Maintenance

■ Screen Cleaning

Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (Marshall Part No. V-HWP-K). A clean microfiber 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. Amistatic 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.

■ HDMI DSLR Ratio (HDMIPT Model Only)

During video recording, the most popular DSLR cameras place "pillar" boxes around the image when outputting to an external HDMI video sink. The HDMI DSLR Ratio option allows you to size the scale of the image so that you can see only video in the appropriate aspect ratio or only video that is being captured by the camera's sensor.

Sensor Cropped image “Pillar” Box HDMI DSLR Video Recording DSL R Video DSL R HDMI Video output during recording

The HDMI DSLR Ratio provides you with 3 options: 3:2, 16:9 and Full Screen.

Use the 3:2 option to scale the HDMI DSLR video output to fit the screen vertically.

■ Peaking Filter (Focus assist)

The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the camera operator adjusts (racks) the focus control (on the camera lens), different parts of the image will have RED colored edges. This indicates that the portion of the image is sharp - or in focus. Final focus is achieved by racking the camera lens focus control back and forth until the desired portion of the image has RED colored edges. Please note that this feature is most effective when the subject is properly exposed and contains enough contrast to be processed.

■ 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, Camcorders, etc. often have this artifact.

Filter Configuration Submenu

■ False Colors

The V-LCD70XHB 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).

- USER (Adjustable Color Bias and Gain)
• Linear (No processing is applied to the panel)

■ Gamma Correction

Use the Gamma Correction setting to adjust the value of the gamma applied to incoming video signals. The default gamma value is 2.2. Gamma correction represents the relationship between the pixel levels from your incoming video

and the luminance of your monitor. The lowest gamma level available, 1.6, will cause the image to appear brighter. The highest gamma level available, 2.4, will cause the image to appear darker. The chart below shows this on a scale.

■ RGB Bias and Gain

Select this submenu to fine-tune the monitor's color balance (R, G, B). This should only be done by someone experienced with video engineering, as this will alter the overall color shading of the screen. The purpose is to allow color matching to other types of monitors and/or displays. Note: The Color Temperature preset will automatically switch to USER when Color Bias settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle.

When selecting the RGB Bias and Gain submenu, gain adjustment indicators will appear at the top of the screen, and bias adjustment indicators will appear at the bottom of the screen:

BOB Blue and Gain

Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to select each individual bias or gain control. Press SELECT to begin adjusting the control. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to increase or decrease the value.

■ Check Field

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:

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. Enable Monochrome mode.
4. Locate the pluge pattern (super black, black, and gray bars) at the lower-right corner of the screen. Adjust the Brightness knob until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is still visible.
5. Adjust the Contrast knob until an oven grayscale appears along the top bars.
6. Disanla Monochrome mode
7. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color knob so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
8. Composite NTSC only: Adjust the Tint knob until the third bar from the left icy end and the third bar from the right imagenta; appear to match in brightness.
9. Disable Blue Check Field mode.

■ Ratio

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

As the V-LCD70XHB-HDA monitor has a native resolution of 800 x 450 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically scaled to fit the screen:

• In Full Screen mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen (800 x 480).
• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the center 4:3 portion of the screen (640 x 480). 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 (800 x 450), 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 Mode

Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode. You have the option of viewing the center 800 x 480 (Centered Pixel-to-Pixel mode) or selecting any 800 x 480 area on the screen (User Pixel-to-Pixel mode). The User Pixel-to-Pixel option is not available when the incoming image is 800 x 480 or lower - only the Centered Pixel-to-Pixel mode can be used in this case.

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 (800 x 480), 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.

- For incoming formats exceeding 800 x 480 pixels, only the center 800 x 480 of the incoming image will displayed occupying the whole screen, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080i formats will both be cropped to 800 x 480 and displayed full-screen.

Note: Pixel-to-Pixel mode disables aspect ratio control and HV Delay.

■ H/V Delay

Use this setting to enable one of three delay modes (H & V Delay, V Delay, H Delay):

• In H & V Delay mode, both horizontal sync and vertical sync are delayed, resulting in both horizontal and vertical blanking periods being shown on the screen.
• In V Delay mode, vertical sync is delayed so that the vertical blanking period is displayed on screen.
• In H Delay mode, horizontal sync is delayed so that the horizontal blanking period is displayed on the screen.

■ Underscan

Use this setting to enable or disable Underscan mode:

• When Underscan is OFF, the active portion of the video signal is displayed on the screen, with 0% overscan.
• When Underscan is ON, the image size is slightly reduced. This allows the user to clearly view the edges of the active video area.

■ NTSC Black Level

Set the NTSC Black Level according to the type of NTSC composite video input:

• 7.5 IRE: Use this setting for standard NTSC-M signals which use a 7.5 IRE setup (black level).
• 0 IRE: Use this setting for NTSC-J signals which have no setup, or a black level of 0 IRE.

Note: This setting is disabled for PAL composite input and all component/HDMI formats.
