Window and input presets — Window presets save sizing, positioning, and
priority information. Input presets save input signal type information and
picture control settings.
Window transition effects — 6 types of window transition effects (22 different
effects altogether) seamlessly mute and unmute (close and open) the
4 windows.
Freeze control — Freeze control freezes (locks) a window to the current image.
3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video and 2:2 film detection for PAL — These
advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and
sharpness for video sources that originated from film.
When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched
to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other
image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on
film-source video.
The MGP’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated
from film. 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.
Background image capture, save, and recall — Background Capture enables you
to capture and save the image currently on the output screen. You can then
recall the captured image and display it as a background later.
Auto Image ™ — Auto Image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the image
to the scaled output rate, filling the window.
Remote operation — The MGP can be operated remotely via the serial interfaces
using the Windows-based control software or SIS commands, or via the
Ethernet interface using the embedded Web pages, SIS commands, or the
Windows-based control software.
Rack mounting — The 2U high and full rack wide metal enclosure can be rack
mounted using the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — Locks the front panel controls to
prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings.
RGB and video scaling — All sources are scaled to a single output rate.
