Installation
IMD Name (S/N)
The V-R201-IMD-TE includes a mounting bracket which can be attached to any standard EIA 19” equipment rack,
occupying 7RU. When attached to a rack, the V-R201-IMD-TE extends about 1 5/8” beyond the surface of the
rack rails. The mounting bracket also allows the monitor to slide 6” forward, providing easy access to rear panel
connections. To extend forward the monitor, hold either side of the monitor in line with rails and pull forward evenly and
firmly. To lock the monitor against the rack, push on either side firmly until either side locks into place. NOTE: For
video wall applications, at least 1 inch should be left between monitors on either side, so that the monitor can
be extended. There are no handles on the front of the unit. Monitors can however be installed end to end in a
column.
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 ENTER to edit the IMD Name. Use the and buttons to move the cursor. Press ENTER with the cursor on the
character to be changed and use the and buttons to scroll through character options. Press ENTER to choose a

Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
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, NTSC or PAL images will
occupy exactly 720 x 486 or 720 x 576 pixels respectively. The surrounding screen area will be black.
•
For incoming formats exceeding the screen resolution (or selected aspect ratio), only the center portion of the
incoming image will displayed, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080i/p formats will both
be cropped depending on the selected aspect ratio.
■
Aspect Ratio Settings
Video Configuration Submenu
Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings
As the V-R201-IMD-TE monitor has a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically
scaled to fit the screen:
■
Ctemp/Gamma
Use this setting to choose one of three color temperature / gamma presets:
•
•
•
•
In 4:3 mode, images are scaled up or down to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen (1400 x 1050). 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.
• D55 (5500K)
• D65 (6500K)
• D93 (9300K)
• Linear (No gamma applied)
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.
■
■
Monochrome Mode
In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen (1680 x 945). 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.
Use this setting to enable monochrome mode. Only the luminance of the image will be displayed as a grayscale
picture.
In Full Screen (16:10) mode, images are scaled to fill the entire 16:10 screen (1680 x 1050). 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 slightly vertically stretched.
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:
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.

4.
Allow the monitor to warm up for at least 5-10 minutes.
Display SMPTE split-field color bars on the monitor using an external source.
Enable Monochrome mode.
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.
6.
7.
Adjust the Contrast knob until an even grayscale appears along the top bars.
Disable Monochrome mode.
Enable Blue-Only mode and adjust the Color knob so that the outermost bars (white and blue) appear to match in brightness.
