V-R653SB-IMD
High Definition Triple LCD Monitor with In-Monitor Display
Operating Instructions
Product Overview
The V-R653SB-IMD is a triple 6.5” LCD monitor with HD-SDI inputs and In-Monitor Display functionality – a cost-effective
"all-in-one" solution for post-production houses, broadcasters, and mobile units. This fully integrated approach eliminates
the need for additional or separate Under Monitor Displays and allows UMD information and tallies to be displayed directly
within a Marshall flat panel monitor, while saving precious rack space. A variety of features are readily available including
on-screen Video Time Code, three-color "Soft" Tallies, Audio Presence Indicator, and a new RotoMenu™ feature that
allows fast, direct, and easy menu navigation.
The V-R653SB-IMD integrates easily with existing Tally systems and controllers, including Image Video, TSL, and MEI
protocols. This 3RU unit also ships ready to rack mount and provides up to 20% more screen when compared to our
competitors' LCD and CRT models that occupy the same space. This is in addition to the benefits of low weight and power
consumption when compared to similar CRT products and separate Under Monitor Display configurations. The V-
R653SB-IMD is a perfect solution for video wall applications and systems.
Each screen offers a single HDSDI/SDI input with active loop-through capability. Additional features include ultra-wide
viewing angles, adjustment settings memory, frame markers, Pixel-to-Pixel mode, Blue Only mode, and user-definable
function buttons. The V-R653SB-IMD can also be used as three standalone displays with HD-SDI loop-through.
The V-R653SB-IMD is designed specifically for outdoor applications or challenging viewing environments where high
brightness and visibility is required.

Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode.
This mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays incoming 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 to 1024 x 768, or 1024x576, depending on the selected aspect ratio.
■
Aspect Ratio Settings
Use this menu option to switch between several aspect ratio settings
As the V-R653SB-IMD 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). IMD text, tally, time code,
and audio presence indicator are superimposed on the lower portion of the image.
In Scaled 4:3 mode, images are scaled to a smaller 4:3 portion of the screen, leaving space for IMD text to be
displayed below the image. Time code and the audio monitor icon are superimposed on the image.
In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion at the top of the screen (1024 x 576). In this
mode, IMD text, tally, time code, and the audio monitor icon are shown in the black area at the bottom of the
screen, without overlapping the image.
•
In 16:9 Centered mode, images are scaled to fill the maximum 16:9 portion in the center of the screen (1024 x
576), with black bars filling the remainder of the screen. In this mode, IMD text is shown below the image, and
time code is shown above. The audio monitor icon is superimposed on the lower left of the image.
The diagrams on the following page show how IMD text, timecode, and the audio monitor icon are simultaneously

System Configuration Submenu
■
Deinterlacer Mode
User the Deinterlacer Mode option to set the type of deinterlacing algorithm used:
•
•
In Auto mode, the deinterlacer defaults to Motion Adaptive mode (see below), but uses Film Mode (see below)
whenever a film cadence is detected. This is the optimum deinterlacing mode for best picture quality and should
be used whenever possible.
In Motion Adaptive mode, the image processor uses a motion adaptive de-interlacing algorithm. Film cadence
detection is disabled. Motion adaptive interlacing uses a variety of real-time algorithms to perform the best
possible deinterlacing based on the content.
•
•
•
In Field to Frame, each incoming field is scaled to a full progressive frame by the scaler. It is normal for the
image to appear vertically “bouncy” or as shaking.
In Interpolate (Bob) mode, each field is scaled to a full progressive frame by interpolating the missing lines from
the adjacent lines. It is normal for the image to appear vertically “bouncy” or as shaking.
In Static Mesh (Weave) mode, the Deinterlacer combines or “weaves” each pair of fields into a progressive
frame. It is normal to see jagged artifacts on fast-moving edges.

should be manually set in conjunction with the controlling device. When using the Image Video protocol, the ID # may
be set automatically by the controlling device, after each IMD is initially identified by IMD Name (see “IMD Name[S/N]”
below). Available ID #s are 000-255. When using the Marshall protocol, available ID #s are 001-254.
■
■
IMD Group #
Each screen must be assigned an IMD Group # when using the Marshall protocol. Available Group #s are 01-254.
IMD Name (S/N)
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 “M00001.” 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
character.

IMD Baud Rate
Use this setting to choose the baud rate. The baud rate must be set in conjunction with the controlling device. Available
baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200. The TSL v4.0 protocol is fixed at
38400 bauds.
IMD Fixed Align
Use this setting to choose the horizontal alignment of the IMD text. IMD text can be justified on the left, center or right
of the screen. This setting is overridden when using IMD text via the Image Video protocol (alignment is set via Image
Video protocol).
IMD Fixed Color
Use this setting to choose the color of the IMD Fixed String text (see below). Available colors are red, green, and
yellow. This setting does not affect text color when using IMD text via the Image Video or TSL v4.0 protocols (text
color is set via the protocols).
IMD Fixed String
Use this setting to display static IMD text on the screen. This setting is used to enter IMD text locally, when a serial
protocol is not used for remote control. The IMD Fixed String is saved after power cycle. The IMD Fixed String will be
overridden by serial protocol commands.
Press ENTER to edit the IMD Fixed String. 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 character.

Tally Source
The V-R653SB-IMD tally (OSD and LED) can be controlled in a variety of different ways. Use the Tally Source setting
to choose how tally is controlled:
Standard
Use the Standard setting to control tally via contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface.
Image Video HW
Use the Image Video HW setting to control Image Video tally states via contact closure on the HD-15 tally
interface. Contact closure of the Red pin corresponds to Image Video Tally 1, and the Green pin maps to Image
Video Tally 2. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation
for further information.
Image Video 422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol. LED and
OSD tally will be disabled in this mode, as Image Video tally states are manifested in the text color and other
parameters. This mode requires the IMD Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.
Standard + IV422
Use the Image Video 422 setting to control Image Video tally states via the Image Video serial protocol, while
controlling LED and OSD tally using contact closure on the HD-15 tally interface. This mode requires the IMD
Tally Mode parameter to be set. Consult Image Video documentation for further information.
TSL/MEl 422
Use the TSL/Marshall 422 setting to control OSD and LED tally via the TSL or Marshall serial protocols.
■
IMD Tally Mode
Use this setting when using Image Video tally control. Choose one of the following states, in conjunction with the
Image Video controlling device. T1, T2, T1T2, T2T1, T1-, T2-, T1T2-, T2T1-. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.

Maintenance
■
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.
