This section provides an overview of the MGP Pro Multi-Graphic Processors, including information about the following: • About this Guide • About the MGP Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processors • Features • Application Diagram

About this Guide This guide discusses how to install, configure, and operate the Extron MGP Pro Series and the multi-graphic processors. Throughout this guide, the terms “MGP,” “MGP Pro,” and “processor” are used interchangeably to refer to both the MGP 464 Pro DI and MGP 464 Pro 3G-SDI models of the products.

About the MGP Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processors The MGP Pro Series are multi-window, high resolution signal processors that can display signals from multiple video sources simultaneously on a single screen in picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture format. The MGPs combine high performance graphics scaling with customizable picture-in-picture functionality. The MGP Pro models can display up to four windows. The MGPs accept RGB, HDTV, component, S-video, and composite video signals on 4 fully-configurable inputs and 15 virtual inputs. They have 1 scaled output. The processors can switch among inputs, and provide a full range of picture controls for each window. Configurations can be saved as presets and recalled as needed. The following models are available: • MGP 464 Pro DI — This is the MGP 464 Pro with an HDMI input card installed, providing four HDMI input connectors. • MGP 464 Pro 3G-SDI — This is the MGP 464 Pro with two 3G/HD-SDI inputs and two HDMI inputs. All HDMI inputs and outputs on these models support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). All models can be controlled remotely via the serial interfaces using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the Windows-based control software, or via an Ethernet LAN using the MGP Pro embedded web pages, SIS commands, or the control software.

This section describes the installation procedures for the MGP Pro Series Multi-Graphic Processor and the connectors on the rear panel. Topics include: • Installation Overview • Rear Panel Features • Installing or Replacing Button Labels

Installation Overview The MGP Processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices simultaneously, and up to two output devices. Follow these steps to install the MGP Pro: 1. Install the four rubber feet on the bottom of the MGP Pro, or mount the unit using the supplied rack mounting brackets (see Mounting the MGP Pro on page 98). 2. Turn off power to the input and output devices and remove the power cords from them. 3. Connect the input sources to the BNC, HDMI, or 3G/HD-SDI input connectors (see A BNC inputs 1 through 4 on page 7 or B Virtual inputs (inputs 5 through 19) on page 7). 4. MGP 464 Pro DI — Connect up to four input sources to the HDMI and the BNC connectors as desired. MGP 464 Pro 3G-SDI — Connect up to four input sources to the two 3G/HD-SDI connectors, the two HDMI connectors, and the four BNC connectors, in any desired combination. Sources can be connected to HDMI, 3G/HD-SDI, and RGB connectors at the same time. The MGP processes the signal for which the input is configured. 5. Attach an output device to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output connector set, the HDMI output connector, or both. 6. If the MGP Pro will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote operation, connect an RS-232 cable from the host to the Remote RS-232/422 connector on the rear panel (see C Remote RS-232/422 connector on page 8) or to the front panel Config port (see J Config port on page 14). 7. If desired, connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MGP Pro rear panel to establish a link to the network (see D LAN connector on page 8). 8. Plug the MGP Pro, input devices, and output devices into grounded AC sources, and power on all devices.

This section describes the serial and Ethernet connections through which the Extron Simple Instruction Set commands can be issued to the MGP Pro. It also lists the commands that are available for controlling and configuring the MGP Processors. Topics include: • Control Connections • SIS Control • Windows-based Control Software The MGP Pro can be configured and controlled remotely via the following interfaces: • RS-232 or RS-422 (Simple Instruction Set [SIS] commands or Windows-based control software) • LAN (web pages, SIS commands, or Windows-based control software) This section discusses the use of the SIS commands and how to access the Windows- based control software. For instructions on using the Windows-based control software, see the MGP Series Control Program help file.

Control Connections The MGP Pro can support either RS-232 or RS-422 serial communication protocol and can operate at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates.

Serial Ports The MGP Pro has two ports for serial control, both of which enable use of SIS commands and the Windows-based control program. These serial ports can be connected to the serial port of a host device such as a computer running the Extron DataViewer utility, an RS-232 capable PDA, or a control system. This connection makes software control of the MGP Pro possible. The default protocol for these ports is: Baud rate: 9600, Data bits: 8, Stop bits: 1, Parity: None, Flow control: None For any communication program that you use, set up the connection using this protocol. • Rear panel RS-232/422 port: The rear panel 9-pin D female connector labeled Remote RS232/422 can be connected to the serial port of a host device for RS-232 or RS-422 control of the MGP Pro (see C Remote RS-232/422 connector on page 8 for the pin assignments for this port). • Front panel RS-232 Port: The front panel TRS connector labeled “Config” can be connected to a host device for RS-232 control only. An optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm cable can be ordered separately and used to connect the MGP Pro to the host serial port. For connection information for this cable, see J Config port on page 14.

This section provides procedures for accessing and using the MGP Pro embedded web pages. Topics include: • Accessing the Web Pages • Viewing System Status • Using the Configuration Pages • Using the File Management Page • Using the Background Page The MGP Pro series can be controlled and configured using HTML web pages that are accessed over a network or from a local PC connected to the MGP Pro LAN port. The MGP Pro has factory-installed HTML web pages that allow you to view and adjust IP settings, upload firmware and other files to the MGP Pro, and select a background image for the display. Access these HTML pages using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. NOTE: Administrators have access to all of the web pages and are able to make changes to settings. Users can access the pages on the System Status and Background tabs only.

Accessing the Web Pages To access the MGP Pro HTML web pages: 1. Start the web browser program. 2. Enter the MGP Pro IP address in the browser Address field. NOTE: If your local system administrators have not changed the address, use the factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, for this field. 3. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default (such as a custom page that you have uploaded to the MGP), enter a slash (/) and the name of the file to open. NOTES: • The browser Address field should display the address in the following format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/optional_file_name.html • The following characters are invalid in file names: {space} ~ @ = ` [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ and ?.

97 Reference Information

This section provides reference information on the MGP Products. Topics include: • Mounting the MGP Pro • IP Address • Updating the Firmware

Mounting the MGP Pro

Tabletop Use Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP Pro. For tabletop use, attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

Rack Mounting

UL guidelines for rack mounting The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the MGP Pro into a rack: • Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the MGP in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 ºF, +50 ºC) specified by Extron. • Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. • Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition. • Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern. • Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
