Please refer to Figure-2b on the facing page to familiarize yourself with the front panel features of the VPOD LCD display modules that can

be specified for the AVMFlex-SA Series units. The following sections describe these features and are referenced, by number, to Figure-

2b. The AVMFlex-SA 1U front panel, to which these displays are installed, is described and illustrated on pages 8 and 9.

Front Panel Features

Tally Indication LED

This tri-color LED can glow RED, GREEN, or YELLOW to indicate tally status associated with the video signal displayed.

Refer to page 23 for tally connection details.

Display Controls

The displayed video image for each VPOD LCD display module may be separately adjusted using these four image controls:

• TNT = Tint; adjust for desired image color hue (NTSC only).

• COL = Color Saturation; adjust for desired amount of image color saturation.

• BRT = Brightness; adjust for desired screen brightness.

• CNT = Contrast; adjust for desired image scene, dark-to-bright contrast.

NOTE: The 5.8" VPOD (VPOD5W) display module instead uses on-screen controls as described in Item 6.

LCD Video Display

Selected video sources are displayed here. Screen image parameters are adjustable by four manual controls (Item 2). See

page 6 for LCD display specifications.

A/B Input Select Switch (CVBS or SDI)

This switch selects between the CVBS video input (and Analog audio input) and SDI video input (Item E, page 12)

sources. The audio sources are relayed to the video selection. The A/B Input Select Switch selects the video and audio

source signals according to the following switch positions:

• Position "A": SDI video input with embedded audio (Item E, page 12).

• Position "B": CVBS video input (Item G, page 12) and Balanced Analog Audio Input (Item J, page 14).

Power Indication LED

This LED glows GREEN to indicate the unit is connected to mains power and an operation voltage is present.

VPOD5W On-Screen Display Controls (AVMFlex-SA/5W Only)

Display controls for the 5.8" VPOD (VPOD5W) are set via these three buttons. Parameters are manipulated as

described on page 16.

VPOD - LCD Video Display Modules

Each VPOD LCD video display module houses the LCD Video Display Screen, Display Controls, A/B Input Select Switch,

Tally Indication LED, and Power Indication LED. Each VPOD module is attached to the AVMFlex-SA front panel by a length

of flexible gooseneck tubing. AVMFlex-SA Series units are manufactured with a VPOD module permanently attached to the front

panel. Five sizes of LCD display screens are available for the AVMFlex-SA Series; 4", 5.6", 5.8" (16:9), 6.8", and 7" (16:9).

The VPOD module may be adjusted for viewing angle independant of the fixed position of the main chassis. There is about a +/- 60

degree field of movement of the VPOD module from the vertical and horizontal plane of the front panel. When adjusting the angle of

the video screen, grasp the VPOD module at the right/left or top/bottom sides. Care should be taken not to touch the LCD video

screen itself with the fingers or other objects.

Section 2: Operation

NOTE: The 5.8" VPOD (VPOD5W), unlike the other VPOD models, features on-screen controls. See page 16 for

descriptions of these controls and their use.

CAUTION: Do NOT rotate (twist) the VPOD module around the gooseneck axis; the torque may

damage the gooseneck and/or internal wiring. Also, avoid touching the LCD video screen itself with

the fingers or other objects.
