Overview - Siemens SCD 1297-C1 Operating Instructions Manual

1 Overview

The LCD monitor SCD 1297 has been developed and constructed especially for industrial
applications. This monitor can be used in applications where a standard CRT-device would be
unsuitable, due to space or environmental restrictions. Its compact enclosure opens up a wide
spectrum of possible application areas for the SCD 1297, ranging from air-conditioned computer
rooms behind a switching cabinet door, to the immediate vicinity of machinery in a special protective
enclosure. As is the case for all industrial systems, the monitor has been designed to withstand the
particular demands placed upon such equipment, e.g., it is immune to electromagnetic radiation and
can withstand a large temperature range.
The trend-setting LCD technology in this monitor has relegated picture geometry distortion and colour
patches to the past. Even at the low refresh rate of 50 Hz. the screen remains flicker-free. The SCD
1297 thus fulfils even the strictest ergonomic requirements. Pictures of lower resolution are expanded
to fill the screen.
The SCD 1297 can simultaneously display up to 262144 colours enabling realistic colour images and
videos to be displayed. The LCD-monitor contains special hardware to convert a standard analogue
VGA video signal for the display controller. Compatibility with conventional CRT monitors is, thus,
guaranteed.
It is very easy to adjust the monitor settings using the clearly designed OSD (On Screen Display). The
"Automatic Alignment" function does away with the need to carry out tedious adjustments such as
picture position and phase. At the press of a button, the monitor performs these alignments
automatically.
The SCD 1297 is equipped with an active 12.1" TFT display module with a maximum resolution of
800x600 pixels. The integrated power management system VESA DPMS, allows a significant
reduction in power consumption when the synchronisation signal from the computer has been
switched off, compared with that under "normal" operation.
Three versions of the monitor are available:
stand-alone chassis
mountable with front plate
19" rack 6 HE
