Product Overview

The V-R231-IMD-HDSDI is a full resolution 23” 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. 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-R231-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-R231-IMD-HDSDI is a perfect solution for video applications and systems.

The V-R231-IMD-HDSDI offers a single HDSDI/SDI input with active loop-through capability. Additional features include ultra-wide viewing angles, adjustment settings memory, frame markers, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, Blue Only mode, and userdefinable function buttons. The V-R231-IMD-HDSDI can also be used as a standalone display with HD-SDI loop-through.
