The User Interface (UI)

Here, we show how to access the MVP's web interface from your browser, including first-time setup and troubleshooting connection issues.


Connect & Power Up

  1. Connect via USB-C: Use the included USB-C cable to connect the MVP's HOST port to your computer.

    • The MVP powers on automatically when connected via USB-C HOST.

    • After a few seconds, the Status Display on the device will light up.

  2. Open your browser: Navigate to: http://mvp.local

Alternative URLs: You can also use the direct USB IP address:

  • Mac: http://192.168.3.1

  • Windows: http://192.168.2.1


First-Time Registration

On your first connection, the MVP will display a welcome dialog prompting you to:

  1. Connect to Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) for internet access

  2. Enter your email to register the device

Registration enables:

  • MVP Update notifications

  • Product support


Getting Around the UI

  1. Settings Icons: Once the Dashboard loads, you'll notice four icons on the top right corner.

  • Theme Icon: Choose between Dark and Light modes.

  • User Icon: Opens the MVP Registration dialog box.

  • WIFI Icon: Opens the WIFI Connection dialog box.

  • Settings Icon: Provides access to Ethernet Settings, System Settings, and this support site.

  1. Nav Bar Links: On the left side of the UI, you can navigate between the Dashboard, Videos, Lighting, and Timecode configuration pages.

Note: You can find details about each of those pages in their respective section.


Accessing the MVP Over Wi-Fi

You don't need to stay connected via USB to use the web interface. Once your MVP is connected to Wi-Fi:

  1. Find the MVP's Wi-Fi IP address on the Dashboard (Wi-Fi Status card) or the device's Status Display (shown on the HOME view scrolling ticker).

  2. On any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network, navigate to that address:

Anytime your MVP is powered on and connected to your WIFI router, you can use that IP address in your browser


Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Browser won't load mvp.local

  • Try a different browser: Some browsers cache DNS aggressively.

  • Clear your DNS cache if you previously accessed the MVP via a different network:

    • Mac: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

    • Windows: ipconfig /flushdns
