ET-MWP100G

Technical Guide

Video Wall –A large 4x 4

video wall including up

scaling of HD video source.

Digital Signage –Rotated

displays ensure an eye

catching display.

Command & Control -

complex, linked Control

Rooms.

Input

A physical input into the mainframe. Most cards have two inputs per card except HD-SDI

which has 4 inputs.

Output A physical output from the mainframe. All cards have two outputs per card.

Window An input window placed on a canvas.

Canvas A number of video windows applied to a canvas.

Layout An arrangement of one or more screens that will have a layout displayed on it/them.

Layout and Canvas Concept

Layout

Defines how each output is used. Outputs

can be grouped together or used individu-

ally, and can be independently rotated

through 360° in real-time, without adding

additional delay, for use in creative video

wall applications. Multiple layouts can be

used at the same time or one layout can

be designed to tie multiple projectors or

displays together as one large image. Up

to 4 layouts can be used simultaneously.

Actual display units/projection

screens

From simple rectangles to complex for-

mations, screens or display units can be

configured into a variety of combinations.

Window

Up to 36 windows can be used

to design a canvas with the

capability to resize and rotate

each window 360° on the can-

vas. The order in which windows

overlap can also be set.

Output image

Images are displayed

in the set windows.

Canvas

Designates how input images are output to

screens or displays. Multiple canvases can be

used at the same time to define multiple lay-

outs to aid in choreographing a video design.

Up to 4 canvases can be stored to memory

and recalled anytime during operation, which

enables dynamic and impressive visual design.

Layout Capabilities

ET-MWP100G is able to display 4 layouts simultaneously.

In this simple example we are using 4 input

and 4 output slots with 8 sources feeding a

two projector blended image, a 2 x 2 video

wall, a monitoring screen showing all inputs

and outputs and a presenters confidence

monitor.

What is Universal DVI?

DVI-U stands for DVI Universal –a TV One lead standard that uses a series of DVI adaptors to

connect to a wide range of digital and analogue signals. With HDMI embedded audio is

possible:

Digital: HDMI, DVI-D, DVI-A

Analogue: RGBHV, RGBs, YUV, YPbP, CV and Y/C

The signal will be auto detected (except Y/C signals). This gives you much more flexibility and

means you do not waste any inputs or outputs.

Inputs + Output Connections

There are various types of modules which can be fitted to your CORIOmaster which must always

include a CPU module and a Power Supply.

For ease of identification the input/output cards are colour coded:-

¹Universal DVI allows the connection of a number of different adaptors for HDMI, VGA, Y/C,

Composite, etc.

²Although other modules have two connections; the HD-SDI card allows the connection of four HD-SDI

connections.

³ The DIGITAL LINK module allows for transmission of uncompressed, HDMI quality, video, audio and LAN

up to 100m, with good quality cabling. The card has two independent DIGITAL LINK outputs and a single

LAN input, supporting DIGITAL LINK.

Each output slots need to be assigned same layout thanks to the limitation of the processor.

For example, if you have 2 layouts, you can connect 2 outputs of one boards to one layouted displays.

However, if you connect to 2 different layout from one output board, you cannot assign.

User Interface

ET-MWP100G usesa common PC interface for control which features a number of menu

areas together with asset lists and controls.

The high level menus –Settings, Layouts, Canvases, Live and Comm Data –are used to configure

and use the system:-

Settings

General

This menu shows the software level and the number of inputs/outputs.

Ethernet

Used to configure the system for IP control of a ET-MWP100G.

Inputs

Physical inputs into the mainframe. Most cards have two inputs per card except HD-SDI which has 4

inputs. This menu is used to configure and rename Inputs.

Outputs

These are the physical outputs from the mainframe. All cards have two outputs per card. This menu

is used to configure and rename Inputs.

Save

We can save all of the System settings. This is important once changes have been made to ensure

they are saved on the mainframe.

Layouts

An arrangement of one or more output projectors or monitor screens that will have a Canvas

displayed on it.

Outputs

Used to select the physical outputs to be included on Canvases. A physical output can only be used

on a single Canvas.

Canvases

This menu is used to arrange a number of video windows applied to a Layout.

Layouts

A canvas can be applied to one or more Layouts –this is where we select which Layouts are used.

Inputs

The list of available system inputs is listed here. An input can be used multiple times.

Presets

Once we have set up a Canvas or a number of Canvases we can save them to Presets which can be

recalled in this menu or in the Live mode.

Live

In the Live menu we can recall Presets and change the video inputs being displayed.

Comm Data

Comm data shows a dynamic text view of the system operations. Plus text commands can also be

entered.

Log Out

As well as logging out of the software it is possible to save a copy of the system settings.

Getting Started

Control Software

ET-MWP100G is controlled using a Multi Window Processor software application in PC.

Software

Microsoft Windows XP + Windows 7,

Windows 8 (32 or 64 Bit)

Other applications

Microsoft.NET.4, Microsoft Silverlight

Connecting to ET-MWP100G

The initial connection between the ET-MWP100G and the control PC should be via RS232 using

the connector on the rear of the unit (using an USB to RS232 adaptor if your PC does not have

RS232).

Once connected, power up the unit –at first the ET-MWP100G will set its fans at full speed. As the

unit progresses through the power up sequence you will see that the lights on the input/output

modules will turn green before the final unit checks after which the LED indicator on the front panel

will change from red to green.

With the unit is initialised and ready to use, start the control software and login. If required the

Ethernet port on the ET-MWP100G can now be configure to allow the unit to be controlled over

a network.

Logging in

In the Settings area you can choose to control

the system via RS232 or using IP. The

maximum Log size can also be set.

Default TCP/IP setting:

IP address : 192.168.0.10

Port : 10001

Please make sure to turn-off wireless signal,

otherwise the system may get log-in failure.

Both of these settings can be edited whilst

logged in by using the General menu.

The View Log button displays the

Communications Log which shows all of the

actions being carried out by the system.

You can also Save Log to a text file if you wish to

keep a copy of the log.

The default Login details for your system is:

Username: admin

Password: adminpw

Change IP Address:

In order to change IP address for ET-MWP100G,

need to connect via serial cable.

After log-in via serial cable, you can change IP

address in "Settings" >"Ethernet" after click "Take"

button.

Configuring Inputs and Outputs

Before you can start to create Canvases and Layouts you must first set up your Inputs and

Outputs using the Settings Menu.

In the Settings menu you can access General system

data, set up Ethernet network connections and we set

up the Inputs and Outputs.

Please configure how many displays planning to use for the system since the system requires

reboot to change window configuration.

EHQ(Extra High Quality) is used for full screen which requires detail data, letters and drawing on

large format displays and HQ is normally selected for video contents.

All use Panasonic’s high quality interpolation and resizing algorithms so it is not possible to compare

directly but the sizes of the Windows are based on following configuration:

Window Configuration preferable source

Extra High Quality Suitable for detail data, letters and

High Quality Video contents, Presentation

-EHQ

- HQ

- PW Preview

scaled resolution

- up to 1920 x 1200

- up to 1024 x 1200

-up to 224 x 128 Preview Monitor, signal check

Window Configuration

There are correlation between EHQ and HQ; 1 EHQ =2HQ.

There is system limitation for max. number of windows. Besides system limitation, there is window

limitation for one canvas too.

ie) use 8EHQ and 8HQ in 8 EHQ mode

A)If using just one canvas

Max. windows are 8EHQ, 0HQ.

B)If using several canvases

You can use more windows

in the system

Canvas#1 8EHQ

Canvas#2 0EHQ, 8HQ
