Installation and Initial Setup
■
Unpacking
Carefully unpack the QV171-HDSDI monitor and verify that the following items are included:
• QV171-HDSDI Monitor
• V-PS12-5V-1 Power Supply with 2-Pin Twist Lock Connector
• Operating Instructions
Inspect the unit for any physical damage that may have occurred during shipping. Should there be any damage,
immediately contact Marshall Electronics at (800) 800-6608. If you are not located within the continental United States,
call +1 (310) 333-0606.
■
Installation
The QV171-HDSDI can be mounted in any standard EIA 19” equipment rack. Theattached rack ears can be angled to
provide the user control over the viewing angle. Adequate ventilation is required when installed to prevent possible
damage to the monitor’s internal components.
A VESA standard 75mm hole pattern also allows custom mounting installations. Alternately, the QV171-HDSDI can be
used in a desktop configuration with optional stand (Marshall part number V-ST15).

(Marshall Part Number V-ST15)
■
Connections, Power-On and Initial Setup
Plug the V-PS12-5V-1 power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the 2-pin twist lock
connector to the back of the monitor. Connect the required cables for video signals input and output. (Power must be
applied to the QV171-HDSDI for the active loop-though output to be activated.) The monitor defaults to ‘ON’ when
power is supplied.
For IMD setup details, see IMD Configuration Submenu on page 21.

Top and Front Panel Features
Power Button
Turn the monitor off or on by pressing the power
button. In the ON state, the LED on the power
button will illuminate green.
Input Channel Buttons
Pressing Ch.1, Ch.2, Ch.3, or Ch.4 will select
HDSDI-SDI Video Inputs 1, 2, 3 or 4. This also
switches the monitor to Full Screen Mode.
Quad Mode Button
Allows user to switch monitor to Quad Mode.
Alternate presses will switch between the three
different Quad Layouts. (See Quad Mode – Page
7).
DVI-I Button
Selects DVI-I input as the video source for Ch.4
(This replaces HDSDI-SDI input #4 when in Quad
Mode). When activated, the LED will light.
User-Definable Function Buttons
Two user-definable function buttons can be used for
direct access to various settings. Functions are
assigned using the on-screen menu (See User-
Definable Function Buttons – Page 15).
RotoMenu™ Knob
The RotoMenu™ knob is alternate means of
accessing and navigating the main menu, using only
a single control.
Image Adjustment Knobs
Use the image adjustment knobs to adjust color
saturation, brightness and contrast of the image.
The status of each image adjustment parameter is
shown on the bottom left of the screen, with values
ranging from 0 to 100. Pressing a knob once
displays the current value. Pressing a knob twice
resets the corresponding adjustment to the default
setting. (See page 16 for instructions to change
default settings).

Rear Panel Features
RS-422/485 Serial Interface
The RS-422/485 ports are used to remotely control
the IMD or all QV171-HDSDI features, using a
variety of industry standard protocols. (Note:
Connector/pin-out may need to be adapted
depending on protocol and controlling device
used. See pin-out details on page 26.) Only one
connection to either port is needed to control the
monitor. The second port can be used to loop
multiple monitors in the same bus.
PG-1 Connector
This is for factory use only. Please do not use.
Tally Interface (HD-15)
The OSD tally can be activated via the HD-15
connector by connecting the corresponding pin to
ground. A variety of external devices can be used to
perform the contact closure. No additional power
should be supplied to the HD-15 port. See pin-out
details on page 26.
HD-SDI Inputs and Outputs
The QV171-HDSDI has four HD-SDI inputs and four
active loop-through outputs.
Power Input
Connect the 12VDC input to the 2-Pin twist lock
power input connector. Power can be supplied from
the included power supply, or from a variety of DC
sources supplying at least 3.0 Amps at 12 Volts.
IMPORTANT: If using a power source other than the
included power supply, be sure that the polarity of
the DC input is correct:
VESA 75mm Hole Pattern
VESA-standard 75 mm hole-pattern is provided to
accommodate a variety of custom mounting options.
Desktop Mounting Holes
These holes are used when attaching the monitor to
the optional desktop stand.
See page 4 for details.
