Installation Steps
1. Mount the MGP to a rack using the pre-installed side mounting brackets. The unit has a 1U high, full rack wide enclosure.
Alternatively, attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the MGP and place the unit in the desired location.
2. Connect HDMI sources to the HDMI input connectors (inputs 1 through 4) (see gure1,
B
on the previous page).
MGP 641 xi 5K SDI only: Connect SDI sources to the 12G-SDI input connectors (
L
) (optional).
3. If desired, connect a source to the HDMI live BACKGROUND INPUT connector (
C
). The MGP 641 windows are displayed in
front of this unscaled background video source.
NOTE: You must set the output resolution to match that of the background source, or the background video is not
displayed. The refresh rates do not need to match.
4. Make the following output connections as needed:
• Connect an HDMI display to the HDMI output 1A connector (
D
).
• Connect a DTP or DTP3 endpoint, XTP matrix switcher, or HDBaseT compatible receiver to the buered DTP/XTP/HDBT
output connector 1B (
F
). For cable wiring and recommendations, see the MGP 641 xi Series User Guide available at
www.extron.com.
NOTES:
• RS-232 data can be inserted via Ethernet (see the MGP 641 xi Series User Guide or the VCS Help File).
• For 5K rates, the twisted pair output is active only if connected to a DTP3 receiver. Output resolutions of
4K @ 30 Hz and lower are supported by DTP receivers.
a. Connect a balanced or unbalanced analog audio receiving device (such as a DSP device or an amplier) to the 5-pole captive
screw AUDIO OUT connector (
J
) for 2-Ch audio from the selected input. This connector is congurable via VCS or SIS as
two discrete mono outputs or as one stereo output (see “Audio Wiring” for details).
b. If the MGP is connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote control, do one of the following:
• Connect an RS-232 cable from the host serial port to the Tx, Rx, and G pins (the remaining two pins are not used) of the
5-pole Remote RS-232 rear panel connector (
K
). The default protocol for the RS-232 port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no
parity, and 8 data bits, with no ow control.
• Connect a USB-A to USB-C cable from the host USB-A port to the MGP 641 front panel USB-C CONFIG port (see
gure3,
A
on the next page).
• Connect an RJ-45 network cable from the host Ethernet port to the MGP 641 rear panel LAN port.
5. (Optional) Connect USB devices such as a USB touchpanel, mouse, or ash drive to one or both USB-A 3.0 Devices ports for
use with the annotation function (LinkLicense required), and to save images (see gure1,
G
).
6. Connect power to the MGP by plugging a standard IEC power cord (provided) from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source
into the AC power connector (
A
).
7. Apply power to all connected devices.
Audio Wiring
Wire the audio output connectors as shown in gure 2. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the
connector.
