5.5 Unit Starting Up
The MV-805 is based on its server PC platform and the MV-805 IP Multiviewer software
installed on it.
5.5.1 Starting
The MV-805 unit starting procedure is similar:
1.
Push the front power button to turn on the MV-805 server unit.
The unit starts up.
The front ‘System Operating’ LED is illuminated and SSD LEDs are illuminated.
2.
The server and its operating system start up. This takes a 2 to 3 minutes.
(BIOS and Operating System start-up messages and screens will appear on any
connected console monitor.)
The unit’s front panel LAN and ‘SSD Activity’ LEDs will begin to show activity.
3.
The MV-805 multiviewer software application starts up once the OS has fully started.
5.5.2 Checking Multiviewer Output Picture
The MV-805 unit is ‘IP-in’ and ‘IP-out’. The multiviewer display outputs contain the video wall
image(s) and these are sent out in video IP streams. To view these images, some IP-to-SDI
conversion facility is required (for example, via a SAM IQMIX card).
During start-up, a splash screen may be shown, see Figure 22.
After start-up, the multiviewer display output picture is the multiviewer video wall.
New MV-805 units show the default wall, see Figure 23,
otherwise the last SAM Orbit multiviewer project Wall is shown, for example.
