Product Overview
Marshall Electronics proudly presents the MD series of rack mount monitors that offer a flexible modular solution to
system integration. These new rack-mountable monitors can be configured with a variety of video inputs that can
be "swapped" or interchanged in the field based on your evolving needs and requirements. This eliminates the
need to upgrade or replace equipment when a different input or application is required. This "future proof" solution
provides flexibility and reassurance when necessary, especially in multi-monitor rack mount units.
