Product Overview

The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI is a full resolution 17” LCD monitor with an HD-SDI input and In-Monitor Display functionality – a cost-effective "all-in-one" solution for post-production houses, broadcasters, and mobile units. This fully integrated approach eliminates the need for additional or separate Under Monitor Displays and allows UMD information and tallies to be displayed directly within a Marshall flat panel monitor, while saving precious rack space. A variety of features are readily available including on-screen Video Time Code, three-color "Soft" Tallies, Audio Presence Indicator, and a new RotoMenu™ feature that allows fast, direct, and easy menu navigation.

The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI integrates easily with existing Tally systems and controllers, including Image Video, TSL, and MEI protocols. This low profile unit benefits from low weight and power consumption when compared to similar CRT products and separate Under Monitor Display configurations. The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI is a perfect solution for video applications and systems.

The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI offers a single HDSDI/SDI input with active loop-through capability. Additional features include color temperature adjustment, adjustment settings memory, frame markers, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, Blue Only mode, and user-definable function buttons. The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI can also be used as a standalone display with HD-SDI loopthrough.

■

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 allow quick access to numerous settings and features including aspect ratio, screen markers, monochrome mode, color temperature, and more.

Installation and Initial Setup

■

Unpacking

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

• V-R171X-IMD-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 V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI can be mounted in any standard EIA 19” equipment rack. The attached 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 V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI can be used in a desktop configuration with optional stand (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 signal input and output. (Power must be applied to the V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI for the active loop-though output to be activated.) The monitor defaults to ‘ON’ when power is supplied. Video will automatically be detected and displayed on the screen.

For IMD setup details, see IMD Configuration Submenu on page 22.

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). LED Tally

Three LED tally lights (yellow, red, green) are available above the screen. Each tally light can be controlled from a variety of sources (See Tally Source – Page 24).

Rear Panel Features

HD-SDI Input and Output

The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI has one HD-SDI input and one active loop-through output.

RS-422/485 Serial Interface

The RS-422/485 ports are used to remotely control the IMD or all V-R171X-IMD-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.

Desktop Mounting Holes

These holes are used when attaching the monitor to the optional desktop stand. See page 4 for details.

Tally Interface (HD-15)

Both LED tally and 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 HD15 port. See pin-out details on page 26.

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:
