Product Overview
The Orchid OR-841-HDSDI is a single 8.4” fully featured camera-top and eld monitor system. The OR-841-
HDSDI offers built-in Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Built In Speaker with audio outputs, and
several diagnostic tools. This monitor is ideal for use as a camera top or eld camera assist monitor. The OR-841-
HDSDI is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs with switched output. Diagnostic tools include our exclusive
ClipGuide feature, 16 Tri-Color Audio Bar Graph meters with peak hold and numeric display of headroom
and peak levels, and real-time analysis of color space conversion gamut errors. Other standard features include
factory calibrated screen, easy-to-navigate onscreen menus with RotoMenu control, 9 assignable function keys,
adjustable color temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, blue-only mode, monochrome
mode, H/V delay, and 7 assignable GPI inputs.
High Resolution 8.4” Panel
The OR-841-HDSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features
a nominal brightness of 400 cd/m2and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making each display ideal in a variety of
environments and lighting conditions.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real
time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes,
positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain
from 1x to 5x.
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black
clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions,
and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors
luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable
warning limits.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and
Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide
levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under
exposures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper
ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With
these settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red
on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for
blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space
conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C
limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal
video production.

Precision White Balance with Color Temperature Adjustment
White balance adjustment is essential in order to render colors correctly.
To display colors correctly, gray scale should maintain identical color
temperature. The white balance for ORCHID monitors defaults to D65
(6500K) so the user does not need to adjust white balance.
LCD monitors have color-matching issues because white balance can be
affected by a change in luminance level. Our unique color management
system solves this problem.
The ORCHID operating system includes an Automatic White Balance
function that allows a “One Button” calibration procedure when used with a
Minolta CA-210 color probe. All Orchid Series LCD panels are calibrated
at the factory to ensure color conformity between screens.
Select color temperature and gamma mode
Color temperature presets may be selected between D65 or D93 as well as user-dened settings.
Gamma settings are adjustable from 1.0 to 3.0 in 0.1 steps. The standard setting is 2.2.
Flexible Screen Markers
A variety of screen markers in 4:3, 16:9, and full screen modes allow accurate monitoring of the different aspect
ratios used in broadcast environments.
User-Denable Function Buttons
Nine user-denable function buttons and one Rotary Encoder on the front panel allow quick access to numerous
settings and features including Input 1, Input 2, Option Input, Waveform, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, aspect ratio,
screen markers, monochrome mode, H/V delay mode, and more.
AUDIO Jack
There are two 3.5mm AUDIO jacks (one on the front panel for headphones and one on rear panel to feed an
external amplier). It is possible to utilize both the front panel headphone connector and rear panel speaker
connector simultaneously with individual volume controls. When not in menu mode, the rotary encoder on the
front panel may control the headphone and internal speaker volume.
Precision Audio Level Meters
De-embeds and displays up to 16 channels of audio using sixteen
64-segment tri-color Audio Meters with user-adjustable reference levels.
The Audio Level Meters provide numerical indicators and headroom levels,
as well as peak hold function. Audio Channel Loss Warning prevents errors
during monitoring.

12
PICTURE SUBMENU
The Picture submenu allows the user to make adjustments to Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness and
Gamma.
INPUT SUBMENU
The Input sub menu allows the user to select either the SDI-1
/ SDI-2 inputs or the Optional Input module if installed as the
source to be displayed.

Contrast
• Varies between 0 and 100 (80 is standard).
• 80 is default value with 100% gain of video signal.
Saturation
• Varies between 0 and 100 (50 is standard).
• 50 is default value with nominal color saturation.
• Setting to 0 should display as monochrome.
• Increasing value will increase color saturation.
Sharpness
• Varies between 0 and 100 (0 is standard).
• 0 is default value with no scaling artifact.
Gamma
• Varies between 1.0 and 3.0 with 0.1 steps.
• If White Balance is set to User Mode, changing gamma will have no effect.
COLOR SUBMENU
The Color submenu allows the user to access to the Color management controls.
■ Color Matrix
Auto
• System automatically selects correct matrix.
• Typically, 601 for SD Formats, 709 for HD Formats.
RGB
• User can manually set to RGB.
• RGB should be used with GBR422 systems.
601
• Conforms to ITU-R BT.601 matrix.
709
• Conforms to ITU-R BT.709 matrix.
■ Color Temp
Use this setting to choose between color temperature presets:
• D65 (6500K). Conforms to CIE D65 White Point. x = 0.3127, y = 0.3290
• D93 (9300K). Conforms to Japanese D93 White Point. x = 0.2830 y = 0.2980
• USER (Adjustable Color Bias and Gain)
• CAL D65/D93
• CAL D65
• CAL D93
■ RGB Bias and Gain
Select this submenu to ne-tune the monitor’s color balance (R, G, B) or execute the One Button Auto White
Balance function. The color calibration procedure is described at the rear of this manual. Fine-tuning the monitor’s
color balance (R, G, B) should only be done by someone experienced with video engineering, as this will alter
the overall color shading of the screen. The purpose is to allow color matching to other types of monitors and/or
displays. NOTE: The Color Temperature preset will automatically switch to CUSTOM when Color Bias or Gain
settings are adjusted. It is normal for color bias adjustments to be very subtle. When selecting the RGB Bias and
Gain submenus, changes to Gain and Bias will be seen in real time. Once the proper level is achieved, the user must
save this setting by pressing the RotoMenu encoder. If the user leaves the setting menu before saving, the value will
return to the original setting.
13
Brightness
• Varies between 0 and 100 (50 is standard).
• 50 is default value with standard black level.
• Increasing brightness level allows user to see BTB (Blacker-than-Black).

SCREEN SUBMENU
■ Scan
Normal (Zero Scan)
• Whole picture should be visible without any cropping.
• When in normal mode, it should not see non-active
areas such as SAV, EAV.
Over (End-User TV Production Scan)
• 5% of the picture is cropped and zoomed to ll the screen.
• After cropping, it will maintain correct aspect ratio and
center.
Zoom
• When in zoom mode, the center portion of the picture is
magnied to ll the screen by approximately 4x.
■ Aspect Ratio Settings
Use to switch between Full Screen, 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
The OR-841-HDSDI monitor has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 RGB pixels, so incoming images are
automatically scaled to t the screen:
• In Auto mode, images are displayed in their native Aspect Ratio. SD is normally 4:3 / HD normally 16:9.
• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to ll the maximum 4:3 portion of the screen (1024 x 768), with black
bars lling the remainder of the screen, regardless of its original format.
• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to ll the maximum 16:9 portion of the screen (1024 x 576) regardless of
its original format.
■ Mono / Color
Use the Mono / Color modes for monitor calibration or to analyze individual color components of an image.
• RGB = displays all three colors (Normal display)
• Mono = displays as monochrome
• Red Channel = displays red channel only
• Green Channel = displays green channel only
• Blue Channel = displays blue channel only
• R+G = Red + Green
• R+B = Red + Blue
• G+B = Green + Blue
4:3 Mode with 16:9 source or
native 4:3 in AUTO mode.
■ H/V Delay
