Introduction 1. Introduction The compact MV-16 multi-viewer enables up to 16 channels of video to be viewed on a single display device. The inputs are auto-sensing composite, SDI, HD-SDI inputs. In addition there are two DVI-I video inputs. Up to 3G 1080p is supported.
The display will start to be cropped when the tile is 150 pixels or less wide. 1.2.5 Genlocking Genlocking of the MV-16 is via SD color black or HD tri-level sync, or may be taken from a chosen input on any input card.
Installation 2. Installation The MV-16 1U frame may be installed in 19 inch bays with 426mm depth (~450mm including connectors). Ventilation is produced in each frame with exhaust fans on the left hand side (viewed from front) and intake grilles at the right. Frames should be installed into bays such that airflow through these apertures is not impeded.
MV-16 1U frame rear connector Input/Output. 2.4 Input card configurations The MV-16 may be fitted with up to four MV-VIP1 or MV-VIP2 video input cards, or any combination of the two types. Additionally, an external analogue or digital audio I/O card may be fitted to a dedicated card slot as an option.
(when using SDI or HDSDI inputs), or from up to 32 channels from external analogue or AES/EBU sources, for which the appropriate audio input card option must be installed. Additionally, external audio may be monitored using level data from the Snell NGM-164 via the LAN.
RS422 (set in conjunction with J13) RS232 (set in conjunction with J13) Table 2. MV-16 CPU Jumper settings. Fig 8. shows the CPU card jumpers and Table 2. shows the jumper settings. Only pin 1 of each jumper is indicated on the PCB.
AES/EBU inputs or outputs (depending on the card fitted) may be jumper selected per channel to be either balanced or unbalanced. These are set from the jumpers on each digital audio card. Fig 9. MV-16 AES/EBU digital audio input card balanced/unbalanced settings. Jumper Position Description Balanced Unbalanced Table 3.
Under normal circumstances, the boot cycle takes about 70 seconds. The MV-16 can be configured and controlled via the LAN, using browser software operating on a remote PC.
Any HID compliant USB keyboard can be used for the entry and editing of UMD. The keyboard is connected to the USB port on the front panel of the MV-16. The Tab key activates the cursor on the topmost UMD. Successive Tab key operation moves the cursor on to the next UMD in sequence.
3.3 Using the Web Interface The MV-16 Multi-viewer is controlled via a browser using web pages hosted by the frame itself. Note that Java must first be installed on the PC or MAC that is to be used. This is available as a free download from: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp...

For an example of how GPI outputs can be used to drive LEDs, see Appendix 4.1.2.1. • The MV-16 GPI inputs have weak pull-downs on them and can be driven by inputs of up to 24 V. The inputs are triggered by inputs above 3 V. •...

Connection to Other Equipment 4.1.2.1 Example: Using LEDs on the GPI Outputs The GPI outputs on the MV-16 are open collector drivers. There is a 5 Vdc pin to provide the power needed to drive LEDs or relays. The following schematic is an example of the wiring needed when an LED is to be driven by each output.
RS232 or RS422 to match the TSL controller. Ensure the MV-16 serial port is set to normal mode rather than debug mode. See section 2.5 for information on the MV-16 jumper settings.

Scroll down to the Video 1 GPI In 1 item and select Src 2 Hard Tally here. This should now appear as shown in Fig 57. Press OK, and upload the changes to the MV-16 (Press the red arrow - update layout - in the toolbar.
This example describes how Kahuna 360 and Kahuna 360 Compact use the TSL UMD (Output Only) Tally protocol to connect to and communicate with the MV-16 Multiviewer. The TSL UMD protocol allows Kahuna 360 to tally the PGM and PVW outputs which place a Red or Green border around the selected output source when viewed on a monitor via the multiviewer.
As the sources change the UMDs will dynamically change to match the correct source name without any intervention from the user. This section describes how to connect the MV-16 to a Nucleus or Nebula controller. The source names are limited to 8 characters.
Graphics files to be stored in the frame must be in .png format. Uploading the files is performed using a PC connected to the MV-16 LAN port directly, or over a network.

The MV-16 contains a selection of the commands defined in the Barco Hydra Open Protocol. They have been adapted to control the MV-16 in as close as possible way as they would control a Hydra, with the aim being to enable existing scripts already used with a Hydra to be utilized.
… </COMMAND> name is the name of the command and serial is a unique string that the MV-16 uses in the command's transaction result. The result of a command sits inside a TRANSACTIONRESULT tag and is of the following format: <COMMANDRESULT SERIAL="serial"...
Table 54. Adjust UMD For each object, specify the module name (currently ignored by the MV-16), object name (the username given to the object), line number in the UMD (0 or 1), and text for the UMD line. It is volatile, meaning that it only remains applied to the UMD while the current layout remains on screen.
Table 57. Set Source Name For each source, specify the module name (currently ignored by the MV-16), the source number (0 to n), and the name of the source. The name given will be applied to the first line of the UMD in any objects displaying this source.
MV-16 Multiviewer www.snellgroup.com Technical Appendix Appendix B. Technical Appendix This chapter provides tabular overviews about the technical details of the MV-16, its components and of their interfaces. B.1 Technical Data The following table contains data relating to the Main Frame.
If an analog or digital LCD/Plasma screen is used, check that the output resolution of the MV-16 is the same as the native resolution of the panel. This will avoid forcing the screen to rescale the image. Most LCD/Plasma screens produce artifacts when their internal scalars are active.
