Maintenance
■Screen Cleaning
Periodically clean the screen surface using ammonia-free cleaning wipes (Marshall Part No. V-HWP-K). A clean micro-
fiber cloth can also be used using only non-abrasive and ammonia-free cleaning agents. Do not use paper towels.
Paper towel fibers are coarse and may scratch the surface of the polycarbonate faceplate or leave streaks on the
surface. Antistatic and fingerprint resistant cleaning agents are recommended. Do not apply excessive pressure to the
screen to avoid damaging the LCD.
■Faceplate Dusting
Dust the unit with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Dry or abrasive cloths may cause electrostatic charge on the surface,
attracting dust particles. Neutralize static electricity effects by using the recommended cleaning and polishing practice.

■Peaking Filter (Focus assist)
The Peaking Filter is used to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture. When activated, all
color will be removed from the display and a black-and-white image will remain. The internal processor will display
RED color on the screen where sharp edges appear. When the camera operator adjusts (racks) the focus control (on
the camera lens), different parts of the image will have RED colored edges. This indicates that the portion of the image
is sharp – or in focus. Final focus is achieved by racking the camera lens focus control back and forth until the desired
portion of the image has RED colored edges. Please note that this feature is most effective when the subject is
properly exposed and contains enough contrast to be processed.
■Mosquito Filter
Use this setting to filter out “Mosquito Noise” – an artifact that appears as specs around edges of objects. This artifact
is the result of video that has been compressed at some point. Video sources from DVD-Players, PDA’s, Digital Cable
Boxes, Camcorders, etc. often have this artifact.

Filter Configuration Submenu
■False Colors
The V-LCD70XHB has a false color filter to aid in the setting of camera exposure. As the camera Iris is adjusted,
elements of the image will change color based on the luminance or brightness values. This enables proper exposure to
be achieved without the use of costly, complicated external equipment. To best utilize this feature, you must
understand the color chart below and have a basic understanding of camera exposure. Normally, when shooting
subjects like people, it is common practice to set exposure of faces to the equivalent of approximately 56 IRE. The
false color filter will show this area as the color PINK on the monitor. Therefore, as you increase exposure (open the
IRIS), your subject will change color as indicated on the chart: PINK, then GREY, then a few shades of YELLOW. Over
exposed subjects (above 101 IRE) on the monitor will be shown as RED. In addition, underexposed subjects will show
as DEEP-BLUE to DARK–BLUE, with clipped-blacks indicated with a FUCHSIA-like color. Lastly, the color GREEN is
used to indicate elements of the image that are approximately 45 IRE. This represents a ‘neutral’ or ‘mid-level’
exposure commonly used for objects (not people).

Use to switch between Full Screen, 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.
As the V-LCD70XHB-HDA monitor has a native resolution of 800 x 480 RGB pixels, incoming images are automatically
scaled to fit the screen:
• In Full Screen mode, images are scaled to fill the entire screen (800 x 480).
• In 4:3 mode, images are scaled to fill the center 4:3 portion of the screen (640 x 480). With a 16:9 source, images
will be centered with a black letter-box added on the left and right sides.
• In 16:9 mode, images are scaled to a 16:9 portion of the screen (800 x 450), with a black letter-box added top and
bottom.
Note: The aspect ratio setting is ignored when Pixel-to-Pixel mode is enabled.
■Pixel-to-Pixel Mode
Use this setting to enable Pixel-to-Pixel mode. You have the option of viewing the center 800 x 480 (Centered Pixel-
to-Pixel mode) or selecting any 800 x 480 area on the screen (User Pixel-to-Pixel mode). The User Pixel-to-Pixel
option is not available when the incoming image is 800 x 480 or lower - only the Centered Pixel-to-Pixel mode can be
used in this case.

This Pixel-to-Pixel mode bypasses the monitor’s internal scaling function and displays incoming images in their native
resolution and aspect ratio, with a one-to-one mapping:
• For incoming formats smaller than the native resolution of the LCD panel (800 x 480), the image will be displayed
in the center of the screen using only the necessary LCD pixels. For example, NTSC images will occupy exactly
720 x 480 pixels. The surrounding pixels will be black.
• For incoming formats exceeding 800 x 480 pixels, only the center 800 x 480 of the incoming image will displayed
occupying the whole screen, with the remainder of the picture cropped. For example, 1080i formats will both be
cropped to 800 x 480 and displayed full-screen.
Note: Pixel-to-Pixel mode disables aspect ratio control and H/V Delay.
The User Pixel-to-Pixel mode is available with High Definition (720P or greater) formats only, and is enabled in the
following way:
1. Toggle to the User option in the Pixel-to-Pixel section of the Video Configuration Menu. Press Select.
2. Using the BRIGHT and CONTRAST knobs, select the portion of the image you would like to view with scaling
turned off. The BRIGHT knob will move your selected area left and right, and the CONTRAST knob will move
your selected area up and down.
3. Press the BRIGHT or CONTRAST knob to confirm your selection. The selected portion of the screen will
automatically fill the display area.

■H/V Delay
Use this setting to enable one of three delay modes (H & V Delay, V Delay, H Delay):
• In H & V Delay mode, both horizontal sync and vertical sync are delayed, resulting in both horizontal and vertical
blanking periods being shown on the screen.
• In V Delay mode, vertical sync is delayed so that the vertical blanking period is displayed on screen.
• In H Delay mode, horizontal sync is delayed so that the horizontal blanking period is displayed on the screen.
■Underscan
Use this setting to enable or disable Underscan mode:
• When Underscan is OFF, the active portion of the video signal is displayed on the screen, with 0% overscan.
• When Underscan is ON, the image size is slightly reduced. This allows the user to clearly view the edges of the
active video area.
■NTSC Black Level
Set the NTSC Black Level according to the type of NTSC composite video input:
• 7.5 IRE: Use this setting for standard NTSC-M signals which use a 7.5 IRE setup (black level).
• 0 IRE: Use this setting for NTSC-J signals which have no setup, or a black level of 0 IRE.
Note: This setting is disabled for PAL composite input and all component/HDMI formats.
