Cautions
1. PHOSPHOR BURN
DWIN is not responsible for any phosphor burn and it is not covered by the warranty.
As with all phosphor-based display devices and other plasma displays, plasma monitors can be
susceptible to phosphor burn under certain conditions. Some operating conditions, such as the
continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor burn if
proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in your DWIN PlasmaImage, DWIN
recommends the following guidelines for minimizing the possibility of image burn:
1. Display a moving image.
2. Avoid still images being continually displayed (including logos, video games, computer images
and TV signals with fixed graphics).
3. Display 16:9 video sources.
4. View 4:3 video sources only with the Sidebars option On.
5. Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
6. Always power off your PlasmaImage when you are finished viewing.
7. Use the Screen Saver mode and Sidebars option at all times.
8. The AC power receptacle should be connected to a non-switched 120 VAC outlet using the
power cord provided with the PlasmaImage
™
Display and Processor.
9. Do not drop the DVI connecters, because the shell can be easily deformed rending the
connector useless.
Introduction
PlasmaImage
™
HD-50 is a High-Definition Plasma Display System comprised of two complementary
components: a 50-inch high-resolution plasma monitor with 1366x768 native resolution and DWIN’s
acclaimed Digital Video Processor.
This unique separate component design provides the most flexible connectivity by allowing the Digital
Video Processor to be conveniently located near all the video sources while the Plasma Display is
mounted on a wall for an ideal viewing position.
The Digital Video Processor accepts up to 10 video inputs: two HDCP compliant DVI-D; two RGB; two
Component Video; two S-Video and two composite signals. The processor provides source switching
and digital video processing of both analog and digital video sources, delivering up to 1366x768 pixel
resolution.
Signal connections between the Digital Video Processor and the Plasma Display are uncompressed
and purely digital with a proprietary DVI cable for optimal picture quality. The cable includes a bi-
directional communication link between two units used to transmit signals (on, off, display status…)
between the Plasma Display and the Processor. In order to power up the Plasma Display the DVI cable
must be connected and the AC power mast be applied to both units.
The Plasma Display and Digital Video Processor have IR sensors that allow the system to be controlled
from either unit. An infrared wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects the input source
and adjusts all of the operating controls. The system may also be controlled from the front panel or from
a RS-232 serial port.
The Processor determines the video signal type by measuring horizontal and vertical scanning
frequencies. If the video signal matches a predefined video source, the Processor then recalls a
predefined setting from the system’s memory. The predefined video sources include: 480i, 480p, 580i,
580p, 1080i, 540p, and 720p and computer sources: VGA, SVGA, XGA and SXGA. In addition to
