Introduction

About the MVP 104GX

Extron’s MVP 104GX is a multi video processor featuring four inputs, three outputs, audio switching, and genlock capability. The MVP 104GX accepts up to four video inputs, both composite and S-video, and can simultaneously output all four video sources to a single output device. Each of the three outputs can display up to four discrete, scalable windows, one for every input source. This windowing feature allows the MVP 104GX to be used in various applications, including videoconferencing and security operations. The windows can be configured using both factory pattern preset and user-defined configurations that include window positioning, sizing, blanking, priority, and audio input selection.

The MVP 104GX features an LCD front panel and a menu system that are accessible through front panel buttons and RS-232/RS-422 remote commands.

MVP 104GX Features

Multiple inputs — Two inputs can be either composite (NTSC or PAL) or S-video. Two additional inputs are composite-only. All inputs have a buffered loopout available through an identical loopout port.

Any inputs must be either all NTSC or all PAL, they cannot be both.

Multiple outputs — Three outputs for simultaneous display on two composite video and one S-video devices.

Scalable windows — Up to four window images, one for each input, can be sized and positioned on each output display device. Each window can also have its own user-specified text description.

Picture controls — Horizontal and vertical sizing, positioning, contrast, brightness, tint, color, and blanking controls are available for each window.

Blanking control — Allows noise or unwanted information, such as tapehead switching and closed captioning, to be eliminated from the top, bottom, left, and right of the display.

Freeze control — Individual window images can be frozen (locked) to the current image or, using RS-232/RS-422 remote control, all window images can be frozen.

Factory patterns and user-defined window configurations — Twenty factory pattern preset window configurations (all available through the menu system or through RS-232/RS-422 commands) and 24 user-defined window configurations (8 available through the front panel buttons or all 24 available through RS-232/RS-422 commands) can be retrieved from memory.

Stereo audio switching — A 4 x 1 stereo audio switching system allows the audio input for any video input to be selected for audio output.

Executive mode — Locks out all front panel image adjustment functions and preset recalls except input selection. When executive mode is active, all image adjustments are available through RS-232/RS-422 commands.

Genlock — Allows for the seamless switching between video sources by using an external black burst signal to synchronize devices.

RS-232/RS-422 remote control — Allows third-party remote control of features and functions using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set(SIS) or Extron’s control software for Windows®.

Rack mountable — The 2U high, full rack width, metal enclosure is rack mountable.
