CAUTION
· To prevent injury and material damage, thoroughly read this manual and all labels found on equipment before
attempting to mount, install, move, or adjust the product.
· Do not install the unit outside or in open air. Doing so will lead to water seepage into the system, resulting in fire
or electric shock.
· Be especially careful when working around parts of the system that have sharp edges.
· When performing installation work from a height, take suitable precautions to guard against falling. Set up a barrier
around the work site to prevent accidentally-dropped objects from injuring persons standing or walking below.
· Keep all foreign objects out of the unit. Do not tamper with the unit, or fire or electric shock may result.
· Observe the following operating environmental limitations:
Temperature: 0 to 40°C
Humidity: 20 to 80%
· Install the unit only in properly ventilated areas.

Features and Functions of the PDP-501MX Plasma Display
· High-definition XGA wide panel
The Display uses a high-definition XGA wide panel, which provides 1280 x 768 resolution with more than 980.000
pixels. This resolution is more than 2.5 times higher than that of conventional panels, and enables multimedia
information to be reproduced more vividly and accurately than ever before.
· Clear, high-quality image
Provides 8-bit RGB in 256 gradations/16.77 million colors. A new exclusive technology developed by Pioneer eliminates
the pseudo-contour anomaly, that is typically observed in plasma displays.
· Unrivalled brightness
A brightness of 350 cd/m2 (white peak, for panel unit), which is the highest so far for XGA panels, has been achieved by
maximizing light-emitting efficiency.
· Flat, lightweight design
The Pioneer plasma display monitor is also unrivalled in compactness: the 50-inch screen is only 98 mm in depth, and
weighs only 43.0 kg. It can therefore be mounted at locations where conventional displays are difficult to install.
· Supports a variety of signals from computers
Full specification PC are supported in video modes from VGA (640 x 480 resolution) to XGA (1024 x 762 resolution). The
SXGA (1280 x 1024 resolution) mode also accommodates PC signals, although a summary replay approach is employed
in this mode. The use of a dedicated video card also allowed access to a display of 1280 x 768 resolution, as well. This
monitor also supports HDTV broadcasts*.
Note:
* To display HDTV images on this monitor, an HDTV decoder, additionally.
· Optimized for industrial/public-address use
·
An RS-232C interface is provided for control from the exterior
·
The combination terminal enables a single PC to control multiple monitor systems
·
The integrator mode enables more precise adjustments than ever before
·
A color temperature (white balance) switching function is provided for retakes, and a key-lock feature prevents
accidental or unauthorized use of the monitor
·
Multiple input and output terminals (four inputs and eight outputs) are provided
