1. Introduction
The OR-185-3GSDI High Resolution Monitor is an 18.5” Master confidence monitor for broadcast control rooms, transfer
facilities, and other production c ontr ol and ed iting ar e as, T he O R-185-3G S DI i nclud es a wide vari et y of product i on tools us ed by
video professionals including real-time Waveform, Vectorscope, Histogram, Audio Level Meters, Audio Phase Monitor and Audio
Peak Alarm, along with 3D monitoring and analysis functions.
The OR-185-3GSDI uses a 1920 x 1080 Full HD panel t hat can display h igh-qualit y images from any source or aspect ratio. All
OR-185-3GSDI screens are color mat ched at the factory and can be auto-adjusted in the field using an optional color probe
system (Konica Minolta CA-310 Color Analyzer).
The OR-185-3GSDI includes t wo auto-sensing 3G-SDI inputs, along with DVI-I, VGA, and ana log inputs. This unit can be used
as a portable stand-alone monitor equipped with f ront panel ster eo speaker s, integr ated carr ying hand le, and desk top stand. An

3. Features
High Resolution 18.5” Panel
The OR-185-3GSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features a brightness of 300
cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1 making each display ideal in a variety of environments and lighting conditions.
Waveform Monitor Function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect
ratios, positions, and transpar ency options. The W aveform Monitor not on ly displays luminance, but can also warn the user for
out-of-range conditions such as ov erexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with user-adjustable warning limits.
Real-Time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed
in various sizes, positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain from 1x to 5x.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operat es with both the Waveform display and Monoc hrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and
lower ClipGuide levels are adj ustable to accurately display over-and-under exposures du ring different shooting c onditions. For
example, the upper ClipGuide limit ma y be set to 85 IRE and lo wer limit to 10 IRE. W ith thes e settin gs, an y exposures over th e
set limit of 85 IRE will display red on both the Wav eform and picture (if selected). Same is true for black s under 10 IRE.
Chroma Monitor Function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors which can occur in color space conversion. Any
data exceeding these values will be displayed as yellow in the picture. The factory presets limits are 16 and 240 according to ITUR BT.709. During normal video prod uction, these values should not be exceeded.
Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio using sixteen 64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with user-adjustable
reference levels. The Audio Level Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom levels, as well as peak hold function. Audio
Channel Loss Warning prevents errors during monitoring.
Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essent ial in orde r to render colors correctly. T o display color s correc tly, gra y scale sh ould maint ain
identical color temperature. The white balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65 (6500K) so the user does not need to adjust
white balance. LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white balance can be affected by a change in luminance level.
This unique color management system solves this problem. The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic White Balance
function that allows a “One Button” calibration procedure when used with a Minolta CA-310 color probe. All ORCHID Series LCD
panels are calibrated at the factory to ensure color conformity between screens.
Select Color Temperature and Gamma Mode
Color temperature presets range between D65 and D93. User defined settings can be used as well. Gamma settings are
adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 in 0.1 increments. The standard setting is 2.2.
Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full sc reen modes allow accurate monit oring of the different aspect ratios used in
broadcast environments.
User-Definable Function Buttons
Nine User-Definable Function But tons and one R otary Encoder on the fr ont panel all ow quick ac cess to num erous set tings and
features including Input 1, Input 2, Option Input, Waveform, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Aspect Ratio, Screen Markers,
Monochrome Mode, H/V Delay Mode, and more.
Audio Jack
Three 3.5mm AUDIO jacks are included. It is possible to utilize both the front panel headphone connector and rear panel speaker
connector simultaneously with individual volume cont rols. When menu mode is not used, the rotary encoder on th e front panel
may control the headphone and internal speaker volume.
Carefully unpack the OR-185-3GSDI and verify that the following items are present:
• OR-185-3GSDI with attached stand
• AC Power cord
Mounting
The OR-185-3GSDI is designed to be a tabletop production monitor. Attached stand and tilt handle are included.
