Overview
The MX-1010 Dual-View Video Enhancing Processor is an advanced video processor to enhance the video
quality for multimedia presentations. It is an ideal solution for applications where two video signals must be
displayed on a single display. It supports up to nine video inputs, of which two, one digital and one analog, can be
outputted simultaneously in Picture-In-Picture (PIP) or Picture-Aside-Picture (PAP) modes. The MX-1010
combines state-of-the-art technologies, such as video de-interlacer, scaler, color management, format conversion,
and video switch into one box and allows you to manipulate output images, wherever position and whatever sizes
you want for viewing two computers or two video signals or a combination through the control software*.
The embedded scaler converts signals from input sources to match the native resolution of monitors, flat
panel displays, projectors as well as user-selectable output settings up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200). Dual outputs
are provided in both analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) format, one is connected to remote display and the other is
connected to on-site display for real time monitoring.
Software will be available soon.

Inputs and Outputs
The MX-1010 has nine inputs and accepts two graphics and seven video signals. There is a concept of main
channel and sub channel for this device. You can pick up two of the nine inputs, one is for main channel and the
other is for sub channel. To display two of them simultaneously on the same screen, the two chosen videos must
be from digital and analog inputs, or the same source. Except DVI, any other video sources are analog. Figure 2
shows the connectors on the rear panel of MX-1010 while Table 1 and 2 list separately the available video and
audio inputs of the MX-1010.
Figure 2: Rear Panel
These IO ports support various resolution from 640x480 up to 1920x1200, for more detail of the
supported modes, please refer to the Appendix for supported resolutions.

Safety Precautions
I. To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose this device to rain or moisture.
II. When connecting other products such as DVD players, and personal computers, you should turn off the
power of this product for protection against electric shocks.
III. The product should be placed more than one foot away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. In addition, do not cover any material or
devices on the top of the device.
IV. Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature, as this causes
condensation.
V. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult and serious damage to the product.
VI. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
VII. Do not allow the same still picture to be projected for a long time or an abnormally bright video picture to be
projected. The video image could be burned in to the display device.
Installation Procedures
Unpacking
Remove the MX-1010 from the shipping container and examine it for any signs of shipping damage or
missing items (check with package contents above). All shipping items should be saved if the product is to be
moved or returned for service. Shipping unit back to dealers for service not in the original box may result in
voiding warranty or additional cost.

another device on the top or bottom of the MX-1010.
Hardware Installation

~ 7 ~
Connections
We recommend the highest quality cables for both input and output connections.
1. Switch off the MX-1010 and all devices that you want to connect.
2. Connect a monitor, a projector or other displays that comes with DVI or VGA inputs by using a male-to-male
DVI (VGA) cable to MX-1010 DVI output (you can connect 2 displays equipped with DVI and VGA respectively
by a DVI to DVI&VGA breakout cable (DDVY01)).
3. Plug in video sources to the desired input connectors.
4. Connect a device equipped with DVI output (such as a PC) to the DVI connector of the breakout cable.
5. Connect a device equipped with VGA output (such as a laptop) to the VGA connector of MX-1010
6. Connect your computer with the MX-1010 by a 9-pin RS-232 adapter and then install the software.
7. Plug in power adapter cable into 5V DC power jack.
8. Switch on all devices connected and then switch on the video processor and then press “menu‖ to display
OSD menu.
9. Press down source key or video hot keys to switch among all the video/graphic sources.
10. Once the Main Channel has a video selected, the corresponding audio is automatically set.
11. In PIP or PAP mode, use hot keys designed for PIP or PAP on the top of IR remote controller.
12. For detailed IR remote control operation, please refer to the On Screen Display menu and IR operating
instruction.

System Requirement and Precautions
1. The MX-1010 provides a software control program which runs under Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista
through the interface of RS-232 serial control.
2. Before you click on the icon of the software, make sure you have secured the connection between your
computer COM port and the MX-1010 and switched on the MX-1010 with green LED light.
3. The MX-1010 has remote control and software control. To make sure all information shown in the software is
synchronized with those in the device, please click “Connect‖ to acquire the latest data from the MX-1010

Problem
Recommendations
No power
Check if you are using 5V DC adapter and it is firmly plugged into the
MX-1010
If you are recovering from power outage, accidentally unplug the adapter or
other power surge conditions, leave the device off for a while and then
power it on again.
No/ Erratic video
Make sure all cables are in good working condition and properly connected
to the MX-1010 and displays.
Configure the output video resolution so that it doesn―t excess the native
resolution of the display. ( in this case, the message of “out of range‖ or
“format not supported‖ is usually showed on your screen)
Make sure a video source is selected to the main channel. (press “Menu‖
and check if the first item has a video source selected or press “Source‖ to
select a video source for the main channel)
Poor quality
We suggest that don―t use T-connectors to split your video source into to
images displayed on two different screens. That will lower output video
quality. Use a distribution amplifier instead of T-connectors.
Make sure the video source is not compressed and maintains the highest
native resolution.
Image position shifted
Press “Auto‖ key on the remote control.
*Auto configuration only works at VGA and YPbPr inputs.
Wrong color
Press “F3‖ key for auto configuration.
*Auto color configuration only works at VGA and YPbPr inputs.

Press “F1,‖ “1,‖ “2,‖ ‖3‖ keys sequentially on the remote control. An
