Installation Overview
The MGP Series processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices
simultaneously, and up to two output devices. Follow these steps to install the
MGP:
1
Install the four rubber feet on the bottom of the MGP, or mount the unit using
the supplied rack mounting brackets. See “ Mounting the MGP ”, below.
2
Turn off power to the input and output devices and remove the power cords
from them.
3
Connect the input sources to the MGP’s BNC, DVI, and/or HD-SDI input
connectors. See a Inputs 1 through 4 or “ b Virtual inputs (inputs 5
through 19) ” under “Rear Panel Features”, later in this chapter.
For the MGP 464/462xi DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-I
and/or the BNC connectors as desired. For the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI,
connect up to four input sources to the two HD-SDI connectors, the two DVI-I
connectors, and/or the four BNC connectors, in any desired combination.
(Sources can be connected to DVI/HD-SDI and RGB connectors at the same
time; the MGP processes the signal for which the input is configured.)
4
Attach an output device to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output connector and/or
to the DVI-I output connector.
N Analog is not available on this DVI connector.
5
If the MGP will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote
operation, connect an RS-232 cable from the host to the processor’s 9-pin D
RS-232/422 connector on the rear panel or to the front panel 2.5 mm TRS
Config port. See “ c RS-232/422 connector ” under “Rear Panel Features”,
later in this chapter, or “ j Config port ”, in chapter 3, “Operations”.
6
If desired, connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the
MGP’s rear panel to establish a link to the network. See “ d LAN connector ”,
later in this chapter.
7 Plug the MGP, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source,
and power on all devices.
Mounting the MGP
Tabletop use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP. 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 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.
