Installation
PRELIMINARY
Installation Overview
The MGP 464 processor can be connected to as many as 19 input devices
simultaneously, and two output devices. Follow these steps to install the MGP 464:
1
Disconnect power to the MGP, and turn off all other devices that will be
connected.
2
If desired, mount the MGP. See “Mounting the MGP 464,” below.
3
Attach video input devices to the MGP, using the four sets of BNC connectors
for the fully congurable inputs and/or the 15 BNC connectors for the virtual
inputs.
For the MGP 464 DI, connect up to four input sources to the DVI-I or the BNC
connectors as desired.
4
Connect one or two output devices to the RGBHV/YUV BNC output
connectors and/or to the DVI-I output connector.
5
If the MGP 464 will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for
remote operation, connect the host’s RS-232 cable to the processor’s 9-pin
RS-232/422 D-sub connector; or use the optional 9-pin female to 2.5 mm TRS
cable to connect the host to the MGP’s front panel RS-232/422 conguration
port.
6
Connect an active LAN Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MGP rear panel
to establish a link to the network.
7
Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MGP.
Mounting the MGP 464
Tabletop use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MGP 464. 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 464 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. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• 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.
