Marshall Electronics V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB 7" LCD Field Monitor w/Sony 'B' Mount
The Marshall V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB is a durable, lightweight 7" LCD field monitor designed for use on both camcorders and video DSLRs. Equipped with a scratch-resistant, high resolution 1.2MP TFT screen that provides exceptional clarity and brightness, this HD monitor brings a new level of ease to general framing and focus-checking. Otherwise identical to the earlier '70P' monitor, the '70XP' adds several convenient new features: manual gamma adjustment via the menu, image flip, adjustable on-screen markers, and the ability to place 1/4-20 threads on any side of the monitor for more flexible mounting.
Along with its Sony 'B' mount and component/composite inputs, the V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB comes equipped with 3G/HD/SDI input--for uncompressed 1080p compatibility--plus a variety of screen formats, markers and user-configurable function buttons.
- Marshall's Professional Details
- Marshall Electronics builds their LCDs for professional applications and convenient, user-friendly operation. In addition to its high quality image, the display will accept a wide variety of input signals.
- Completely Digital
- The V-LCD-70XP-3GSDI-SB features a completely digital TFT high resolution LCD screen with 1.2 million pixels, 4-pin XLR power jack, and optical grade polycarbonate screen protection. Analog signals are digitized using advanced 10-bit processing with 4x oversampling and an adaptive 5-line comb filter.
- Automatic NTSC/PAL Recognition
- The V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB accepts both NTSC and PAL standard signals. Conveniently, the monitor automatically detects which standard it is being fed without having to push a button, flip a switch or access a menu option.
- False Color & Peaking Filters
- A sophisticated color and peaking filter system will let you run tests and do various adjustments in order to achieve very accurate color and sharpness settings according to a particular lighting and scene situation. Once these settings are locked in, you can be sure that what you see on the monitor is exactly what the camera is capturing.
- False Color Filter
- The False Color filter is used 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 test equipment.
- Peaking Filter
- 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.
- Scratch Resistant Screen
- As almost all professionals know, the field can be a rough place. The monitor's LCD incorporates a scratch-resistant protective screen, so you no longer have to worry about a stray branch leaving its mark across your picture-perfect image.

Comments about Marshall Electronics V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB 7" LCD Field Monitor w/Sony 'B' Mount:
After years of dealing with cheap stuff, I'm meticulous about choosing quality equipment. This Marshall unit is spectacular and affirms the research I did on it. The unit is designed and manufactured in the USA and the build quality is outstanding. The case features a switch for battery versus AC adapter but also a position for OFF to prevent any power drain from the battery when not in use. There is zero drain.
The XLR power supply has a nice right angle plug so the cord doesn't stick straight out and pull on the unit. Furthermore, the XLR jack can be turned 180 degrees so that the cord goes up or down depending on your mount. If all that weren't enough, there's also a full set of rock solid "Thru" BNC connectors so no matter whether you are using Component, COmposite or SDI input, the signal can be routed thru the monitor to another device. And, since they are BNC, the cables stay nicely dressed and don't wiggle out.
The picture quality is everything you'd expect from an SDI but the built-in peaking and false color features revolutionized how I set exposure and get focus. It really makes getting sharp focus a snap...actually, it's idiot proof.
The manual is concise and nicely written. It even comes with a color index sticker for the side of the monitor for the false color feature. With merely a glance to the side, you get a precise gauge of how well exposed your skin tones are versus other parts of the image.
This is a professional device with all that you need to calibrate it for professional and stunning results.

Comments about Marshall Electronics V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB 7" LCD Field Monitor w/Sony 'B' Mount:
I use this monitor along with a Sony EX3. The prime uses are review of shots on the ground after filming and to monitor air-to-ground video shot from an airplane in-progress. The screen is pretty easy to see even with changing lighting (direct sun is the most challenging but it works).
Pros

Cons

Comments about Marshall Electronics V-LCD70XP-3GSDI-SB 7" LCD Field Monitor w/Sony 'B' Mount:
Would highly recommend the Marshall 7" LCD Field Monitor for the Sony PMW-EX1. Just remember to disable the Sony i.link function before using the Marshall monitor.
