Installation and Initial Setup

■Unpacking

Carefully unpack the monitor and verify that the following items are included:

• MD-171 Monitor

• V-PS12-5V-XLR Power Supply with 4-Pin Male XLR Connector

• Operating Instructions

Inspect the unit for any physical damage that may have occurred during shipping. Should there be any damage,

immediately call Marshall Electronics Customer Service at (800) 800-6608. If you are not located within the continental

United States, call +1 (310) 333-0606.

■Installation

The V-MD171X can be mounted in any standard EIA 19” equipment rack. The attached rack ears can be angled to

provide the user control over the viewing angle. Adequate ventilation is required when installed to prevent possible

damage to the monitor’s internal components.

A VESA standard 75mm hole pattern also allows custom mounting installations. Alternately, the V-MD171X can be

used in a desktop configuration with optional stand (Marshall part number V-ST15).

■Input Slots

Install any optional input modules BEFORE applying power to unit. Please see detailed instructions on Page 9.

■Connections and Power-On

Plug the V-PS12-5V-XLR power supply into an AC power source (100-240 V @ 50/60 Hz). Attach the 4-pin male twist-

lock connector to the back of the monitor. The monitor draws a maximum of 3.0 Amps at 12 Volts in operation.

Connect the required cables for video signals, tally, etc. (Power must be applied to the V-MD171X for any of the active

loop-through outputs to be activated.) All BNC connectors are rated at 75Ω.

The unit defaults to ‘ON’ when power is supplied.

Part Number V-ST15)

Front Panel Features

Power Button

Use the power button to toggle between ON and

STANDBY modes. In both the STANDBY and the

ON state, the LED on the button will illuminate bright

green. This indicates that MAINS power is applied to

the unit.

Input Select Buttons

Use the VIDEO, YPbPr, and S1/S2 buttons to select

the corresponding analog or digital input. Video

standards (NTSC/PAL, etc.) are automatically

detected. S1/S2 select inputs connected to Optional

Input Modules (located in Slot-1 or Slot-2).

User-Definable Function Buttons

Four user-definable function buttons can be used for

direct access to various settings. Functions are

assigned using the on-screen menu (Function

Presets – Page 21).

Menu Navigation Buttons

Use the Menu, ▲, ▼, and Select buttons to display

and navigate the on-screen menu (See Main Menu

and Navigation – Page 12).

Image Adjustment Knobs

Use the image adjustment knobs to adjust color

brightness, color-saturation, tint, and contrast of the

image. The status of each image adjustment

parameter is shown on the bottom left of the screen,

with values ranging from 0 to 100. Default value is

50.

LED Tally

Three LED tally lights (yellow, red, green) are

available above the screen. Each tally light can be

controlled independently from the rear Tally

Connector. (See Tally Hardware Interface, Page

22.)

Rear Panel Features

Component and Composite Input and Output

The V-MD171X has HD/SD component (YPbPr) and

composite analog input. There is as an active loop-

through output for each analog input. See page 10

for supported video formats. The BNC inputs are

internally terminated with 75 ohms. Outputs are

active ONLY when power is supplied to unit.

Power Input

Connect 12VDC to the 4-pin XLR power input

connector. Power should only be supplied from the

included power supply.

IMPORTANT: If using a power source other than the

included power supply, damage may result. Please

use the pin out diagram in the Specifications section

of these Operating Instructions.

Tally Input Connector (HD-15)

The LED tally can be activated via the HD-15

connector by connecting the corresponding pin to

ground. A variety of external devices can be used to

perform the contact closure. No additional power

should be supplied to the HD-15 port. See pin-out

details on page 22.

Programming Connector CN1*

For Factory Use ONLY.

*NOTE* although this appears to be a standard USB

connector, It is NOT. Do not connect to any

computer directly.

Desktop Mounting Holes

These holes are used when attaching the monitor to

the optional desktop stand.

See page 5 for details

VESA 75mm Hole Pattern

VESA-standard 75 mm hole-pattern is provided to

accommodate a variety of custom mounting options.

Input Slots, S1 and S2

The V-MD171X has 2 slots for optional input

modules. These modules allow for a wide variety of

input types and configurations. Modules are COLD

swappable and must only be inserted or removed

ONLY when Main Power is UPGLUGGED.

Input Module Installation

1. Remove Power From Unit



Modules are cold-swappable only. Damage will occur if modules are inserted or removed while unit is

powered.

2. Remove Blank Module Cover



Using Philips screwdriver, remove the 4-40x1/8” screws. There are a total of three screws, save them for

later use.



Remove blank cover

3. Insert Optional Module



Decide which slot you intend to install module (Slot 1 or Slot 2)



Carefully align the module with the chosen slot. The raised rails will fit inside the module



Align the Module so that the three (3) mounting holes all line up with the threaded holes of the slot.



The connectors on both the module and the main-board slot should now be in alignment.



Carefully PRESS the module into the slot. Module will seat flush with the rear of the unit.



Replace the three (3) screws removed in Step 2.

*NOTE* Use ONLY 4-40x1/8” screws provided. Any screw longer than 1/8” will damage the main unit.

Main Menu

Video Configuration Submenu

On-Screen Menu (continued)

■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:

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.

Alternately, the image adjustment knobs (Brightness, Color, Tint, Contrast) can be used to easily adjust the bias and gain

settings as shown below. The knobs affect whichever row of controls (gain or bias) is currently selected.

Note: RGB Gain and Bias is disabled when Color Temperature is set to Linear.

■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.

■Ratio (Aspect Ratio Settings)

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

As the V-MD171X monitor has a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically

scaled to fit the screen:

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

• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen, with black bars filling the remainder

of the screen edges.

• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion of the screen (1920 x1080), with black bars

filling the remainder of the screen.
