Product Overview

The V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD is a 15” SD/HD video LCD monitor, featuring our completely digital TFT-MegaPixel™ active
matrix LCD system. Occupying only 6 RU 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 10­bit 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. Both the V­R151DP-AFSD and V-R151DP-AFHD feature 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. The V-R151DP-AFHD adds HDSDI functionality, accepting 720p and 1080i/p formats.
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” Panel

The V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel™ active matrix LCD system with 2.4 million pixels.
The LCD panel features a brightness of 500 cd/m2, 450:1 contrast ratio, and a 150° all-around viewing angle making
the display ideal in a variety of environments and lighting conditions.

■

Multi-Format Compatibility

With a variety of analog and digital inputs, the V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD 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). (HDSDI formats are available only on the V-R151DP-AFHD).

■

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-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD 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-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD 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-Assigned Function Buttons

Two user-assignable 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.

Installation and Initial Setup

■

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD monitor and verify that the following items are included:

• V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD Monitor with Attached Rack Ears

• V-PS12-5V-1 Power Supply with Conxall 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 [phone]. If you are not located within the continental United States,
call [phone].

■

Installation

The V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD monitor is shipped with pre-installed removable rack ears, allowing the monitor to be
installed in an EIA standard 19-inch rack (occupying 6 RU). When installed in a rack, the unit can be rotated up to 360°
to achieve the desired viewing angle.

Alternately, the V-R151DP-AFSD/AFHD can be configured as a desktop monitor with an optional table top stand
(Marshall Part No. VP-0149-SF-A).

A VESA standard 75mm hole pattern also allows custom mounting installations.

■

Connections and Power-On

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. Please note that 12-17VDC can be also supplied directly to the monitor from a
variety of sources. The monitor will draw approximately 3 Amps at 12 Volts in operation.

Connect the required cables for video signal input and output. (Power must be applied to the V-R151DP- AFSD/AFHD
for the active loop-though outputs to be activated.) All BNC connectors are rated at 75Ω.

Turn on the unit by pressing the power button located on the front panel. Select a video input by pressing the
corresponding input select button.
