5 Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the unit.

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

OPERATING TEMPERATURE:	0° to +40°C (32° to 104°F)
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:	-40° to +70°C (-40° to 158°F)
HUMIDITY:	10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing

CAUTION!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.
2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.
3. The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.
4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.
5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for example, when using an extension cable or a power strip, and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the machine. To do so, remove the screws from each side of the machine (5 on each side), and replace those screws through the ear brackets.

Technical line drawing of a metal bracket assembly with bolts and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

1. Place the ears of the machine against the rack rails, and insert the proper screws (not provided) through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Note:

• In some models, the front panel may feature built-in rack ears
- Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use
• Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power
- If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from our Web site

6 Connecting the MV-5 5 Channel Multiviewer

You can use your MV-5 to switch four of the 16 inputs (four HD, four SD, four DVI, and four SDI), to four outputs (two SDI, a DVI and an HD). The four inputs are combined in a customizable format and then combined with a user-selectable background.

Always switch off the power to all devices before connecting them to your MV-5. After connecting your MV-5, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

7 Configuring and Operating the MV-5 Locally

This section describes:

• Configuring the MV-5 using the Menu (see Section 7.1)
• Operating the MV-5 using the front panel buttons (see Section 7.1.8)

When the MV-5 is powered on, the device performs a self test. If the test is successful, the Window/Input list is displayed, an example of which is shown below.

WINI WIN2 WIN3 WIN4

DVII SDI2 AnH3 SDI3

This initial state is the Main mode which is the default Window input configuration. You can control and adjust window and image geometry using the front panel buttons from the Main mode without entering the Menu. In the Main mode, pressing one of the four Windows buttons (the selected button lights yellow) gives this window the highest priority (1) and places this window of top of the other windows. All other widows retain their layer order but the priority of each drops by one.

In the Main mode, using the Inputs buttons, you can switch the input or freeze layer 1, not the other layers. Pressing the priority 1 layer Window button causes the layer to become invisible (subsequent layers all increase their priorities by 1) and the Window button no longer lights.

In the Main mode, layer priority is set by the order in which the Windows buttons are pressed.

In order to manage other layers without changing all layer priorities, you need to invoke the Adjustment mode.

Pressing any of the following buttons puts the device into the Adjustment mode:

• Layers Def
• Window Select
  • Window Size or Position
• Zoomed Size or Position
• Menu

The device remains in Adjustment mode as long as one of these buttons is lit red.

Note: In the Adjustment mode, pressing Windows buttons does not affect layer priorities, but only selects a window to adjust, that is, it makes this window active. (If the selected window was initially invisible it remains invisible while it is being adjusted.)

It is possible to modify multiple parameters immediately following one another. For example, if the Window size is modified, you can press another button immediately in order to modify the Window position. It is also possible to modify the same parameter for another Window without returning to Main mode.

To return to the Main mode (that is, the default window input configuration), press any of the buttons listed above that light red. Following this, initial window priorities are restored and the initial Window button lights only if the Window priorities were not specifically changed while in the Layer Def mode.

Using the Layer Def button, you can then set the priority of any layer (0 to make it invisible.

HDCP is the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system which is designed for protecting AV content from being copied. The DVI inputs (four for windows and one for the background) can accept HDCP protected signals. In order to meet all HDCP requirements and to support the multi-window features of the MV-5, there are various methods for handling different cases involving of input and output HDCP encrypted signals.

Using the Output Configuration Sub-menu, it is possible to select the following HDCP output modes:

1. Follow Input. If at least for one active window which carries an HDCP protected DVI input signal is selected, then on the DVI output HDCP encryption is turned on and simultaneously all others outputs (SDI and Analog) are forced to mute in order to meet HDCP license requirements. If a window with a DVI input with HDCP protection is selected, then in the case of the Main Mode of the MV-5, (that is, when the LCD shows WIN1, WIN2, WIN3, WIN4), then a small label appears to the left of WINx showing two vertically placed symbols c and p, (content protection). In order to indicate the same HDCP status for the background DVI input, a different label is used which looks like a triangle at the bottom left hand side of the LCD.

If the DVI output of the MV-5 is connected to a video acceptor that does not support HDCP, then all output formats that do not carry the HDCP protected input signal are available, but not those outputs which do carry the HDCP protected signal (for example, DVI, SDI and Analog). This output window is

either black or entirely removed from the output image depending on the setting of the parameter NO SIGNAL HANDLE MODE in the Output Configuration Sub-menu.

The Follow Input setting signifies that the output HDCP encryption is turned on (SDI and Analog are muted in this case) or off depending on the presence or absence of HDCP on all active DVI inputs, and if the sink does not support HDCP, then this window is muted (removed) from the output image.

1. Follow Output. If the video acceptor (for example, a monitor) is HDCP capable, then independently of the presence or absence of an HDCP protected input signal, HDCP encryption on the DVI output is turned on (but in this case, the SDI and analog outputs are available only if HDCP is absent on all DVI inputs).

If the video acceptor does not support HDCP, the HDCP encryption on the DVI output is turned off and simultaneously all DVI inputs become HDCP non-capable. In this case, the responsibility for content protection remains completely on the source, as it sees its video acceptor (that is, the MV-5 DVI input) as not being HDCP capable. All other outputs (SDI and analog) are available.

1. HDCP on output: ON. The HDCP encryption on the DVI output is turned on, independently of the presence or absence of HDCP protected input signals. This mode can be used to protect content created on the MV-5 from being copied on the DVI output.

2. HDCP on output: OFF. The HDCP encryption on the DVI output is turned off and simultaneously all five DVI inputs become HDCP non-capable. In this case, the responsibility for content protection remains completely on the source, as it sees its video acceptor (that is, the MV-5 DVI input) as not being HDCP capable. All other outputs (SDI and analog) are available.

7.1.8 Save Image Sub-menu

Use the Save Image sub-menu to select a window, from which to capture the currently frozen image; and to select a file name to save this image. The MV-5 has four flash memory locations that store four different image files with arbitrary resolution (up to 1920x1200). The stored image file corresponds to YC 4:2:2 structure and does not depend on any possible image and window adjustments, such as contrast, brightness, scaling, zooming and so on. It can be implemented even the window is currently invisible. The file is saved in its original input format independent of output resolution to prevent quality loss. If the image contains fast-moving objects, to get the best snapshot, freeze the image before saving it. However if not done manually, the image freezes automatically until saving is completed. Save time depends on the input resolution and varies from about 30 sec (low-resolution standards) to 60 sec (high-definition standards).

Parameter	Description	Values
Save Window 1 frozen Image as:	Select file Name to store frozen Image	No File (default)File A, B, C, D

Recall time depends on the stored image resolution and varies from about 5 sec (low-resolution standards) to 20 sec (high-definition standards). Any image can be recalled consecutively to different windows or background and can be presented there simultaneously.

Note that after powering off/on the unit, any recalled images are restored. The time of initialization after power up depends on the number of windows with recalled images and their resolution. The time can vary from 12 sec (with no recalled file), 16 sec with one PAL resolution file, 30 sec with one 1920x1080 file, to 110 sec with all windows and background recalling simultaneous HD images. All recalled images can be adjusted (contrast, color, sharpness and so on) or resized and positioned, or used for chroma-key layer.

7.2.3 Changing the Size and Aspect Ratio of a Window

You can change the size and aspect ratio of each window independently. Window size can be adjusted from 10% to 100% (full screen) of the screen size.

There are two ways to change the windows size:

• Adjusting the horizontal and vertical window size separately (thereby possibly altering the window aspect ratio).
• Locking the aspect ratio and adjusting the horizontal and vertical sizes together.

When the window aspect ratio is locked, (for example, at 100%), then any change to the window size leaves the output screen aspect ratio the same. This can be used in a situation where for example, the output monitor connected to the MV-5 has a screen aspect ratio of 16:9, (that is, 1.77) and the window aspect ratio is set to 75%. The resulting aspect ratio of this window is 1.77 × 0.75 = 1.33 (that is, 4:3). If there is a need to correctly represent a 4:3 format, (for example, PAL) on a 16:9 screen, the window aspect ratio must be set to about 75%, and visa versa; to represent HD video format (16:9) on an SDTV monitor (4:3), set the aspect ratio to about 133%.

The broad range of aspect ratio adjustment on the MV-5 allows for a wide range of different PC graphic input and output resolutions.

In addition to adjusting the size of the window, it is also possible to adjust the size of the image within the window. If a window image is not zoomed and Save Image Aspect Ratio is not active (see Section 7.2.5), then changing the window size or aspect ratio results in the window image changing its size and aspect ratio to match the window changes.

If it is necessary to retain the window image size and aspect ratio independent of any change in size or aspect ratio of the window, then turn on Save Image Aspect Ratio.

The example shown in Figure 7 illustrates image position and scaling.

Figure 7: Image Position and Scaling Example

In the example in Figure 7, “In” has been set to 300,150 as its top-left source coordinate, with a size of 750,400. “Out” has been set to 50,50 (that is, close to the

top left) with a size of 250,300. The MV-5 ensures that the whole of the source (of size 750 by 400) is scaled to the required output (of size 250 x 300).

To adjust the horizontal and vertical size of a window separately:

1. Press the Window Size button. The Window Size button lights.
2. If the Save Aspect button is lit, press the button to turn it off.
3. Press the required Window button. The selected Window button lights.
4. Use the left (◀) and right (▶) buttons to adjust the window width, and use the up (▲) and down button (▼) to adjust the window height. The size changes in real-time.
5. Press the Window Size button. The button no longer lights.

To change the size of a window and aspect ratio of a window, (for example, Window 2, size 90% and aspect ratio 80%):

1. Press the Window Size button. The Window Size button lights.
2. Press the Save Aspect button. The Save Aspect button lights.
3. Press the Windows button 2. The Windows button 2 lights.
4. Use the left (◀) and right (▶) arrow buttons to decrease or increase respectively the horizontal size until 90% is displayed.

5. Use the up (▲) and down (▼) arrow buttons to increase or decrease respectively the vertical size until 80% is displayed.

6. Press the Window Size button to save the changes.

The button no longer lights, the window size is set and the display returns to the Window/Input selection.

7.2.4 Adjusting the Position of a Window

The horizontal and vertical position of each window can be modified.

To adjust the position of a window:

1. Press the Window Position button. The Window Position button lights.
2. Select the required window by pressing one of the Windows buttons. The selected Windows button lights.
3. Use the left (◀) and right (▶) arrow buttons to move the window horizontally, and the up (▲) and down (▼) arrow buttons to move the window vertically. The display changes in real-time.
4. Press the Window Position button. The button no longer lights.

7.2.5 Zooming into an Image in a Window

If an input image contains an area that is essential and must be displayed in the output window while the rest of the image can be discarded, you can use Image Zooming to accomplish this. Image Zooming provides adjustment of image size relative to the Window size.

You can change the Image size and aspect ratio independently inside each window relative to the window size and aspect ratio. The image size (that is, the zooming) is adjustable between 100% (the Image just fits the Window) to 1000% (10 times the original Image size). If the window size or aspect ratio changes then the Image size changes in such a manner that the Image remains the same inside within the window.

There are two ways to change the Image size and aspect ratio (Zoom):

• The horizontal and vertical Image sizes (Zoom) can be adjusted separately. In this mode, the Image aspect ratio conforms to the Window; changes to the Window cause the same changes to the Image.
• Locking the Image aspect ratio while zooming the Image. To engage this mode turn on Save Image Aspect Ratio by pressing the Zoomed Size button and then pressing the Save Aspect button (the button lights red). It is then possible to adjust the Image Size (simultaneously the horizontal and vertical zoom) using only one parameter (Image Size) and the aspect ratio remains constant but can be adjusted independently. If the Aspect Ratio (by default) is set to 100% and changes are made to the Image Size, the Image aspect ratio follows that of the input-signal aspect ratio.

Note: When using the locked Image aspect ratio mode, changing the Window aspect ratio can cause essential parts of the Image to be cropped.

You can use the Crop PVW button to provide easier and more precise zooming adjustment. If this button is pressed in Main mode (the button lights red), the top-layer window is adjusted to conform to the exact size of the output screen.

Pressing any of the Window or Zoomed buttons causes the border mask of the cropped image to appear on the fitted image. It is then possible to adjust the Window or Zoomed Size and Position to see which part of the image is visible in the window and which part is to be discarded.

This function can be used only for the top-layer window. To adjust other windows in the Main mode, you must first select the required Window using the Windows buttons, that is, to move the required layer to the top.

In the event that something important suddenly appears in the image, the Crop PVW button can be used not only to see the cropping mask, but also to quickly revert to a full-screen in the window. The Crop PVW button must be pressed while the device is in Main mode. Pressing this button again returns the MV-5 to the initial windows Sizes and Positions.

To adjust the horizontal and vertical Image size (Zoom) within a Window:

1. Press the Zoomed Size button.

The Zoomed Size button lights.

1. If the Save Aspect button is lit, press it to turn it off.

2. Select the required Window by pressing the relevant Window button. The selected Window button lights.

3. Use the left (◀) and right (▶) buttons to adjust the Image width, and the up (▲) and down buttons (▼) to adjust the Image height relative to the Window width and height respectively. If required, press the Crop PVW button to check the image cropping using the mask border. The size changes in real-time.

4. Press the lit Zoomed Size button. The button no longer lights.

To change the size and aspect ratio of the Image inside a window, (for example, Window 2, Image size 200% and aspect ratio 120%):

1. Press the Zoomed Size button. The Zoomed Size button lights.

2. Press the Save Aspect button. The Save Aspect button lights.

3. Press Windows button 2. The selected Windows button lights.

4. Use the left (◀) and right (▶) arrow buttons to decrease or increase respectively the size until 200% is displayed.

5. Use the up (▲) and down (▼) arrow buttons to increase or decrease respectively the aspect ratio until 120% is displayed. If required, press the Crop PVW button to check the image cropping using the mask border.

6. Press the Zoomed Size button to save the changes. The button no longer lights, the Image size and aspect ratio are set and the display returns to the Window/Input selection.

7.2.6 Adjusting the Position of the Image Inside a Window – Panning

If an Image has been zoomed, (that is, horizontal or vertical values of the Image size are greater than 100%), then cropping takes place. You can pan the Image inside the Window in order to reveal the essential portion of the Image.

To adjust the position of the image inside a window (panning):

1. Press the Zoomed Position button. The Zoomed Position button lights.

2. Press the required Window button to select it. The Window button lights and the window is selected.

13 Kramer Protocol 3000

The MV-5 can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.

This section describes:

• Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 13.1)
• Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 13.2)

13.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

13.1.1 Host Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
#	device_id@	Message	CR

13.1.2 Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

Start	Body	Delimiter
#	Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,...	CR

13.1.3 Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

Start	Address	Body	Delimiter
#	device_id@	Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...|Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...|Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...	CR

13.1.4 Device Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	delimiter
~	device_id@	Message	CR LF

13.1.5 Device Long Response

Echoing command:

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	device_id@	Command SP [Param1,Param2 ...] result	CR LF

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20) 

13.1.6 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').

Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

Parameters

A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters ('0'-9', 'A'-Z', 'a'-z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.

Message string

Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ' |' ) character.

Message starting character

'#' – For host command/query

'\~' – For device response

Device ID (Optional, for K-NET)

K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character

CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10) 

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ('|') character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

13.1.7 Entering Commands

You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.

( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).

For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.

13.1.8 Command Forms

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

13.1.9 Chaining Commands

Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character ("|"). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only once, at the beginning of the string and at the end.

Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.

A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.

13.1.10 Maximum String Length

64 characters

13.2.2 Device-Specific Commands

Set Command syntax

Y Control_Type=0, Function#, Param

For example:

Y 0,212,1

Device response:

\~id=01Y Control_Type=0,Function#,Param

For example:

\~01@Y 0,212,1

Get Command syntax

Y Control_Type=1, Function

For example:

Y 1,200

Device response:

\~id=01Y Control_Type=1, Function, Param

For example:

\~01@Y 1,200,3

The following table lists the MV-5 "Y commands". If a parameter in the table is given as multidimensional vector (for example, IN_FRMT[4] - has the dimension = 4), this signifies that there are four different parameters each of which reflect a state of the same feature for different inputs or different windows. In order to address the required input or window, one more parameter must be added to the "Y command"- the fourth for "Set Command" and third for "Get Command". For example "#Y 0,103,25,2" signifies "Set Command, function = 103 (Pixel Latch Phase = PX_PHS[2]), Value = 25, only for Analog HD INPUT # 3 (as here additional parameter A = 2, this corresponds to INPUT # = A + 1). Another example: "#Y 0,303,-50,0" - signifies "Set Command, function = 303 (Window H size = HSZ_H[0]), Value = -50, only for WINDOW # 1 (as here additional parameter A = 0, this corresponds to WINDOW # = A + 1). The Notes column indicates whether the additional parameter is related to a window or to an input.
