    Introduction Fig 1. The MV-32/MV-64 System Concept. A scaler on each video card processes one of the possible input sources and scales it to the desired tile size for the selected position on the display output. A mixer on each video card combines all the video tiles and sends the resulting image to the next video card.

  • Page 135 Fig 94. Internal Layout with a Double Rear Fitted. Fig 94. shows the internal layout with a single rear module fitted. When double width rear connector modules are used, the input capacity of the MV-32/MV-64 multiviewer is reduced. For example, if the MV-32/MV-64 multiviewer were to be configured with looping inputs, dual width rear modules would be required (MV-RM10).
  • Page 136 The MV-RM40 is single width and has two composite/SDI inputs, plus 2 x DVI-I inputs. This means that the maximum capacity of 64 video inputs in a single type MV-32/MV-64 multiviewer frame, or 32 video inputs per multiviewer in the dual type frame can be utilized.
