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 fingerp rint
resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the scree n to avoid damaging the LCD.

■ Faceplate Dusting

Dust the unit with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Dry or abrasive cloths may cause e lectrostatic charge on the surface, attracting
dust particles. Neutralize static electricity effects by using the recommended cleaning and polishing practice.

superimposed on the lower portion of the image. The audio presence indicator and o n-screenta lly 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 aud io
presence indicator to be displayed below or around the image. Time code is superimpo sed 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 p resenceind icator 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 mod e, all OSD features are
superimposed on the image. Note that when using a 16:9 input image in th ism ode, the image will be vertically

stretched by approximately 10%.

Framelock is used to designate the selected input as a reference for synchronizing image scaling when using the DLW
monitor. This allows the monito r to use a known-stable input source as a reference-lock to the entire system. In some
conditions, turning OFF the framelock mode will reduce the time needed for image lock.

Overview

The V-R185-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 industr y-standard protocols, including TSL
v4.0 and Image Video. Multiple V-R185-DLW monitors can be looped together and each addressed individually via the
protocol. All menu features of the V-R185-DLW can also be controlled via the Marshall N etwork Controller box using MEI
protocol. (Contact Marshall Electronics for additional information).

Use the IMD Configuration submenu to configure various IMD parameters as described b elow.

■

IMD ID #

The IMD ID # identifies each screen to the controlling device. When using the TSL prot ocol, the ID # of each screen should be
manually set in conjunction with the controlling device. When using the Image Video prot ocol, 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. Availab le Group #s are 01-254.

■

IMD Protocol

Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the V-R185-DLW r eceives remote commands.
Currently, four protocols are available. Contact Marshall Electronics for the latest proto col compatibility.
