Installation Steps
1.
Mount the MGP to a rack using the pre-installed side mounting brackets. The MGP 641 has a 1U high, full rack wide
enclosure.
Alternatively, attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the MGP and place the unit in the desired location.
2.
Connect HDMI (or DVI with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI input connectors (inputs 1 through 4) (see figure 1,
B
).
3.
If desired, connect a source to the HDMI live Background Input connector (
C
). The MGP 641 windows are displayed in front
of this unscaled background video source.
NOTE:
You must set the output resolution to match that of the background source, or the background video is not
displayed. The refresh rates do
not
need to match.
4.
Make the following output connections as needed:
z
Connect an HDMI (or DVI with an appropriate adapter) display to the HDMI output 1A connector (
D
).
z
Connect a DTP endpoint, XTP matrix switcher, or HDBaseT compatible receiver to the buffered DTP/XTP/HDBT output
connector 1B (
). For cable wiring and recommendations, see the
MGP 641 User Guide
.
NOTE:
RS-232 data can be inserted via Ethernet (see the
MGP 641 User Guide
or the
VCS Help File
).
