A "Future-Proof" Modular Monitoring Solution

The Marshall V-MD173 is a professional-grade 17-inch monitor that forms the backbone of Marshall's modular MD series. Designed for high-end system integration, this 6RU rackmount display is uniquely adaptable; you can easily swap or interchange video input modules in the field. This innovative approach eliminates the need to replace entire monitors when your infrastructure upgrades from analog to digital or fiber, making it an essential long-term asset for broadcast facilities and production trucks.

Critical Image Integrity and Quality Control

Engineered for technical directors and video engineers, the V-MD173 is equipped with a full suite of imaging tools. The integrated False Color filter allows for precise exposure checks, while the Pixel-to-Pixel mode and Blue Gun feature ensure your focus and color balance are flawless. Every unit also provides four user-definable function buttons on the front panel, allowing for instant access to your most-used scopes and filters without menu diving.

Advanced IMD and Tally Integration

For live production environments, the V-MD173 supports advanced IMD (In-Monitor Display) and Tally protocols. This ensures that operators and talent can see source labels and live status indicators directly on the screen, streamlining communication during multi-camera shoots. With its full-resolution panel and excellent color rendition, it serves as a reliable confidence and program monitor for both studio and field use.

Rugged Versatility and Ergonomics

The V-MD173 is as physically adaptable as it is technically advanced. The included rack ears can be tilted to accommodate different mounting heights, reducing glare and improving off-axis viewing. Whether you need it rack-mounted in a gallery, standing on a desktop for an edit suite, or on a VESA-compliant magic arm for a mobile rig, the V-MD173 provides the durability and flexibility required by modern broadcast standards.
