Page 10: Ddc Support
Specifications DDC Support For best compatibility with source devices (e.g. a PC), an extension device (XRTx in this case) should provide an appropriate DDC profile with the proper resolution and timing information. This helps ensure best compatibility with display devices connected at the remote end. The XRTx supports a simple yet very flexible DDC management scheme: •... -
Page 11: Auxiliary Signal Support
The option module (232/SA/SAP) is a factory-installed option. However, a field upgrade to a (232), (SA) or (SAP) version is possible. It will require some minor technical skill to install the module. Please contact Magenta Research for information and assistance for these upgrades. -
Page 12: Auxiliary Signal Support: (232) Version
Specifications 3.4.2 Auxiliary Signal Support: (232) Version The XRTx-232 comes equipped with an internal hardware (232) option module, enabling full-duplex RS-232 serial. This includes hardware handshaking signal support. Note that the (232) module itself does have some user-configurable settings which must be selected by internal jumpers (not through the front-panel buttons). It is important to set these internal jumpers correctly for your specific application. -
Page 13: Auxiliary Signal Support: (Sap) Version
Magenta Research products are compatible with standard CAT5/5e/6 data cabling as well as specialized “low skew” cabling manufactured primarily for video applications. Note that some “low skew” cabling is specific to a particular equipment vendor or application and may not compatible with MultiView™... - Page 14 Some CAT6 cable can exhibit much greater skew than standard CAT6 and may require skew compensation beyond what the standard product offers. Please contact Magenta Research for assistance. The CAT5/5e/6 cable should be suitably rated Listed cable (DUZX) communication cables, TYPE CMP, CMR, CMG or CM as designated in the NEC.

Page 15: Chapter 4 Installation
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 3: 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. -
Page 16: Installation Procedure
To install the XRTx at the transmitter end: Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView™ II Series transmitter video input port, which is a standard VGA connector labeled VGA IN. If desired, attach a local monitor to the VGA connector labeled LOCAL OUT. - Page 17 Installation To install the XRTx at the receiver end (these steps are generic - refer to the appropriate receiver manual): Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT connector to the display, and attach any audio (AUX I/O) and/or serial connections (IOIO) depending on the model of MultiView™ II receiver and option module installed.

Page 18: Configuration
Installation Configuration This section describes how to configure the following settings: • User-configurable settings • DDC settings 4.3.1 User-Configurable Settings The XRTx 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. -
Page 19: Ddc Settings
DDC profile generic DDC information stored within the transmitter. It is also referred to as the Magenta Magic profile, and it is comprised of a set of common video resolutions which are intended to support the most popular VESA standards in standard or widescreen formats. -
Page 20: Sync Settings
Installation Sync Settings The XRTx is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched). This mode is generally compatible with all existing MultiView™ and MultiView™ II 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). -
Page 21: Th Pair Settings
Installation Pair Settings The XRTx provides several options for using the 4 -pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). Note that any connected MultiView™ or MultiView™ II receiver must be configured with a matching 4 -pair operating mode. Otherwise, the desired 4 -pair signal will not work as expected. -
Page 22: Video Coupling Settings
Installation Video Coupling Settings The video input for the XRTx can be configured for AC coupling (with or without DC-restore function), DC coupling, or auto-detect. Perform the procedure below while the transmitter is in the normal operating state (CFG indicator is off): Press and release the CFG button twice to access configuration-mode-2 (CFG indicator is flashing). -

Connector Pinouts Appendix A Connector Pinouts Serial port (IOIO) Connector Pinout (232/SA/SAP versions only) The XRTx’s serial port connector is configured to look like a standard 9-pin “DCE” serial port. Therefore, in most applications a straight through serial cable or adapter-plug (DB9-Female-to-Male) is used to connect an external serial device (for example, a PC) to the XRTx transmitter. - Page 26 Connector Pinouts Auxiliary I/O (AUX-I/O) Connector Pinout Pin #1 Pin #4 Figure 5: 4-pin Phoenix Connector Pinout Table 17: 4-pin Phoenix Pins XRTx XRTx-232 XRTx-SA XRTx-SAP SPDIF Composite PIN# Simplex SA Audio* SAP Audio Audio Audio Video Serial Left Left Left Signal + Signal +...
