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.
Warranty
Marshall Electronics warranties to the first consumer that this V-LCD70XHB series LCD monitor will, under normal use,
be free from defects in workmanship and materials, when received in its original container, for a period of one year from
the purchase date. This warranty is extended to the first consumer only, and proof of purchase is necessary to honor the
warranty. If there is no proof of purchase provided with a warranty claim, Marshall Electronics reserves the right not to
honor the warranty set forth above. Therefore, labor and parts may be charged to the consumer. This warranty does not
apply to the product exterior or cosmetics. Misuse, abnormal handling, alterations or modifications in design or
construction void this warranty. It is considered normal for a minimal amount of pixels, not to exceed three, to fail on the
periphery of the display active viewing area. Marshall Electronics reserves the option to refuse service for display pixel
failure if deemed unobtrusive to effective use of the monitor by our technicians. No sales personnel of the seller or any
other person is authorized to make any warranties other than those described above, or to extend the duration of any
warranties on behalf of Marshall Electronics, beyond the time period described above. Due to constant effort to improve
products and product features, specifications may change without notice.

STANDBY modes. In the STANDBY state, the LED
on the button will illuminate bright green. In the ON
state, the LED will dimly illuminate green.
Input Select Buttons
Use the Input select buttons to select VIDEO,
YPbPr, and HDMI or 3GSDI inputs. In the case of
the V-LCD70XHB-HDA monitor, the third button will
not be available. Video standards and formats
(NTSC/PAL, etc.) are automatically detected.
User-Definable Function Buttons
Four user-definable function buttons can be used for
direct access to various settings. Functions are
assigned using the on-screen menu.
Menu Navigation Buttons

Image Adjustment Knobs
Use the image adjustment knobs to adjust
brightness, color saturation, and contrast of the
image. The status of each image adjustment
parameter is shown on the bottom left of the screen,
with values ranging from 0 to 100. Default value is
50. Tint will adjust the hue of Composite inputs only.
Power Switch
Use the hard power switch to supply power to the
monitor, and choose the input from which the
monitor draws power. The upper switch position
uses the battery adapter, the lower switch position
uses the 4-Pin XLR input, and the center position is
OFF. Battery life can be preserved by setting this
switch to the OFF position when the monitor is not in
use.
Accessory / Service Connector
This connector is for Marshall Electronics’ line of V-
LCD accessories and for monitor service. Please

■Contrast / Backlight
Use this feature to choose between controlling the Contrast of the image or the intensity of the panel’s Backlight with
the CONTRAST knob on your monitor. Note: While the Contrast control moves up and down at intervals of 1, the
Backlight control will move up and down at intervals of 2, from 0-100.
■Freeze Input
Use the Freeze function to “freeze” the current image on the screen. Select this menu item again (Unfreeze) to return
to the real-time video input.
■Image Flip
Use the Image Flip function to turn the monitor’s display 180°. Note: Both the image and all menus and On Screen
Display text will be flipped.
■Manufacturer Default
Select this menu item to reset all adjustments and menu settings to the factory default configuration.
■HDMI Color Space (HDMIPT Model Only)
Use this setting to automatically detect (Auto) or select the color space (RGB or YCrCb) of incoming HDMI video. This
should match the color space of the video output settings on your playback device. Note that this option is disabled
when viewing VESA (Computer) formats.
■HDMI Aspect Ratio ( HDMIPT Model Only)
Use this setting to automatically detect (Auto) the proper Aspect Ratio settings of incoming HDMI video. Most HD
signals will display in the 16:9 aspect ratio. SD signals (480P/576P) will display in the 4:3 aspect ratio.
■HDMI DSLR Ratio (HDMIPT Model Only)
During video recording, the most popular DSLR cameras place “pillar” boxes around the image when outputting to an
external HDMI video sink. The HDMI DSLR Ratio option allows you to size the scale of the image so that you can see
only video in the appropriate aspect ratio or only video that is being captured by the camera’s sensor.
The HDMI DSLR Ratio provides you with 3 options: 3:2, 16:9 and Full Screen.
Use the 3:2 option to scale the HDMI DSLR video output to fit the screen vertically.

■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).
