IMD CONFIGURATION SUBMENU
■Overview
The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI features an In-Monitor Display (IMD) with the ability to display on-screen text and tally in three colors. IMD text, color, and alignment can be assigned to each screen locally using menu options (see below). Alternately, IMD text and tally can be remotely controlled via the RS-422/485 serial interface using several industry- standard protocols, including TSL v4.0 and Image Video. Multiple V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI monitors can be looped together and each addressed individually via the protocol. All menu features of the V-R171X-IMD-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 Protocol
Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the V-R171X-IMD-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 V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI using the Marshall Network Controller box. This protocol allows remote control of all features on the V-R171X-IMD-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.
