Features

The DLW (Dual Link / Waveform) Series is the latest addition to Marshall's expanding line of IMD-equipped monitors.

■

1920 x 1200 Full Resolution 17” Panel

The V-R171X-DLW features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system with 1920x1200 native resolution.
The LCD panel features a brightness of 500 cd/m2 and a 800:1 contrast ratio making it ideal in a variety of
environments and lighting conditions.

■

Multi mode, Vectorscope and Waveform Monitor mode

The DLW monitor series includes a real-time Waveform monitor and Vectorscope along with support for SDI, HD-SDI,
3G-SDI and Dual Link SDI. With the monitor in Multi mode, the monitor will break into four quadrants and display
Signal Input information (Link Status), Embedded Audio levels, a Waveform monitor, a Vectorscope and live video
simultaneously. Additional layouts provide the ability to view the Waveform monitor, Vectorscope, SDI Link status and
Video individually.

■

Closed Captioning Decoding

The DLW monitor allows for decoding of Closed Captioning in the EIA-608 or EIA-708.

■

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 (On Screen Display)

Embedded time code and an embedded audio presence indicator can be displayed on the screen in a variety of
configurations. Closed Caption presence indication is also provided for 608/708 captions.

■

Advanced Features

Color temperature adjustment, aspect ratio settings, blue-only mode, and monochrome mode are a few of the
advanced features allowing the V-R171X-DLW to be at home in any broadcast environment. Pixel-to-Pixel mode also
allows native display of any incoming image format.

■

Four User-Definable Function Buttons

Four user-definable function buttons allow quick access to numerous settings and features including aspect ratio,
monochrome mode, color temperature, and more.

Installation and Initial Setup

■

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the V-R171X-DLW monitor and verify that the following items are included:

• V-R171X-DLW Monitor

• V-PS12-5V-1 Power Supply with 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-R171X-DLW can be combined with a desktop stand for desktop use. (Marshall Part V-ST15).

VESA standard 75mm hole patterns allows custom mounting installations. Marshall Electronics can provide an
optional VESA stand with pivot and tilt as well. (Marshall Part VP-LCD171H-ST-01).

(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 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 V-R171X-DLW for the active loop-though output to be activated.) The monitor defaults to ‘ON’ when
power is supplied.

Front Panel Features

Power Button

Turn the monitor off or on by pressing the power
button. The LED on the power button is at
maximum illumination when the unit is OFF. The
LED is at minimum illumination when the unit is on.

Input Channel Buttons

Pressing SDI 1 or SDI 2 will select HDSDI-SDI Video
Inputs 1 or 2, respectively. When a channel is
activated, the LED on the channel will illuminate.
When displaying Dual Link formats, both LEDs will
illuminate simultaneously.

DVI Button

Pressing the DVI button selects the DVI-I input.
When activated, the LED will light.

User-Definable Function Buttons

Four user-definable function buttons can be used for
direct access to various settings. Functions are
assigned using the on-screen menu.

Layout Button

Use this button to switch between the four available
layouts on the V-R171X-DLW.

RotoMenu™ Knob

The RotoMenu™ knob allows for 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 top 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.

Rear Panel Features

RS-422/485 Serial Interface

The RS-422/485 ports are used to remotely control
the IMD or all V-R171X-DLW features, using a variety
of industry standard protocols. (Note:

Connector/pin-out may need to be adapted
depending on protocol and controlling device
used.) 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.

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 ot the HD-15 port.

3G-SDI Inputs and Outputs

The V-R171X-DLW has two 3G-SDI inputs and two
active loop-through outputs. SDI 1 and SDI 2 can
be used simultaneously to display Dual Link SDI
signals.

Power Input
Connect the 12 VDC input to the Twist-Lock power
input connector. Power can be supplied from the
included power supply or from a variety of DC
sources supplying at least 5.0 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:
Pin 1: +12 VDC
Pin 2: GND

VESA 75mm and 200 mm Hole Pattern

VESA-standard 75 mm hole-patterns are provided to
accommodate a variety of custom mounting options.

DVI-I Input Connector

Integrated DVI Digital and Analog VGA input.
Includes EDID and HDCP for connection to
Computers, DVD Players, Rasterizers, etc.
