MV-801 Hardware Installation chapter, for slot information.) The Sirius 800 internal router architecture allows the MV-801 to tap into the signal flow within the router at the input signals, just before the main router crosspoint. Figure 2 shows a Sirius 800 router block diagram which includes up to three MV-801 Integrated Multiviewer units.
MV-801 User Manual 1.5 MV-801 Main Input and Output Connections Figure 3 shows the MV-801 Integrated Multiviewer with its core MV-8 Series Core Multiviewer and its main inputs and outputs, comprising: • 48 video inputs (internal to the router): Selected from all router inputs via the MV Crosspoint module.
Sirius 800 router frame. The multiviewer may be purchased already fitted into a new Sirius 800 router from Grass Valley or bought separately as a hardware upgrade option, to be fitted to an existing Sirius 800 router. One or more MV-801’s may be fitted to a router.

Specification, Table 14 on page 49, for default IP addresses on all network ports. Initial configuration and set up of the MV-801 multiviewer is done via Grass Valley’s RollCall Control Panel application. See the ‘MV-8 Series Core Multiviewer’ user manual, in the section about RollCall templates and “Getting Started”.
An MV-801 has a license option which enables streaming out of H.264-encoded copies of the input video signals going to the multiviewer block on the MV-801. Streaming is done over Ethernet interfaces 1 or 2. The license option can be added later to MV-801 modules in the field.
2 MV-801 Hardware Modules MV-801 hardware primarily comprises: • Main front horizontal module (FGAMV MV-801). (MV-801 Multiviewer Front Module (FGAMV MV-801), on page 12.) • Rear panel horizontal module (1312). (MV-800-RP Multiviewer Rear Panel (1312) (Used MV-800/MV-801), on page 15.) These modules are described in this section.
