Extron electronic MGP 464 HD-SDI manual Window Select Buttons, Input Selection, Selecting an input

Window Select Buttons

The MGP 464 front panel contains four Window Select buttons. Use these buttons in conjunction with the Input buttons to specify which window displays an input, or use them with the picture control buttons to specify which window/image will be adjusted.

When you select a picture control, the window whose button was previously selected is affected. (See “Picture Controls,” later in this chapter, for information on the available controls.)

To select a window, press its Window Select button, which lights. To deselect a window, press another Window Select button.

Input Selection

The MGP 464 front panel contains a set of four input buttons that enable you to select RGB, HD, and/or video (component, S-video, or composite) inputs for windows 1 through 4. It also contains 15 virtual input buttons that enable you to select only video inputs.

Selecting an input

Before you can select an input, you must first select a window, as follows:

1. Press the Window Select button for the window in which you want the input to be displayed.

2. Press the button with the number of the input you want to display.

For example: If you have a computer connected to input 1 and you want to display the computer’s output in window 4, press Window Select button 4, then press Input

button 1.

Muting an input

To mute the currently selected input (turn off its signal and close the window on the display), press its Input button again. The button’s backlight blinks continuously, which indicates that the input is muted.

When an input is muted or unmuted, the currently selected transition effect (cut,

wipe, or dissolve), if any, is used to close or open the window on the output display.

See “Window effects submenu” in the “Window Configuration menu” section, later in this chapter, for information on transition effects.

To unmute the input, press its button again. The button’s backlight stops flashing and returns to a steady light.
