Features
The RM-2440 is a color video monitor in a 2RU chassis containing four 4" (100mm) Active Matrix TFT LCD displays. Each LCD
is back lit with a cold cathode fluorescent tube. The LCD’s are mounted in a rotatable cylinder, which allows the operator to rotate
the display array ±55° in the vertical plane to provide optimum operator viewing angles. Each LCD display has separate controls for
brightness, contrast, color, and tint (NTSC only).
The standard RM-2440 features two composite analog (CVBS) video inputs per LCD display for a total of eight inputs (NTSC
and PAL autosensing). One of the two inputs (per display) is selected using a front panel A/B switch. Each of the eight CVBS
video inputs has a passive loop-through on a BNC connector and a 75 Ohm/Hi-Z termination select switch.
SDI signals may be monitored with installation of a field-installable option (one per display). There are two models of optional SDI
Input Module; the RMSDI-1 and RMSDI-2. The RMSDI-2 features an SDI input, a reclocked SDI output, a converted (from
SDI) CVBS output, an SDI Lock indication LED, and autosensing of NTSC/PAL signal formats. The RMSDI-1 offers a
somewhat reduced feature set for cost savings and is identical except that it lacks the SDI Output and requires manually setting a
switch for NTSC/PAL formatting. Each installed SDI Input module disables the second (or B) CVBS video input in the section in
which it is installed. Selection of the SDI Input Module(s) is accomplished using the appropriate front panel A/B switch.
Each display also features a tri-color (red/green/yellow) tally LED indicator. A DB-25 connector on the rear panel is used to
interface the RM-2440 with your facilities tally system. An optional field-installable audio indication module (AIM-1) can be
plugged into the tally connector in order to use the RM-2440 tally LEDs for indication of audio presence and loss.
