The Datavideo TLM-170KM is the ultimate space-saving monitoring solution for Outdoor Broadcast (OB) vans, fly-packs, and crowded server rooms. While it shares the same high-end 4K panel as the rest of the TLM-170K series, the "M" designation stands for its 1 RU pull-out form factor. This allows producers to have a full-sized 17.3-inch professional monitor in environments where vertical rack space is at an absolute premium.

Maximum Detail in Minimum Space

The 3840 x 2160 IPS panel provides four times the resolution of standard Full HD monitors. With a wide ±89° viewing angle, the TLM-170KM ensures that color and contrast remain consistent even when viewed from the side—a common necessity in narrow mobile production environments. The high-contrast ratio (700:1) and 300 cd/m² brightness reveal subtle details in both bright highlights and deep shadows.

Broadcast-Grade Technical Suite

Equipped with the ScopeView toolset, the TLM-170KM acts as a high-precision technical station. Operators can use Focus Peaking, False Color, and Exposure tools to assist camera operators, while the engineering team can rely on the Waveform and Vectorscope overlays to maintain broadcast-legal signal levels. The built-in Pixel-to-Pixel and 8x Zoom features are essential for verifying focus on high-resolution 4K feeds.

Versatile I/O and Conversion

The inclusion of 12G-SDI connectivity ensures the monitor is ready for modern 4K60 productions over a single cable. Its unique cross-conversion capability allows it to act as a bridge between professional SDI cameras and HDMI-based equipment, reducing the need for external converters. This versatility, combined with the rugged pull-out tray, makes the TLM-170KM a dependable workhorse for high-end on-location productions.
