3. Special Notice
1. In order to avoid network traffic congestion, please do not submit parameters before the last
modification is applied.
2. In order to avoid hardware loose contact caused by continuous operations on the front panel,
please do your second operation after you have gotten the first operation result.
3. Generally, it will spend about three seconds to get the results after you submit. The time is related
with the monitor type. If the time is too long (over 7seconds), maybe there is something abnormal
with the hardware’s working status (overheating for example), please wait patiently.

Channels in the drop-down list are all located on Screen , and then choose one of them. When the
input source is HD/SD signal, eight channel HD/SD audio signals can be embedded into the HDMI and
HDSDI output signal.
This function aims to adjust aspect ratio of video image. There are two types of video display: Full
channel and Original proportion.
Full channel means the video image will cover the entire channel and ignore the aspect ratio of video
signal.
Original proportion means the video image always keeps the aspect ratio of video signal even though
the ratio of the channel or the size of UMD and Audio meters are changed. So for SD input signal, the
aspect ratio of video image is 4:3;And for HD input signal, it is 16:9.
This function aims to adjust aspect ratio of virtual channel. Aspect ratio contains 4:3, 16:9, and Free
Ratio.
4:3-The size of channels can be changed following the aspect ratio of 4:3.
16:9- The size of channels can be changed following the aspect ratio of 16:9.
Free Ratio- The size of channels can be changed freely following any aspect ratio.

Several channels can be configured at the same time. If the detection parameters of each channel
Audio Overload
It will prompt a warning picture as soon as the audio level overloads the threshold you have settled.
It provides 8 audio channels detection. And there is a box in front of each audio channel. This
detection will take effect only the box is checked. The threshold and duration of detection can be
configured for detection of each audio channel. The threshold means a maximum audio level. When
actual volume is above this threshold, the system will prompt warning of audio overload.

"Network has been configured successfully, please turn off the power and restart the device again.”
Restart the device, enter the new IP address in IE address and the web software will be opened.
Configure the “Manager IP” to be the local IP address of computer for Voice Alarm. The computer and
MVS series should be in the same network segment. And Trap common and Trap port are for SNMP of
Configure the “NTP Server” to be the IP address of NTP server for NTP timing. And the NTP server and
User can also upgrade system under this label. Before the upgrade, the anti-virus software and
firewall have to be closed to make sure that the upgrade data is transmitted to MVS series system
without rejection. Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 system are strongly
recommended to upgrade the system with Internet Explorer.exe.
There are two items for upgrading, such as main DSP, slave DSP , if there are new version released,
we will supply 1-5files named according to the items name. Each item should be upgraded separately
one by one from main DSP. Power and network cannot be cut off during upgrading. When system is
upgraded successfully, please turn off the power and restart the device again. It takes about 30
