descriP tion

The Extron MGP 462 and MGP 462D Dual Window Multi-Graphic Processors combine
picture-in-picture graphics processing and high performance scaling, enabling the simultaneous
display of two video or computer-video sources for compatibility with HDTV or high resolution
computer-video displays. Both MGP 462 models are ideal for use in videoconferencing,
command and control centers, conference rooms, boardrooms, distance learning, and event
staging systems.

The MGP 462 accepts various input video formats and resolutions, including composite video,
S-video, component video up to 1080p/60 HDTV, and computer-video up to 1600x1200.
Four inputs with BNC connectors are fully configurable from composite video to RGBHV. The
MGP 462 also includes an input on BNC connectors which accepts component video, S-video,
or composite video, as well as an input for S-video or composite video on a 4-pin mini DIN
or a BNC connector, respectively. An SDI - Serial Digital Interface input is available on the
MGP 462D.

For any two selected video inputs, the MGP 462 cre ate s a vari ety of customizable
picture-in-picture window configurations. Independent controls are available for each window,
including size, position, and priority. The MGP 462 includes 25 window memory presets for
quick configuration saving and recall. Additional picture controls are provided for each input,
including brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, and zoom. Fine tuning controls on the front
panel enable precise window and picture adjustments as necessary for the requirements of
the presentation.

The MGP 462 applies scaling to each selected input source, as well as 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown
for film-originated NTSC and PAL video. The output resolution is selectable to match the
native resolution of any display, including HDTV and computer-video at up to 1600x1200.
Output is available through 15-pin HD and BNC connectors as RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and
component video.

Several customization features are provided for professional-quality presentations. Windows
can appear and disappear using selectable effects including dissolves, wipes, and a simple
cut. Additionally, the input source for each window can be frozen. With Extron's exclusive
Graphic Still Store mode, screen captures of the current output can be stored for use as
presentation background images. Alternatively, BMP bitmap graphics can be uploaded from
a PC via the IP Link® port, and recalled as a background. Images stored on the MGP 462 can
be downloaded to a PC through IP Link for archival use. The MGP 462 also includes custom
colors for the picture-in-picture background and window borders, as well as text overlay for
window labeling.
