This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays images in their native resolution and aspect
ratio, with a one-to-one mapping of incoming image pixels to screen pixels:
•
For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the screen (or selected aspect ratio), the image will be
displayed in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, 720p images will occupy
exactly 1280x720 pixels in the center of the screen. The surrounding screen area will be black.

Aspect Ratio Settings
Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings.
As the QV171-HDSDI monitor has a native resolution of 1920x1200 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically
scaled to fit the screen:
•
•
•
•
In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen (1600 x 1200). IMD text
and time code are superimposed on the lower portion of the image. The audio presence indicator and on-screen
tally are displayed at the bottom of the screen, outside the image.
In Scaled 4:3 mode, images are scaled to a smaller 4:3 portion of the screen, leaving space for IMD text, tally,
and audio presence indicator to be displayed below or around the image. Time code is superimposed on the
lower portion of the image.
In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen (1920 x 1080). In this
mode, IMD text and on-screen tally are displayed below the image. Time code and the audio presence indicator
are superimposed on the lower portion of the image.
In Full Screen (16:10) mode, images are scaled to fill the entire 16:10 screen (1920 x 1200). In this mode, all
OSD features are superimposed on the image. Note that when using a 16:9 input image in this mode, the
image will be vertically stretched by approximately 10%.
The diagrams on the following page show how IMD text, timecode, and the audio monitor icon are simultaneously
displayed on the screen in each aspect ratio setting. The white area represents the video image.

standard protocols, including TSL v4.0 and Image Video. Multiple QV171-HDSDI monitors can be looped together and
each addressed individually via the protocol. All menu features of the QV171-HDSDI can also be controlled via the
Marshall Network Controller box using MEI protocol. (Contact Marshall Electronics for additional information).
Use the IMD Configuration submenu to configure various IMD parameters as described below.
IMD Configuration Submenu

■
IMD ID #
The IMD ID # identifies each screen to the controlling device. When using the TSL protocol, the ID # of each screen
should be manually set in conjunction with the controlling device. When using the Image Video protocol, the ID # may
be set automatically by the controlling device, after each IMD is initially identified by IMD Name (see “IMD Name[S/N]”
below). Available ID #s are 000-254.
IMD Group #
Each screen can be assigned an IMD Group # when using the Marshall protocol. Available Group #s are 01-254.

IMD Protocol
Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the QV171-HDSDI receives remote commands.
Currently, four protocols are available. Contact Marshall Electronics for the latest protocol compatibility.
Image Video
Use the Image Video protocol setting when controlling the IMD from an Image Video tally controller (e.g. TSI-
1000) or other controlling device which utilizes the Image Video protocol. The IMD #, IMD Name(S/N), and Baud
Rate parameters must be set for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.
TSL v4.0
Use the TSL v4.0 protocol setting when controlling the IMD from a TSL tally controller, or other controlling device
which utilizes the TSL v4.0 protocol. The IMD # must be set for each screen in conjunction with the controlling
device.
MEI
Use the MEI protocol setting when controlling the QV171-HDSDI using the Marshall Network Controller box. This
protocol allows remote control of all features on the QV171-HDSDI, including marker setup, video configuration,
system configuration, and image adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.). The IMD #, IMD Group #, and Baud
Rate parameters must be set in conjunction with the Network Controller Box.
MEI-Image Video
This protocol setting accepts Image Video commands via MEI protocol, for use when an Image Video controller is
connected to the Marshall Network Controller box.
■
Tally Source
The QV171-HDSDI OSD tally can be controlled in a variety of different ways. Use the Tally Source setting to choose
how tally is controlled:
Standard
Use the Standard setting to control tally via contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface.
Image Video HW
Use the Image Video HW setting to control Image Video tally states via contact closure on the HD-15 tally
interface. Contact closure of the Red pin corresponds to Image Video Tally 1, and the Green pin maps to Image
Video Tally 2. Contact closure (ground) corresponds to a LOW state, and open circuit corresponds to a HIGH
state. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.
Image Video 422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol. OSD tally
will be disabled in this mode, as Image Video tally states are manifested in the text color and other parameters.
This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further
information.
Standard + IV422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol, while
controlling OSD tally using contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode
parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.

TSL/MEI 422
Use the TSL/MEI 422 setting to control OSD tally via the TSL or Marshall serial protocols.
■
■
IMD Baud Rate
Use this setting to choose the baud rate. The baud rate must be set in conjunction with the controlling device. Available
baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. The TSL v4.0 protocol is fixed at
38400 bauds.
IMD Name (S/N)
Use this setting to assign a name to each screen when using the Image Video or Marshall-IV protocols. The IMD name
is equivalent to the Image Video serial number and is used by the Image Video controlling device to identify
each screen. The default IMD Name(S/N) is “M00000.” It is recommended to maintain this naming scheme in order to
avoid serial number conflicts with other Image Video devices on the same serial bus. Each name can be up to 16
ASCII characters.
Press RotoMenu™ knob to edit the IMD Name. Rotate the RotoMenu™ knob to move the cursor. Press the
RotoMenu™ knob with the cursor on the character to be changed, then rotate the knob to scroll through the character
set . Press the RotoMenu™ knob to choose a character.
■
IMD Tally Mode
Use this setting when using Image Video tally control. Choose one of the following settings, in conjunction with the
Image Video controlling device. T1, T2, T1T2, T2T1, T1-, T2-, T1T2-, T2T1-. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.

IMD FIXED SUBMENU
■
IMD Fixed Color
Use this setting to choose the color of the IMD Fixed String text (see below). Available colors are red, green, and
yellow. This setting does not affect text color when using IMD text via the Image Video or TSL v4.0 protocols (text
color is set via the protocols).
■
■
IMD Fixed Align
Use this setting to choose the horizontal alignment of the IMD text. IMD text can be justified on the left, center or right
of the screen. This setting is overridden when using IMD text via the Image Video protocol (alignment is set via Image
Video protocol).
IMD Fixed String
Use this setting to display static IMD text on the screen. This setting is used to enter IMD text locally, when a serial
protocol is not used for remote control. The IMD Fixed String is saved after power cycle. The IMD Fixed String will be
overridden by serial protocol commands.
Press RotoMenu™ knob to edit the IMD Fixed String. Rotate the RotoMenu™ knob to move the cursor. Press the
RotoMenu™ knob with the cursor on the character to be changed, then rotate the knob to scroll through the character
set . Press the RotoMenu™ knob to choose a character.

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.
