Mains Power Supply Safety 2.2
2.2 Mains Power Supply
The AC mains voltage (240/100 volts) will be auto-detected, provided it is in the range
100-240V AC 50/60Hz.
Fuses:
• Vega-16MV, Vega-32MV:
A 3.15A fuse is fitted. A spare fuse is located under a pull-out flap.
•Power Supply Shelf:
An 8A fuse is fitted. A spare fuse is located under each pull-out flap.
2.3 Health and Safety Considerations
• The Installation and Maintenance of the unit and any associated equipment must be
carried out by persons suitably qualified to work with equipment which may be
connected to the mains supply.
• Incorrect installation can cause internal components to rupture and particles to be
ejected from the product.
• Toxic fume hazards exist if the unit is subjected to direct flames or excessive
temperature of above 100°C ambient.
• The mounting and installation of the unit must be arranged by the user to comply with
all current local safety regulations.
Note:
A mains cable with a minimum rating of 10A, fitted with a 10A fuse is recommended.
WARNINGS:
• This equipment may have more than one power supply:
i.e. Mains (IEC inlet) and 24V DC backup.
• The IEC power inlet is the AC mains disconnection device for the unit.
• Disconnect all the power sources to the unit before servicing, to reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
• Electric shock hazards exist if conductive instruments, neck chains or fingers etc.
are placed within the unit or in close proximity of the input/output
terminals/connectors.
Before undertaking unit maintenance:
• Disconnect & isolate a unit from sources of power.
Thus:
•The unit must be disconnected & isolated from:
• AC mains supply.
• Any backup power supplies.
• All other product outputs. (i.e. disconnect unit inputs.)
•Power Supply Shelf must be disconnected & isolated from:
• All of its AC mains inputs.
• Any units that the power supply shelf is powering.

Functional Description Product Introduction 3.5
3.5 Functional Description
The Vega-MV comprises a video router and a multiviewer. Figure 3 shows the system
architecture.
The video inputs and router outputs support video standards up to 4K. The video inputs form
both the router inputs and the multiviewer inputs.
Router Block:
The router block comprises an N x N router. The router is controllable from an external
controller or control panel.
MV Crosspoint Block:
The MV crosspoint block comprises an N x N crosspoint switch which permits a multiviewer
input to be connected to any Vega-MV video input. This allows the multiviewer to show the
same video source with different on-screen scaling or to follow a destination output of the
internal router.
Figure 3 Vega-MV Block Diagram

Vega-MV Router Multiviewer - User Manual
Issue 1 Revision 2 Page 19 © 2017 SAM
Functional Description Product Introduction 3.5
Multiviewer Block:
The multiviewer video inputs are routed from the Vega-MV video inputs via the MV Crosspoint
block. There are no separate controls for the MV crosspoint. SDI sources from any video
input can be assigned to any on-screen multiviewer tile.
The multiviewer inputs are processed by the multiviewer block. Video images are scaled and
other information is extracted, including audio levels, for display on the multiviewer display
outputs.
Video images are resized in scalers to form small images for video tiles; audio level and
status information is added and combined with some on-screen graphics to form the different
multiviewer display tiles. The tiles are arranged to form the final multiviewer display outputs.
Video sources can be layered in any order and any multiviewer input can be assigned onto
each display output.
There are two independent HDMI multiviewer display outputs (heads), each with a quad-link
SDI copy output.
LAN 1:
A network interface for control and media, for both the router and multiviewer blocks. It is also
used for firmware upgrades.
LAN 0:
A network interface for NTP connections. It is also used for firmware upgrades (upgrade of
Vega-MV’s MV-NET card only).
Network and Control:
The Network and Control block carries out the following functions:
• Passes video genlock information to the router and multiviewer.
• Passes LTC and NTP time information to the router and multiviewer.
• Controls the unit’s GPI/O ports.
• Controls the unit’s cooling fans.
• Interfaces to the unit’s front panel, including:
OLED display, control knob, status LEDs, USB port and headphones socket.
