S-video. and component video sources; live background input on DVI; and optional inputs - four DVI-D or two DVI-D and two HD-SDI
    Outputs: Scaled picture-in-picture output on DVI-D and BNCs as RGBHV. RGBS. RGsB. or HD component video
    RGB. HDTV component video. and DVI output — The MGP 464 simultaneously outputs analog RGB computer-video or HDTV component video signals and digital DVI. for compatibility with virtually any display device.
    Optional DVI and HD-SDI inputs — The MGP 464 is available with four DVI inputs. or with two DVI inputs and two HD-SDI inputs. These inputs enable easy integration of digital video sources into AV systems. and together with the DVI output. allow the MGP 464 to operate within an all-digital video system. The HD-SDI-equipped MGP 464 complies with SMPTE 292M and ITU-R BT.1120 standards for high definition digital video.
    Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200. including HDTV 1080p/60
    Picture-in-picture adjustments for window positioning. sizing. zoom. and priority; background and window border color selection
    Graphic Still Store enables use of screen captures or uploaded graphics as background images — A powerful feature that enables screen captures of the current output. or uploaded BMP bitmap graphics. to be stored in memory. Images stored on the MGP 464 can be downloaded to a PC as BMP files for archiving.
    Background images can be used to create themed multimedia presentations — An image stored in the Graphic Still Store memory can be displayed as a background to the four video or graphic windows. creating a themed multimedia presentation. The unit can store up to six full screen high resolution images. offering an easy way to display frequently used images such as a company logo.
    Live video background from a dedicated DVI source — In addition to Graphic Still Store. live. full-motion. high resolution computer-video or HDTV from a DVI source can be used as a background to any presentation. The DVI background input is also useful in cascading two or three MGP 464 or MGP 462xi units to create large-scale displays with six to 12 windows.
    EDID Emulation provides selectable resolutions and refresh rates to ensure reliable operation — The MGP 464 provides a means for specifying the rate of the DVI input. ensuring proper communication with the video source.
    Cascade MGP 462xi or MGP 464 units for additional windows — Two or three MGP 462xi or MGP 464 units can be cascaded to create large-scale displays with six to 12 windows.
    Window transition effects including dissolves. wipes. and cuts — Windows can be transitioned into and out of the image using dissolves. wipes. and simple cuts. resulting in smooth. professional presentations.
    Virtual video inputs allow wide-ranging combinations of composite video. S-video. and standard definition component video sources — Up to 15 virtual video inputs are available for standard definition component video. S-video. and composite video. The virtual video inputs accept up to 15 composite video sources. up to five component video sources. up to five S-video or five composite video connections. or wide-ranging combinations of all three formats to suit the requirements of various applications.
    True 19x4 input matrix switcher — A built-in 19 input. four output matrix switcher allows any input signal source to be routed to any. or all. on-screen windows. This provides total flexibility in creating. adapting. and controlling multi-window presentations.
    Auto-Image™ setup — The MGP 464 automatically optimizes the image to the scaled output rate. eliminating complex set-up procedures.
    Image freeze control — Any image in a picture-in-picture window can be frozen via the front panel. RS-232 or RS-422 control. or Ethernet control.
    Text overlay for window caption labeling — Each picture-in-picture window can be labeled with a text label of up to 16 characters. generated through RS-232 or RS-422 control or Ethernet control. Custom options are available for text positioning. text color. character size. translucent or color-selectable background. and text border.
    Picture controls for each window. including color. tint. brightness. contrast. and detail
    128 memory presets for multiple window configurations — A total of 128 default memory presets are available. each with factory-loaded picture-in-picture window configurations. These configurations can be customized to allow quick saving and recall of size. positioning. and priority for all windows. and can also recall a previously stored background image.
    3:2 NTSC and 2:2 PAL pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film.
    Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video signals to the windows can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode. which provides a full window display. or a FOLLOW mode. which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
    Quad standard video decoding — The MGP 464 uses a digital. four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58. NTSC 4.43. PAL. and SECAM for integration into systems worldwide.
    Internal test patterns for calibration and setup — The MGP 464 offers several test patterns. including a crop pattern. crosshatch. 16 bar grayscale. color bars. alternating pixels. ramp. white field. 4 x 4 crosshatch for use with videowalls. three film aspect ratio patterns - 1.78. 1.85. and 2.35. crop patterns for setting up side-by-side windows. and two patterns for fully populating 4:3 and 16:9 screens with 4:3 images. It also features a blue-only mode for proper setup of video color and tint levels.
    Ethernet monitoring and control — Ethernet control enables the MGP 464 to be controlled and proactively monitored over a LAN. WAN. or the Internet.
    RS-232 and RS-422 control port — Using serial commands. the MGP 464 can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows®-based control program. or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol. a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
    Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments. In lockout mode. a special button combination is required to operate the MGP 464 from the front panel.
    Rack-mountable 2U. full rack width metal enclosure with included brackets
    Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC. 50/60 Hz. international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
