Introduction
About the MVP 104GX
Extron’s MVP 104GX is a multi video processor featuring four inputs, three
outputs, audio switching, and genlock capability. The MVP 104GX accepts up to
four video inputs, both composite and S-video, and can simultaneously output all
four video sources to a single output device. Each of the three outputs can display
up to four discrete, scalable windows, one for every input source. This windowing
feature allows the MVP 104GX to be used in various applications, including
videoconferencing and security operations. The windows can be configured using
both factory pattern preset and user-defined configurations that include window
positioning, sizing, blanking, priority, and audio input selection.
The MVP 104GX features an LCD front panel and a menu system that are accessible
through front panel buttons and RS-232/RS-422 remote commands.
MVP 104GX Features
Multiple inputs — Two inputs can be either composite (NTSC or PAL) or
S-video. Two additional inputs are composite-only. All inputs have a
buffered loopout available through an identical loopout port.
Any inputs must be either all NTSC or all PAL, they cannot be both.
Multiple outputs — Three outputs for simultaneous display on two composite
video and one S-video devices.
Scalable windows — Up to four window images, one for each input, can be sized
and positioned on each output display device. Each window can also have
its own user-specified text description.
Picture controls — Horizontal and vertical sizing, positioning, contrast,
brightness, tint, color, and blanking controls are available for each window.
Blanking control — Allows noise or unwanted information, such as tapehead
switching and closed captioning, to be eliminated from the top, bottom, left,
and right of the display.
Freeze control — Individual window images can be frozen (locked) to the current
image or, using RS-232/RS-422 remote control, all window images can be
frozen.
Factory patterns and user-defined window configurations — Twenty factory
pattern preset window configurations (all available through the menu system
or through RS-232/RS-422 commands) and 24 user-defined window
configurations (8 available through the front panel buttons or all 24 available
through RS-232/RS-422 commands) can be retrieved from memory.
Stereo audio switching — A 4 x 1 stereo audio switching system allows the audio
input for any video input to be selected for audio output.
Executive mode — Locks out all front panel image adjustment functions and
preset recalls except input selection. When executive mode is active, all
image adjustments are available through RS-232/RS-422 commands.
Genlock — Allows for the seamless switching between video sources by using an
external black burst signal to synchronize devices.
RS-232/RS-422 remote control — Allows third-party remote control of features
and functions using Extron’s Simple Instruction Set ™ (SIS ™ ) or Extron’s control
software for Windows ® .
Rack mountable — The 2U high, full rack width, metal enclosure is rack
mountable.
