Product Overview
The V-LCD70XP-HDMI is a 7.0” high-definition widescreen LCD monitor featuring our completely digital TFT-MegaPixel
active matrix LCD platform. With built-in focus assist and false color filters, this monitor is ideal as a light-weight high
resolution viewfinder or focus-assist monitor. Our proprietary digital signal processing features 10-bit A/D conversion of all
analog signals, with 4X over-sampling and 5-line super-adaptive 2D comb filtering of composite signals. De-interlacing is
performed using our HyperProcess algorithm with motion adaptive interpolation. Multi-format compatibility accommodates
virtually all video formats including NTSC/PAL, 480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p. The HDMI input also accepts VESA standards
allowing the display to be used as a computer monitor. Adjustable color temperature enables the most precise color
representation possible. Advanced features include aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, underscan mode,
blue-only mode, monochrome mode, H/V delay, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, and HDMI Input Format selection.
Features
■
High-Resolution 7.0” Widescreen Panel
The V-LCD70XP-HDMI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system with 1.2 million pixels. The
LCD panel features a brightness of 450 cd/m
environments and lighting conditions.

x 768).
■
End-to-End Digital Signal Processing
Analog input signals are digitized using an advanced 10-bit process with 4x over-sampling, 5-line super-adaptive 2D
comb filtering, and exacting color space conversion. Video is scaled to fit on the screen in the highest possible
resolution using a state-of-the-art LSI that incorporates precision gamma correction and our HyperProcess motion
adaptive interpolation for interlaced images.
■
ColorMatch Conversion with Color Temperature Adjustment
Emulation of SMPTE-C/EBU color space allows the V-LCD70XP-HDMI to replace any broadcast CRT monitor. Presets
include D55, D65 and D93. Bias and Gain adjustment for each color enables precise color matching and white
balance.
■
Focus-Assist, False Color Filter, and other Advanced Features
Focus-Assist, False Color filter, Aspect ratio settings, underscan mode, blue-only mode, monochrome mode, and H/V
delay are a few of the advanced features which make the V-LCD70XP-HDMI at home in any broadcast environment.
The HDMI Input allows display of incoming video in either RGB or YCbCr color space. Pixel-to-Pixel mode also allows
native display of any incoming image format.
■
Adjustable Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full screen modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect ratios
used in broadcast environments. User Markers allow for custom aspect ratio, cropping framing, etc.
■
Image Flip
Vertical image flip allows for flexibility in mounting the monitor in many positions.
■
User-Definable Function Buttons
Four user-definable function buttons on the front-panel allow quick access to numerous settings and features including
focus-assist, false color filter, aspect ratio, screen markers, monochrome mode, color temperature, delay mode, and
more.

side and top for optional threaded inserts. Contact your dealer, or visit www.lcdracks.com
■
Changing the Battery Adapter
The V-LCD70XP-HDMI ships with a single battery adapter, specified at the time of ordering. Several other battery
adapters are available to accommodate a variety of batteries.
Many different user-interchangeable “camcorder battery” adapters are available: Canon, Panasonic, JVC,
Sony BP, Sony NP-Q, and Sony NP-F.
Installation: To uninstall one of the above battery adapters, remove the 5 screws on the adapter. Remove
the adapter and carefully disconnect the 4-pin connector between the monitor and adapter. To install one
of the above battery adapters, connect the 4-pin connector of the new battery adapter to the monitor, and
re-install the 5 screws.
Note: Do not change the pinout of the 4-pin connector on the battery adapter. This pinout is factoryconfigured according to each battery adapter.
IDX and Anton Bauer battery adapters are also available. Installation can easily be performed in the field.
Contact Marshall Electronics Customer Service at (800) 800-6608 for further information.

Connections and Power-On
Plug the V-PS12-5V-XLR power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the 4-pin female
XLR connector to the back of the monitor. Please note that 12VDC can be also supplied directly to the monitor from a
variety of sources. The monitor will draw no more than 1.0 Amps at 12 Volts in operation (12 Watts).
Connect the required cables for video signal input and output. (Power must be applied to the V-LCD70XP-HDMI for the
active loop-through outputs to be activated.) All BNC connectors are rated at 75Ω.
The unit defaults to ‘ON’ when power is supplied. Video will automatically be detected and displayed on the screen.

uses the battery adapter, the lower switch position
uses the XLR input, and the center position is OFF.
Battery life can be preserved by setting this switch to
the OFF position when the monitor is not in use.
Service Connector
This connector is for factory and future use.
