Color temperature adjustment, aspect ratio settings, blue-only mode, and monochrome mode are a few of the advanced features allowing the V-R171X-DLW to be at home in any broadcast environment. Pixel-to-Pixel mode also allows native display of any incoming image format.
Connect the required cables for video signals input and output. (Power must be applied to the V-R171X-DLW for the active loop-though output to be activated.) The monitor defaults to ‘ON’ when power is supplied.
Front Panel Features Power Button Turn the monitor off or on by pressing the power button. The LED on the power button is at maximum illumination when the unit is OFF. The LED is at minimum illumination when the unit is on.
Rear Panel Features RS-422/485 Serial Interface The RS-422/485 ports are used to remotely control the IMD or all V-R171X-DLW features, using a variety of industry standard protocols. (Note: Connector/pin-out may need to be adapted depending on protocol and controlling device used.) Only one connection to either port is needed...

■ 16:9 Markers Use this setting to superimpose one of 10 markers on the screen when in 16:9 or Full Screen mode. This setting is disabled when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3, or when Pixel-to-Pixel mode is enabled. Note that in Full Screen mode, markers are vertically stretched along with the picture to fit the 16:10 screen.
■ Marker Background Use this setting to choose how selected markers are displayed on the screen: • Off The marker is superimposed on the complete image. • 50% Gray Screen area beyond the marker is shown at 50% intensity. • Black Screen area beyond the marker is shown as black.
■ Aspect Ratio Settings Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings. As the V-R171X-DLW monitor has a native resolution of 1920x1200 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 (1600 x 1200). IMD text and time code are superimposed on the lower portion of the image.
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.
The HDMI CSC Auto setting is used to accommodate newer HDMI interfaces that send colorspace signaling in the HDMI data stream. If this setting is set to On, the monitor will automatically determine which colorspace setting to use. If this setting is set to Off, or your HDMI signal does not contain colorspace signaling, the DVI-D CSC Mode described above will determine the colorspace configuration.
