26

■ IMD Protocol

Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the V-R241-IMD -3G receives remote commands. Currently,
four protocols are available. Contact Marshall Electronics for the latest protocol compatib ility.

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), a nd Baud Rate parameters must be set
for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.

TSL v4.0

Use the TSL v4.0 protocol setting when controlling the IMD from a TSL tally contro ller, or other controlling device which utilizes
the TSL v4.0 protocol. The IMD # must be set for each screen in conjunct ion with the controlling device.

MEI

Use the MEI protocol setting when controlling the V-R241-IMD-3G using the Marshall N etwork Controller box. This protocol
allows remote control of all features on the V-R241-IMD-3G, including marker setup, video con figuration, 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.

■ IMD ID #

■ 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 n ativere solution 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 screen (or selected aspect ratio), th eimage will be
displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 720p images will occupy exactly 1280x720
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-R241-IMD-3G monitor has a native resolution of 1366x768 RGB pixels, in coming images are automatically scaled to fit
the screen:

• In 4:3 mode, image sa re 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 superimpo sed on the lower portion of the image.

• In Scaled16:9 mode, ima ges are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen. In th ismod e, IMD text
and on-screen tally are displayed below the image. Time code and the aud io presence indicator are superimposed on the lower
portion of the image.

• In 16:9 mode, image sa re scaled to fill the entire 16:9 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 verticall y stretched by approximately 10%.

The diagrams on the following page 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.

■ Curtain Color

Use this setting to choose the default color displayed on the screen when no video input is present. Available colors are blue,
red, green, white, and black.

■ Sharpness

Sharpness is a type of edge enhancement that can be applied to incoming video signals. Use this setting to increase or decrease
the amount of enhancement applied to the image. A value of 000 will make edges appear soft, and a value of 006 will cause
edges to be enhanced. The d efault value is 003. Note: Values higher than 003 will sometimes cause artifacts to ap pear on the
screen if the image includes many natural edges.

Use the Film Mode setting to limit the film mode detection to a specific cadence.

• Auto Deinterlacer automatically identifies the film cadence

• 2:2 only Deinterlacer only recognizes content originating in 25fps, and uses 2:2 film mode. 24fps conten t is
ignored.

• 3:2 only Deinterlacer only recognizes content originating in 24fps, and uses 3:2 film mode. 25fps conten t is
ignored.

■ Film Indicator

Use the Film Indicator setting to enable or disable the film mode detection icon. If t he Film Indicator is set to On, a green square
will appear in the top left corner of the screen whenever a film cadence is detected. The Film Indicator can only be turned on
only when the Deinterlacer Mode is set to Auto. It is normal for the Film Indicator to spo radically turn on and off, depending on
the content.

■ Motion Display

Use the Motion Display options to display inter-field motion as false color (green) on the screen. This feature is used to visualize
how the deinterlacer is detecting motion in the content. It is normal for the screen to sho w large portions of green when viewing
moving images.

• Off Motion Display is off.

• Noise Pixelswhich change value between fields are displayed as green.

• Motion After a noise reduction filter, pixels which change value between fields are displayed as green.

OSD CONFIGURATION SUBMENU

Use the OSD Configuration submenu to select a variety of information to be displayed on the screen.

DEINTERLACER SUBMENU

Use the Deinterlacer submenu to control the type of deinterlacing performed on interlac ed input signals.

■ Deinterlacer Mode

Use the Deinterlacer Mode option to set the type of deinterlacing algorithm used:

• In Auto mode, t he deinterlacer defaults to Motion Adaptive mode (see below), but uses Film Mode (see below)
whenever a film cadence is detected. This is the optimum deinterlacing mode for be st picture quality and should be used
whenever possible.

• In Motion Ada ptive mode, the image processor uses a motion adaptive de-interlacing algorithm. Film cadence detection
is disabled. Motion adaptive interlacing uses a variety of real-time algorithms to perform the best possible deinterlacing based on
the content.

• In Field to Frame, ea ch incoming field is scaled to a full progressive frame by the scaler. It is normal for the image to
appear vertically “bouncy” or as shaking.

• In Interpolate (Bob) mode, each field is scaled to a full progressive frame by interpolating the missing line sfro m the
adjacent lines. It is normal for the image to appear vertically “bouncy” or as shak ing.

• In Static Mesh (Weav e)mod e, the Deinterlacer combines or “weaves” each pair of fields into a progressive frame. It is
normal to see jagged artifacts on fast-moving edges.

■ Film Mode

Film mode uses specialized algorithms to correctly deinterlace content that originated in either 24fps or 25fps. Film Mode is
automatically entered whenever a film-to-video cadence is detected in the content. Fil m cadence detection is active whenever
the Deinterlacer Mode is set to Auto.
