Datavideo TLM-170VR – 17.3" Full HD Rack-Mount Monitor with Waveform and Vector Scope

The Datavideo TLM-170VR is a 17.3" Full HD production monitor designed for rack mounting. It provides a 1920x1080 panel resolution and integrates waveform and vector scope tools for precise monitoring during production. The monitor suits live production environments and rack-based workflows.

Key features and built-in tools

This monitor includes a range of built-in monitoring functions to help you evaluate image and audio signals in real time. These functions assist camera operators and technical staff during shoots and live events.

• Waveform and vector scope for accurate luminance and chrominance analysis.
• Support column (YRGB peak) to check peak levels across channels.
• Time code display for synchronization reference.
• Audio level meter to monitor audio signal strength.
• Peaking to assist with focus adjustment.
• Zoom and pix-to-pix for critical image inspection at native resolution.
• Underscan and check field options to verify framing and color channels.
• Tally light included, making the unit suitable for live production workflows.

Inputs, outputs and signal handling

The TLM-170VR supports multiple input and output configurations, making it flexible for different signal chains and production setups. It accepts SDI and HDMI sources and provides loop-through for continued signal routing.

• 1 x 3G/HD/SD-SDI input
• 2 x HDMI inputs
• 1 x 3G/HD/SD-SDI loop through / output
• 1 x HDMI loop through

Additionally, the monitor can cross convert SDI and HDMI video signals, allowing you to mix formats in a single workflow without extra conversion equipment.

Use cases and placement

Because it is rack-mountable, the TLM-170VR fits into production racks and control rooms. The included tally light and its specialized monitoring tools make it especially useful for live production environments where real-time signal verification is critical.

Smart FAQ

Question: Which video formats and resolutions does this monitor support?
Answer: The TLM-170VR supports 3G, HD and SD formats and uses a 1920x1080 Full HD panel, so it handles common production signals used in broadcast and pro video workflows.

Question: Can I feed both SDI and HDMI sources and still monitor them simultaneously?
Answer: Yes. The monitor accepts 1 x 3G/HD/SD-SDI and 2 x HDMI inputs, plus it provides a 3G/HD/SD-SDI and an HDMI loop through for continued routing. It also supports cross conversion between SDI and HDMI signals.

Question: Is this unit suitable for live production and rack installations?
Answer: Yes. The monitor is designed for rack mounting (7U) and includes a tally light, making it well suited for live production control rooms and OB racks where real-time status and signal checks are required.

Question: What monitoring tools does the TLM-170VR provide to check image and audio quality?
Answer: The monitor includes waveform and vector scope tools, time code display, audio level meters, YRGB peak (support column), peaking, zoom, pix-to-pix, underscan, and check field functions to help you verify image and audio integrity on set or in the control room.
