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 fingerprint resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the screen to avoid damaging the LCD.

■ Faceplate Dusting

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

Warranty

Marshall Electronics warranties to the first consumer that this V-MD241 LCD monitor will, under normal use, be free from defects in workmanship and materials, when received in its original container, for a period of one year from the purchase date. This warranty is extended to the first consumer only, and proof of purchase is necessary to honor the warranty. If there is no proof of purchase provided with a warranty claim, Marshall Electronics reserves the right not to honor the warranty set forth above. Therefore, labor and parts may be charged to the consumer. This warranty does not apply to the product exterior or cosmetics. Misuse, abnormal handling, alterations or modifications in design or construction void this warranty. It is considered normal for a minimal amount of pixels, not to exceed three, to fail on the periphery of the display active viewing area. Marshall Electronics reserves the option to refuse service for display pixel failure if deemed unobtrusive to effective use of the monitor by our technicians. No sales personnel of the seller or any other person is authorized to make any warranties other than those described above, or to extend the duration of any warranties on behalf of Marshall Electronics, beyond the time period described above. Due to constant effort to improve products and product features, specifications may change without notice.

Input Module Installation

1. Remove Power From Unit

- Modules are cold-swappable only. Damage will occur if modules are inserted or removed while unit is powered.

1. Remove Blank Module Cover

- Using Philips screwdriver, remove the 4-40x1/8" screws. There are a total of three screws, save them for later use.

■ Remove blank cover

1. Insert Optional Module

■ Decide which slot you intend to install module (Slot 1 or Slot 2)

- Carefully align the module with the chosen slot. The raised rails will fit inside the module

- Align the Module so that the three (3) mounting holes all line up with the threaded holes of the slot.

The connectors on both the module and the main-board slot should now be in alignment.

- Carefully PRESS the module into the slot. Module will seat flush with the rear of the unit.

- Replace the three (3) screws removed in Step 2.

*NOTE* Use ONLY 4 40x1/8" screws provided. Any screw longer than 1/8" will damage the main unit.

Use the check field modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image. In Monochrome mode, all color is disabled and only a grayscale image is shown. In Blue, Green, and Red check field modes, only the selected color will be shown.

Use the following procedure when calibrating the monitor to SMPTE color bars with the following procedure:

3. Enable Monochrome mode.

6. Disable Monochrome mode.

1. Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.
2. Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using an external source.
3. Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the Brightness button until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is still visible.
4. Adjust the Contrast button until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.
5. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color button so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
6. Composite NTSC only: Adjust the Tint button until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the right (magenta) appear to match in brightness.
7. Disable Blue Check Field mode.

Ratio Settings

Use to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.

• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the center 4:3 portion of the screen. With a 16:9 source, images will be centered with a black letter-box added on the left and right sides.
• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to a 16:9 portion of the screen, with a black letter-box added top and bottom.

Note: The aspect ratio setting is ignored when Pixel-to-Pixel mode is enabled.

■ Pixel-to-Pixel

Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.

This Pixel-to-Pixel mode bypasses the monitor's internal scaling function and displays incoming images in their native resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping:

- For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the LCD panel, the image will be displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC images will occupy exactly 720 x 480 pixels. The surrounding pixels will be black.

Note: Pixel-to-Pixel mode disables aspect ratio control and H/V Delay.

This monitor has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera iris is adjusted, elements of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must understand the color chart below and have a basic understanding of camera exposure. Normally, when shooting subjects like people, it is common practice to set exposure of faces to the equivalent of approximately 56 IRE. The false color filter will show this area as the color PINK on the monitor. Therefore, as you increase exposure (open the IRIS), your subject will change color as indicated on the chart: PINK, then GREY, then a few shades of YELLOW. Over-exposed subjects (above 101 IRE) on the monitor will be shown as RED. In addition, underexposed subjects will show as DEEP-BLUE to DARK-BLUE, with clipped-blacks indicated with a FUCHSIA-like color. Lastly, the color GREEN is used to indicate elements of the image that are approximately 45 IRE. This represents a 'neutral' or 'mid-level' exposure commonly used for objects (not people).

False Color Key

■ Mosquito Filter

Use this setting to filter out "Mosquito Noise" – an artifact that appears as specs around edges of objects. This artifact is the result of video that has been compressed at some point. Video sources from DVD-Players, PDA's, Digital Cable Boxes, Carncorders, etc. often have this artifact.

Use the Color Configuration submenu to adjust the color temperature of the display.
