About this Manual Chapter 1 About this Manual This manual contains information about the Magenta MultiView™ II T4 transmitter (hereafter referred to simply as “T4”). This includes: • • • • • Product overview (Chapter 2). Product specifications (Chapter 3). Installation and configuration instructions (Chapter 4) Troubleshooting (Chapter 5). Additional information (Appendices).
Product Overview Chapter 2 Product Overview The Magenta MultiView™ II T4 transmitter extends an analog video signal over standard CAT5 cable (also CAT5e and CAT6). It accepts analog video (VGA, RGB and other analog formats), audio (analog or S/PDIF) or serial (RS-232 simplex) signals. These are converted to MultiView™-compatible signals, provided over 4 UTP output ports. The T4 also features an enhanced front-panel interface for user-configuration and DDC/EDID management.
Specifications Chapter 3 3.1 Specifications General Specifications Item Description Cable Required Category 5, 5e, 6 cable. Shielded or unshielded twisted pair. Low-skew. Compliance CE, FCC Class A, IC Class / Class A, UL listed I.T.E Device, RoHS. Video Support RGBHV, RGB, Composite, S-Video, and Component Video modes. Resolution & Refresh Rate To 1920x1200 @ 70Hz. Maximum Distance To 2000 ft, receiver dependent. Interface Signal Details Video-input: Standard VGA (HD-15) video connection.
Specifications 3.2 DDC/EDID Support For best compatibility with source devices (ex: a PC), an extension device (T4 in this case) should provide an appropriate DDC/EDID profile with the proper resolution and timing information. This helps ensure best compatibility with display devices connected at the remote end.
Specifications 3.3 Auxiliary Signal Support The MVII-T4 design supports three types of auxiliary signals. Two are available pre-configured from the factory. The third option is easily user-selectable from the front-panel buttons. Note that only one type of signal is supported at a time: • • • Factory option, MVII-T4-A: o Supports L+R summed audio. Factory option, MVII-T4-S: o Provides simplex (TX-only) serial data, even with daisy-chained receivers. o Data is transmitted to all attached receivers.
Installation Chapter 4 Installation CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the Magenta MultiView™ II Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B wiring specification. Figure 1 T568B CAT5 Specification We also highly recommend that all CAT5 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the Magenta MultiView™ devices.
Installation 4.2 Installation Procedure All units must be the same type for all supported features to function correctly. For example, a “T4-S” transmitter must be connected to a MultiView™ “-S” type receiver for the serial interface to function properly. You cannot mix one version of a T4 with a different version of a MultiView™ receiver. Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not. Ensure all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the connections.
Installation At the receiver end (these steps are generic - refer to the appropriate receiver manual): 1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT connector to the display, and attach any audio (AUX I/O) and/or serial connections depending on the model of MultiView™ receiver and option module installed. 2. Connect the CAT5 cable to the LINK IN connector. If you are daisy-chaining multiple receivers, also connect the downstream CAT5 cable to the LINK OUT port on the receiver. 3. Apply power to the receiver. a.
Installation 4.3 Configuration The T4 has a number of configurable operating parameters, and the factory-default settings will work in most applications. However, some applications may require configuration changes. Nearly all settings are available from the front-panel buttons/LEDs. The enclosure does not need to be opened, as there are no userconfiguration settings or jumpers inside. 4.3.
Installation 4.3.4 Config Mode-1: Sync-mode Options The T4 is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched). This mode is generally compatible with all existing MultiView™ receiver products that support RepliSync (if they are also using their factory-default settings). However, some video sources may require a custom sync-mode setting (most especially at 1080p and 1920x1200 video resolutions).
Installation 4.3.6 Config Mode-2: Video Coupling Select AC or DC coupling, and DC-restore functions, to be applied to the input video. (starting in normal-mode) Press and release the CFG button twice to access configuration-mode-2. CFG indicator = flashing. LED1 LED2 Front Panel View Video Options Mode dim dim Auto-detect AC/DC coupling mode based on input signal. This is the factory-default mode.
Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ II CAT5 Video System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most common installation errors and their solutions.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution When utilizing a receiver’s RJ45 daisy chain port, the following rules apply: Notes on daisy chaining • If using L/R summed audio, simplex serial, or SPDIF units, a maximum of 12 units may be daisy changed within the rated cable length of the receiver. • When daisy chaining, the maximum cable distance is not increased beyond the rated distance of the receiver used. For example, an AK600 can only daisy chain within 600 ft of the transmitter.
