Extron electronic MGP 464 HD-SDI manual Preliminary

3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video and 2:2 film detection for PAL — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film.

When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on film-source video.

The MGP 464’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The MGP then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video made in the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines.

A similar process, 2:2 film detection, is used for PAL film-source video.

Background image capture, save, and recall — Background Capture enables you to capture and save the image currently on the output screen. You can then recall the captured image and display it as a background later.

Auto Image™ — Auto Image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the image to the scaled output rate, filling the window.

Remote operation — The MGP 464 can be operated remotely via the RS-232/422 interface using the Windows-based control software or SIS commands, or via the Ethernet interface using the embedded Web pages, SIS commands, or the Windows-based control software.

Rack mounting — The 2U high and full rack wide metal enclosure can be rack

mounted using the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.

Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — Locks the front panel controls to prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings.

RGB and video scaling — All sources are scaled to a single output rate.
