Input connectors: 1 × 3G-SDI, 1 × HDMI 1.4a, 1 × single-link DVI.
Output connectors: 6 × Gigabit Ethernet port, 2 × 10G optical port.
Loop output connectors: 1 × 3G-SDI LOOP, 1 × HDMI LOOP, 1 × DVI LOOP.
The MCTRL660 PRO has many industry-leading advanced technologies:
Input of ultra-high color depths, such as 10-bit/12-bit 4:4:4, with input resolutions
up to 1920×1080@60Hz, increasing color expression capabilities by 4096 times
compared to 8-bit inputs, and presenting images with rich and delicate colors,
smoother transitions, as well as clearer details.
Independent Gamma adjustment of RGB, effectively controlling image nonuniformity under low grayscale and white balance offset to improve image quality
A low latency of less than 1 frame (≤ 10 lines)
Dual working modes: working as sending card and fiber converter
One-click backup and recovery, quickly recovering previous screen
configurations to deal with sudden on-site failure.
Image flipping, making stage effect more cool and dazzling
Auto LED screen configuration
Web control
Pixel level brightness and chroma calibration
Monitoring of inputs
Multiple MCTRL660 PRO units can be cascaded.
The MCTRL660 PRO is mainly used for the rental and fixed fields, such as concerts,
live events, security monitoring centers, Olympic Games and various sports centers.

Note: 3G-SDI input sources do not support input resolution
settings.
6 Gigabit Ethernet ports
Maximum loading capacity of a single output: 650 000 pixels
Support redundancy between Ethernet ports.
10G optical ports
− Single-mode twin-core fiber: Support LC optical connectors;
wavelength: 1310 nm; transmission distance: 10 km;
OS1/OS2 recommended.
− Dual-mode twin-core fiber: Support LC optical connectors;
wavelength: 850 nm; transmission distance: 300 m;
OM3/OM4 recommended.
The maximum loading capacity of a single optical port equals to
that of all the 6 Ethernet ports.
2 OPT inputs/outputs
− The OPT1 works as the primary input or output port, and the
6 Gigabit Ethernet ports work as the corresponding output or
input ports.
− The OPT2 works as the backup input or output port of OPT1.
In the sending card mode, both OPT ports and 6 Gigabit Ethernet
ports can work as output ports to output the same image.
In the fiber converter mode, when the OPT ports work as the
input ports, the 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports work as output ports. Or,
when the 6 Gigabit Ethernet ports work as input ports, the OPT
ports work as output ports.
Connect to a monitor to monitor the inputs. The monitor output
resolution is 1920×1080@60Hz.
If the input resolution exceeds the monitor resolution, the input will
be automatically scaled in proportion and then displayed on the
monitor starting from its top left.
GENLOCK input connector
Genlock type: Blackburst
Input Genlock sync signal to ensure synchronization and same
refresh rate between the output signals of cascaded MCTRL660
PRO units and the external Genlock input signal.
