eLvid SRM-17X1D 4KHS 17.3 in Rack Drawer Monitor

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.

The Elvid SRM-17X1D-4KHS rackmount monitor with HDR support is a 17.3-inch full HD monitor that’s ideal for travel, broadcast trucks, and location shoots. When it’s not in use, the monitor folds down and slides into a single rack space of a 19-inch machine rack. The LCD panel’s native 1920 × 1080 resolution provides a sharp image and facilitates precise color rendering. The monitor features HDMI and SDI inputs and outputs, and its native aspect ratio of 16:9 fits most popular video formats. The monitor has a 170° viewing angle, so no matter where you place it in a studio, location, or broadcast truck, you’ll view the picture in crisp detail.

Easy-to-access menus let you select which of the many monitoring and broadcast tools to display on each side. Three assignable function buttons give you the option of placing specific picture adjustment tools at your fingertips. Usersupplied 3D 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 monitor supports up to 16 audio channels, and a headphone output allows you to monitor the input signal from any one of the eight stereo pairs.

OVERVIEW

Overview

Overview

GETTING STARTED

MOUNTING THE MONITOR

Refer to the machine rack’s specifications for maximum weight capacity to ensure it will safely hold the monitor.

Insert the monitor into a standard 19-inch rack with the correct orientation. When extended, the monitor screen should face down and fold upward.

Use standard rack screws to mount the monitor into a 19-inch machine rack.

Important: It’s recommended to mount the monitor at the top of the rack. If it’s mounted lower down in the rack, make sure the gear that’s mounted above it doesn’t need to be accessed while the monitor is in use.

To keep the StudioVision monitor secure in the rack and protected from impacts during travel, press in and tighten the safety screws by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver.

INPUT SIGNAL

Connect the video source to an SDI or HDMI input. Once the monitor is powered on, the picture will immediately appear onscreen. The StudioVision monitor’s image processor automatically scales the signal to fit the screen.

Important: The SRM-17X1D-4KHS does not support cross conversion.

  • The HDMI Out connector will not output an SDI signal.
  • The SDI Out connector will not output an HDMI signal.

OUTPUT SIGNAL

The outputs will send an unmodified signal to downstream gear like recorders and monitors.

Use the outputs to send the signal to a recorder or to daisy-chain a second monitor and display the same signal on multiple monitors.

AUDIO

The StudioVision monitor supports 16 channels of audio. The headphone output can be set to monitor one of the eight stereo pairs of incoming signals.

USB PORT
User-defined LUTs can be imported via the USB port and stored in the User1–User6 options.

User-defined LUTs must be in .cube format, 3D size must be 17×17×17 or 33×33×33, and data and table order must be BGR. For the monitor to recognize them, they must be named User1, User2, User3, User4, 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 are posted on the download page at www.elvidcinema.com.

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

Connect the StudioVision 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 the explanation of the System/DHCP 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 pin function diagram below, and your switcher or automation system documentation to correctly wire the included tally connector for compatibility.

POWERING ON

Plug the power supply into an outlet and into the power input on the rear panel. Use the locking screw to futher secure the power supply connection.

Press the Power button
