MGP Pro Series • Operation 31
Background Color submenu
Rotate either Adjust knob to select a background color for the output screen. Options are
NONE, RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE, MAGENTA, CYAN, YELLOW, STORED-IMAGE, LIVE BKG, and
USER DEFINED.
• NONE, the default setting, produces a black background.
• STORED-IMAGE is the saved background that was most recently recalled. Select this
option if you want to return to the recalled background after having changed to a
different background color.
• LIVE BKG displays the unscaled image from the live background input as the
background on the screen. When this option is selected, the MGP Pro changes the
output rate to match that of the live background source.
The output rate remains set to the live background rate until the rate is manually
switched back to the factory default resolution. This provides clean transitions
between the live background and stored images or background colors.
NOTE: The live background input does not support the 1080i resolution.
Blue Mode submenu
Blue mode causes only sync and blue video signals to be passed to the display. This can
aid in the setup of the color and tint of video inputs on the MGP Pro. While the blue mode
submenu is displayed, rotate either Adjust knob to turn blue mode on and off.
