MARSHALL ELECTRONICS 17" Rack Mountable High Definition LCD Monitor Model V-LCD17H

Circa Early 2000's

Use Case:

Used for professional, low-budget broadcast and production monitoring. It functions as a robust desktop monitor for use in control rooms, editing suites, or field setups using an optional C-stand mount (included). It is equipped with a 3G/HD-SDI input and loop-out, which is the standard connection for professional video equipment. It includes professional monitoring tools such as False Color, Markers, and Pixel-to-Pixel modes to assist camera operators and editors in achieving proper focus and exposure.

Compatibility as a Computer Monitor:

The monitor uses 3G/HD-SDI inputs, which are standard in broadcast video production. To connect a computer to an SDI input, you would need an external SDI converter box or a professional graphics card with an SDI output. The monitor has a native resolution that modern PCs and Macs can output without issue.

NOTE: A BLACKMAGIC DESIGN Micro Convertor HDMI to SDI 3G is available separately for this purpose.

Historical Significance:

Historically significant as a durable and feature-rich professional production monitor that helped facilitate the industry's shift from standard definition to high-definition SDI workflows in the 2010s. Its combination of broadcast-specific features (3G-SDI, False Color, Tally), versatile mounting options and a competitive price point made it an industry workhorse in a wide range of professional production environments.

NOTE: This unit can be mounted to a typical C-Stand via the included accessory mount or the also included custom desktop stand. In addition, it is compatible with VESA mounting devices.
