Modero X Series

®

 Multi Preview Live

Overview

The MXA-MPL Modero X Series

®

 Multi Preview Live (

FG5968-10

) is a touch panel 

accessory that displays an HD video stream on Modero X Series Touch Panels when used in 
conjunction with a high-definition (HD) Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation Switcher or 
Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher. The MXA-MPL accepts digital video inputs over a DVI 
Multi-Format connector and converts them to a video stream. The MXP-MPL also supports 
all of the features of the MXA-MP, displaying up to 10 JPEG preview images on a Modero X 
Series touch panel. The MXA-MPL makes it easy for users to identify quickly what is 
currently being displayed by up to 10 source devices.

NOTE:

 For full functionality, the MXA-MPL may be used with the Enova series media 

switchers and Modero X Series touch panels. The MXA-MPL may not be used with 
previously released AMX touch panels or switchers.
