Windows-based Control Software
The MGP Series Control Program provides a convenient way to configure the inputs, output,
windows, and images in each window. It also lets you save and recall input and window
presets, and perform nearly all the other functions that can be accomplished via the front
panel controls, the SIS commands, or the embedded web pages.
The software provides the following controls to configure your MGP Pro:
•
Input configuration — Specify a name, video signal type, size in pixels of the active
video area, horizontal and vertical starting points of the total video display area, and the
pixel sampling points (pixel phase) of each of the 19 inputs for each window.
•
Output configuration — Set output resolution, refresh rate, sync polarity, and signal
type (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or YUV tri-level and bi-level), select a test pattern, and
enable or disable blue mode in order to set video color and tint levels.
•
Picture controls — Position and size the windows and the images within the windows,
zoom in or out on the images and windows, and make fine adjustments to contrast,
brightness, color, tint, and sharpness.
•
Presets — Create, save, and recall window and input presets.
•
Window configuration — Set window priority, border color, text label colors, size, and
location plus transition effects for each window of the display.
•
Background capture — Capture the entire display on the output screen and save it as
a bitmap, to be recalled and used as a window background when needed.
