Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays images in their native resolution and aspect ratio,
with a one-to-one mapping of incoming image pixels to screen pixels:
•For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the window (or selected aspect ratio), the image will be
displayed in the center of the window using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 480i images will only occupy
exactly 640x480 pixels in a particular channel window in DLW mode, or if the channel is selected full screen, it will
occupy exactly 640x480 pixels in the center of the screen. The surrounding screen area will be black.
■
Aspect Ratio Settings
Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings.
As the V-R173-DLW monitor has a native resolution of 1366x768 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically scaled to fit
the screen:
•In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen. IMD text and time code are
superimposed on the lower portion of the image. The audio presence indicator and on-screen tally are displayed at the
bottom of the screen, outside the image.
•In Scaled 4:3 mode, images are scaled to a smaller 4:3 portion of the screen, leaving space for IMD text, tally, and audio
presence indicator to be displayed below or around the image. Time code is superimposed on the lower portion of the
image.
•In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen. In this mode, IMD text and
on-screen tally are displayed below the image. Time code and the audio presence indicator are superimposed on the
lower portion of the image.
•In Full Screen (16:10) mode, images are scaled to fill the entire 16:10 screen. In this mode, all OSD features are
superimposed on the image. Note that when using a 16:9 input image in this mode, the image will be vertically
stretched by approximately 10%.
The diagrams on the following show how IMD text, timecode, and the audio monitor icon are simultaneously displayed on
the screen in each aspect ratio setting. The white area represents the video image.

Overview
The V-R173-DLW features an In-Monitor Display (IMD) with the ability to display on-screen text and tally in three colors. IMD
text, color, and alignment can be assigned to each screen locally using menu options (see below). Alternately, IMD text and
tally can be remotely controlled via the RS-422/485 serial interface using several industry-standard protocols, including TSL
v4.0 and Image Video. Multiple V-R173-DLW monitors can be looped together and each addressed individually via the
protocol. All menu features of the V-R173-DLW can also be controlled via the Marshall Network Controller box using MEI
protocol. (Contact Marshall Electronics for additional information).
Use the IMD Configuration submenu to configure various IMD parameters as described below.
IMD Configuration Submenu
■
IMD ID #
The IMD ID # identifies each screen to the controlling device. When using the TSL protocol, the ID # of each screen should be
manually set in conjunction with the controlling device. When using the Image Video protocol, the ID # may be set
automatically by the controlling device, after each IMD is initially identified by IMD Name (see “IMD Name[S/N]” below).
Available ID #s are 000-254.
■
IMD Group #
Each screen can be assigned an IMD Group # when using the Marshall protocol. Available Group #s are 01-254.
■
IMD Protocol
Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the V-R173-DLW receives remote commands.
Currently, four protocols are available. Contact Marshall Electronics for the latest protocol compatibility.
Image Video
Use the Image Video protocol setting when controlling the IMD from an Image Video tally controller (e.g. TSI-1000) or
other controlling device which utilizes the Image Video protocol. The IMD #, IMD Name(S/N), and Baud Rate
parameters must be set for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.
22
TSL v4.0
Use the TSL v4.0 protocol setting when controlling the IMD from a TSL tally controller, or other controlling device which
utilizes the TSL v4.0 protocol. The IMD # must be set for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.
MEI
Use the MEI protocol setting when controlling the V-R173-DLW using the Marshall Network Controller box. This
protocol allows remote control of all features on the V-R173-DLW, including marker setup, video configuration, system
configuration, and image adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.). The IMD #, IMD Group #, and Baud Rate parameters
must be set in conjunction with the Network Controller Box.
MEI-Image Video
This protocol setting accepts Image Video commands via MEI protocol, for use when an Image Video controller is
connected to the Marshall Network Controller box.
■
Tally Source
The V-R173-DLW OSD tally can be controlled in a variety of different ways. Use the Tally Source setting to choose how tally is
controlled:
Standard
Use the Standard setting to control tally via contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface.
Image Video HW
Use the Image Video HW setting to control Image Video tally states via contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface.
Contact closure of the Red pin corresponds to Image Video Tally 1, and the Green pin maps to Image Video Tally 2.
Contact closure (ground) corresponds to a LOW state, and open circuit corresponds to a HIGH state. This mode requires
the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.
Image Video 422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol. OSD tally will be
disabled in this mode, as Image Video tally states are manifested in the text color and other parameters. This mode
requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.
Standard + IV422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol, while controlling
OSD tally using contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be
set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.
TSL/MEI 422
Use the TSL/MEI 422 setting to control OSD tally via the TSL or Marshall serial protocols.
■
IMD Baud Rate
Use this setting to choose the baud rate. The baud rate must be set in conjunction with the controlling device. Available baud
rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. The TSL v4.0 protocol is fixed at 38400 bauds.
■
IMD Name (S/N)
Use this setting to assign a name to each screen when using the Image Video or Marshall-IV protocols. The IMD name is
equivalent to the Image Video serial number and is used by the Image Video controlling device to identify each screen. The
default IMD Name(S/N) is “M00000.” It is recommended to maintain this naming scheme in order to avoid serial number
conflicts with other Image Video devices on the same serial bus. Each name can be up to 16 ASCII characters.
Press RotoMenu™ knob to edit the IMD Name. Rotate the RotoMenu™ knob to move the cursor. Press the RotoMenu™ knob
with the cursor on the character to be changed, then rotate the knob to scroll through the character set . Press the

CC Timeout
Set the amount of time to wait before erasing CC data. It is normal to have CC data remain on the screen after the video feed
has stopped transmitting new CC data. This function gives you the option to set a desired time period to wait before erasing
the last remaining CC characters off of the screen if new characters have not taken its place.
Wave/Vector Submenu
Use the Wave/Vector submenu to change the location of the Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope, as well as the data
displayed on the Waveform monitor or the Vectorscope on the V-R173-DLW monitor. The Waveform Monitor can also be
customized to conform to different scales, to display different colors, differentiate data with Limits. The Vectorscope targets
can also be changed in this menu.

Waveform Mode
This option allows you to choose between different layouts for the Waveform monitor. Available options are YUV Parade,
YUV Overlay, RGB Parade and RGB Overlay.
• YUV Parade The Y (Luminance, shown in white), U and V (Chrominance components, U is showed in cyan and V is shown in
Magenta) components of the signal are displayed from left to right.
• YUV OverlayThe YUV components of the signal are overlaid.
• RGB ParadeThe R (shown in Red), G (shown in Green) and B (shown in Blue) components of the signal are displayed from
left to right.
26
• RGB OverlayThe RGB components of the signal are overlaid.
■
Waveform Scale
Use the Waveform scale option to switch between different graticule units on the Waveform display. Available options are
mV, %IRE, Auto and Off.
■
Colorize Waveform
Use the Colorize Waveform option to add or remove color from the Waveform display. When Colorize Waveform is ON, the
YUV and RGB data components on the Waveform display will appear in different colors. When Colorize Waveform is OFF, all
YUV and RGB data components will appear as white on the Waveform display.
■
Limits
Use the Limits option to differentiate data (indicated by a red highlight) on the Waveform display that goes above a Limit Max
(maximum) and goes below a Limit Min (minimum) set in the Wave/Vector submenu. The Limit maximum and minimum can
be set from 0000 to 1023. Note: Setting the Limits option to ON will override the Colorize Waveform option. All Waveform
display data within the limits will appear in white.
■
Limit Max
Use this to set the desired maximum for the Limit display of the waveform monitor. Any Waveform data that goes beyond
this Limit Max will be displayed in red.
■
Limit Min
Use this to set the desired minimum for the Limit display of the waveform monitor. Any Waveform data that goes below this
Limit Max will be displayed in red.

■
Vectorscope Targets
Use the Vectorscope Targets option to set your Vectorscope targets up for 75% or 100% color bar signals. You can also set
your Vectorscope Targets to the OFF position.
■
Overlay Position
Use the Overlay Position option to place the Waveform, Vectorscope and Audio Level display on the Top or Bottom of the
screen while in the DLW Overlay display mode. You can also set your Overlay display to OFF.
■
Overlay Transparency
Use the Overlay Transparency option to set the transparency of the Waveform, Vectorscope and Audio Level display while in
DLW Overlay mode. Choose a value from 000-100. A low value will cause the Waveform, Vectorscope and Audio Level data
to blend into the background, while a high value will make the data appear more visible against the video display in the
background.
Ancillary Submenu
Use the Ancillary submenu to determine which ancillary packet IDs should be counted in the Ancillary Status portion of the
DLW monitor display.
■
DID/SDID
Use this section to select which packet IDs should be counted on the DLW monitor display. For example, 0x6060 would count
the Timecode data packets, 0x6101 would count the EIA-708 CC data packets and 0x6102 would count the EIA-608 CC data
packets. Any ancillary packet ID can be chosen, from 0000 to FFFF.

Maintenance
■Screen Cleaning
Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (Marshall Part No. V-HWP-K). A clean micro-fiber cloth
can also be used using only non-abrasive and ammonia-free cleaning agents. Do not use paper towels. Paper towel fibers are
coarse and may scratch the surface of the polycarbonate faceplate or leave streaks on the surface. Antistatic and fingerprint
resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the screen to avoid damaging the LCD.
■Faceplate Dusting
Dust the unit with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Dry or abrasive cloths may cause electrostatic charge on the surface, attracting
dust particles. Neutralize static electricity effects by using the recommended cleaning and polishing practice.
