1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Raptor SQ2804 is a 28.05" / 71.0 cm (712 mm diagonal) LCD monitor with native resolution of 2048
x 2048 (1:1 aspect ratio) pixels. It was designed and developed to meet the very specific and stringent
requirements of the mission critical environment; Air Traffic Management, where system availability and
reliability are of paramount importance. In addition to offering advanced display technical features and
functionalities it is fully backwards compatible with the Sony DDM CRT monitor.
In addition, user ergonomics has also always been foremost in our development concepts since the days
of CRT production. EIZO achieved substantial diminution of electromagnetic wave for which CRTs were
renowned to discharge, proper colour indication with full colour reproduction for LCD monitors, and
automatic adjustment functionality. Such ergonomic criteria have been addressed to ensure high
acceptance from the operators
The Raptor SQ2804 uses the 4th generation of SHARPs ASV (Axially Symmetric Alignment) LCD panel
module powered by EIZOs own EIZO eBlue LED Backlight Technology. As well as reducing glare and
reflection from the screen, the technology is able to offer deeper black levels, better contrast ratios, as
well as achieving wide viewing angles of at least 170 in all directions. This is all achieved without
impacting response time as much as rival technologies do. This is achieved thanks to a specially
designed cell structure, which offers blur free images on moving video.
EIZO eBlue backlight technology is a direct backlight system offers an unrivalled brightness attainment.
This means that the backlights do not have to labour as hard to maintain brightness levels used in the
ATM environment than the competition. Blue LED also offers a number of key technical advantages over
White LED solutions, such as, but not limited to:

Higher Efficiency
Longer Lifetime
Superior Uniformity
Lower Color Shift
Lower Lumen Depreciation
Adjustable Color Point
No White LED Binning Issues

The Raptor SQ2804 also is highly customizable with additional video signal inputs, communication
interfaces (including TCP/IP), protection glass, mechanical designs, etc

6. VIDEO SIGNAL INTERFACES


6.1.

DIGITAL VISUAL INTERFACE (DVI) (Dual-Link Support)

The digital video inputs use the standard dual link DVI interface. Dual link DVI is used to support the high
data rate (dot clock) as required by this high resolution of 2048x2048. The monitor also supports lower
resolutions (e.g. 640x480, 720x400, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200, and others). This
feature is used during boot up on some machines that use lower resolution during the initial phase.
The monitor provides EDID information (Extended Display Identification Data) to the host system
(workstation) via its DDC connection (Display Data Channel). This data includes, in addition to standard
VESA timings, a specific timing for a 2048x2048 resolution @60Hz.

8. ADVANCED FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITIES


8.1.

ADJUSTMENT OF ANALOG SIGNAL SOURCE (DDM)

There are no industrial standardizations or regulations of the signal coming from an analog signal source.
Therefore, as the signal characteristics will differ depending on the graphics cards or cables used it is
important to be able to make adjustments at the monitor. Whenever the monitor is receives an analog signal
for the first time, an integrated automatic adjustment function performs the adjustment. It uses the H- and Vfrequencies of the input signal to adjust the frequencies, phase and picture position of the image. In some
cases, depending on the quality of the signal input it may be necessary to undertake an additional manual
adjustment. The two most important parameters to adjust on an analog signal are frequency and phase.
With poor frequency adjustment the image may appear blurred. With each and every change in frequency
there is a direct impact on any blurred fields. The correct setting is only achieved when the image is consistent
across the screen. Even if the entire image is blurred it must be consistent. Any blurred images will be
sharpened by adjusting the Phase. When undertaking the adjustment of frequency and phase it important to
use an image that can show any deficiencies clearly. Like the following image, an image with multiple parallel
lines is recommended.

Incorrect Frequency

Correct Frequency

Figure 10: Frequency Adjustment

When DDM compatible timings are used, it is not possible to adjust the frequency.
All graphics adapters used in ATC use the frequency setting of 2816.

8.2.

AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT CONTROL

The monitor comes equipped with an integrated automatic backlight control function which ensures
consistent backlight brightness throughout the life of the monitor. By using this function you can
determine the exact cd/m level desired and set this level via the OSD.
This functionality allows you to set the monitors brightness to any value between 20 ~ 240cd/m. While
the monitors LCD panel module has a maximum brightness of 350cd/m the maximum automatic
brightness setting is lower. The reason for this is that there is natural deterioration of any light source
and the automatic backlight control function needs to compensate for this over time to achieve a
consistent brightness over the lifetime of the monitor.
When using the monitor with the automatic backlight control function disabled, the brightness level can
be adjusted between the values 0 ~ 1000

8.3.

LOCKING OSD

The OSD may be locked so uses cannot access it without a pre-defined access code. This code can be
set via the SETUP menu on the OSD itself. The factory default code is 1 2 3 4.
Take care to remember any password you change to as this can only be changed knowing the
current valid password. Not even the factory reset function will reset the password back to the
factory default.

HARDWARE MONITOR CALIBRATION

The EIZO Raptor SQ2804 and SQ2814 come equipped with a hardware calibration functionality that can
be accessed and operated through the On-Screen Display (OSD). In order to use this functionality it is
essential to have the EIZO tested and approved luminance sensor; the EACAL-R01. No additional
hardware or software of any description is required, ensuring a completely non-intrusive calibration
operation. Please contact EIZO for further details regarding the EACAL-R01.

8.6.1.

How to Attach the EACAL-R01 Sensor

Connect the EACAL-S01, via the adapter cable to the RS232-2 port on the monitor
Position the sensor to the middle of the monitors screen ready for calibration

Caution
For accurate results the monitors color characteristics are stable prior to any calibration. To ensure
the color characteristics are stable it is essential to power the monitor on at the approximate target
brightness for the period of two (2) hours before calibration. This will allow accurate calibration and
reading measurements from the sensor.
To ensure correct calibration and reading measurements and avoid potential damage of the sensor
itself that you strictly follow the on-screen instructions at all times.
The sensor must be correctly connected to the RS232-2 port at the rear of the monitor, using only
the adapter cable provided.

Management Information Base (MIB)

SNMP itself does not define which information (which variables) a managed system should offer. Rather,
it uses an extensible design, where the available information is defined by Management Information
Bases (MIBs). MIBs describe the structure of the management data of a device subsystem; they use a
hierarchical namespace containing Object Identifiers (OID). Each OID identifies a variable that can be
read or set via SNMP. The OID consists of numbers separated by decimal points (i.e. 1.3.6.1.4.1.2682.1).
The MIB hierarchy can be depicted as a tree with a nameless root, the levels of which are assigned by
different organizations. The top-level MIB OIDs belong to different standards organizations, while lowerlevel object IDs are allocated by associated organizations. This model permits management across all
layers of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model, extending into applications such as
databases, email, and the Java reference model, as MIBs can be defined for all such area-specific
information and operations. A standard MIB is defined by the factory and can be customize upon request.
The following figure shows an example of an MIB for the monitor:

SNMP Command Messages

SNMP uses five basic messages (GET, GET-NEXT, GET-RESPONSE, SET, and TRAP) to
communicate between the manager and the agent.
The GET and GET-NEXT messages allow the manager to request information for a specific variable.
The agent, upon receiving a GET or GET-NEXT message, will issue a GET-RESPONSE message to the
manager with either the information requested or an error indication as to why the request cannot be
processed.
A SET message allows the manager to request a change be made to the value of a specific variable in
the case of an alarm remote that will operate a relay. The agent will then respond with a GETRESPONSE message indicating the change has been made or an error indication as to why the change
cannot be made.
The TRAP message allows the agent to spontaneously inform the manager of an "important" event.
Most of the messages (GET, GET-NEXT, and SET) are only issued by the SNMP manager. The TRAP
message is the only message capable of being initiated by an agent. This notifies the SNMP manager as
soon as an alarm condition occurs, instead of waiting for the SNMP manager to ask.

10. SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL


The monitor has two logical channels for serial communication available. Both channels can be
simultaneously used with USB and RS232 interfaces. Channel two can additionally be used alternatively
as an RS232 or RS422 interface.

Figure 14: Internal Logical Channels

Switching between the RS232-2 and RS422 is done via the OSD menu. Serial communication is
undertaken using one of the three different transmission protocols available:
(i)

Standard Protocol

This protocol supports all adjustments and controls of the monitor.


(ii)

Simplified Protocol

This protocol has a simplified structure, and only allows the basic adjustment of Brightness, Contrast
and Backlight Brightness. It can also query the monitors system status for information such as error
messages, temperature, active source and operating time.
(iii)

DDM Protocol

This protocol is used in Sony-DDM compatible systems.


The following table shows which transmission protocols are available for each of the different interfaces:

* Note: RS232-2 interface has additional handshake signals which are needed for communication via DDM-Protocol

TROUBLESHOOTING

12.1.

NO PICTURE

Issue

Potential Cause / Remedy


If the LED2 is not ON this shows there is no main power to the monitor or the monitor is
turned OFF. Please check if the main power cable is correctly connected. If so, please

Power indicator LED2 not ON

check if the main power switch on the back of the monitor is turned on. If so, then please
press the power button on the front bezel of the monitor.
If this does not work then please disconnect the monitor from the main power source and
turn it on again after a few minutes.
Move the mouse and press any key on the keyboard
If LED1 is on then the monitor is in standby mode

Power indicator LED2 is ON,


but still no image.

If LED1 is flashing then there is no valid video signal on the selected video signal
interface. Switch the signal input using the OSD to ensure the monitor is trying to read the
right signal input interface.
It is possible the brightness setting has been turned down. Please check this setting and
increase if this is the case.

IMAGING PROBLEMS (Digital & Analog)

Issue

Potential Cause / Remedy


Use Backlight, Brightness or Contrast adjustments on the Quick Menu or OSD to
adjust the monitor

The screen is too bright or too


dark

If the screen is too bright enable the backlight controller and set your desired cd/m level.
Note: Any monitor backlight has a limited lifespan. Should the screen become too dark or
begin to flicker after a long usage time, contact EIZO.
Check if the PC is configured to meet the resolution and vertical frequency requirements of
the monitor.
Adjust the clock, frequency and phase settings. With each and every change in frequency

The characters are blurred.

there is a direct impact on any blurred fields. The correct setting is only achieved when the
image is consistent across the screen. Any blurred images will be sharpened by adjusting
the Phase. When undertaking the adjustment of frequency and phase it important to use
an image that can show any deficiencies clearly and mentioned earlier in this Users
Manual.
Afterimages are particular to monitors. These happen after a period of time displaying the
same image without change. Avoiding displaying the same image for a long period of time

An afterimage has appeared.

is the ideal countermeasure for such a phenomenon.


Use the screen saver, power off the monitor periodically, and reduce brightness settings to
minimum levels without interfering with daily usage.

Red, Green, Blue and/or White


dots are visible on the screen.
Interference patterns or
pressure marks appeared on
the screen.

This is a limitation of LCD panel technology and a characteristic of the LCD panel module
itself. It is not a product failure of the monitor. For more information please contact EIZO.
Leave the monitor on with a white or black screen. The symptom may disappear in time.

GLOSSARY

ASV (Advanced Super View) -

It is a VA mode where liquid crystal molecules orient perpendicular to the substrates in the off
state, developed by SHARP. The bottom sub-pixel has continuously covered electrodes, while the upper one has a smaller area
electrode in the centre of the sub-pixel. When the field is on, the liquid crystal molecules start to tilt towards the centre of the sub-pixels
because of the electric field; as a result, a continuous pinwheel alignment (CPA) is formed; the azimuthal angle rotates 360 degrees
continuously resulting in an excellent viewing angle..

Auto Adjustment -

A function that automatically adjusts the clock, phase, and screen position of the monitor to their ideal levels.
Auto Adjustment is activated through the monitors OSD menu. Only applicable for analog signal input.

Auto Backlight Brightness Stabilization -

A drift correction circuit that stabilizes the screen brightness level within
minutes after start-up or coming out of power saving mode. Without this technology, brightness takes up to two hours to stabilize.

Backlight -

The light source positioned behind the LCD panel which illuminates the display screen. The Raptor monitor uses three
replaceable trays containing the backlights.

BNC Connector (Bayonet NeillConcelman) -

A quick connect/disconnect RF connector used for coaxial cable. It features


two bayonet lugs on the female connector; mating is achieved with only a quarter turn of the coupling nut.

Pixel Clock -

The analog signal input monitor needs to reproduce a clock of the same frequency as the dot clock of the graphics
system in use, when the analog signal is converted to a digital signal for image display. This is called clock adjustment. If the clock
frquesncy is not set correctly, some vertical bars appear on the screen.

Color Temperature -

Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. The
screen becomes reddish at a low temperature, and bluish at a high temperature, like the flame temperature.
5000 K: Slightly reddish white
6500 K: White referred to as daylight-balanced color
9300 K: Slightly bluish white

CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) -

A vacuum tube used in TVs and computer displays. An electron gun in the neck of the tube emits a
beam of electrons that strike the inside front surface of the tube. This surface is coated with phosphor that glows, producing images on
the outside screen.

DDC (Display Data Channel) -

A communication channel for the transmission of information between the display monitor and
the PC that allows for automatic configuration of the hardware. In other words, "Plug and Play" compatibility.

DDC/CI (Display Data Channel / Command Interface) -

VESA provides the standardization for the interactive

communication of the setting information, etc. between a PC and the monitor.

DDM Communication Protocol -

A communication protocol allowing the user to gain basic adjustment and control over the
monitor in Sony-DDM compatible systems using an RS232 or RS422 interface.

DisplayPort -

Developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), DisplayPort is a digital display interface which
provides a single, simplified, high-bandwidth connection for video and audio signals sent from a PC to a compatible monitor.

Dot Pitch -

The distance from the centre of one pixel to the centre of the next closest pixel of the same color. Pixel pitch gives a
general idea of the monitor's ability to produce sharp images; the smaller the pixel pitch, the sharper the image.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) -

DVI is a digital interface standard. DVI allows direct transmission of the PCs digital data
without loss. This adopts the TMDS transmission system and DVI connectors. There are two types of DVI connectors. One is a DVI-D
connector for digital signal input only. The other is a DVI-I connector for both digital and analog signal inputs.

Dual Link DVI -

To support display devices requiring higher video bandwidth, there is provision for a dual DVI link. A dual link
doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling video bandwidth at a given pixel clock frequency. All modes that require more
than 165 MHz pixel clock frequency must use dual-link mode.

No. E_v2.12

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) -

A data structure provided by a digital display to describe its capabilities to

a video source (e.g. graphics card ).

EIZO eBlue -

EIZOs own unique LED backlight technology where backlights consist of BLUE LED cells and remote high quality nonsilicate phosphor sheet technology

Gain -

This is used to adjust each color parameter for red, green and blue. An LCD monitor displays the color by the light passing
through the panel color filter. Red, green and blue are the three primary colors. All the colors on the screen are displayed by combining
these three colors. The color tone can be changed by adjusting the light intensity (volume) passing through each colors filter.

Gamma -

The relationship between a computer's inputs and the brightness or luminance displayed on a monitor. Gamma is
expressed in the following equation: Brightness (Luminance) = Constant x input-gamma. While gamma has no effect on black or white, it
does affect grey or midtones. If a monitor's gamma level is set too high, midtones will appear too dark. Conversely, if gamma is set too
low, midtones will appear too light.

Kelvin -

The Kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature. It is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units
and is assigned the unit symbol K.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) -

A Liquid Crystal Display is a non-emissive display. The active element on an EIZO LCD
monitor is a Twisted-Neumatic (TN), Vertically Aligned (VA) or In-Plane Switching (ISP) liquid crystal. LCDs are used in digital watches,
calculators, word processors, televisions, and of course computer displays.

Luminance -

The quality of the amount of radiating light perceived to be emitted from the display. This varies from a minimum for a
very dim appearance to a maximum for a very bright appearance.

Management Information Base (MIB) -

A virtual database used for managing the entities in a communications network.


Most often associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Megahertz (MHz) -

1,000,000 x Hertz. Dot Clock is measured in terms of Megahertz. If the dot clock is 25.2 MHz, this means
25,200,000 dots can be illuminated every second. This translates to one dot every Nano second.

Phase -

Phase means the sampling timing to convert the analog input signal to a digital signal. Phase adjustment is made to adjust the
timing. It is recommended that phase adjustment be made after the clock is adjusted correctly.

RAL Colors -

RAL colours are standard colors based on a series of color collections for industry paint and coatings and is the most
popular Central European Color Standard used today.

Refresh Rate -

The frequency with which the entire image on the screen is redrawn. The refresh rate is measured in hertz, therefore,
a refresh rate of 60 Hz, means the image is redrawn 60 times per second.

Resolution -

The LCD panel consists of numerous pixels of specified size, which are illuminated to form images. This monitor

consists of horizontal 2048 pixels and 2048 vertical pixels). At a resolution of 2048 2048 all pixels are illuminated as a full screen (1:1).

Response Time -

The amount of time measured in milliseconds (ms) it takes a pixel to go from black to white and back to black
again. Faster response times minimize ghosting and blurring on a monitor displaying moving images, and they are indicated by reduced
time measurements in product specifications. Although cited, black-to-white-to-black response time is not the ideal indicator of a monitor's
ability to play moving images smoothly since it doesn't measure the transition time between gray-to-gray midtones included in all color
images. Therefore, gray-to-gray midtones response time is the better metric of a monitor's performance to play motion pictures.

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) -

A European Union directive that stands for "the restriction of the use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". The six restricted substances are lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, PBDE (polybrominated diphenylethers), and PBB (polybrominated biphenyls). RoHS went into effect in July 2006
and applies to most electrical and electronic equipment manufactured and imported into the EU. All EIZO monitors and accessories
manufactured after June 2006 are RoHS compliant.

The maximum angle measured in degrees at which an LCD monitor's screen can be viewed at a minimally
acceptable level. A viewing angle is a measure of the contrast ratio and usually corresponds to a contrast ratio of 10:1 or 5:1.

Vertical Scanning Frequency -

The refresh rate or number of times in one second that data from the frame buffer is sent to
the LCD panel in order to display a moving image. A scanning frequency of 60 Hz means the screen is completely scanned and refreshed
60 times per second.

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) -

A European Community directive that imposes responsibility on


manufacturers to provide free collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment and achieve recovery and reuse and recycling
targets of 75% and 65% respectively. WEEE went into effect in August 2005. All EIZO products manufactured since June 2005 comply
