Input selection
The MDSC-1119/MDSC-2124 can be equipped with numerous different
video inputs. The available inputs may depend on the customer’s
requirements.
Input selection can be done in 5 ways:
• Automatically, by means of the Source Scan system
• By assigning a source priority
• Quick input selection by using the general purpose switch.
• Quick input selection by using the navigation keys without
entering the OSD.
• Using the Input selection menu in the OSD.
These 5 possibilities are described more in detail below.
Source scan
Source scan is a system that automatically scans all video inputs in the
display until it detects a correct video signal at one of the inputs. When
that video signal disappears again, the source scan system
automatically starts again, looking for another video signal.
The source scan system can be enabled or disabled in the Setup menu.
Source priority
In the Setup menu you can give priority to an input source. If a priority
has been established, the display will automatically select this source if
a signal is present on this input. The priority input selection will overrule
the manual input selection. For more information, please refer to
“Setup” on page 24.

The quick input selection feature can be enabled/disabled in the Setup

General purpose switch
If switches are connected to the display GPIO connector, you can use
them to switch inputs quickly. For this purpose, the GPIO input function
must be enabled in the Setup menu.

Alias names
You can add alias names to the available inputs to make it easier for the
user to know what video source is connected to which input. E.g., if an
endoscopic camera is connected to the S-Video1 input, you can add the
alias ‘Endoscope’ to the S-Video 1 input.
To enter an alias name:
1. Select the desired input in the Input Selection menu.
2. Press for a few seconds, until ********** is added to the menu
line.
3. Now use and to select the first character.
4. Use to go to the next character.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make the alias name.
6. Use to delete the last entered character (like backspace on a
computer keyboard).
7. When the alias name is completed, you must use until the last
* is cleared.
8. To cancel the text edit without saving, press and for 2
seconds.
The alias names will appear in the Input Selection, Source Priority and
Enable Inputs menus, but only in the Input Selection menu you can
define or change them.
