About this ManualThis manual discusses how to install, congure, and operate the ExtronMGP 464 Series and the MGP 462xi Series multi-graphic processors.

Throughout this manual, the terms MGP and processor are usedinterchangeably to reer to all models o the products.

About the MGP Series Multi-Graphic ProcessorsThe MGP Series are multi-window, high resolution graphics processors that candisplay multiple video sources on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-

by-picture format. The MGPs combine high performance graphics scaling withcustomizable picture-in-picture unctionality.

The MGP 464 can display up to four windows; the MGP 462xi can display one ortwo. The MGPs accept RGB, HDTV, component, S-video, and composite videosignals on 4 fully-congurable inputs and 15 virtual inputs; and have 1 scaledoutput. The processors can switch among inputs, and provide a ull range opicture controls or each window. Congurations can be saved as presets andrecalled at need.

The ollowing models are available:

MGP 464/MGP 462xi Standard models with BNC input connectors thataccept RGB, component video, S-video, or composite video

MGP 464 DI/MGP 462xi DI An MGP 464/462xi with a DVI input cardinstalled, providing four DVI input connectors.

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

All versions can be controlled remotely via the serial interfaces using the sExtronSimple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the Windows-based control sotware,or via an Ethernet LAN using the MGPs embedded Web pages, SIS commands, or

the Windows-based control software.

FeaturesMultiple windows Up to four (MGP 464) or two (MGP 462xi) windows can

be shown on a single display simultaneously, allowing multiple video andcomputer sources to be viewed at once.

Inputs The MGP Series have four fully congurable video inputs, which acceptRGB, HDTV, component, S-video, and composite video signals. In additionto these four congurable inputs, the MGP 464/462xi DI models have fourDVI inputs and the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI have two HD-SDI and two DVIinputs.

DVI-D Background input A DVI input is provided on all models as a means todisplay live video from a DVI source as a background.

Virtual inputs 15 virtual inputs can be congured through sotware to acceptstandard denition component video, S-video, and composite video.

Output All MGP Series models have one scaled output, available both on a set ofve BNC connectors for RGB and on a DVI-I connector for DVI.

Picture controls Picture controls allow you to adjust the size, position,brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, and zoom or each window.

1-3MGP Series Introduction

Window and input presets Window presets save sizing, positioning, andpriority inormation. Input presets save input signal type inormation andpicture control settings.

Window transition eects 6 types of window transition effects (22 differenteects altogether) seamlessly mute and unmute (close and open) the4 windows.

Freeze control Freeze control reezes (locks) a window to the current image.

3:2 pulldown detection or NTSC video and 2:2 lm detection or PAL Theseadvanced lm mode processing eatures help maximize image detail andsharpness or video sources that originated rom lm.

When lm is converted to NTSC video, the lm frame rate has to be matchedto the video rame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and otherimage artiacts can result i conventional deinterlacing techniques are used onlm-source video.

The MGPs advanced lm mode processing recognizes signals that originated

from lm. The MGP then applies video processing algorithms that optimizethe conversion o video made in the 3:2 pulldown process. This results inrichly detailed images with sharply dened lines.

A similar process, 2:2 lm detection, is used or PAL lm-source video.

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

Auto ImageAuto Image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the imageto the scaled output rate, lling the window.

Remote operation The MGP can be operated remotely via the serial interfacesusing the Windows-based control software or SIS commands, or via theEthernet 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 ront panel controls toprevent accidental changes to the units settings.

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

Installation OverviewThe MGP Series processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devicessimultaneously, and up to two output devices. Follow these steps to install theMGP:

1Install the four rubber feet on the bottom of the MGP, or mount the unit usingthe supplied rack mounting brackets. See Mounting the MGP, below.

2Turn o power to the input and output devices and remove the power cordsrom them.

3Connect the input sources to the MGPs BNC, DVI, and/or HD-SDI inputconnectors. See aInputs 1 through 4 or bVirtual inputs (inputs 5through 19)under Rear Panel Features, later in this chapter.

For the MGP 464/462xi DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-Iand/or the BNC connectors as desired. For the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI,connect up to four input sources to the two HD-SDI connectors, the two DVI-Iconnectors, and/or the four BNC connectors, in any desired combination.

(Sources can be connected to DVI/HD-SDI and RGB connectors at the sametime; the MGP processes the signal for which the input is congured.)

4Attach an output device to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output connector and/orto the DVI-I output connector.

N Analog is not available on this DVI connector.

5If the MGP will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remoteoperation, connect an RS-232 cable from the host to the processors 9-pin DRS-232/422 connector on the rear panel or to the front panel 2.5 mm TRSCong port. See cRS-232/422 connector under Rear Panel Features,later in this chapter, or jCong port, in chapter 3, Operations.

6 If desired, connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on theMGPs rear panel to establish a link to the network. See dLAN connector,later in this chapter.

7 Plug the MGP, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source,and power on all devices.

Mounting the MGP

Tabletop useFour self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP. For tabletop use, attachone oot to each corner o the bottom side o the unit and place the unit in thedesired location.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines for rack mountingThe following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installationof the MGP into a rack:

Elevated operating ambient temperature I the equipment is installed ina closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature othe rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Thereore, considerinstalling the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximumambient temperature (Tma) specied by the manuacturer.

Reduced air fow Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount o airfow required or sae operation o the equipment is not compromised.


17/146

2-3MGP Series Installation

Mechanical loading Mount the equipment in the rack so that unevenmechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

Circuit overloading When connecting the equipment to the supplycircuit, consider the connection o the equipment to the supply circuit and

the eect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection andsupply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing thisconcern.

Reliable earthing (grounding) Maintain reliable grounding o rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections otherthan direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use o power strips).

Rack mounting procedureFor optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet. Mount the MGP in therack as ollows:

1. Attach the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets (part #70-155-01)to the unit, using eight o the machine screws supplied with the mounting kit.

(See the illustration below.)2. Insert the unit into the rack and align the holes in the mounting brackets with

the holes in the rack. Use four machine screws to attach the brackets to therack.

Installing or Replacing Button LabelsThe button caps are pre-labeled for your convenience by default. However, you canreplace them with button labels that you create, using the Button-Label Generatoror other button label sotware.

The button assembly consists o a clear lens cap, the button label, and a whitediuser. (See the illustrations at right and below.)

Remove the button assembly from the MGP as follows:

1. Make any desired button labels and cut them out.

2. Remove the button assembly by inserting a small,fat-bladed screwdriver between the buttons baseand the diuser to gently pry the button assemblyo the button plunger, as shown in the illustrationat right (b).

3. Locate the small corner notch on the lens cap, andslide the screwdriver between the lens cap and the

diuser. (See c in the illustration below.)4. Using a rotating motion of the screwdriver, carefully

pry the two pieces apart. (See d in the illustrationbelow.)

Auto Image menuThe Auto Image menu causes the MGP to perform an automatic image adjustmentin the selected window. Auto Image measures where the active area starts andstops, and adjusts input sampling accordingly, so that the image lls the window.

When an input is connected, the processor measures the sync frequencies ofthe incoming video source and sets the active image area, total image area, andsampling frequency according to a table stored on the MGP. If an unknown inputis connected to the MGP, the processor measures and estimates the resolution ofthe incoming video. I the processors estimate proves inaccurate, the Auto Imageunction makes measurements to more accurately set up the input sampling.

DVI BCKGD2RATE Resolution and clock o the incoming background input1 An HDTV 1080p rate specically tailored to Sharp Proessional displays (such as

the G655u).2 When DVI BCKGD is selected as the output resolution/rate, the MGP uses

the incoming DVI background input resolution and clock as the output rate.The sync type and polarity options are available for the RGB output while thebackground timings are used. If available, the output of the MGP is locked to theDVI background rate until you select a different resolution or disconnect the DVI

background input.

By default, the resolution provided in the Extended Display IdenticationData (EDID) is the last selected factory rate. To manually set the resolutioninformation provided in the EDID data, see the Set EDID information SIScommand on page 4-10.

Output Type submenuRotate either the horizontal Adjust ([) or the vertical Adjust ({) knob to selectthe output signal type required by the display device. Available signal types are

RGBHV, RGSb, RGBS, YUV bi-level and YUV tri-level. The default is RGBHV.

Sync Polarity submenuThe display device may require a particular combination of horizontal (H) andvertical (V) sync signal polarities. Rotate either the horizontal Adjust ([) or thevertical Adjust ({) knob to select the sync polarity. The options are H-V-, H+V-,H-V+, H+V+, or NA (appears when YUV Bi-lvl or YUV TriLvl is selected). Thedefault is H-V-.
