This chapter describes the basic operations to set up the system for your MV-410HS multi viewer.
Refer to the section given for each operation you may need more details, if necessary.
1) Connect the MV-410HS to an AC power source using the supplied accessory cord.
2) Connect the signal source device(s) to the left connector(s) of each set of 1 to 4
HD-SDI/SD-SDI/COMPOSITE INPUT connectors to supply input signal(s). The right
connectors are for active through outputs which we are not using now.
3) Connect a DVI monitor or an analog RGB monitor. (You need an adaptor to connect an
analog RGB monitor.)
4) Connect a PC which you are going to use to edit layout by installing the supplied Layout
Editor. In the figure above the shown connection is for the LAN interface that you need for
Layout Editor operation.
The system requirements for the PC is shown in section 1-2. "System Requirements" in the
MV-410HS Layout Editor Operation Manual.

1) Checking Monitor Display of Output Image
Turn on the power switch on the MV-410HS front panel. When power switch is turned on,
the output image is displayed on the DVI/RGB monitor. Is the image displayed on the
monitor? Follow the steps given for each case.
* The output screen size is set to 1920 x 1200 in 60Hz at the factory.
If your case is a) or b), perform the next 2) "Adjusting Display using Output Size Test Mode".
a) No display or incorrect display ( flickers, distorted, inverted color, etc.)
Power off the MV-410HS, and then hold down the LOCK and turn the power switch on.
The blue test screen as shown below appears. The format used before the last powering
off is employed. (The factory default is set to 1920x1200/60.) The LEDs of 1 to 4, LOCK,
MENU, FULL, and SPLIT on the front panel indicate the currently employed format as
shown in the following table 'Front Panel LED Indication and Setting Value Order'.
If the test screen is not displayed on the DVI/RGB monitor, or it is displayed but flickers,
distorted, or its color is reversed, then, adjust the H PIXELS OFFSET value using
Buttons on the front panel.
* The factory default is set to 0 PIXEL for every format.
Use this "H PIXELS OFFSET" setting for testing the monitor display. Set H PIXELS
OFFSET to 0 pixel for operating the MV-410HS.

Press the button to change the H PIXELS OFFSET value backwards, or press the
button to change the value forward (Minimum -4 pixels to maximum 4 pixels). It may be
difficult to know the H PIXELS OFFSET value which is currently selected when there is no
display on the monitor. In this case, press both arrow buttons one at a time consecutively 8
times and see if the image is displayed correctly. If you still cannot get the correct display,
the monitor may not support any of those formats. Check the supported formats on the
specifications of the DVI/RGB monitor.
a) Checking other output screen sizes
Change the output screen size using and buttons on the front panel. The output
screen size is changed in the order shown in the following 'Output Screen Size' table. If
the image is not properly displayed, adjust the display by the procedure described in the
previous 'No display or Incorrect Display', and see if you can get a correct display.
b) Checking other output frequencies
Press the ENTER button on the front panel to change output frequencies. The output
frequency is changed in the order shown in the following 'Output Frequency' table by
every press on the ENTER button. If the image is not properly displayed, adjust the
display by the procedure described in the previous 'No display or Incorrect Display' or
'Checking other output screen sizes', and see if you can get a correct display.
* Pressing the MENU button will start up the MV-410HS and also store the adjustments.
3) After completing all adjustments
Press the MENU button to resume the MV-410HS start up.
* The settings made for the H PIXELS OFFSET and output frequency are stored. However,
the settings made for the output size are not stored. To change the output sizes, change the
output size settings in the Layout Editor.
