MGP 464 • Introduction
PRELIMINARY
3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video and 2:2 film detection for PAL — These
advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and
sharpness for video sources that originated from film.
When lm is converted to NTSC video, the lm frame rate has to be matched
to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other
image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on
film-source video.
The MGP 464’s advanced lm mode processing recognizes signals that
originated from lm. The MGP then applies video processing algorithms
that optimize the conversion of video made in the 3:2 pulldown process. This
results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines.
A similar process, 2:2 film detection, is used for PAL film-source video.
Background image capture, save, and recall — Background Capture enables you
to capture and save the image currently on the output screen. You can then
recall the captured image and display it as a background later.
Auto Image
™
— Auto Image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the image
to the scaled output rate, filling the window.
Remote operation — The MGP 464 can be operated remotely via the RS-232/422
interface using the Windows-based control software or SIS commands, or via
the Ethernet interface using the embedded Web pages, SIS commands, or the
Windows-based control software.
Rack mounting — The 2U high and full rack wide metal enclosure can be rack
mounted using the included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — Locks the front panel controls to
prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings.
RGB and video scaling — All sources are scaled to a single output rate.
