About This Manual
This manual discusses how to install, congure, and operate the Extron MGP 464
multi-graphic processor.
Throughout this manual, the terms “MGP,” “multi-graphic processor,” and
“processor” are used interchangeably to refer to the same product.
About the MGP 464 Multi-Graphic Processor
The MGP 464 is a four-window RGB and video signal processor that can display up
to four video sources on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture
format. The MGP accepts RGB, HDTV, component, S-video, and composite video
signals on four fully-configurable inputs and 15 virtual inputs; and has one scaled
output. The processor provides switching among inputs and has picture controls
and presets.
The MGP 464 DI is an MGP 464 with a DVI input card installed, providing four DVI
input connectors. Both versions can be controlled remotely via the RS-232/RS-422
interface using Special Instruction Set (SIS
control software, or via an Ethernet LAN using the MGP 464’s embedded Web
pages, SIS commands, or the Windows-based control software.

The MGP 464’s advanced lm mode processing recognizes signals that
originated from lm. The MGP then applies video processing algorithms
that optimize the conversion of video made in the 3:2 pulldown process. This
results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines.
A similar process, 2:2 film detection, is used for PAL film-source video.

Installation Overview
The MGP 464 processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices
simultaneously, and two output devices. Follow these steps to install the MGP 464:
Disconnect power to the MGP, and turn off all other devices that will be
connected.
If desired, mount the MGP. See “Mounting the MGP 464,” below.
Attach video input devices to the MGP, using the four sets of BNC connectors
for the fully congurable inputs and/or the 15 BNC connectors for the virtual
inputs.
For the MGP 464 DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-I or the BNC
connectors as desired.
Connect one or two output devices to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output
connectors and/or to the DVI-I output connector.
If the MGP 464 will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for
remote operation, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to the processor’s 9-pin
RS-232/422 D-sub connector; or use the optional 9-pin female to 2.5 mm TRS
cable to connect the host to the MGP’s front panel RS-232/422 conguration
port.
Connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MGP rear panel
to establish a link to the network.
PRELIMINARY
Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MGP.

Tabletop use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP 464. For tabletop use,
attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the
desired location.
Rack mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation
of the MGP 464 into a rack:
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven
mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

MGP 464 • Installation
MBD 249
2U Rack Mounting
Bracket (Use four
lower holes.)
• Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply
circuit, consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-
mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
Rack mounting procedure
For optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. To mount the MGP 464
in a rack,
1
. Attach the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets (part #70-155-01)
to the unit using eight machine screws supplied with the mounting kit. (See

Installing or Replacing Button Labels
The button caps are pre-labeled for your convenience
by default. However, you can replace them with button
labels that you create, using the Button-Label Generator
or other button label software.
The button assembly consists of a clear lens cap, the
button label, and a white diffuser. (See the illustrations
at right and below.) Remove the button assembly from
the MGP as follows:
Make any desired button labels and cut them out.
1.
2. Remove the button assembly by inserting a small,
at-bladed screwdriver, such as an Extron Tweeker,
between the button’s base and the diffuser to
gently pry the button assembly off the button
plunger, as shown in the drawing at right.
. Locate the small corner notch on the lens cap, and slide the screwdriver

Virtual input connector configuration examples
You can congure these virtual inputs for the desired signal types using
the Windows-based control software (see the control software help le), SIS
commands (see chapter 4, “Software Conguration and Control”), or the Web
pages (see chapter 5, “HTML Conguration and Control”). They cannot be
configured via the front panel.

MGP 464 front panel
MGP 464 • Operation
Freeze button — Press this button to freeze the image in the currently selected
window on the display. The image remains frozen until the Freeze button is
pressed again, or a different input is selected.
RGB/HD/Video Inputs selection buttons — Press these buttons to select fully
congurable inputs 1 through 4. On the MGP 464 DI model, these buttons can
also select the four DVI inputs, depending on the unit’s input conguration.
When one of these buttons is pressed, its input signal switches to the window
that is currently selected.
When an input is selected, pressing its button again mutes the input. The
input’s signal turns off and the window closes. The button flashes while the
input remains muted. To unmute the input, press its input button again.
When an input is muted or unmuted, the window in which it was displayed
opens or closes with the currently selected window transition effect. The
Window Conguration menu lets you select a transition effect (e.g., dissolve,
curtain, or square wipe) with which the window will open or close (the
default effect is cut). See “Window Conguration menu,” later in this chapter.
Virtual video input selection buttons — Press these buttons to select inputs
5 through 19. These inputs can be configured to accept standard definition
component video, S-video, or composite video signals only.
These inputs are referred to as “virtual” inputs because they can be congured
as a variety of combinations of component, S-video, and composite video
through SIS commands, the Windows-based control software, or the MGP 464
Web pages. They cannot be congured via the front panel.

The virtual input buttons are arranged in five columns of three buttons
each, reflecting the arrangement of the virtual input connectors on the
rear panel. Component video sources must be connected to all three input
connectors in a column; S-video sources must be connected to the top two
connectors in the column. Composite video sources can be plugged into any
connector in the column.
Like the buttons for the four fully configurable inputs, the virtual input
buttons light when pressed. When you press an input button connected to
a component video source, all three buttons in its column light. If you press
a button connected to an S-video source, the top two buttons in the column
light. When a composite video source is selected, only one button lights.
Window Select buttons — Press these buttons to select, activate, or adjust
one of the four windows. While a window is selected, all picture controls are
associated with it.
Window Preset buttons — Press the Preset Recall/Save and Enter buttons to
save or recall window presets. See “Window Presets,” later in this chapter, for
more information.
Picture control buttons — Press these buttons to adjust image size, position,
brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, and zoom. See “Picture Controls,” later

chapter, for more information.
Adjust knobs — Turn these horizontal and vertical Adjust knobs to adjust
picture controls and to scroll through preset memory slots and submenu
options. See “Menus, Conguration, and Adjustments,” later in this chapter,
for more information.
Menu navigation buttons — Press Menu to access the MGP 464 menu system
and step through the menus. From each menu, press Next to step through
its submenus. See “Menus, Conguration, and Adjustments,” later in this
chapter, for more information.
Config port — This configuration port on a 2.5 mm TRS connector is an
alternative to the RS-232/422 port on the MGP rear panel; however, unlike the
rear panel port, it supports only RS-232. (For a description of the rear panel
RS-232/422 port, see “Rear Panel Features” in chapter 2, “Installation”).
Both of the MGP’s serial ports are used for system conguration and
control. Commands are received through these ports from the PC, using SIS
commands or the Windows-based control software. Both serial ports can be
active at the same time.
The protocol for this configuration port is as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• Always RS-232
