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 6RU (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. Please note that 12-17VDC can be also supplied directly to the monitor from a variety of sources. The monitor will draw approximately 3 Amps at 12 Volts in operation.

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.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4:3 Mode

 

16:9 Mode

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.
