Product Overview
The Orchid OR-841-HDSDI is a single 8.4” fully featured camera-top and eld monitor system. The OR-841-
HDSDI offers built-in Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Built In Speaker with audio outputs, and
several diagnostic tools. This monitor is ideal for use as a camera top or eld camera assist monitor. The OR-841-
HDSDI is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs with switched output. Diagnostic tools include our exclusive
ClipGuide feature, 16 Tri-Color Audio Bar Graph meters with peak hold and numeric display of headroom
and peak levels, and real-time analysis of color space conversion gamut errors. Other standard features include
factory calibrated screen, easy-to-navigate onscreen menus with RotoMenu control, 9 assignable function keys,
adjustable color temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, blue-only mode, monochrome
mode, H/V delay, and 7 assignable GPI inputs.
Features
High Resolution 8.4” Panel
The OR-841-HDSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features
a nominal brightness of 400 cd/m
environments and lighting conditions.

and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making each display ideal in a variety of
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black
clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions,
and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors
luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable
warning limits.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real
time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes,
positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain
from 1x to 5x.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and
Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide
levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under
exposures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper
ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With
these settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red
on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for
blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space
conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C
limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal
video production.

Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio using sixteen
64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with user-adjustable reference levels.
The Audio Level Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom levels,
as well as peak hold function. Audio Channel Loss Warning prevents errors
during monitoring.
Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essential in order to render colors correctly.
To display colors correctly, gray scale should maintain identical color
temperature. The white balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65
(6500K) so the user does not need to adjust white balance.
LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white balance can be
affected by a change in luminance level. Our unique color management
system solves this problem.
The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic White Balance
function that allows a “One Button” calibration procedure when used with a
Minolta CA-210 color probe. All Orchid Series LCD panels are calibrated
at the factory to ensure color conformity between screens.
Select color temperature and gamma mode
Color temperature presets may be selected between D65 or D93 as well as user-dened settings.
Gamma settings are adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 in 0.1 steps. The standard setting is 2.2.
Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full screen modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect
ratios used in broadcast environments.
User-Denable Function Buttons
Nine user-denable function buttons and one Rotary Encoder on the front panel allow quick access to numerous
settings and features including Input 1, Input 2, Option Input, Waveform, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, aspect ratio,
screen markers, monochrome mode, H/V delay mode, and more.
AUDIO Jack
There are two 3.5mm AUDIO jacks (one on the front panel for headphones and one on rear panel to feed an
external amplier). It is possible to utilize both the front panel headphone connector and rear panel speaker
connector simultaneously with individual volume controls. When not in menu mode, the rotary encoder on the
front panel may control the headphone and internal speaker volume.

Installation and Initial Setup
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the OR-841-HDSDI monitor and verify that the following items are included:
• OR-841-HDSDI Monitor
• 12V 4A XLR Power Supply with 4-Pin Female XLR Connector
• Operating Instructions
Inspect the unit for any physical damage that may have occurred during shipping. Should there be any damage,
immediately call Marshall Electronics Customer Service at (800) 800-6608. If you are not located within the
continental United States, call +1 (310) 333-0606.
Mounting
The OR-841-HDSDI is designed as a tabletop camera assist or tri-pod/camera-top monitor. It comes complete
with tabletop stand, easy-to-carry handle on top, and is equipped with both ¼-20 and 3/8” threaded mounts on
top and bottom. The included handle and stand may be removed for access to the threaded mounts.
There is an optional OR-8RK rack mount kit for mounting two OR-841-HDSDI units side by side in a standard
19” rack. When used in this conguration, the Dual OR-841-HDSDI units occupy 5 RU and have a +/- 40° Tilt.
Other optional accessories include the OR-8HO Custom Hood for daylight viewing and the OR-8HA optional
side mount handle. One handle may be mounted on each side of the OR-841 for easy carrying during a wireless
camera shoot.

Connections and Power-On
Plug the power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the 4-pin female XLR
connector to the back of the monitor. The monitor will draw no more than 4.0 Amps at 12 Volts in operation
(24 Watts).
Connect the required cables for video signal input and output (Power must be applied to the OR-841-HDSDI for
the active loop-through outputs to be activated). All BNC connectors are rated at 75Ω.
