USER MANUAL

SRM-5X3-4KH Triple 5 in Rackmount Monitors

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.
The Elvid SRM-5X3-4KH rackmount monitoring system fits three 5-inch, full HD monitors into a standard 19-inch machine rack. The LCD panels’ native 1920 x 1080 resolution provides a sharp image and facilitates precise color rendering. The monitors feature HDMI and SDI inputs with loop outputs, and their native aspect ratio of 16:9 fits most popular video formats. Both monitors have a 160° viewing angle, so no matter where you place them in a studio, location, or broadcast truck, you’ll view the picture in crisp detail.
Each monitor features 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs and loop outputs so you can view one signal on both monitors, or a separate signal on each. Easy-to-access menus let you select which of the many monitoring and broadcast tools to display on each side. An assignable function button on each monitor gives you the option of putting specific tools at your fingertips. User-supplied 3-D LUTs can be loaded via the USB port, and Ethernet software control is supported via the Ethernet port. A DE-15 Tally connector is compatible with standard tally systems for monitoring in broadcast applications. The triple monitor supports up to 8 audio channels, and headphone outputs for each panel allow you to monitor the sound from either input signal.

SETTING UP THE STUDIQVISION RACKMOUNT MONITOR

MOUNTING THE MONITOR
The StudioVision Rackmount Monitor fits into any standard 19-inch machine rack and takes up two standard rack spaces (2U).
Use standard 10-32 or M6 rack screws to attach the monitor into the rack at all four corners.
INPUT SIGNAL
The three monitors can simultaneously display different video signals or use loop-through outputs to display the same signal on both monitors.
Connect the video source to an SDI or HDMI input. Once the monitor is powered on, the picture is immediately visible. The StudioVision monitor’s image processor automatically scales the signal to fit the screen.
Attach three separate sources to each monitor:
Plug HDMI sources into the HDMI inputs 1, 2, and 3 on the rear panel.
Plug SDI sources into the SDI inputs 1, 2, and 3 on the rear panel.
View a Single Source on All Monitors:
Use one monitor to view the input video, and the others to display selected scopes. Or view the signal with different overlays on each screen.
Connect the monitor THDMI or SDI output to the monitor 2 input. Then connect the monitor 2 output to the monitor 3 input.
Important! The SRM-5X3-4KH does not support cross conversion.
The HDMI OUT plug will not output an SDI signal.
The SDI OUT connector will not output an HDMI signal
OUTPUT SIGNAL
The HDMI and SDI outputs will send unmodified video signals corresponding to their respective inputs to any downstream video equipment.
Use the outputs to daisy-chain several StudioVision Rackmount monitors.
The outputs will send an unmodified signal to downstream gear like recorders and monitors.
AUDIO
The StudioVision monitor accepts 8 channels of audio. The headphone output for each side can be set to monitor a different stereo pair of its incoming signal.
Note: The headphone jack only outputs the audio from its monitor’s incoming signal. The audio signal does not loop unless the HDMI or SDI signal is looped to the other monitor.
USB PORT
User-defined LUTs can be imported via the USB port and stored in the Usert- User6 options.
User-defined LUTs must be in .cube format, 3D size must be 17x17x17 or 33x33x33, and data and table order must be RGB. For the monitor to recognize them, they must be named User1, User2, User3, Userd, User5, or User6 and placed in the root directory of the drive. Connect a computer to the USB port on the rear panel to apply  firmware updates from Elvid when available. Firmware updates areposted on the download page at www.elvidcinema.com.
CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
Connect the StudioVision triple monitor to a LAN via the Ethernet port on the rear panel.
The StudioVision monitor uses DHCP to obtain the IP address from the network.
To manually assign an IP address to the StudioVision, see DHCP and IP Address in System Menu below.
TALLY
The tally connector accepts signals from switchers and automation systems, and you can use the StudioVision monitor to indicate the signal’s status for on- air, preview, or broadcast applications. When connected, the tally system will place a border around the active signal.
Refer to the Tally diagram, and your switcher or automation system documentation to correctly wire the included tally connector for compatibility.
