Product Overview The V-R261-IMD-HDSDI is a full resolution 26” 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.

On-Screen Menu (continued) IMD CONFIGURATION SUBMENU (continued) ■ IMD ID # The IMD ID # identifies each screen to the controlling device. When using the TSL protocol, the ID # of each screen 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.
