MGP Pro Series • Introduction 2
Features
• Inputs — Four fully configurable video inputs on BNC connectors accept RGBHV
(up to 1920x1200 and 2K), HDTV component video (up to 1080p @ 60 Hz), S-video,
and composite video signals. In addition, the MGP 464 Pro and 462 Pro DI models
have four HDMI inputs, and the MGP 464 Pro and 462 Pro 3G-SDI models have two
3G/HD-SDI and two HDMI inputs.
• Virtual inputs — 15 virtual inputs can be configured through software to accept
standard definition component video, S-video, and composite video.
• Output — All MGP Pro models have one scaled output on the following:
• A set of five BNC connectors for RGB (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB) and HD component
video
• An HDMI connector for HDMI and DVI
• HDCP compliance and visual confirmation — A green screen is displayed when
HDCP encrypted content is sent to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate
visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
• Key Minder — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption
between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional
AV environments while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to
one or more displays.
• Picture controls — Picture controls allow you to adjust the size, position, brightness,
contrast, color, tint, detail, and zoom for each window.
• Window and input presets — Window presets save sizing, positioning, and priority
information. Input presets save input signal type information and picture control settings.
• Window transition effects — 6 types of window transition effects (22 different effects
altogether) seamlessly mute and unmute (close and open) the windows.
• Freeze control — Freeze control freezes (locks) a window to the current image.
• 3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video and 2:2 film detection for PAL — These
advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for
video sources that originated from film.
When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the
video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. “Jaggies” and other image artifacts
can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on film-source video.
The MGP Pro advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated
from film. The MGP Pro then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the
conversion of video made in the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed
images with sharply defined lines.
A similar process, 2:2 film detection, is used for PAL film-source video.
• Graphics still store — Screen captures and uploaded bitmap (.bmp) graphics can
be stored and used as background images. Images stored on the MGP Pro can
be downloaded to a computer as .bmp files for archiving. Up to six full screen high
resolution images can be stored in graphics still store memory.
• Background image capture, save, and recall — Background capture enables you
to capture and save the image currently on the output screen. You can then recall the
captured image and display it as a background later.
• Live Background input — An HDMI input is provided on all models as a means to
display live, full-motion high-resolution computer or HDTV video from an HDMI or DVI
source as a background. The Live Background input can be used for cascading two or
three MGP Pro units to create large-scale displays with 6 to 12 windows.
