Edit Video Wall Layout and Configure an Alarm
A video wall layout is edited with SAM Orbit software;
see
SAM website and MV-820 User Manual.
Perform the following steps to check some basic
functionality: editing the default video wall, setting an
alarm, and connecting SAM Orbit to a multiviewer unit.
Pull the default layout from the Multiviewer:
1. Run the SAM Orbit
application on a PC
(Orbit v2.1.10 or later).
The Orbit Initial Screen
is shown.
2. Click menu bar File > New Project.
Click “Connected Multiviewer Project”.
Browse into an empty PC folder, i.e. where the
project data is to be stored.
Note: Must be an empty folder.
Click Choose.
Click Next.
3. Set the RollCall Domain ID.
Click Search.
4. Select a multiviewer unit from
the displayed list.
Click OK.
5. Enter “admin” as Username
and as Password.
6. Click Login.
Multiviewer layout data is
pulled from the multiviewer unit,
read into SAM Orbit, and stored on the PC.
7. The SAM Orbit Project Screen is shown.
This has four large icons:
Manage Users, Themes, Walls, and Tiles.
8. Click the Walls icon. Click on Wall 1 in the
drop-down list.
The Wall Editor screen is shown for Wall 1.
To make a simple change to the multiviewer layout
and push it back to the multiviewer unit,
carry out the following steps:
Make a visible change to the wall:
9. Click on a middle wall tile to select the tile.
10. Change tile property Tile>Preferences>Type to
Analogue Clock. The tile shows a round clock face.
11. Click menu bar File > Save File to save change.
Enable a ‘Video Input Lost’ alarm:
12. Click menu bar Multiviewer > Input Alarms.
A dialog is shown with tabs:
a) Input Tab: Set Selected Input
to Input 1.
b) Alarm Tab: Scroll do wn Selected Alarm box.
Select ‘Video Input Lost’. Tick Alarm Enable.
c) Input Tab: Click Copy All.
Alarm ‘Video Input Lost’ is enabled on all inputs.
Click OK.
13. Click menu bar File > Save File to save change.
Push the modified project to the multiviewer unit:
14. Click menu bar Project > Select Multiviewer.
Enter the IP address of the multiviewer unit.
15. Click menu bar Project > Push. The modified
project is pushed to the multiviewer unit.
The MV-820 unit adopts the new wall layout and the
analogue clock is shown on multiviewer Output 1.
Provoking a ‘Video Input Lost’ alarm warning:
16. Disconnect the video signal to
MV-820 video input 1.
‘Video input loss’ is detected;
a flashing red border appears
around corresponding wall tile.
17. An alarm error message can be seen in the SAM
Orbit window: Expand the Network View Pane
multiviewer item and right-click on the Input 1 item.
A Details text window shows Input 1 status.
Red text status message appears when a
‘Video Input Loss’ alarm is triggered.
This has exercised the MV-820 with SAM Orbit, sending
out alarm status messages which Orbit is intercepting.
Tile Properties are
shown on the right
of the screen.

Fitting the MV-820 Multiviewer into a 19” Equipment Rack
The MV-820 is designed to be installed and used
in a standard 483mm (19 inch) equipment rack.
It requires a 2RU high rack-space.
MV-820 Unit Ventilation: see Figure 1.
• Caution: Always keep the MV-820 front
door closed. This ensures correct unit
ventilation and operation.
• Caution: Do not block the unit’s air intake
and exhaust holes.
• Caution: Ensure a minimum clearance at
the unit rear of 200 mm. This is essential.
• Warning: Use proper procedures to lift the
unit; it is heavy (14 kg, ~30.3 lb). Ask a
Health and Safety adviser for information
Rack-Mounting Instructions
1. Check the rack is rigid enough for the unit. Use a suitable rack tray to take the unit’s weight (see Table 1).
Note: The chassis rear will become heavier when cables are connected.
2. Position the MV-820 unit on the rack tray. Use the correct lifting procedures.
3. Open the front door by unscrewing the knurled door fasteners; then pull
the front door out approx. 2cm and then down. See Figure 2.
4. Secure the MV-820 Multiviewer chassis in the rack at each mounting
hole using 4-off M6 screws. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.
5. Close the front door by lifting it up and pushing it into the unit.
6. Secure the front door by tightening the knurled door fasteners.
