Product Overview The V-R171X-IMD-HDSDI is a full resolution 17” LCD monitor with an HD-SDI input 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.
