Product Overview
The Orchid
OR-841-HDSDI
is a single 8.4” fully featured camera-top and field monitor system. The OR-841-
HDSDI offers built-in Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, Built In Speaker with audio outputs, and
several diagnostic tools. This monitor is ideal for use as a camera top or field camera assist monitor. The OR-841-
HDSDI is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs with switched output. Diagnostic tools include our exclusive
ClipGuide feature, 16 Tri-Color Audio Bar Graph meters with peak hold and numeric display of headroom
and peak levels, and real-time analysis of color space conversion gamut errors. Other standard features include
factory calibrated screen, easy-to-navigate onscreen menus with RotoMenu control, 9 assignable function keys,
adjustable color temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, blue-only mode, monochrome
mode, H/V delay, and 7 assignable GPI inputs.
High Resolution 8.4” Panel
The OR-841-HDSDI features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features
a nominal brightness of 400 cd/m
2
and a contrast ratio of 400:1 making each display ideal in a variety of
environments and lighting conditions.
Real-time Color Vectorscope
The built-in Vectorscope allows users to monitor color gamut range in real
time. It displays in full color and can also be displayed in various sizes,
positions, and transparency options. The Vectorscope has adjustable gain
from 1x to 5x.
Waveform monitor function
The built-in waveform monitor (which includes adjustable White and Black
clip level indicators) can be displayed in various aspect ratios, positions,
and transparency options. The Waveform Monitor not only monitors
luminance, but can also warn the user for out-of-range conditions such
as overexposure or “blacker-than-black” errors with fully user-adjustable
warning limits.
ClipGuide
The ClipGuide function operates with both the Waveform display and
Monochrome/Color picture display. Both the upper and lower ClipGuide
levels are user-adjustable in order to accurately display over-and-under
exposures during different shooting conditions. For example, the upper
ClipGuide limit may be set to 85 IRE and the lower limit to 10 IRE. With
these settings, any exposures over the set limit of 85 IRE will display red
on both the Waveform and picture (if selected). The same will be true for
blacks under 10 IRE.
Chroma monitor function
Included in the ClipGuide menu are settings for monitoring color gamut errors, which can occur in color space
conversion. Any data exceeding these values will be displayed as Yellow in the picture. The factory preset for C
limits are 16 and 240 according to ITU-R BT.709. Typically, these values should not be exceeded during normal
video production.
