MV-32/64 Multiviewer www.snellgroup.com Operation

4. Operation

The front panel incorporates two USB-2 sockets and three LED indicators for status reporting.

A power switch is situated behind the removable front panel to the far right of the frame. The

front panel pulls away and pivots downwards after first loosening the pair of retaining screws.

The time taken to complete the boot cycle will depend principally on the number of video

cards fitted. For example, a multiviewer fitted with four video cards takes about 70 seconds to

boot. Each additional video card adds about 5 seconds to the boot cycle.

The MV-32/MV-64 multiviewers can be configured and controlled via the LAN, using browser

software operating on a remote PC.

4.1 Initial setup

The multiviewers are supplied with the factory default IP address: 192.168.0.120. In the case

of the dual multiviewer frame (MV-32), the second CPU module has the default IP address:

192.168.0.121.

In the event that the multiviewer IP address is unknown, a simple PC utility is available from

Snell Customer Support, see page 7 for contact details. This PC utility searches for

multiviewer frames on the PC’s network and enables their IP address to be revealed and

changed if required.

The currently set IP address is always indicated on the display output during the boot cycle.

However, this may not be visible should the MV-32/MV-64 multiviewer resolution setting not

match the display device at that time.

Note:

To maintain adequate cooling, the frame must not be run for more than 1 minute with the

front panel open.
