REMOTE SUBMENU
■ Pin 1 through Pin 8:
The RJ-45 Remote connector on the rear panel has 8
pins. Pin 5 is Ground, while the remaining 7 pins are
pulled high to 3.3VDC and may be used for Tally or
other Remote Commands. A list of available Commands
and Tally configurations can be found in the REMOTE
section of the Menu Overview section of this manual.
The command or Tally is activated by connecting the
corresponding Pin (1-4 and 6-8) to Pin 5 (Ground).
Event Triggers:
Two types of events are allowed.
The falling event is when you pull down to ground, and the rising event is when you remove the
ground and the pin returns to the normal high state.
Falling events occur only once and on the event of power up sequence.
o This means a falling event will occur only once regardless of whether its pin is
repeatedly grounded such as when selecting an input source.
The rising event can only occur once a pin has been pulled down to ground to activate the
command such as turning on a tally and then releasing ground (open circuit) to turn off.
Priority
o The Lower pin numbers have higher priorities over higher pin numbers during the power
up sequence.
Tally System
The Tally System can be used in a non-separated mode and separated mode.
Non-Separated Mode

o Cannot be assigned with separated tallies.
Left/Right Separated Mode
o Supports R/G/B tallies on each Left and Right.
o Can mix any channels for each Left and Right.
o Cannot mix R/G/B for White (It will be pink due to white balance).
o Cannot be assigned with non-separated tallies.
Optional Accessories for OR-901-XDI
SDI STATUS SUBMENU
The SDI submenu shows the SDI Error Count,
allows you to Reset the counter and sets up
how you would like to display the SDI Error
counter. The Choices are OFF – ON – AUTO.
The SDI Error Counter will count the following
types of errors.
• Line-based CRC error
• Line number error
• TRS error
• EDH CRC error
• ANC data checksum error
An error count of more than 1 could be considered as abnormal. There is no particular scale to the
number of errors counted. The max number of errors displayed is 9999. For example assume that there
is a problem with a source and it is outputting a SDI signal with invalid CRC for each line. The Orchid
Error counter will result in a count of 9999 within 9 frames (150ms). However, if the source is not bad
and the Error counter occasionally counts up these are mostly caused by poor connections or bad SDI
cables.

ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform
display and Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper
and lower ClipGuide levels are user-adjustable in order to
accurately display over-and-under exposures during different
shooting conditions. For example, the upper ClipGuide limit
may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With these
settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display
red on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same
will be true for blacks under 10 IRE.
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 essential in order to render
colors correctly. To display colors correctly, gray scale should
maintain 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. Our
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-210 color probe. All
Orchid Series LCD panels are calibrated at the factory to
ensure color conformity between screens.

AUDIO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU
■ Front Volume
Adjusts Headphone and speaker volume on the front
panel. This value is adjustable from 0 to 40. Setting to 0
will Mute the output.
■ Headroom Start
Adjusts the point at which the level meters will change
color from Green to Yellow. This is normally the level
used for alignment. For digital audio in the US, the
SMPTE standard is -20dBFS = 0VU = +4dBu.
The European EBU standard is -18dBFS = 0VU. Other
Alignment standards can be set using this menu.
■ Headroom End
Adjusts the point at which the level meters will change color from Yellow to Red. There is no official
standard to where this point should occur. This is an arbitrary setting to give visual warning that the
program level is peaking near the 0dBFS point at which there are no more bits and clipping will occur.
■ Left Channel / Right Channel
These menus are used to designate which one of the available 16 audio channels will be assigned to
either the Left, Right, or both outputs for listening. For example, the user can choose to send CH 1 to
the left output and CH 2 to the Right output, or the user can assign CH 1 to both Left and Right for a
mono feed.
■ Load CH Preset From >
Use this menu to recall one of the 8 possible memory locations where the user previously stored
channel output assignments. Use of this Load command will override the current channel output
assignments.
■ Save CH Preset To >
Use this menu to select which one of 8 memory locations where the user wants to store the current
channel output assignments.
■ CH Preset
Use this menu to Lock or Unlock the ability to save to the Ch Preset memory locations. This helps to
prevent accidental overwriting of stored presets. When Locked, Ch Presets may still be recalled.
AUDIO UTILITY SUBMENU
The Audio Utility Submenu contains a subset of
control submenus for the various audio monitoring
tools available.

the screen. The purpose is to allow color matching to other types of monitors and/or displays.
NOTE: The Color Temperature preset will automatically switch to CUSTOM when Color Bias or
Gain settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle. When
selecting the RGB Bias and Gain submenus, changes to Gain and Bias will be seen in real time.
Once the proper level is achieved, the user must save this setting by pressing the Menu Rotary
Encoder. If the user leaves the setting menu before saving, the value will return to the original
