MGP Series Setup Guide

The MGP Series are multi-window video signal processors that can display multiple video sources on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-by- picture format. The processors can switch among inputs as well as picture controls and presets. The available models are listed below. The MGP 464 models display up to four windows; the MGP 462xi models display one or two.

•MGP 464/MGP 462xi — Standard models with BNC input connectors that accept RGB, component video, S-video, or composite video

•MGP 464 DI/MGP 462xi DI — An MGP 464/462xi with a DVI input card installed, providing four DVI input connectors.

•MGP 464 HD-SDI/MGP 462xi HD-SDI— An MGP 464/462xi with two HD-SDI inputs and two DVI inputs.

•MGP 464W/MGP 464W DI — Designed for WindoWall™ video wall systems and available in sets of two or three processors. These models have no front panel controls and are controllable only via software. Each MGP displays up to four windows.

This guide provides procedures for installing all

MGP 464 and MGP 462xi models, and for configuring all models except the MGP 464W series. To configure the MGP 464W models (done via software only), refer to the WindoWall Console help file or the WindoWall Console Quick Reference card.

DVI inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 — These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with,

analog inputs 1 through 4. (However, the MGP cannot process input from two different source devices connected to DVI and BNC connectors with the same input number — for example, input 1— at the same time). The DVI inputs are available only on the MGP 464/462xi DI and HD-SDI models.

NAnalog is not available on these DVI-I connectors.

HD-SDI inputs 1 and 2 — These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with, analog inputs 1 and 2. The HD-SDI inputs are only on the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI.

NStandard definition SDI is not supported on these HD-SDI inputs.
