Introduction

The m70L is a 70” diagonal direct-view LCD monitor that can be wall-mounted,
ceiling mounted or mounted on a stand. The display can be portrait or landscape.
Mounting should be done so the logo is shown as below.

The m70L is only 5.8” deep. It has an aspect ratio of 1.77 (16:9). Its native resolution is
HD (1920 x 1080). It accepts a wide range of input pictures from VGA to 1080p.

With the optional Video Input Module, the m70L accepts NTSC and PAL as composite,
component, S-Video or SDI. The m70L also accepts composite SECAM and
component VGA to 1080p video inputs through the analog connection, as well as
HD-SDI input

(1080i, 720p).

Caution:

This manual is intended for use by qualified service persons and end users with
