ikan VXF17 Overview

Ikan's VXF17 17" FHD 3G-SDI/HDMI/DVI/Component Desktop & Rackmount Monitor is equally at home in the field or the studio. It is small enough to be portable, while large enough for a small group of people to view it at the same time. It features a 17" TFT LCD screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 340 cd/m2 brightness, 450:1 contrast ratio for a sharp image, and a 110° horizontal viewing angle. It comes equipped with loop-through 3G-SDI, HDMI, component, composite, and S-Video inputs/outputs, so you can monitor your image and send the clean signal onto another monitor or record deck. An integrated DVI input accepts computer format video in addition to HD/SD video.

The VXF17 features built-in advanced display functions, such as Peaking, False Color, and Clip Guides, each one a valuable tool that the camera operator can use to check focus and exposure while shooting. The monitor also features an underscan mode, so you can shrink the image within the screen to make sure you are seeing the edges of the frame. The on-screen display simplifies navigating through the menu system.

The monitor features four function keys which you can assign as shortcuts to the menu system, as well as built-in tally capability. The monitor also incorporates a top handle, removable rackmount ears, and a table stand, all of which make it easy to carry, install into a rack, or set up as a desktop unit. The VXF17 is battery-powered, accepting 12 to 24 volts DC via the 4-pin XLR connector, or you can power it from the included AC power supply. VESA mounting holes on the back of the unit allow you to mount optional battery plates (not included) for professional-style batteries.

HD Resolution
The LCD screen features 1920 x 1200 resolution, which can display 1920 x 1080p natively, and will scale 720p to fit.
Human Interface
The monitor features four user-programmable function buttons to access frequently used functions.
Display Features
Guides
The VXF17 includes the following selectable guide frames:
    • Crosshair: Off / On
    • Guides Option: Off / 90% / 80% / 4:3
    • Guides Background: Normal / Half / Black
Peaking
Peaking highlights the sharpest (most in focus) areas of the image with a color outline. Monochrome peaking shows the image in black and white with a red peaking outline.
False Color
The False Color feature provides an under/over luminance warning by presenting the image as a series of color values representing exposure.
Clip Guides
Set the upper IRE limit on the monitor, and any part of the frame that is brighter than the set limit will flash a vivid purple.
DSLR Scaling
The DSLR Scaling function enables users to expand their DSLR camera's HDMI video signal to fill the monitor's screen if they wish. Users may choose from one of four scaling options: Normal, 3:2, 16:9, or Full-Screen. This feature is only available when viewing images via the HDMI input.
