MGP Series • Setup Guide 2
DVI Background input — DVI for live background video only (available on all models).
The two or four MGP windows are displayed in front of this DVI image. When
a DVI background is used, the MGP output is locked to the input rate of the DVI
background. This input is not scaled. Analog is not available on this DVI-I connector.
N This input connector can be used only to receive the background image. The input is not scaled or
processed. To process DVI input signals, you must use the MGP 464/462xi DI or HD-SDI models.
Virtual inputs (not supported on WindoWall models) —
Component video, S-video, or composite video. These
virtual inputs can be configured via Windows ® -based control
software, SIS ™ (Simple Instruction Set) commands, or the
embedded Web pages only. In each column of connectors,
you can connect inputs as follows:
• Three composite video
• One S-video and one composite video
N The S-video input must be connected to the top two BNC
connectors in the column (Y on top, C second).
• One interlaced component video (connects to all three BNC connectors in the column)
4 . Attach an output device to the RGB/YUV BNC connectors (shown below) and/or to the
DVI output connector (shown at right). 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 control, connect an RS-232 cable
from the host to the MGP’s 9-pin D RS-232/422 rear panel connector or the front panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port;
and/or use an RJ-45 network cable to connect the MGP’s rear panel LAN port to a network.
6 . Plug the MGP, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source, and power on all devices.
Front Panel Buttons (Non-WindoWall Models Only)
The MGP 464 (shown below) and MGP 462xi front panels (non-WindoWall models only) contain the following buttons
to control and configure the MGP. When you press a button, the LCD panel displays the settings that you can change.
• Freeze — Freeze the input in the currently selected window. To unfreeze the input, press this button again.
• Inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — Select fully configurable inputs 1 through 4. On the MGP 464/462xi DI, these buttons can
also select the four DVI inputs. On the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI, input buttons 1 and 2 can select the HD-SDI
inputs and buttons 3 and 4 can select the DVI inputs. To mute (turn off) the input in a window, press its button
twice (or once, if the button is already lit). The button flashes while the input is muted.
• Virtual Inputs (5 through 19) — Select virtual inputs 5 through 19. These inputs can be configured via control
software or SIS commands to accept S-video, composite video, or standard definition component video only.
• Window Select — Select a window to freeze/unfreeze, mute/unmute, select an input for, or to adjust using
Picture Control buttons. The MGP 464 models have four of these buttons; the MGP 462xi models have two.
• Preset Recall/Save and Enter — Save the current settings to memory (preset), or recall a stored preset (up to 128).
• Picture controls — (Six buttons left of the LCD screen) Adjust window and image size, brightness, range of
dark and light values (contrast), detail (sharpness), position, color, tint, and zoom. Use the horizontal ( [ ) and
vertical ( { ) Adjust knobs to adjust the settings shown on the left and right sides of the LCD screen, respectively.
