■ Unpacking

Carefully unpack the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT monitor and verify that the following items are included:

• V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT Monitor with Attached Desktop Stand

- V-PS12-5V-1 Power Supply with Conxall 2-Pin Twist-Lock Connector

• Operating Instructions

Inspect the unit for any physical damage that may have occurred during shipping. Should there be any damage, immediately contact Marshall Electronics at [phone]. If you are not located within the continental United States, call [phone].

■ Installation

The V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT monitor is shipped with pre-installed desktop stand, allowing the monitor to be flexibly used in the field. The monitor can also be installed in an EIA standard 19-inch rack, occupying GRU (contact Marshall Electronics). When installed in a rack, the unit can be rotated 360° to achieve the desired viewing angle.

A VESA standard 75mm hole pattern also allows custom mounting installations on stands or articulating arms.

■ Connections and Power-On

Plug the V-PS12-5V-1 power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the 2-pin twist-lock connector to the back of the monitor.

Connect the required cables for video signal input and output. (Power must be applied to the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT for the active loop-though outputs to be activated.) All BNC connectors are rated at 75Ω.

Turn on the unit by pressing the power button located on the front panel. Select a video input by pressing the corresponding input select button.

VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued)

■ Aspect Ratio Settings

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

As the V-LCD15SB-AFHD-DT monitor has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically scaled to fit the screen:

• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the entire 4:3 screen (1024 x 768).

- In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion of the screen (1024 x 576), with black bars filling the remainder of the screen.

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

■ Scanning Modes

Use this setting to switch between normal and underscan modes:

• In normal scan mode, the active portion of the video signal is displayed on the screen, with 0% overscan.

- In underscan mode, area around the active video area is displayed on the screen, resulting in blanking intervals being shown around the perimeter of the active image. Use this mode to clearly view the edges of the active video area.

■ Delay Modes

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

- 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.

Note: Delay modes are only available in normal scan mode.

VIDEO CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued)

■ Monochrome Mode

Use this setting to enable monochrome mode. Only the luminance of the image will be displayed as a grayscale picture.

■ Blue-Only Mode

Use this setting to enable Blue-Only mode. This mode displays only the blue color component of the image, switching off the red and green components. Use this mode 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 the internal generator or an external source
3. Enabie Monochrome mode
4. Locate the sluge 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 even grayscale appears along the top bars.
6. Disable Monochrome mode
7. Enable Blue-Only mode and adjust the Color knob so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
8. Composite'S-Video NTSC only: Adjust the Tint knob until the third bar from the left (cyan) and the third bar from the right (magenta) appear to match in brightness.
9. Disable Blue-Only mode

This 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 (1024 x 768), the image will be displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC or PAL images will occupy exactly 720 x 486 or 720 x 576 pixels respectively. The surrounding pixels will be black.
• For incoming formats exceeding 1024 x 768 pixels, only the center 1024 x 768 of the incoming image will displayed occupying the whole screen, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080 and 720 formats will both be cropped to 1024 x 768 and displayed full-screen.

Note: Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode will utilize the entire screen (1024 x 768) regardless of the aspect ratio setting. Pixel-to-Pixel™ mode is not available when using the VGA or DVI inputs.
