Remote Control Port (RS-232/RS-422)

section in chapter 5.

The MVP 104GX comes from the factory already configured for RS-232. To set the MVP 104GX for RS-422 operation, see “Configuring the MVP 104GX for RS-422” in the appendix.

Power up the input and output devices, then connect power to the MVP 104GX.

Audio input and output

Before connecting audio, determine whether your audio system is unbalanced or balanced. Then, follow the instructions and illustrations below to connect either unbalanced audio or balanced audio.

Wiring the audio incorrectly can damage the audio output circuits.

Genlock connections

A genlock (black burst generator) device can be connected to the MVP 104GX via the BNC connectors shown below. The genlock feature allows the MVP 104GX to be synchronized with other system components for seamless vertical interval switching between sources. See

Setting Up Genlock and Vertical Interval Switching

in this chapter.

Genlock output connector

— Connect any downstream equipment that requires genlocking to this BNC connector to route the black burst signal throughout the system in broadcast or other sync-critical applications.

Setting Up Genlock and Vertical Interval Switching

For vertical interval switching (to allow clean switching between signals from several devices during the vertical blanking period of each signal), a composite sync signal can be applied at the Genlock In connector, and also passed to another device via the Genlock Out connector.

If the genlock connectors are used only for vertical interval switching, no horizontal or subcarrier phase adjustments are required.

Genlock setup

Genlock differs from simple vertical interval switching in that an external device (a black burst generator) generates a reference sync signal for the system, and every device that uses that signal has its output signal’s horizontal and subcarrier phases adjusted to exactly match that of the generator to allow precise timing and full synchronization. Genlocked systems produce cleaner switches between inputs than do those without this type of synchronization.

An oscilloscope is required for genlock setup, and a vectorscope is recommended.

Waveform monitors of types other than a vectorscope may give the appearance that timing is adjusted correctly when it is 180 degrees out of phase, which will result in incorrect colors or picture artifacts.

All equipment in the system must be powered up and turned on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before genlock setup adjustments can be made and before the equipment is used in a genlocked application.


2-7


To synchronize the MVP 104GX’s video output with a genlock signal, follow these steps:

1

.

2

.

Power up and turn on all the devices that will use the genlock signal.

The devices must be on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before proceeding with any adjustments.

Connect the active timing source signal to the Genlock In connector on the rear panel.

.

Connect the video input signals to the MVP 104GX, as described previously in this chapter.

Connect the oscilloscope (“scope”) probe A to the Genlock Out connector.

This will provide the scope’s reference signal. In order to avoid altering the genlock signal, use the cabling configuration that will be used in the installation. Either connect the genlock signal cable from the scope to the next device in the system to be timed, or provide 75 ohm termination at the scope’s genlock output.

Connect scope probe B to the MVP 104GX’s composite video output connector.

Using the instructions for the scope you are using, set the scope to view the signals’ horizontal phases. Adjust the horizontal phase until there is no (0°) difference between the composite video output’s horizontal sync phase and the genlock signal’s horizontal phase. See

Oscilloscope displays

.

Set the scope to view the subcarrier signals. Adjust the sub phase by rotating the encoder knob until there is a zero phase difference between the genlock signal and the NTSC/PAL output.

View the horizontal phases again. If the phase difference is not zero, repeat steps 6 and 7 until the settings do not change.

9

.

Once the settings are stable, disconnect the oscilloscope, and reconnect the genlock cables.

10

. Check the display(s) for proper colors and for undesirable artifacts in the image(s). Make adjustments as necessary.

11

. If other MVP 104GXs are part of this genlock daisy chain, connect the oscilloscope to each device, and repeat this procedure.

Oscilloscope displays

What you see on the oscilloscope while adjusting the MVP 104GX to match the genlock signal depends on the type of signal used, the type of oscilloscope, and the procedure the scope requires. This section shows some examples of oscilloscope displays.

Figure 2-6

below shows the genlock input signal (top) and an out-of-alignment NTSC composite sync output signal (bottom) displayed on a waveform monitor to check for alignment. When the phases are aligned, the wave peaks on the bottom waveform should line up with those in the reference signal above it.

With this method there is no way to know if the signals are 180º out of phase. A delayed sweep on a time-based scope would allow a more accurate display of the input and output signal phase relationships.

Figure 2-6 — Superimposed waveforms

A vectorscope is more accurate than a waveform monitor.

Figure 2-7

shows an example of a vectorscope display when the horizontal phase is adjusted to align it with the burst (genlock) vector. Adjust the horizontal phase by rotating the encoder knob until the difference between the two vectors is 0º. This example shows black burst only (with no color). The burst vector is pointing to the left from the center.

Remote Control Port (RS-232/RS-422)

The MVP 104GX RS-232/RS-422 port connector is used to connect to a host or external controlling device, such as a computer or control system which can generate the proper command codes and recognize the MVP 104GX responses.

5 1 RS-232/RS-422 REMOTE 9 6 DB9 Pin Locations Female

The MVP 104GX comes from the factory configured for RS-232. To set the MVP 104GX for RS-422 operation, see “Configuring the MVP 104GX for RS-422” in the appendix.

The RS-232/RS-422 connector is a 9-pin D female (see illustration above) with the following pin designations:

The protocol is 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

Commands and responses for programming the MVP 104GX from a host system connected to the RS-232/RS-422 port are listed on the following pages.

Host-to-MVP 104GX Communications

The MVP 104GX accepts SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set™) commands through the RS-232/RS-422 port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each MVP 104GX response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

MVP 104GX-initiated messages

When a local event occurs, such as a front panel operation, the MVP 104GX responds by sending a message to the host. The MVP 104GX initiated messages are listed below (underlined).

(c) Copyright 2000, Extron Electronics, MVP 104GX, Vx.xx

MVP 104GX Programmer’s Guide

The copyright message is initiated by the MVP 104GX when it is first powered on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.

RECONFIG The Reconfig message is initiated by the MVP 104GX when a local event takes place, such as a front panel operation. The MVP responds by sending an unsolicited response (Reconfig##) to the Host. See

MVP 104GX-generated unsolicited responses

at the end of the command/response table.

Using the command/response table

The command/response table is shown on the following pages. Lower case characters are acceptable in the command field only where indicated.
