A) Mechanical buttons

• Standard MV-switchmount with 8 buttons.

• Custom made switchmount for 1-8 buttons when connected to the buttons connector

CN6 via the standard switchmount cable.

• Custom made switchmount kit for 1-8 buttons when connected to the Remote Ext.

socket (CN5) for alternative remote control buttons.

B) Touch screen segments

• The MV-Flash M3+ when connected with a LCD interface controller can output videos

on to LCD screen. Button control can be performed via touch screen for panel sizes of

6.4”, 7.9”, 10.4”, and 15”

• There are one types of button pattern layouts on the touch screen available: 8 buttons

for the 6.4”, 7.9”, 10.4” and 15” panels. (For any special button layout, please contact
local sales office.)

Fig.1 8-buttons for LCD screen sizes 6.4”, 7.9”, 10.4”, 15”

C) Button function settings

• Whether the buttons are of the mechanical type (on the standard switchmount or

custom made) or the touch screen segment type, each button function can be
programmed with the DV Studio Advanced software program to perform a VCD
player mode function or specific track select function. (See DV Studio Advanced
user manual).

• The DV Studio Advanced software program is separately provided

CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect parts of the system when the system is powered up
as this may cause serious damage.

CONNECTION – Connection and usage are straightforward. However, care needs to be
taken with the following:

• Ensuring parts have been correctly connected – both power & signal considerations.

• Checking that all switches and jumpers are set correctly.

• The input signal is compatible.

• Legal & safety requirements have been met.

• If you are using supplied cables & accessories, ensure they are correct for the model

of video monitor.

• If you are making your own cables & connectors refer carefully to the video monitor

specifications and the “Connectors, Pin outs & Jumpers” section in this user guide to
ensure the correct pin-to-pin wiring.

Basic connection for MV-FLASH M3+ :

• Connect the keys pad to CN5 (if required)

• Set correct switch (S1) settings. (e.g. PAL/NTSC switch)

• Connect the video and audio ext. cables from the MV-FLASH M3+ to the AV monitor.

• Connect the power supply (DC 12V @ 1.2A minimum. - ensure correct + & -

orientation) to the controller power input (PP1).

• Connect the on/off switch cable (p/n:4266804-01) or short Pin1-2 at S3 for “Auto

power on”

4 General Notes

The MV-FLASH M3+ is designed for use with Video Monitors and other analogue signal
input displays. Here are some notes for correct use:

• Preparation - Before you proceed, please familiarize yourself with the various

connectors, jacks, switches and function buttons of the MV-FLASH M3+ unit (see the
‘System Design’ diagram).

• The unit - Handle the unit with care; any knocking may cause components to come

loose and disconnect. Operate in a cool and dry place.

• Power Input: 12V DC, 1.2A (minimum) is required; this should be a regulated supply.

• Digital Video - use MPEG-1/2* video encoded at Video-CD standard. (See “Content

Creation Guide” for proper encoding rate.)

* For MPEG-2 video, the encoding rate is limited to 5Mb/s (in normal CF card)

• Audio & Video output - Video - displays PAL & NTSC signals with either Composite,

S-video or Component signal. The PAL/NTSC switch should be set correctly. Audio ­Stereo output. Volume is controlled by the switch mount buttons.

• Remote Ext. - Using the standard switch mount (p/n: 4161013-00) - 8 momentary

buttons for OSD config and video playback control (standard functions (in simple play
mode) being : Play, Stop, Pause, Next Track, Volume decrease, Volume increase,
Mute). An optional function control device is a custom-made switch mount connected
to the switches and buttons connector (CN6) with a maximum of 8 momentary buttons

• Remote Ext. cable - The cables (p/n: 4266318-00) to the switches and buttons

connector should be of suitable quality and length so that impedance does not affect
performance. Generally lengths up to 1 meter (3 feet) should be acceptable.

• LED (LED1) - The power LED indicator shows power is being supplied to the MV-

FLASH M3+. The Status LED indicates the status of CF card.

• RS-232 serial port (option)– A add-on board (p/n:4160113-10) and RS-232 cable

(p/n: 4268912-00) are required. The serial port only supports barcode scanner.

• USB – USB Client. Connect to PC or Notebook for content update without removing

the CF card.

• VGA out – A extend cable (p/n: 4268910-00) is required. The VGA resolution is

support 640x480.

• Service & Warranty: Warranty is invalidated if the unit is dismantled in any way. The

unit is not user serviceable or repairable.

CAUTION: do not attempt to remove any part of the casing or internal parts.
