User Manual
• Whether the MV-831 replaces any currently-fitted modules and their module type.
Initial Multiviewer Configuration
Each MV-831 is configured separately: The MV-831 module’s multiviewer functionality is a
separate, independent sub-system within a host router.
Typically, a new MV-831 Multiviewer will be using a default IP address (10.54.31.221,
10.54.31.226 or 10.54.31.231) on Ethernet port 1 (“1G1”). See
Ethernet Rear Panel Connectors
on page 62, Table A-12 on page 62, for default IP addresses on all network ports.
Initial configuration and set up of the MV-831 multiviewer is done via Grass Valley’s RollCall
Control Panel application. See the ‘MV-8 Series Multiviewer’ user manual, in the section about
RollCall templates and “Getting Started”.
Configuration Screens (RollCall Templates)
Following the initial configuration of the MV-831 Multiviewer, the RollCall Control Panel tool
may then be used to access RollCall templates and control various MV-831 items, including the
selection of video wall layouts, monitoring alarm status, acknowledging alarms and control of
timer widgets on the video wall.
Refer to the ‘MV-8 Series Multiviewer’ user manual for full details of the MV-831 module’s
RollCall templates and configuration information.
Video Wall Design
The layout and style of the MV-831 video walls are designed with the GV Orbit Lite software
application. Wall designs are stored as individual projects (GV Orbit projects), which are
pushed to an MV-831 for use.
Multiple wall layout designs may be generated and stored on a PC. Different wall designs can
then be pushed to the multiviewer for various MV-831 multiviewer applications.
Power supply considerations:
The Sirius router must have enough power supply capacity to power any MV-831 Integrated
Multiviewer modules being fitted.
There are many different Sirius 800 system module and power supply combinations.
Therefore, before adding an MV-831 to a Sirius 830 router, check that the configuration of
power supplies fitted to your router can supply sufficient power to the MV-831:
• See the Sirius 800 User Manual for router power requirements.
, on page 57, for MV-831 power requirements.
• Contact Grass Valley support for advice.
Note:
For information
about the design and management of MV-831
multiviewer video wall layouts with the GV Orbit Lite application,
refer to the ‘MV-8 Series Multiviewer’ user manual.
