MXA-MPL Modero X Series® Multi Preview Live
Overview
The MXA-MPL Modero X Series®Multi Preview Live (FG5968-10) is a touch panel
accessory that displays an HD video stream on Modero X Series Touch Panels when
used in conjunction with a high-definition (HD) Enova DVX All-In-One Presentation
Switcher or Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher.
Note: For full functionality, the MXA-MPL may be used with the Enova series media
switchers and Modero X Series touch panels. The MXA-MPL may not be used with
previously released AMX touch panels or switchers.
For more information on installation and configuration, refer to the MXA-MP/MXA-MPL
Instruction Manual, available at www.amx.com.
Product Specifications
Installation
Temperature and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration to
maintain the product within the specified operating temperature. FIG. 2 represents an
MXA-MPL in a typical rack mount installation, with full air circulation around the front
and back. In this case, the main concern is with heat building up between components,
possibly to levels that may affect device operation.
The MXA-MPL may also be put on a freestanding location or mounted either vertically
or horizontally under a table using two surface mounting brackets (FG525) (FIG. 3).
Installation in a rack requires an (optional) MPA-VRK Rack Mounting Tray (FG5968-30):
1. Select a position on the Rack Mounting Tray for the installation. The Rack
Mounting Tray contains screw holes to allow single or double MXA-MPL
installations.
2. Using the screws included with the MPA-VRK, install the screws to the bottom of
the MXA-MPL through the Rack Mounting Tray (FIG. 4). Use four screws for each
device, one at each corner.
3. Connect the Rack Mounting Tray to the rack with the provided rack mount screws.
Connecting Video Input to the MXA-MPL
The MXA-MPL has a single DVI (12+5) female Multi-Format Video input connection on
the rear panel that supports the following video input types:
Each of these video inputs support specific video resolutions as follows:
AMX has a series of optional cables to make the connection between the Multi-Format
Video Input to specific video types easier.
• DVI to 5 BNC Male Cable 6 (FG10-2170-08)
• DVI to 3 RCA Male Cable 6 (FG10-2170-09)
• DVI to HD-15 Female Adapter (FG10-2170-13)
• DVI to S-Video Cable (FG10-2170-10) (FIG. 5).
Note: When connecting an Enova DVX to an MXA-MPL, an HDMI cable adapter may be
needed to connect from the DVX’s HDMI cable to the MXA-MPL Video Input port.

Connecting the MXA-MPL to a Network
Since the MXA-MPL works to transmit HD video and images from an Enova switcher to a
Modero X touch panel, it needs to be connected between the switcher and the touch
panel. To connect the touch panel to the MXA-MPL:
1. Insert the incoming network connection cable from the Enova switcher to the
upper Ethernet In RJ-45 connector (FIG. 1).
2. If the touch panel is MXD/T-1000/1001, MXD/T-700/701, MXD-430/431),
connect an outgoing Ethernet cable from the MXA-MPL’s Ethernet Out RJ-45
connector to an AMX-certified high-power Power over Ethernet injector. Do not
apply power until the installation is complete.
• For PoE-powered Modero X touch panels, the AMX-certified PoE injector must be
connected between the MXA-MPL and the touch panel. Use of a PoE switch in
place of an AMX-certified PoE injector is NOT recommended.
3. If the touch panel is a MXD/T-1900/1901L-PAN or MXD/T-2000/2001XL-PAN,
outgoing power to the touch panel may be supplied via the MXA-MPL’s 2-pin
+12V Power output (FIG. 1) or through another source. Do not apply power until
the installation is complete.
Note: If using the MXA-MPL’s 2-pin connector for power for a touch panel, please refer to
Maximum Power Cable Gauges and Distances section below for maximum cable
lengths between the MXA-MPL and the touch panel, based on cable gauge. Using a
separate power source for 19/20” panel installations that require long cable runs is
highly recommended.
4. When the installation is complete, apply power to the MXA-MPL and to the touch
panel. Verify via the LEDs on the front of the device that it is receiving power and
is connected to the network.
5. If the touch panel has not been configured to receive video signals from the MXA-
MPL, do so now.
FIG. 5 provides a basic installation diagram for the MXA-MPL:
Maximum Power Cable Gauges and Distances
While most Modero X Series touch panels use Power Over Ethernet (PoE) for their
power needs, the 19/20” Modero X Series touch panels use external power from an
AMX-certified power source.
The MXA-MPL may be used as a power source for the panoramic touch panels, but only
to certain lengths determined by the cable gauge and the max distance between the
device and the touch panel.
Note: All power cable gauges are in AWG (American Wire Gauge).
When installing panoramic Modero X Series touch panels that exceed these cable
lengths between the MXA-MP/MPL and the touch panel, a separate AMX-certified power
source should be used instead.
Conf iguring the MXA-MPL
After the MXA-MPL is connected to the network, the touch panel to which it is
connected needs to be configured to receive its signals. Configuring the MXA-MPL into
a network requires modification of the device’s corresponding NetLinx files via NetLinx
Studio and the associated touch panel pages via TPDesign 4. Documentation of the
available commands may be found in the Modero X Series Programming Guide, available
at www.amx.com.
To configure the touch panel:
1. From the Settings page, select Connections & Networks.
2. From the Connections & Networks page, select Breakout Box to open the Breakout
Box page (FIG. 6).
3. Press the Breakout Box button to enable the panel to receive information from
the MXA-MPL.
4. If the MXA-MPL is connected, the remaining information on the Breakout Box
page will self-populate.
Note: If the MXA-MPL is not connected to the touch panel, any attempts at enabling the
panel will fail, and the Breakout Box page will be blank other than the Breakout Box
button.
Rebooting the MXA-MPL
To reboot the MXA-MPL, press and hold the Reset button (FIG. 1) for one second.
Resetting the MXA-MPL to Factory Defaults
To reset the MXA-MPL’s configuration settings to its factory defaults:
1. Press and hold the Factory Reset button (on the front panel) for about 5 seconds.
2. The Power LED will blink three times. At this time, release the Factory Reset
button.
To reset the MXA-MPL’s firmware from its current version to its factory default version:
1. Press and hold the Factory Reset button (on the front panel) for about 10
seconds.
2. At about the 5-second mark, the Power LED will blink 3 times. Keep holding the
Factory Reset button. At the 10-second mark, the Power LED will blink 7 times at
a faster rate. At this time, release the Factory Reset button.
