responsibility). In case of hardware fault please contact your local distributor or us (www.analogway.com).
While not an exhaustive list, the following are provided for guidance. Warranty claims will be invalidated in
these circumstances:
•A hardware failure is caused by inappropriate handling of hardware such as dropping the image
processor, using the image processor without proper ventilation, exposing the unit to water, other

USER MANUAL
2 Terms and Definition
Auxiliary Screen or Aux: A specific Screen composed of a single output with a format up to 4K@60. The
content displayed can be an input or Screen’s Program.
Background Image: Image source ready to be used in a Background Set. Each Screen has four Background
Image slots.
Background Layer: Screen layer with lowest priority that can display a Background Set.
Background Set: A source content created for a Screen background layer. A Background Set is made by
assigning a Background Image or live input in every output of a Screen.
Foreground Image: Image source ready to be used in a Foreground layer. Each Screen has four Foreground
Image slots.
Foreground Layer: Resizable Screen layer with highest priority that can display a Foreground Image.
Image: Englobes all non-animated images. Images are imported through the Web RCS and used as content
in layers.
Keying: Electronic process where a video image is electronically superimposed over another source by
dynamically removing a portion of the first image. For example, removing all content of a certain color (such
as green or blue) is called Chroma Key and removing content based on its luminance levels is called Luma
Key. Keying is typically used for titles, logos and special effects.
Layer: Item displaying one live input. Layers can overlap, depending on their visual priority. Layers can be
repositioned, resized, displayed with borders, etc.
Multiviewer: Dedicated output used to monitor content in widgets. Midra™ 4K units have one Multiviewer
output able to display up to 16 widgets.
Preview (PRW): The content in Preview is not displayed on output Screens. All Preview screens replace their
corresponding Program screens during transition (or Take). Preview Screens are meant to load layers and
content before transitioning to Program.
Program (PGM): The content in Program shows what is currently displayed on Screens. It is possible to make
changes directly in the Program screens (drag and drop content in layers, layer size and position, etc.). It is
also possible to lock the Program screens to only edit the Preview screens.
Screen: Destination where the picture will be displayed. For example, a single display or a projection surface
which can be composed of one or multiple outputs. Each screen is composed of one or multiple layers.
Soft edge blending: Technology used to compensate for the covering area when two (or more) video
projectors are combined to display a continuous content across one screen. The resulting image will appear
as a single unified picture.
Web RCS: User interface to setup and operate the Midra™ 4K. It is a web browser based Remote Control
Software designed by Analog Way.
Widget: Multiviewer item displaying one content (Input, Timer, Preview or Program Screen). Similar to a
Layer but without visual priority, widgets are displayed on same level and cannot overlap.

Caution: The power cord constitutes the only mean to completely disconnect the equipment from the main power.
Use the following guidelines:
- The equipment connected to the network must have a release system easily accessible and located
outside the unit.
- Unplug the power cord; do not pull on the power cords but always on the plug itself.
- The outlet should always be near the device and easily accessible.
- A power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against it.
If the power supply cords is damaged, unplug the device. Using the device with a damaged power supply
cord may expose your device to electric shocks or other hazards. Verify the condition of the power supply
cords periodically. Contact your dealer or service center for replacement if damaged.
• CONNECTIONS: All inputs and outputs (except for the power input) are Electrical energy source class 1 (ES1)
as defined in IEC/UL 62368-1 edition 2.
ES1 limits: 60Vdc or 30V rms/ 42.4V peak.
• SERVICING: Do not attempt to service this product yourself by opening or removing covers and screws since
it may expose your device to electric shocks or other hazards. The internal Lithium cell battery is not
replaceable. In case of problem, contact your supplier or Analog Way.

une poche d’air chaud, ni dans un endroit exposé au rayonnement solaire direct, à des poussières excessives,
à des vibrations ou à des chocs mécaniques. Ceci pourrait provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement et un
accident.
• ALIMENTATION : Ne faire fonctionner l’appareil qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur l’appareil.
Les appareils doivent être obligatoirement connectés sur une source équipée d’une mise à la terre efficace.
En aucun cas cette liaison de terre ne devra être modifiée, contournée ou supprimée. Raccordement des
équipements à l’alimentation principale doit être postérieur au disjoncteur de branchement de l’installation
électrique du bâtiment.
• CORDON D’ALIMENTATION : Les appareils sont équipés d’un cordon d’alimentation détachable, la mise
hors tension se fait en débranchant ce cordon de l’appareil.
Attention : Le cordon d’alimentation constitue le seul moyen de débrancher l’appareil totalement de l’alimentation secteur.
Appliquer les consignes suivantes :
- Le matériel relié à demeure au réseau, doit avoir un dispositif de sectionnement facilement accessible qui
doit être incorporé à l’extérieur de l’appareil.
- Débrancher le cordon d’alimentation de la prise murale si vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser l’appareil pendant
quelques jours ou plus.
- Pour débrancher le cordon, tirez-les par la fiche. Ne tirez jamais sur le cordon proprement dit.
- Les prises d’alimentation doivent se trouver à proximité de l’appareil et être aisément accessibles.
- Ne laissez pas tomber le cordon d’alimentation et ne posez pas d’objets lourds dessus.
Si un cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, débranchez-le immédiatement de la prise murale. Il est
dangereux de faire fonctionner un appareil avec un cordon endommagé ; un câble abîmé peut provoquer un
risque d’incendie ou un choc électrique. Vérifiez les câbles d’alimentation de temps en temps. Contactez
votre revendeur ou le service après-vente pour un remplacement.
• CONNEXIONS : Toutes les entrées et sorties (exceptée l’entrée d’alimentation) sont des sources d’énergie
électrique de classe 1 (ES1) tel que défini dans IEC/UL 62368-1 édition 2.
ES1: Electrical energy source class 1 (limites : 60Vdc ou 30V rms/ 42.4V peak).
• RÉPARATION ET MAINTENANCE : L’utilisateur ne doit en aucun cas essayer de procéder aux opérations de
dépannage, car l’ouverture des appareils par retrait des capots ou de toutes autres pièces constituant les
boîtiers ainsi que le dévissage des vis apparentes à l’extérieur, risquent d’exposer l’utilisateur à des chocs
électriques ou autres dangers.
La pile bouton au Lithium présente à l’intérieur de la machine n’est pas remplaçable. En cas de problème,
contactez le service après-vente, votre revendeur ou adressez-vous à un personnel qualifié uniquement.
• OUVERTURES ET ORIFICES : Les appareils peuvent comporter des ouvertures (aération, fentes, etc.),
veuillez ne jamais y introduire d’objets et ne jamais obstruer ses ouvertures.
