to enter the mode selection interface. Set the MSP 405 to SDI input to HDMI/Fiber output. 3. Check SDI Input Signal Check the SDI input signal via the MSP 405’s LCD screen. If the signal is not displayed, first check if the MSP 405 is receiving adequate power, then verify the output of the SDI camera, and try using a shorter cable to connect the MSP 405 and SDI camera if necessary.

Output Input 6. Connect the HDMI output port of the MSP 405 Device 2, which receives fiber signal, to your terminal display so as to enable conversion between fiber and HDMI signals. 3.4 Application Example 4 1. Connect HDMI and SDI Cables Use an SDI cable to connect the SDI output port of a device (e.g., a camera) to the SDI input port of MSP 405 Device 1.

3.4 Test Modes The MSP 405 can be served as an all-in-one field testing "Swiss Army knife" to verify input/output interface functionality during system deployment, significantly improving setup and testing efficiency. Application Scenario 1: Output Signal Verification The MSP 405 provides multiple built-in test templates to rapidly validate display integrity, synchronization accuracy, and signal stability.
Page 21
3. Select a test template (color bars, grid, etc.). Enable ”TP Motion” for dynamic pattern display. 4. Templates will show on connected displays while being output via SDI/HDMI/fiber simultaneously. Application Scenario 2: Input Interface Testing The MSP 405 can function as a temporary display substitute to test output interfaces of other devices.
Page 22
Application Scenario 3: Source Device Validation Test signal sources (e.g., cameras, media servers) by routing their outputs to the MSP 405. Connect SDI output from broadcast cameras. Feed HDMI signals from PCs/media servers. Real-time input monitoring confirms signal health. 3.5 Loop Modes The MSP 405 supports zero-latency loop-through conversion, enabling real-time signal conversion between SDI, HDMI, and fiber while preserving the original resolution.
Page 23
Choose the desired output format (e.g., SDI→HDMI+fiber). Verify real-time output using the connected reference monitor or the built-in test patterns. 3.6 Audio MSP 405 requires enabling Line In to ingest external signals without distortion, while Line Out must be activated to output processed video; disabling either will interrupt the corresponding signal chain, though the core conversion function remains operational.
