior to adjusting.
In a darkened room, adjust the individual color settings for the red, green and blue
outputs until the center squares appear to blend into the surrounding area. Finally,
adjust the bright-ness and contrast until the center squares nearly disappear.
Note: Repeat steps 1–5 for each video mode you wish to use.
