Fully Featured 8.4” Rack Mountable / Camera-Top / Portable LCD Field Monitor
Operating Instructions
Product Overview
The Orchid OR-841-HDSDI is a single 8.4” fully featured camera-top and field monitor system. The OR-841-
HDSDI offers built-in Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Built In Speaker with audio outputs, and
several diagnostic tools. This monitor is ideal for use as a camera top or field camera assist monitor. The OR-841-
HDSDI is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs with switched output. Diagnostic tools include our exclusive
ClipGuide feature, 16 Tri-Color Audio Bar Graph meters with peak hold and numeric display of headroom
and peak levels, and real-time analysis of color space conversion gamut errors. Other standard features include
factory calibrated screen, easy-to-navigate onscreen menus with RotoMenu control, 9 assignable function keys,
adjustable color temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, blue-only mode, monochrome
mode, H/V delay, and 7 assignable GPI inputs.
Features
High Resolution 8.4” Panel
The OR-841-HDSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features
a nominal brightness of 400 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making each display ideal in a variety of
environments and lighting conditions.
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black
clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions,
and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors
luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable
warning limits.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real
time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes,
positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain
from 1x to 5x.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and
Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide
levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under
exposures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper
ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With
these settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red
on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for
blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space
conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C
limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal
video production.

Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio using sixteen
64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with user-adjustable reference levels.
The Audio Level Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom levels,
as well as peak hold function. Audio Channel Loss Warning prevents errors
during monitoring.
Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essential in order to render colors correctly.
To display colors correctly, gray scale should maintain identical color
temperature. The white balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65
(6500K) so the user does not need to adjust white balance.
LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white balance can be
affected by a change in luminance level. Our unique color management
system solves this problem.
The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic White Balance
function that allows a “One Button” calibration procedure when used with a
Minolta CA-210 color probe. All Orchid Series LCD panels are calibrated
at the factory to ensure color conformity between screens.
Select color temperature and gamma mode
Color temperature presets may be selected between D65 or D93 as well as user-defined settings.
Gamma settings are adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 in 0.1 steps. The standard setting is 2.2.
Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full screen modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect
ratios used in broadcast environments.
User-Definable Function Buttons
Nine user-definable function buttons and one Rotary Encoder on the front panel allow quick access to numerous
settings and features including Input 1, Input 2, Option Input, Waveform, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, aspect ratio,
screen markers, monochrome mode, H/V delay mode, and more.
AUDIO Jack
There are two 3.5mm AUDIO jacks (one on the front panel for headphones and one on rear panel to feed an
external amplifier). It is possible to utilize both the front panel headphone connector and rear panel speaker
connector simultaneously with individual volume controls. When not in menu mode, the rotary encoder on the
front panel may control the headphone and internal speaker volume.

REMOTE SUBMENU
■ Pin 1 through Pin 8
The RJ-45 Remote connector on the rear panel has 8
pins. Pin 5 is Ground, while the remaining 7 pins are
pulled high to 3.3VDC and may be used for Tally or
other Remote Commands. A list of available
Commands and Tally configurations can be found in
the Menu Overview section of this manual. The
command or Tally is activated by connecting the
corresponding Pin (1-4 and 6-8) to Pin 5 (Ground).
Event Trigger
• Two types of events are allowed.
• The falling event is when you pull down to ground, and the rising event is when you remove the
ground and the pin returns to normal high state.
• Falling events occurs only once and on the event of power up sequence.
• This means a falling event will occur only once regardless of whether its pin is repeatedly grounded
such as when selecting an input source.
• The rising event can only occur once a pin has been pulled down to ground to activate the command
such as turning on a tally releasing ground (open circuit) to turn off.
• Priority
• Lower pin number has higher priorities over higher pin numbers during power up sequence.
Tally System
Tally System can be used with non-separated mode and separated mode.
Non-separated mode
• Supports R/G/B tallies.
• Can mix any channels. FOR EXAMPLE: Mix Red and Green for Amber.
• Cannot mix R/G/B for White (It will be pink due to white balance).
• Cannot be assigned with separated tallies.
Left/Right Separated Mode
• Supports R/G/B tallies on each Left and Right.
• Can mix any channels for each Left and Right.
• Cannot mix R/G/B for White (It will be pink due to white balance).
• Cannot be assigned with non-separated tallies.

Maintenance / Color Calibration Procedure
■ 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.
■ Color Calibration Procedure
• Allow both the unit you want to calibrate and the Minolta® CA-210 to warm up for a minimum of 20 minutes.
• Attach the CA-210 color probe to the update dongle.
• With the unit still turned on, insert the update dongle into the service port at the rear of the OR-841-HDSDI.
• Use the RotoMenu navigation control and go to:
Color Menu
Color Temp
• Cal D65/D93 to calibrate both
• Cal D65 to calibrate only D65
• Cal D93 to calibrate only D93
Press enter once to select and again to confirm
• Follow the on-screen instructions
Notes:
1. If there is no color probe attached or you make a mistake and try to calibrate the incorrect screen, you will get
an error message and the screen will default to previous settings.
2. If the calibration process is interrupted while in progress, the current screen settings will be corrupted and the
calibration process will have to be repeated.
