MVP®

Expect the Best, Accept no Substitutes!

VistaLINK® enabled
Thumblink™ Enabled

The MVP® is the next generation in Multi-Image Display Processor technology, boasting the most flexible and feature rich platform available, making it ideal for all applications where video/audio monitoring and display are required. The MVP® architecture is revolutionary in its approach to NOT use a PC platform at the core of its operation. By doing so the MVP® platform is "bulletproof" and well suited for 24/7 mission critical environments. Combine its "bulletproof" architecture with the simple and intuitive control interface and you have a system perfect for any control room.

Evertz now also offers a completely integrated Master Control environment when interfacing the MVP® with the Quartz line of Master Control products plus the facility monitoring capability of VistaLINK® PRO software.

3000DCP MVP® Remote Control Panel

3000DCP

The 3000DCP desktop control panel, provides an easy to use interface to the MVP for recalling presets and performing on display window selection. The 3000DCP allows for the simple recall of up to 20 presets per display to a total of 20 displays. Multi-purpose buttons allow the user to program specific functions into the DCP, functions like salvo recalls of entire walls or "emergency" display fail over conditions. The shaft encoder and direction buttons allow for on screen selection. Remote connection of the DCP is provided via Ethernet, the panel can be placed anywhere in the facility provided it is on the same Ethernet network as the MVP. Interactive dot matrix display allows for simple feedback from the DCP when performing operations.
