Can I mount the TLM-170LR in a 19" rack?

Yes. The TLM-170LR includes rack ears for a 19" 7U rack. Attach the ears using the supplied screws (four on each side plus additional at the base). The monitor occupies 7U of rack space when in use.

How do I connect the tally light?

The monitor has a built-in bi‑color tally light on the front panel. To control it externally, use the 3.5mm Tally Light Input on the rear panel. It is compatible with Datavideo devices like RMC‑140, TB‑5, TB‑10, ITC‑100SL, or ITC‑200B/E. The tally light can indicate Live (red) or Cued (green) status.

What is the difference between TLM-170L, TLM-170LR, and TLM-170LM?

The TLM-170L is a desktop monitor. The TLM‑170LR is a 19" 7U rack‑mount version (with rack ears). The TLM‑170LM is a 1U mobile tray rack mount version. All share the same display panel and features.

Can I use both HDMI and SDI inputs simultaneously?

The monitor has two HDMI inputs and one SDI input, but only one source can be displayed at a time. Use the Source Select Buttons on the front panel to switch between SDI, HDMI1, and HDMI2. The active input is indicated by a red LED on the button.

Press the MENU button to enter the OSD. Navigate to the COLOR submenu. Choose from preset values: 6500K, 9300K, or 7500K. Select USER COLOR to manually adjust Red, Green, and Blue levels from 0 to 100.

What should I do if the monitor does not power on?

Check that the AC adapter is securely connected to the DC In Socket on the rear panel and that the main On/Off Switch is in the ON position. Ensure the power source is working. If the problem persists, contact Datavideo support.

4. Firmware update procedure

From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix reported bugs in the current TLM-170L firmware. Customers can update the firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method.

This page describes the firmware update process and it should take approximately 15 minutes total time to complete.

As well as a working TLM-170L you will need:

The latest firmware update for the TLM-170L monitor.
This firmware file can be obtained from your local Datavideo office or dealer.
USB 2.0 pen drive 128MB or larger with a USB A connector.

Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a non-responsive unit.

How to update the firmware

1. Unzip / extract the supplied zipped archive or rar folder.
2. Wipe the contents of the USB 2.0 pen drive so it is empty.
3. Transfer / copy the unzipped / extracted file to the USB 2.0 pen drive; make sure the file name is renamed to MSTFLASH.bin.
4. Plug the USB 2.0 pen drive into the USB 2.0 port labelled MAINTENANCE on the back of the monitor.
5. Reboot TLM-170L and the update will be automatically in progress.
6. The TLM-170L Monitor will reboot itself at the end of the process.

5. TLM-170LR: Fitting the 19" Rack Ears to the TLM-170L

The TLM-170LR is supplied with 19" Rack Ears which allow the monitor to be rack mounted (19" 7U).

Pure architectural floor plan lines without any text, numbers, or symbols

Use the supplied screws to attach the left and right rack ears. You will see there are four screws on either side, as illustrated above, plus additional screws at the base of each rack ear, as illustrated below.

6. TLM-170LM: Fitting the monitor to a 19" Rack

The TLM-170LM is designed to rack mount. When folded away it is 1U high, please bear in mind that when opened for operation the monitor is 7U high, so leave adequate room above for this.

The monitor arrives already fitted with sliding rack rails, these have a length adjustment at the rear to suit the distance between the front and rear rack rails of your cabinet.

To adjust the length loosen the four adjustment nuts as illustrated below, and pull the side rails back as far as is required. Then re-tighten the nuts.

Mount the monitor in your rack with the rear panel facing upwards. Ensure the rack mounting screws are secured both front and rear.

Once mounted and secure to the rack, unscrew the two locking screws on either side of the front panel, and pull the monitor forward using the handle. Once the monitor is fully forward simply hinge it up into a vertical position.

To fold away, pull the top of the monitor forward, so that it hinges down to a horizontal position, then push it back into the rack until you are able to screw in the locking screws.

Note: When folding the monitor away be careful not to trap your fingers or scrape your hand on the rack cabinet.
