Extron electronic Multi-Graphic Processor MGP 464 Manual De Usuario

You can set up and operate the MGP 464 by using:
•  The front panel controls
•  A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive 

serial communications through either serial port or through the LAN port.  

Settings can be adjusted through the host computer using Extron’s Simple 

Instruction Set (SIS

™

) or the Windows-based control software.

•  A computer or other device using an Ethernet connection and IP protocol (Telnet 

or a Web browser).  

This chapter discusses the functions available through the front panel.  For details 

on setup and control via RS-232/RS-422, see chapter 4, “Software Configuration 

and Control”; for Ethernet, see chapter 5, “HTML Configuration and Control.”

  

 

 — Press this button to freeze the image in the currently selected 

window on the display.  The image remains frozen until the Freeze button is 

pressed again, or a different input is selected.  

  RGB/HD/Video Inputs selection buttons — Press these buttons to select fully 

configurable inputs 1 through 4.  On the MGP 464 DI model, these buttons can 

also select the four DVI inputs, depending on the unit’s input configuration.  

When one of these buttons is pressed, its input signal switches to the window 

that is currently selected.

 

When an input is selected, pressing its button again mutes the input.  The 

input’s signal turns off and the window closes.  The button flashes while the 

input remains muted.  To unmute the input, press its input button again.

 

When an input is muted or unmuted, the window in which it was displayed 

opens or closes with the currently selected window transition effect.  The 

Window Configuration menu lets you select a transition effect (e.g., dissolve, 

curtain, or square wipe) with which the window will open or close (the 

default effect is cut).  See “Window Configuration menu,” later in this chapter.  

  Virtual video input selection buttons — Press these buttons to select inputs 

5 through 19.  These inputs can be configured to accept standard definition 

component video, S-video, or composite video signals only.  

 

These inputs are referred to as “virtual” inputs because they can be configured 

as a variety of combinations of component, S-video, and composite video 

through SIS commands, the Windows-based control software, or the MGP 464 

Web pages.  They cannot be configured via the front panel.
