c.

If it has not yet been selected, set the background of the second and third MGPs to

HDMI

Background

. When you do this, these two units set their output rates to the

HDMI background rate.

NOTE: The live background rate remains in effect, even when the background

is not set for

Live

Background

. This prevents any image scrambling on the

display when the system is switching between the live background source and
other background images or colors.

4.

Configure the windows on all the MGPs as follows:

a.

Mute the windows on the second and third MGPs to view the windows on the first
MGP Pro only.

b.

Set the size and position of the four windows on the first MGP Pro, either manually
or by selecting a window preset.

c.

Save the configuration for the first MGP Pro as a window preset, for future use.

d.

Unmute the windows for the second MGP Pro in the chain and configure them as
desired. Save this window configuration as a preset.

NOTE: The default presets provided with the MGP Pro have no background

selected. For the second and third MGPs in the chain, you must select

Live

Background

as the background.

e.

Repeat step

d for the third MGP Pro if appropriate.

NOTE: It is recommended that you save the window configurations on the

second and third MGPs with the same preset number. This is required if you
are using the Preset Selector software for both MGPs, because the Preset
Selector recalls the same preset number for all MGPs that have been added to
it.

See the MGP Series Control Program help file for information on using the Preset Selector.
