Maintenance
■ Screen Cleaning
Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (I-Tech Part No. V-HWP-K). A clean microfiber cloth can also be used using only non-abrasive and ammonia-free cleaning agents. Do not use paper towels.
Paper towel fibers are coarse and may scratch the surface of the polycarbonate faceplate or leave streaks on the
surface. Antistatic and fingerprint resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the
screen to avoid damaging the LCD.
■ Faceplate Dusting
Dust the unit with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Dry or abrasive cloths may cause electrostatic charge on the surface,
attracting dust particles. Neutralize static electricity effects by using the recommended cleaning and polishing practice.
Warranty
I-Tech warranties to the first consumer that this V-R171-IMD-HDSDI LCD monitor will, under normal use, be free from
defects in workmanship and materials, when received in its original container, for a period of one year from the purchase
date. This warranty is extended to the first consumer only, and proof of purchase is necessary to honor the warranty. If
there is no proof of purchase provided with a warranty claim, I-Tech reserves the right not to honor the warranty set forth
above. Therefore, labor and parts may be charged to the consumer. This warranty does not apply to the product exterior
or cosmetics. Misuse, abnormal handling, alterations or modifications in design or construction void this warranty. It is
considered normal for a minimal amount of pixels, not to exceed three, to fail on the periphery of the display active
viewing area. I-Tech reserves the option to refuse service for display pixel failure if deemed unobtrusive to effective use of
the monitor by our technicians. No sales personnel of the seller or any other person is authorized to make any warranties
other than those described above, or to extend the duration of any warranties on behalf of I-Tech, beyond the time period
described above. Due to constant effort to improve products and product features, specifications may change without
notice.

Product Overview
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI is a triple 6.5” LCD monitor with HD-SDI inputs and In-Monitor Display functionality – a costeffective "all-in-one" solution for post-production houses, broadcasters, and mobile units. This fully integrated approach
eliminates the need for additional or separate Under Monitor Displays and allows UMD information and tallies to be
displayed directly within a I-Tech flat panel monitor, while saving precious rack space. A variety of features are readily
available including on-screen Video Time Code, three-color "Soft" Tallies, Audio Presence Indicator, and a new
RotoMenu™ feature that allows fast, direct, and easy menu navigation.
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI integrates easily with existing Tally systems and controllers, including Image Video, TSL, and
MEI protocols. This 3RU unit also ships ready to rack mount and provides up to 20% more screen when compared to our
competitors' LCD and CRT models that occupy the same space. This is in addition to the benefits of low weight and power
consumption when compared to similar CRT products and separate Under Monitor Display configurations. The V-R171IMD-HDSDI is a perfect solution for video wall applications and systems.
Each screen offers a single HDSDI/SDI input with active loop-through capability. Additional features include ultra-wide
viewing angles, adjustment settings memory, frame markers, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, Blue Only mode, and user-definable
function buttons. The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI can also be used as three standalone displays with HD-SDI loop-through.
Features
■ High-Resolution Triple 10.4” Panels
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI features three all-digital TFT-MegaPixel™ active matrix LCD systems with 2.4 million pixels
each. The LCD panels feature a brightness of 650 cd/m2, 500:1 contrast ratio, and a 160° all-around viewing angle
making them ideal in a variety of environments and lighting conditions.
■ In-Monitor Display
In-Monitor Display allows on-screen text and tally indication, controlled locally or remotely via a variety of industry
standard protocols.
■ OSD Features
Embedded time code and an embedded audio presence indicator can be displayed on the screen in a variety of
configurations.

IMD CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued)
■ Tally Source
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI tally (OSD and LED) can be controlled in a variety of different ways. Use the Tally Source
setting to choose how tally is controlled:
Standard
Use the Standard setting to control tally via contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface.
Image Video HW
Use the Image Video HW setting to control Image Video tally states via contact closure on the HD-15 tally
interface. Contact closure of the Red pin corresponds to Image Video Tally 1, and the Green pin maps to Image
Video Tally 2. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation
for further information.
Image Video 422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol. LED and
OSD tally will be disabled in this mode, as Image Video tally states are manifested in the text color and other
parameters. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.
Standard + IV422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol, while
controlling LED and OSD tally using contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface. This mode requires the IMD
Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.
TSL/I-Tech 422
Use the TSL/I-Tech 422 setting to control OSD and LED tally via the TSL or I-Tech serial protocols.
■ IMD Tally Mode
Use this setting when using Image Video tally control. Choose one of the following states, in conjunction with the
Image Video controlling device. T1, T2, T1T2, T2T1, T1-, T2-, T1T2-, T2T1-. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.
■ Advanced Features
Aspect ratio settings, blue-only mode, and monochrome mode are a few of the advanced features making the VR171-IMD-HDSDI at home in any broadcast environment. Pixel-to-Pixel mode also allows native display of any
incoming image format.
■ Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in both 4:3 and 16:9 modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect ratios used in
broadcast environments.
■ User-Definable Function Buttons
Two user-definable function buttons allow quick access to numerous settings and features including aspect ratio,
screen markers, monochrome mode, color temperature, and more.
