DVI inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4

— These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with,

analog inputs 1 through 4. (However, the MGP cannot process input from two

different source devices connected to DVI and BNC connectors with the same input

number — for example, input 1— at the same time). The DVI inputs are available

only on the MGP 464/462xi DI and HD-SDI models.

N

Analog is not available on these DVI-I connectors.

HD-SDI inputs 1 and 2

— These inputs can be used instead of, or in combination with,

analog inputs 1 and 2. The HD-SDI inputs are only on the MGP 464/462xi HD-SDI.

N

Standard definition SDI is not supported on these HD-SDI inputs.
