Product Overview
The V-R201-IMD-TE is a 20.1” 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-R201-IMD-TE integrates easily with existing Tally systems and controllers, including Image Video, TSL, and MEI
protocols. This 7RU 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-R201-
IMD-TE is a perfect solution for video wall applications and systems.
The V-R201-IMD-TE 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-R201-IMD-TE can also be used as a standalone display with HD-SDI loop-through.

Tally Source
The V-R201-IMD-TE 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. Contact closure (ground) corresponds to a LOW state, and open circuit corresponds to a HIGH
state. 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/Marshall 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 settings, in conjunction with the
Image Video controlling device. T1, T2, T1T2, T2T1, T1-, T2-, T1T2-, T2T1-. Consult Image Video documentation for
further information.
