Input Selection
The MGP front panel contains a set of four input buttons that enable you to select
RGB, HD, and/or video (component, S-video, or composite) inputs for windows 1
through 4. It also contains 15 virtual input buttons that enable you to select only
video inputs.
Selecting an input
Before you can select an input, you must first select a window, as follows:
1
. Press the Window Select button for the window in which you want the input
to be displayed.
2 . Press the button for the input you want to display.
For example: If you have a computer connected to input 1 and you want to display
the computer’s output in window 4, press Window Select button 4, then press Input
button 1.
Muting an input
To mute the currently selected input (turn off its signal and close the window on the
display), press its Input button again. The button’s backlight blinks continuously,
which indicates that the input is muted.
When an input is muted or unmuted, the currently selected transition effect (cut,
wipe, or dissolve), if any, is used to close or open the window on the output display.
See “ Window effect submenu ” in the “Window Configuration menu” section, later
in this chapter, for information on transition effects.
To unmute the input, press its button again. The button’s backlight stops flashing
and returns to a steady light.
Menus, Configuration, and Adjustments
The MGP’s menus enable you to configure the processor. The menu navigation
buttons (Menu and Next) are located to the lower-left of the LCD screen. Press
these buttons to cycle through the available menu and submenu options.
Menu system overview
The MGP’s menu system consists of a main menu with nine options (menus). Each
of these nine menus has a set of submenus, which enable you to make desired
