Product Overview; Features - I-Tech V-R171-IMD-HDSDI Operating Instructions Manual

Product Overview

The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI is a triple 6.5" LCD monitor with HD-SDI inputs and In-Monitor Display functionality – a cost-
effective "all-in-one" solution for post-production houses, broadcasters, and mobile units. This fully integrated approach
eliminates the need for additional or separate Under Monitor Displays and allows UMD information and tallies to be
displayed directly within a I-Tech flat panel monitor, while saving precious rack space. A variety of features are readily
available including on-screen Video Time Code, three-color "Soft" Tallies, Audio Presence Indicator, and a new
RotoMenu™ feature that allows fast, direct, and easy menu navigation.
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI integrates easily with existing Tally systems and controllers, including Image Video, TSL, and
MEI protocols. This 3RU unit also ships ready to rack mount and provides up to 20% more screen when compared to our
competitors' LCD and CRT models that occupy the same space. This is in addition to the benefits of low weight and power
consumption when compared to similar CRT products and separate Under Monitor Display configurations. The V-R171-
IMD-HDSDI is a perfect solution for video wall applications and systems.
Each screen offers a single HDSDI/SDI input with active loop-through capability. Additional features include ultra-wide
viewing angles, adjustment settings memory, frame markers, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, Blue Only mode, and user-definable
function buttons. The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI can also be used as three standalone displays with HD-SDI loop-through.

■ Tally Source
The V-R171-IMD-HDSDI tally (OSD and LED) 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. 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. LED and
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 LED and 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/I-Tech 422
Use the TSL/I-Tech 422 setting to control OSD and LED tally via the TSL or I-Tech serial protocols.
