Overview The FG4 Multibox consists of FG4 Box, FG4 PCIe Card(s), and Interface Module(s). Power Connection to power supply Use the included power cable to connect to the power supply or to your test bench sockets with banana plugs. Power consumption and power supply requirements The input voltage range is 10 to 30 Volts DC.
Ethernet connection Default IP address The default IP address of the web user interface is 192.168.1.200/24. IP address and DHCP setup Open the web UI, go to "Other Settings" and change the "eth0" IP address to the desired value (e.g. 192.168.4.200).
Dashboard (Web UI) The dashboard is the main page of the web user interface. Connected Hardware • The installed PCIe cards, module types, and their current Input/Output status • Ethernet device(s) status (current IP address) • Mounted storage devices Detected Hardware •...
In this section, configure the parameters for video inputs. The displayed settings depend on the installed interface module type. If the input is enabled, the video signal is received from the FG4 PCIe Card for further processing in the FG4 MultiBox. Video Input Status Shows detected parameters of the incoming video signal.
Sinks For each video input, there are two “sinks” available: • VIDEO - Sends a video stream via the TCP port and saves it to a file. • PICTURE - Takes a screenshot, sends it via the TCP port, and saves it to a file. Video Enable this feature to send a video over the TCP port as a Video Transport Stream or to save it to the internal storage (SATADISK).

In triggered mode, a single image is captured only if the “Trigger Image” event occurs or if the “Trigger Image Now” button is pressed. If not in Triggered mode, the images will be captured continuously. If the Images are to be saved, enable the "File Writer"...
Video Outputs In this section, configure the parameters for video outputs. The displayed settings depend on the installed module type. FPD Link 3 Specify the desired FPD Link 3 output signal parameters. To use the same output parameters as detected on input, click the “Import Settings” button to retrieve values from IN1 or IN2.
GMSL 2/3 As the output back to the display(s) use the Daisy Chain output, marked as “DCH1” on the interface module, instead of outputs “OUT1” or “OUT2”. Note: The separate GMSL 2/3 Outputs OUT1 and OUT2 are currently not implemented yet. HDMI Preview The HDMI Preview function allows to send a signal directly to the monitor screen.
File Systems Access to the connected storage devices or upload firmware update files. SATA Disk The Box is equipped with a 500 GB SATA disk for storing videos, images, etc. It is mounted to the file system as “satadisk”. Configuration backup and restore To backup all configuration settings, navigate to “Other Settings”...
Then, upload the “mgb4-install.tgz” file that was previously downloaded from the product website. To force firmware flashing after reboot, create the "mgb4-flash" flag file. To keep the configuration*, create the "mgb4-keep" file. After uploading the files, reboot the FG4 MultiBox by pressing the "REBOOT" button.
