Naming Inputs
First things first. Let’s name the inputs. It will make things far easier later. Please press the “Src
Name/LCD Color” button which will take use to menu 7322.6. This table represents all the inputs, both
physical and other sources in the switcher like Frame Memory outputs. Select your first input you’d like
to label and press the “Source Name” button, below. Notice it has a small picture of a keyboard. That
just means when you press that button a virtual keyboard will come up on the screen. (Tip…. If you like
a real keyboard, you can connect a USB keyboard to the USB port on the panel).
Before you type in a name, there are a few rules and tips:
• A name must be 8 characters or less.
• The LCD displays have two lines. If you use 4 characters there is an automatic carriage return to
line 2. When you have an automatic carriage return, don’t put in a space or you won’t see your
name correctly. For instance, let’s say you had a source you wanted to label “ROUT 1”. You
need to enter it as “ROUT1” without any space between the ROUT and the 1. On the display
ROUT will take the first line and 1 will be centered on the second line.
• If you have a name that you want less than 4 characters on the first line and you also want a
second line (for example, CAM 1), don’t use a space as MVS will see a space as the fourth
character and your “CAM” will be left justified and the “1” will be nicely centered below it.
Instead, use the pipe ( | ) symbol, which is SHIFT \ (Shift and backslash right above the enter
key). The pipe symbol tells MVS to immediately carriage return. So to get something like CAM
1, both lines centered, you need to enter the name as “CAM|1”. Try it, you’ll see.
• There is a great shortcut for naming sequential inputs. Let’s say you have 7 cameras and I don’t
want to type “CAM|x” seven times. This trick only works if the inputs are next to each other. In
the naming table, select the first input let’s say Input 3), next move knob #3 on the right side of
the menu display until you’ve highlighted all the “cameras” you want to name. With all your
cameras highlighted, press the keyboard button and enter the first name “CAM|1” then press
enter. It will increment the rest for you! There is one catch… You can only auto-name a single
