INSTRUCTION MANUAL | System description
MVP-100 is an advanced video converter which allows conversion of UHD input signals into 4different
streams with resolution up to FullHD. Each device has two UHD inputs which are working simultaneously.
You can dene 4 output windows on every UHD source signal. The resolution of a window in channel
1 can be up to 3860x2160, while channels 2, 3 and 4 support resolution of windows up to 1920x1080
pixels. Every window can be animated. Motion is made by dening the Start and End positions, along with
their transition mode (single, loop, ping-pong). During the motion, every window can change itssize. This
feature simulates the digital zoom.
FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES OF MVP-100
MVP-100 is an advanced video converter that allows processing and conversion of UHD signals
(3840x2160), for example: 12G SDI or HDMI 2.0 into four or eight different high-quality streams,
atresolutions up to FullHD. MVP-100 has got two independent conversion channels!
This enables simultaneous and parallel processing of two UHD signal sources – 3840x2160, the input
signals are converted into eight 3G SDI outputs, which can be additionally synchronized to a Genlock
input.
This solution is ideal for professionals who deal with production and broadcasting of video materials
using a variety of sources and signal types. It is perfect to apply both on the set and during the life
coverage of events.
In addition, MVP-100 converter is really easy to use. The small size of the device, its user-friendly interface.
HOW DOES MVP-100 OPERATE?
MVP-100 is able to simultaneously convert signals from two video inputs with resolutions up to
UHD(3840x2160). It supports a variety of video formats and enables the connection of signal sources in

12
System description | INSTRUCTION MANUAL
the form of SDI and HDMI, including 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 technologies.
The output signals are as many as 8 channels. They are created for each channel by indicating an active
area from the area of the device’s input signals.
The definition of the area, which will determine the output content, is nothing more than a simple
positioning of a rectangle in the MultiViewer preview for a given channel, and that, of course, against the
background of the device’s input signal. Each of the rectangles is marked with a white frame, but if it is
selected in the program row it is red or in the preview, then it is green. For one of the channels you can
scale the signal from full 4K resolution to FullHD, and there is up and down scaling (zoom) possible for all
other outputs. The output area (position of each rectangle) may be a function of a variable, which means
in constant motion. For each rectangle, there are simple motions available, you just need to select one of
the available modes. The scope of all the settings and the end positions are dened in the application in
a user friendly interface.
The areas defined by the rectangles create 8 SDI outputs (2 x 4 or 1 x 8).
Multiviewer (HDMI) output is used for preview and for device’s conguration. The device also has an
HDMI output Program that shows one of the frames or the transition effect between them.
MVP-100 means multiple applications and uses, as this device allows for a variety of effects that will
satisfy every professional engaged in production, broadcasting and also events’ live coverage with
theuse of audiovisual materials!

MVP-100’s capabilities are perfect for, among others, video image postproduction. The material
isrecorded with one or two video cameras at 4K resolution.
With MVP-100, you can not only change the composition, but also the shots. The end result will resemble
the usage of several cameras, and, with your mixer’s help, the transitions between them will be smooth
and natural. At the same time, this solution allows for the material to be realized by a single camera
operator – thus allowing the reduction of production costs. And the resulting material will still be of a high
quality and FullHD resolution, as if it was realized by several operators.

TRIGGER – CONNECTING A DEVICE TRIGGERING A SPECIFIC
MVP-100
Thanks to the GPIO connector, you can connect to your converter the external devices that automatically
trigger a specic MVP-100 Multi-camera unit process.
There are 8 inputs assigned for each of the windows, which means you also have 8 outputs at your
disposal. Such functionality has a huge number of applications for various industries and types of
recorded material.
For instance - in safety systems: when a person comes to a specic location, a signal can direct a camera
to the specied area. Similarly, for example, in the amusement park - it may be used to automatically
record ‚an adventure’ at the most important attractions as a souvenir for the participants. During a
football match, the camera can automatically zoom to the goal, when a ball (or a player) is in the vicinity.
And during the fashion show, in a specic place of the catwalk a full gure of a model can be shown, from
top to bottom, revealing all the details of presented creations. (picture below)
There are endless possibilities!

JOYSTICK – ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES OF CONTROLLING YOUR
VIRTUAL CAMERA
This functionality additionally significantly increases the utilization of MVP-100 Multi-camera unit
converter’s capabilities. A joystick in the external Reckeen MVP Control panel allows the operator to
control the virtual camera manually within the selected window. Thus, in each of the eight virtual camera
windows, both the software settings - for automatic control, as well as the manual control - using a
joystick, can be used.
One of the effects possible to achieve in this manner is a dynamic shooting with keeping track ofachosen
object or an important area. With the joystick, you can quickly and dynamically react totheoccurring
changes and capture all the relevant details.
All the position changes are shown in a graphic form at the MultiViewer outputs, which makes using the

joystick function very simple here. Reckeen MVP Control panel allows you to control multiple MVP-100
functions without having to use the control software on your computer. Both in the case of operators’
preferences and in many elds of application, it will undoubtedly be appreciated by the users due to the
speed and ease of use.
With such functionalities, MVP-100 Multi-camera unit with a single operator can act as almost anentire
