MGP 641 • Setup Guide
The MGP 641 is a multi-window video signal processor that displays multiple video sources on a single screen in
picture-in-picture or picture-by-picture format. It features dedicated connectivity for each of the four windows, fully customizable
window layouts, HDCP 2.3 support, logo and background image support, logo keying, and ultra-high resolution support up to
2560x1600 and 4K at 60 Hz on both inputs and outputs. The MGP 641 can be controlled and congured using the front panel
controls, Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™) commands, the internal web page, and the Videowall Conguration Software (VCS).
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and congure the MGP 641.
NOTES:
• For full installation, configuration, and operation details, see the MGP 641 Series User Guide, available at
www.extron.com.
• The VCS program is available at www.extron.com. For information on using VCS, see the VCS Help File, also available
on the Extron website.

Installation Steps
1. Mount the MGP to a rack using the pre-installed side mounting brackets. The MGP 641 has a 1U high, full rack wide
enclosure.
Alternatively, attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the MGP and place the unit in the desired location.
2. Connect HDMI (or DVI with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI input connectors (inputs 1 through 4) (see figure1,
B
).
3. If desired, connect a source to the HDMI live Background Input connector (
C
). The MGP 641 windows are displayed in front
of this unscaled background video source.
NOTE: You must set the output resolution to match that of the background source, or the background video is not
displayed. The refresh rates do not need to match.
4. Make the following output connections as needed:
z Connect an HDMI (or DVI with an appropriate adapter) display to the HDMI output 1A connector (
D
).
z Connect a DTP endpoint, XTP matrix switcher, or HDBaseT compatible receiver to the buffered DTP/XTP/HDBT output
connector 1B (
F
). For cable wiring and recommendations, see the MGP 641 User Guide.
NOTE: RS-232 data can be inserted via Ethernet (see the MGP 641 User Guide or the VCS Help File).
z To pass infrared data, connect a control device to the 3-pole Over TP IR captive screw connector (see the MGP 641 User
Guide for information).

IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT:
Go to www.extron.com for the complete
user guide, installation instructions, and
specifications before connecting the
product to the power source.

5. Connect a balanced or unbalanced analog audio output device (such as a DSP device or an amplifier) to the 5-pole captive
screw Audio Out connector (see figure1,
K
on the previous page) for 2-Ch audio from the selected input. This connector is
configurable via VCS or SIS as two discrete mono outputs or as one stereo output (see “Audio Wiring” for details).
6. If the MGP 641 will be connected to a computer or to a host controller for remote control, connect an RS-232 cable from
the host to the Tx, Rx, and G pins (the remaining two pins are not used) of the 5-pole Remote RS-232 rear panel connector
(see figure1,
L
), or to the front panel USB mini-B Config port (see figure2,
A
). The default protocol for the RS-232 port is
9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 8 data bits, with no flow control.
Alternatively, connect an RJ-45 network cable to the rear panel LAN port for remote conguration and control.
7. Connect power to the MGP by plugging a standard IEC power cord (provided) from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power
source into the AC power connector (see figure1,
A
).
8. Apply power to all other devices.
Audio Wiring
Wire the audio output connectors as
shown at right. Use the supplied tie wrap
to strap the audio cable to the extended
tail of the connector.
ATTENTION:
• For unbalanced outputs, do not connect wires to the “-” poles.
• Pour les sorties asymétriques, ne connectez pas de câbles aux pôles «-» .
NOTE: The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
Front Panel Controls
The MGP 641 front panel buttons, Adjust knobs, and the LCD menu provide navigation of general settings required to initially
control and congure the MGP. When you press a button or rotate a knob, the LCD panel displays the available settings.

EDID selection, aspect ratio selection, HDCP authorization, and image rotation
(available only for inputs 2 and 4) (some of these settings may require about
3 seconds to take effect after selection).
2. Use the Output Configuration menu to configure the outputs, including signal
type, resolution and rate, HDCP Note (encryption notification), TP and HDMI format,
and display rotation.
3. From the Advanced Configuration menu, Test Pattern submenu, use the crop

displayed on the LCD screen.
b. Press and hold the Next button until the screen displays Edit Comm Settings.
c. Press the Next button repeatedly until IP Address appears on the screen.
d. Rotate the Horizontal Adjust knob (
[
) to select a section of the address
(octet) to edit and the Vertical Adjust knob (
{
) to increase or decrease the
selected number.
e. Repeat step d for the remaining octets.
5. Use the picture control buttons to size and position each window as desired for
your application.
6. Save each window configuration to any of the 128 window preset slots for easy
recall of window settings.
