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.

• D65 (6500K)

• 930DK
- USER (Adjustable Color Bias and Gain)
- Linear (No processing is applied to the panel)

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

■ 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:

RGB Bias 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.

Alternatively, the image adjustment buttons (Brightness, Color, Tint, Contrast) can be used to easily adjust the bias and gain settings as shown below. The buttons affect whichever row of controls (gain or bias) is currently selected.

■ 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 button until there is no visible difference between the super black and black bars, but the gray bar is still visible.

5. Adjust the Contrast button until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.

6. Disable Monochrome mode.
7. Enable Blue Check Field mode and adjust the Color button so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
8. 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.
9. Disable Blue Check Field mode.

■ Ratio Settings

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

• In Full Screen mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen.
- 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:

■ 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.

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

Color Configuration Submenu

■ Input Format OSD

Use this option to enable on-screen display of input/format status in the upper-left corner of the screen.

■ Curtain Color

Use this option to change the curtain color on the monitor. This curtain color is what you see when there is no signal input to the monitor.

■ Splash Screen

Use this option to enable or disable the Marshall Electronics Inc. splash screen seen when the monitor is first powered on,

■ Freeze

Use the Freeze function to "freeze" the current image on the screen. Select this menu item again (Unfreeze) to return to the real-time video input.

■ Contrast / Backlight

FILTER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU

False Colors

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 IRE), 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).

- 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.

MARKER CONFIGURATION SUBMENU
