Product Overview
The Orchid
OR-434
is a Quad 4.3” fully featured rack mount monitor system. The OR-434 offers built-in
Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope, Audio Bars, audio output, and several diagnostic tools. This monitor is ideal
for use in control rooms, media duplication facilities, and remote vans. The OR-434 provides a complete Audio
/Video monitoring solution for 4 HD/SD-SDI feeds when combined with a Marshall audio monitor (AR-
AM series). Each 4.3” screen is equipped with a single HD/SD-SDI input with loop-through, along with an
optional input slot which can be used for additional Component, DVI-I, or other input formats. 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 screens, easy-to-navigate onscreen menus with “joystick” control, 5
assignable function keys, adjustable color temperature, aspect ratio settings, a variety of screen markers, underscan
mode, blue-only mode, monochrome mode, H/V delay, and 7 assignable GPI inputs.
High Resolution 4.3” Widescreen Panel
The OR-434 features an all-digital TFT-MegaPixel active matrix LCD system. The LCD panel features a nominal
brightness of 200 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.
