Magenta MultiView II AK1200 Quick Start Manual

MultiView™ II AK1200 Receiver:
The Magenta MultiView™ II AK1200 receiver extends a video, audio, and serial signals over standard CAT5
cable (also CAT5e and CAT6). There are user-configurable settings for video, audio, and serial options which can
be controlled from the front panel. For more details please refer to the complete MultiView™ II AK1200 User
Guide, available for download at

Required Tools / Hardware / Materials: Tools include a
(optional, for example: rack-mount, wall or under-desk mounting). Required materials include appropriate cables for your specific
application.
PRECAUTIONS: (1) Do not apply AC power until instructed to
do so. (2) 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!
Research LTD approved MultiView™ II power adapters. Failure
to do so may damage this device and will void the warranty.

Connect the VGA OUT
(HD15 connector) to the
display device.

Connect the CAT5 cable
via the LINK INPUT port.
CFG indicator:
Off = norm
On = Config mode-1
Flashing = Config mode-2

Power-up Check:

After all signal and power cables are connected, then apply AC power. The power-on indicator should light. If
there is a local monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor. If there is no image on the display, recheck all cables
and ensure the display is turned on. Also check that the EQ is properly set – this is most often the case when there is no display image.

Front Panel Controls: (

Refer to Figure-2) There are four buttons (CFG/MODE, SKEW/SEL, DOWN and UP), and several green
LED status indicators. These are used to control the operating modes of the receiver, and to display current status.
Status Indicators at power-up: When the MVII-AK1200 is first powered on, the status indicators will cycle through a test sequence,
then display the current EQ setting on LEDs 1-8. This is the "normal" mode of operation:

POWER-ON indicator is on.

CFG indicator is off.

SKEW/RGB indicator is off.

EQ/SQEW indicators display current EQ settings (0 to 100%).
As previously noted, it is critical that the EQ setting be adjusted to compensate for the length of CAT5 cable leading back to the
transmitter. Skew compensation adjustment (if your MVII-AK1200 is equipped with an AkuComp-II module) will also be important for
best image quality.
