2 Warnings and Precautions
The hardware modules covered by this user manual are not mains powered. The hardware
modules must be fitted into a mains powered frame, host equipment, for operation.
2.1 Explanation of Safety Symbols
2.2 Safety Warnings
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating
Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Always ensure that the host equipment is properly earthed and power connections correctly
made.
The host equipment must be supplied from a power system providing a PROTECTIVE
EARTH connection and having a neutral connection which can be reliably identified.
The power circuit breakers or switches supplying power to the host equipment should be
close to the unit and easily accessible.
2.3 Lithium Batteries

CAUTION

MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer User Manual Fiber Output Modules Warning Warnings and Precautions
Issue 1 Rev 6 Page 10 © 2017 SAM
2.4 Fiber Output Modules Warning
2.5 Power Requirements
Before adding an MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer to a Sirius 800 router check that the power
supplies fitted can supply sufficient power to the router. See the Sirius 800 User Manual for
router power requirements and contact SAM Support for advice.
2.6 Cable Management
It is important that the cabling to and from the multiviewer is correctly labelled and routed.
This will simplify the work required if the installation needs to be changed or added to at a
future date.
LASER SAFETY
The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal
operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct
exposure to the laser beam.
Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution
and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause
irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines
carefully:
• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is
applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patch cord) is already connected to an output, make
sure that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.
•Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser
wavelengths being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause
permanent damage. Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical
power meter, to verify light output.
• Cables connected to the multiviewer must be fitted with adequate vertical and
horizontal strain relief to avoid twisting of the rear panels causing damage to the
MV-800 rear connectors and loss of electrical/signal connection to the multiviewer
or monitor displays.
• Cables connected to the multiviewer should be routed so they do not cover any of
the frame fan exhausts as this can restrict airflow through the router.

MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer User Manual Integration into Sirius 800 Routers Product Overview
Issue 1 Rev 6 Page 16 © 2017 SAM
3.4 Integration into Sirius 800 Routers
The MV-800 Multiviewer fits into dedicated multiviewer module slots in a Sirius 800 router
frame. More than one MV-800 may be fitted to a router.
The Sirius 800 internal router architecture allows the MV-800 to tap into the signal flow within
the router at the input signals, just before the main router crosspoint. Figure 2 shows a Sirius
800 router block diagram which includes up to three MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer units.
The MV-800 uses a Sirius Multiviewer Crosspoint module (MV Crosspoint) to select which of
the router inputs the MV-800 can monitor. This is an auxiliary crosspoint which is dedicated to
multiviewer use. A Sirius 800 Multiviewer Crosspoint module is required for the MV-800.
Thus, the addition of an MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer into a Sirius router retains the router’s:
• Main outputs.
• Main Crosspoint redundancy.
• Processing capability on all router inputs and outputs.

3.6 MV-800 Components
The MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer option consists of some hardware modules fitted into front
and rear slots of a Sirius 800 router frame. The multiviewer may be purchased already fitted
into a new Sirius 800 router from SAM or bought separately as a hardware upgrade option, to
be fitted to an existing Sirius 800 router. One or more MV-800’s may be fitted to a router.
Section 4 “Hardware Module Installation” shows which Sirius router slots are used for the
MV-800.
When fitting the MV-800 into an existing router, the relevant router slots may already be used
by other Sirius 800 option modules and, in this case, some or all of those modules need to be
removed as part of the MV-800 installation.
For example, an existing router may already be fitted with the Sirius Multiviewer Output option
(i.e. router SDI outputs provided for an external multiviewer).
If in doubt, contact SAM Support.
The MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer requires:
• 1-off router front module slot and its corresponding rear module slot, per MV-800, in a
router frame.
• 1-off Sirius 5902 Multiviewer Crosspoint module fitted to the router.
• Sirius 800 router controller software version 3.17.4 or later.
• SAM RollCall Control Panel software version 4.16.11 or later.
• SAM Fusion Client software version 1.0 or later.
One MV-800 comprises a front module (5934) and a rear module (1312). Several factors
determine the parts required for an MV-800 installation, including:
• Model of Sirius router.
• Existing router options fitted.
• How many MV-800’s are being fitted to the router.
The list of front modules, rear panels etc. required for an MV-800 installation is given in
Table 2.

3.7 MV-800-DT Desktop Multiviewer Option Overview
The MV-800-DT desktop multiviewer provides live video wall capabilities to a PC, extending
the capabilities of the MV-800.
Live information on a MV-800-DT video wall includes video, audio levels and alarms. The
MV-800-DT can display the same video wall as an MV-800 unit or it can show a different
video wall layout.
An MV-800 Multiviewer produces streamed versions of each of its 48 multiviewer inputs. The
input video is scaled to SD video size, streamed and multicast from a designated MV-800
network port.
The MV-800-DT is a licensed feature. The license is issued by a license server software
application, typically running on a separate PC.
One MV-800 Multiviewer can provide video streams to more than one MV-800-DT video wall.
One MV-800-DT can display live information from more than one MV-800 Multiviewer.
Thus, “One-to-Many” and “Many-to-One” video wall topologies are possible, see Figure 5,
and Figure 6 shows other flexible MV-800-DT possibilities.
