Screen Saver
The lifetime of the plasma screen can be
greatly prolonged by a screen saver. That’s
because, if an image doesn’t change in
brightness, or a still image, such as the kind of
image displayed on a computer, is displayed
for a long time, an after-image (ghosting) may
be burned into the display panel. To correct or
lessen the severity of this problem, the monitor
is equipped with a screen saver function.
There are three screen saver modes: Picture
Orbiting; Picture Inversion and Background.
• Orbiting and Inversion are timer-programma-
ble modes that move the image around and
reverse its color tones, both methods of
reducing the danger of burn-in.
• The Background function is used when there
is dead space around the image creating a
sharp contrast in brightness. The background
tone can be set from black to dark grey or
light grey to compensate.
• An internal timer can be used to switch the
display on or off at specific times,
independently of the external control system.
This both reduces overall power consumption
and extends the life of the display.
Audio
◆ When audio is needed, users can rely on the
inboard amplifier to deliver 2x 7-watts of
clean, punchy sound. Better yet, the optional
SS-SP42FW speaker set mounts at the
sides
of the cabinet and delivers great sound from
a compact but stylish format which matches
the overall design of the display.
RM-980 Remote Commander
◆ To make setup as speedy as possible, the
FWD-42PV1 is supplied with the RM-980
Remote Commander. This allows direct
access to important functions such as input
selection, volume control, picture control,
aspect ratio and picture size and position.
◆ The remote can also be used to select and
control an individual display in an array
using it’s ID-mode and numerical keypad.
◆ The monitor can also be configured using a
6-language graphical on-screen menu.
◆ When required the remote can be used to
disable the physical control panel on the
monitor itself, including the on/off function.
Multi Display
For fast and easy video wall creation, the on-screen control features a Multi Display Setup
function. This lets users set the zoom factor or the amount of screens in the array, then the
location in the wall of each individual monitor. When audio is needed, users can rely on the
inboard amplifier to deliver 2x 7w of clean, punchy sound. Better still, the optional SS-SP42FW
speaker set mounts at the sides of the cabinet and delivers great sound from a compact but
stylish format which matches the overall design of the display. “
The zoom function can be used when multiple monitors are assembled into a video wall. By
setting the zoom level to 2x, 3x or 4x, arrays of 4, 9 or even 16 screens can be co-ordinated to
display a single image – all without any need for an additional picture processor.
