Installation

Installation Overview

The MGP 464 processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices simultaneously, and two output devices. Follow these steps to install the MGP 464:

1Disconnect power to the MGP, and turn off all other devices that will be connected.

2If desired, mount the MGP. See “Mounting the MGP 464,” below.

3Attach video input devices to the MGP, using the four sets of BNC connectors for the fully configurable inputs and/or the 15 BNC connectors for the virtual inputs.

For the MGP 464 DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-I or the BNC connectors as desired.

4Connect one or two output devices to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output connectors and/or to the DVI-I output connector.

5If the MGP 464 will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote operation, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to the processor’s 9-pin

RS-232/422 D-sub connector; or use the optional 9-pin female to 2.5 mm TRS cable to connect the host to the MGP’s front panel RS-232/422 configuration port.

6Connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MGP rear panel to establish a link to the network.

7Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MGP.

Mounting the MGP 464

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP 464. 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 464 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.

•Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
