MGP Series Setup Guide

The MGP Series are multi-window video signal processors that can display multiple video sources on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-by- picture format. The processors can switch among inputs as well as picture controls and presets. The available models are listed below. The MGP 464 models display up to four windows; the MGP 462xi models display one or two.

MGP 464/MGP 462xi — Standard models with BNC input connectors that accept RGB, component video, S-video, or composite video

MGP 464 DI/MGP 462xi DI — An MGP 464/462xi with a DVI input card installed, providing four DVI input connectors.

MGP 464 HD-SDI/MGP 462xi HD-SDI — An MGP 464/462xi with two HD-SDI inputs and two DVI inputs.

MGP 464W/MGP 464W DI — Designed for WindoWallvideo wall systems and available in sets of two or three processors. These models have no front panel controls and are controllable only via software. Each MGP displays up to four windows.

This guide provides procedures for installing all

MGP 464 and MGP 462xi models, and for configuring all models except the MGP 464W series. To configure the MGP 464W models (done via software only), refer to the WindoWall Console help file or the WindoWall Console Quick Reference card.

Installation

1.

Install the four rubber feet on the bottom of the

 

MGP, or mount the unit using the supplied rack

 

mounting brackets.

2.

Turn off power to the input and output devices, and

 

remove the power cords from them.

MBD 249

2U Rack Mounting Bracket (Use four lower holes.)

3. Connect the input sources to the MGP's BNC, DVI,

and/or HD-SDI input connectors. The inputs can

accept the following signal types:

DVI inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with, analog inputs 1 through 4. (However, the MGP cannot process input from two different source devices connected to DVI and BNC connectors with the same input number — for example, input 1— at the same time). The DVI inputs are available only on the MGP 464/462xi DI and HD-SDI models.

N Analog is not available on these DVI-I connectors.

HD-SDI inputs 1 and 2 — These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with, analog inputs 1 and 2. The HD-SDI inputs are only on the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI.

N Standard definition SDI is not supported on these HD-SDI inputs.

MGP Series Setup Guide (cont'd)

DVI Background input — DVI for live background video only (available on all models). The two or four MGP windows are displayed in front of this DVI image. When

a DVI background is used, the MGP output is locked to the input rate of the DVI background. This input is not scaled. Analog is not available on this DVI-I connector.

DVI BACKGROUND

NThis input connector can be used only to receive the background image. The input is not scaled or processed. To process DVI input signals, you must use the MGP 464/462xi DI or HD-SDI models.

Virtual inputs (not supported on WindoWall models) — Component video, S-video, or composite video. These virtual inputs can be configured via Windows®-based control software, SIS(Simple Instruction Set) commands, or the embedded Web pages only. In each column of connectors, you can connect inputs as follows:

Three composite video

One S-video and one composite video

NThe S-video input must be connected to the top two BNC connectors in the column (Y on top, C second).

5.

If the MGP will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote control, connect an RS-232 cable

 

from the host to the MGP’s 9-pin D RS-232/422 rear panel connector or the front panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port;

 

and/or use an RJ-45 network cable to connect the MGP’s rear panel LAN port to a network.

 

 

6.

Plug the MGP, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source, and power on all devices.

 

Front Panel Buttons (Non-WindoWall Models Only)

The MGP 464 (shown below) and MGP 462xi front panels (non-WindoWall models only) contain the following buttons to control and configure the MGP. When you press a button, the LCD panel displays the settings that you can change.

Freeze — Freeze the input in the currently selected window. To unfreeze the input, press this button again.

Inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — Select fully configurable inputs 1 through 4. On the MGP 464/462xi DI, these buttons can also select the four DVI inputs. On the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI, input buttons 1 and 2 can select the HD-SDI inputs and buttons 3 and 4 can select the DVI inputs. To mute (turn off) the input in a window, press its button twice (or once, if the button is already lit). The button flashes while the input is muted.

Virtual Inputs (5 through 19) — Select virtual inputs 5 through 19. These inputs can be configured via control software or SIS commands to accept S-video, composite video, or standard definition component video only.

Window Select — Select a window to freeze/unfreeze, mute/unmute, select an input for, or to adjust using Picture Control buttons. The MGP 464 models have four of these buttons; the MGP 462xi models have two.

Preset Recall/Save and Enter — Save the current settings to memory (preset), or recall a stored preset (up to 128).

Picture controls — (Six buttons left of the LCD screen) Adjust window and image size, brightness, range of

dark and light values (contrast), detail (sharpness), position, color, tint, and zoom. Use the horizontal ([) and vertical ({) Adjust knobs to adjust the settings shown on the left and right sides of the LCD screen, respectively.
