Chapter 5 Installation
This section describes the following installation topics:
 Data mode configuration
 Prerequisites to installation
 Installation procedure
 Post-installation adjustments
 Post-installation configuration settings
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution through an Ethernet network.
Do not connect these devices to any sort of networking or telecommunications equipment!
Do not connect DC power until instructed to do so.
5.1 Option-Module Configuration
If your MVII-DVI-Tx transmitter is equipped with the (SAP) option, then the following information will be
important to review BEFORE installing the –SAP equipped receiver:
The companion -SAP equipped receiver (MVII-DVI-Rx-1K, or legacy –SAP type receivers) offers pollable
RS232 duplex serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial interface is 3-wire (TX, RX, GND) and does not
support full modem signals. The factory-default serial baud rate is 9600 baud, but this is a user-configurable
option using “SAP-II” serial commands. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes by
simply using the TX signal only. The SAP-module capability of polling and interacting with specific receivers
requires that each receiver have a unique address setting. Please refer to Appendix-B for (SAP) module
configuration information, and Appendix-C for SAP-address settings.
5.2 Prerequisites
Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related
hardware (mounting screws) might be required. These are not provided with Magenta products.
The following items might be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research:
 Audio cable: Phoenix 4-pin to RCA.
 Video cable(s): DVI (or HDMI with an appropriate DVI/HDMI adapter)
 Serial cable: Phoenix 4-pin to DB9, or one of several DB9-M/F, M/M or F/F extension cables.
Note: You will need appropriate twisted-pair cable as previously described, to connect the MVII-DVI-Tx to other
MultiView™ devices. tvONE does not supply this cable.
5.3 Installation Procedure
Ensure that all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the
connections. Appropriate connector locking hardware (screws/latches) should be used to
prevent cables from disconnecting or causing intermittent operation.
All units must be the same type for 4
th
-pair supported features to function correctly. For
example, a “MVII-DVI-Tx-A” must be paired with a MVII-DVI-Rx-1K-A, as both must be
identical to work properly. Similarly, an “MVII-DVI-Tx-SAP” can only be used with an MVII-
DVI-Rx-1K-SAP”. Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not.
