■ IMD Protocol
Use the IMD Protocol menu option to choose the protocol with which the V-R653-IMD-3GTE receives remote commands.
Currently, four protocols are available. Contact Marshall Electronics for the latest protocol compatibility.
Image Video
Use the Image Video protocol setting when controlling the IMD from an Image Video tally controller (e.g. TSI-1000) or other
controlling device which utilizes the Image Video protocol. The IMD #, IMD Name(S/N), and Baud Rate parameters must be set
for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.
TSL v4.0
Use the TSL v4.0 protocol setting when controlling the IMD from a TSL tally controller, or other controlling device which utilizes
the TSL v4.0 protocol. The IMD # must be set for each screen in conjunction with the controlling device.
MEI
Use the MEI protocol setting when controlling the V-R653-IMD-3GTE using the Marshall Network Controller box. This protocol
allows remote control of all features on the V-R653-IMD-3GTE, including marker setup, video configuration, system
configuration, and image adjustments (brightness, contrast, etc.). The IMD #, IMD Group #, and Baud Rate parameters must be
set in conjunction with the Network Controller Box.
MEI-Image Video
This protocol setting accepts Image Video commands via MEI protocol, for use when an Image Video controller is connected to
the Marshall Network Controller box.
■ 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. When using the Marshall protocol, available ID #s are 001-254.
■ IMD Group #
Each screen can 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 “M00000.” 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).
