1848.0. "VRT19-HA Display bleeding" by SWAM1::PANGALLO_DA () Fri Feb 07 1997 15:36

    I have a customer who has a vrt19-ha connected to an Alphastation
    3400. When the Digital logon logo is displayed the lighter color
    of the logon box with the Digital logo "overshoots" a light shade
    over the darker background just to the right of the box. This is the
    case with any kind of window that is lighter than the background.
    That is the best way I can describe this, I have tried another VRT19
    as well as connecting the monitor to another system. 
    
    Anyone have any ideas?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dan

1848.1	cable?	WRKSYS::SCHUMANN		`Sat Feb 08 1997 17:25`	3
	This is typically caused by impedance mismatch in the cable or termination. Is the customer using the correct cable?

	NB: The DEC 3000-400 is a `bird', specifically a Sandpiper, and is usually discussed over in the WRKSYS::DEC3000 notes conference. The video cable may/will vary by the video controller installed in the system. Part numbers appear to be 17-02906-01, and (with the PMAGB-B TURBOchannel controller) BC29G-09. (There are various user documentation files referenced over in WRKSYS::DEC3000.)
1848.3	vrt19-ha	SWAM1::PANGALLO_DA		`Tue Feb 11 1997 01:06`	2
	As far as I can tell. I tried two different cables, both Dec cables.
1848.4	vrt19 cable types	SWAM1::PANGALLO_DA		`Tue Feb 11 1997 01:21`	2
	I don't remember but I am pretty sure they are the cables as mentioned in reply #2.
1848.5	Wrong Hemisphere?	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Wed Feb 12 1997 09:56`	3
	The -HA suffix is usually Southern Hemisphere video. Where are you?
1848.6	Gods country is where I be	SWAM1::PANGALLO_DA		`Fri Feb 28 1997 12:09`	1
	I am in northern Arizona.
1848.7	I've always wondered why...	STAR::jacobi.zko.dec.com::jacobi	Paul A. Jacobi - OpenVMS Systems Group	`Fri Feb 28 1997 12:43`	7
	Can anyone give a brief explaination of the difference between northern and southern hemiphere monitors? -Paul
1848.8	anywhere but here	WRKSYS::HOUSE	Kenny House, Workstations Engineering	`Fri Feb 28 1997 13:46`	7
	re .7 - why north and south? ... See note 1509.* for some info on northern versus southern hemisphere monitors. Or, if you're seriously self-abusive, note 424.* in the ATLANT::TERMINALS conference (press KP7). -- Kenny House
1848.9	ATLANT::TERMINALS moved to HUMANE::TERMINALS	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Fri Feb 28 1997 17:36`	0
1848.10	use ATLANT::TERMINALS	WRKSYS::HOUSE	Kenny House, Workstations Engineering	`Fri Feb 28 1997 17:55`	7
	There appear to be two TERMINALS conferences: ATLANT::TERMINALS is the more current, and HUMANE::TERMINALS is write-locked (with no immediately obvious pointer to its successor, but you can dig around in there and find it). The master list in TURRIS::EASYNET_CONFERENCES says ATLANT, I'd stick with that. -- Kenny House
