Modular Input Flexibility

The V-MD173 supports Marshall’s Type A input modules, which can be easily swapped or upgraded in the field. Choose from a wide range of modules—including 3G-SDI, HDMI, DVI-I, and Optical I/O—to adapt to any workflow without replacing the entire unit.

• MD-DVII-A: DVI-I Input
• MD-TC-A: Optical Inputs/Outputs (custom configurations)

Advanced Monitoring Tools

Take control of your camera exposure with the built-in False Color Filter, a powerful visual aid that maps luminance levels to color-coded values. This tool eliminates guesswork and reduces the need for external test equipment, ensuring precise exposure settings every time.

• PINK: Proper skin tone exposure (~56 IRE)
• GREEN: Neutral/mid-level (~45 IRE)
• RED: Overexposed (>101 IRE)
• DARK BLUE/FUCHSIA: Underexposed or clipped blacks

Rack or Desktop Ready

Engineered for seamless integration, the V-MD173 fits any standard EIA 19in rack and includes adjustable rack ears for optimal viewing angles. A 75mm VESA mount pattern supports custom installations, while optional desktop mounting is available with the V-ST15 stand (sold separately).

Text Overlays & Tally Integration

With IMD (In-Monitor Display) support, users can enable on-screen text (up to 16 characters) to label monitors for quick identification. Customize font color, alignment, and background opacity for clarity and consistency. Integrated Tally lights (LED and on-screen) enhance workflow in multi-camera environments.
