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.

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.

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.

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.

´SET MASTER ABC  
This function allows the monitors 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-

´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-1unit in each Daisy Chain  
installation in order to have the Degauss function executed on each unit at power on.

´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.
