PL-43HDX & VIVIX™ PFP™ CONTROLLER OPERATION
The PL-43HDX is actually a two-piece system- the Plasma display itself, and the Vivix™ PFP™
Controller. The Vivix PFP Controller is a Digital Scaler that converts NTSC Video, S-Video or
Component video to the native resolution of the Plasma display- 1024 x 768. Typically, fixed-pixel
devices provide a much more resolved and artifact-free image when they are fed a progressive signal
matched to the display’s native resolution- exactly what the Vivix PFP Controller does. It also simpli-
fies the operation of the system, as all image adjustments (including aspect ratio control) and video
switching are done at the Vivix PFP Controller, not the Plasma itself.
General Overview
Quick Setup Instructions
1. Install the Plasma display. This could be either table mount, ceiling mount or wall mount
configurations.
2. Place the Controller in a rack or another desired location. For best results, It is recommended
that the Controller be placed in such an area that less than 75' of RGB cable is needed.
3. Connect the RGB cable between the RGB output of the Controller and INPUT 2 (BNC)
of the Plasma display.
4. Connect all sources to the CONTROLLER (NTSC Component video, S-Video or Composite
Video from sources such as DVD players or Satellite receivers, or a DTV or Computer source
through the Controller’s pass-through).
5. Install the required ComLink to PL-43HDX Panel for auto control from the PL-43HDX Controller.
6. Plug in AC power to both the Controller and the Plasma display, and turn them both on.
7. Select the desired source on the Controller. Ensure that source is now displayed on the Plasma.
If it is not, please check the RGB cable wiring, especially H and V Sync.
