Marshall Electronics
V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT
SD/HD SunBrite LCD Monitor
Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (Marshall 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
Marshall Electronics warranties to the first consumer that this V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT 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, Marshall Electronics 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. Marshall Electronics 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 Marshall Electronics, 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-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT is a 15” SD/HD video LCD with Marshall Electronics’ proprietary SunBrite LCD panel,
designed specifically for outdoor applications or high levels of ambient light. The V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT features our
completely digital TFT-MegaPixel™ active matrix LCD system. Weighing only 8.1 lbs and only 1.77” deep, this monitor is
an ideal lightweight replacement for CRTs used in all broadcast and professional video applications. Emulation of
SMPTE-C/EBU color and adjustable color temperature enable the most precise color representation possible. Our
proprietary digital signal processing features 10-bit A/D conversion of all analog signals, with 4X over-sampling and 5-line
super-adaptive 2D comb filtering of composite signals. De-interlacing is performed using our HyperProcess™ algorithm
with motion adaptive interpolation. The V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT features multi-format compatibility, accommodating
virtually all video formats including NTSC/PAL, 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p formats. VGA and DVI inputs accept VESA
standards allowing the display to be used as a computer monitor. Advanced features include aspect ratio settings, a
variety of screen markers, underscan mode, blue-only mode, monochrome mode, H/V delay, and Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode.
Features
■
High-Resolution 15” SunBrite Panel
The V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT features Marshall Electronics’ new SunBrite LCD panel, dramatically boosting the
efficiency of the backlight’s light utilization and minimizing the surface reflection of ambient light. The transmissive LCD
produces high-contrast images, even in challenging outdoor lighting conditions. This technology features a much wider
color reproduction range than typical transflective/reflective LCDs with increased backlight performance. The LCD
panel features a brightness of 600 cd/m2, 600:1 contrast ratio, and 160° horizontal and 140° vertical viewing angles.
■
Multi-Format Compatibility
With a variety of analog and digital inputs, the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT accommodates virtually all video formats. Input
types include Composite Video, S-Video, YPbPr, SDI, VGA, and DVI with HDCP. Accepted formats include
NTSC/PAL, 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, 1035i, and 1080i/p standards, as well as VESA PC formats through SXGA (1280 x
1024).
■
End-to-End Digital Signal Processing
Analog signals are digitized using an advanced 10-bit process with 4x over-sampling, 5-line super-adaptive 2D comb
filtering, and exacting color space conversion. Video is scaled to fit on the screen in the highest possible resolution
using a state-of-the-art LSI that incorporates precision gamma correction and our HyperProcess™ motion adaptive
interpolation for interlaced images.
■
ColorMatch™ Conversion with Color Temperature Adjustment
Emulation of SMPTE-C/EBU color space allows the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT to replace any broadcast CRT monitor.
Settings include D55, D65 and D95. Bias and Gain adjustment for each color enables precise color matching and white
balance.
■
Advanced Features
Aspect ratio settings, underscan mode, blue-only mode, monochrome mode, and H/V delay are a few of the advanced
features making the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT 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 on the front-panel allow quick access to numerous settings and features including
aspect ratio, screen markers, monochrome mode, color temperature, delay mode, and more.
