Special Applications

This chapter describes some special types of applications that represent unique conditions. For the MGP 464 to operate properly in these situations, it is important that it be configured correctly. On the following pages, two application examples are described, along with their requirements for the MGP 464.

Application 1: Connecting the MGP 464 to a Matrix Switcher

When the MGP 464 is attached to a matrix switcher, such as the CrossPoint Ultra shown below, inputs 1 through 4 come to the MGP through the switcher, which supports RGB, component video, S-video, and composite video signal types.
