Installation
PRELIMINARY
Installation Overview
The MGP 464 processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices
simultaneously, and up to two output devices. Follow these steps to install the
MGP 464:
1
Disconnect power to the MGP, and turn off all other devices that will be
connected.
2
If desired, mount the MGP. See “Mounting the MGP 464,” below.
3
Attach video input devices to the MGP 464, using the four sets of BNC
connectors for the fully congurable inputs and/or the 15 BNC connectors for
the virtual inputs.
For the MGP 464 DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-I and/or
the BNC connectors as desired. For the MGP 464 HD-SDI, connect up to
four input sources to the two HD-SDI connectors, the two DVI-I connectors,
and/or the four BNC connectors, in any desired combination.
4
Connect one or two output devices to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output
connectors and/or to the DVI-I output connector.
5
If the MGP 464 will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for
remote operation, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to the processor’s 9-pin
RS-232/422 D-sub connector on the rear panel; or use the optional 9-pin
female-to-2.5 mm TRS cable to connect the host to the MGP’s front panel
RS-232 Config port.
6
Connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MGP’s rear
panel to establish a link to the network.
7
Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MGP.
Mounting the MGP 464
Tabletop use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP 464. For tabletop use,
attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the
desired location.
Rack mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation
of the MGP 464 into a rack:
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in
a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven
mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
