You can set up and operate the MGP 464 by using:
• The front panel controls
• A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive
serial communications through either serial port or through the LAN port.
Settings can be adjusted through the host computer using Extron’s Simple
Instruction Set (SIS ™ ) or the Windows-based control software.
• A computer or other device using an Ethernet connection and IP protocol (Telnet
or a Web browser).
This chapter discusses the functions available through the front panel. For details
on setup and control via RS-232/RS-422, see chapter 4, “Software Configuration
and Control”; for Ethernet, see chapter 5, “HTML Configuration and Control.”

1 Freeze button — Press this button to freeze the image in the currently selected
window on the display. The image remains frozen until the Freeze button is
pressed again, or a different input is selected.
2 RGB/HD/Video Inputs selection buttons — Press these buttons to select fully
configurable inputs 1 through 4. On the MGP 464 DI, these buttons can also
select the four DVI inputs depending on the unit’s input configuration. On
the MGP 464 HD-SDI, input buttons 1 and 2 can select the HD-SDI inputs
and buttons 3 and 4 can select the DVI inputs. When one of these buttons is
pressed, its input signal switches to the window that is currently selected.
When an input is selected, pressing its button again mutes the input. The
input’s signal turns off and the window closes. The button flashes while the
input remains muted. To unmute the input, press its input button again.
When an input is muted or unmuted, the window in which it was displayed
opens or closes with the currently selected window transition effect. The
Window Configuration menu lets you select a transition effect (e.g., dissolve,
curtain, or square wipe) with which the window will open or close (the
default effect is cut). See “Window Configuration menu,” later in this chapter.

Virtual video input selection buttons — Press these buttons to select inputs
5 through 19. These inputs can be configured to accept standard definition
component video, S-video, or composite video signals only.
These inputs are referred to as “virtual” inputs because they can be configured
as a variety of combinations of component, S-video, and composite video
through SIS commands, the Windows-based control software, or the MGP 464
Web pages. They cannot be configured via the front panel.
