IDT announces the release of In-Monitor Display LCD panels from Marshall Electronics

Image Design Technology (IDT) has today announced the introduction of the industry's first full line-up of LCD panels with In-Monitor Display (IMD) functionality from Marshall Electronics.

Specially designed for post production houses, broadcasters and mobile units, the LCD panels are a cost-effective ‘all-in-one’ solution that allows information such as video time codes and tallies to be displayed on screen.  In comparison to some systems which rely on a separate unit for its IMD input, this new series is fully-integrated allowing for more exact and timely running updates.

The internal IMD functionality means that users are rapidly alerted to changes or problems that might occur with transmission. For example, if audio drops out when broadcasting, sensitive audio presence indicators will light up on screen in order to notify the controller. Unlike many other LCDs, the Marshall Electronics range is also rack mountable, saving precious space.

According to Gerry Wilkins, Managing Director, IDT, the Marshall Electronics’ product line-up has grown to meet the demands of customers by providing a product that is both professional and reliable.

“There has been an increasing demand for LCD panels from broadcast, video, film, news and multimedia professionals who require a high quality transmission with the flexibility of a product that incorporates a broad range of inputs.”

“We saw a gap in the Australian market to provide high-quality LCD panels with IMD that were available at a more accessible price-point. The Marshall Electronics range will fill this gap and we envisage our resellers to be very pleased with the competitiveness of the range”.

Marshall's IMD monitors provide a perfect solution for large Video Wall applications and systems. They can also be used as standalone displays with HDSDI loop-through. The cost effective range is easily integrated and features on-screen Video Time Code, three-color "Soft" Tallies, and Audio Presence Indicator.  These displays also include Marshall’s new RotoMenu™ feature which allows fast, direct, and easy menu navigation with just a single digital rotary switch.

V-R653-IMD-TE : 3 x 6.5” rack mounted monitor set with HD/SDI input.
