Page 6: Chapter 1 About This Manual
Additional information (Appendices). The Magenta MultiView™ II family of products introduces greater compatibility for handling HD video standards, as well as making nearly all user-configurable options “jumperless” via a digital front-panel user-interface. The DVI-TX is available in five factory-configured versions: ... -
Page 7: Chapter 2 Product Overview
Chapter 2 Product Overview The DVI-TX is a video transmitter compatible with the entire Magenta MultiView™ family of products. This is the first device capable of effectively bridging the digital-to-analog gap. Previously, MultiView™ video extension and distribution systems were only compatible with analog video standards. The DVI-TX allows high-resolution DVI digital video to be fed into an otherwise purely analog system, not only for new systems, but also enabling digital-video upgrades to existing MultiView™... -

Page 9: Dvi Interface
Specifications DVI Interface The DVI interfaces (video-in and local video-out) have the following characteristics: Item Description Video Support Video input formats (video input port): Maximum resolution supported = 1080p or 1920x1200. Maximum color-depth = 24 bits per pixel (8 bits per color). Maximum refresh rate = 60Hz @ 1920x1200. -
Page 10: Ddc/Edid Support
Specifications DDC/EDID Support For best compatibility with source devices (ex: a PC), an extension device (DVI-TX 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. The DVI-TX supports a simple yet very flexible DDC/EDID 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 DVI-TX-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
– with the absolute minimum amount of signal degradation possible. 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 products. -
Page 14: 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 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. -
Page 15: Installation Procedure
At the DVI-TX transmitter end: Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView™ II Series transmitter video input port, which is a standard DVI connector labeled DVI IN. If desired, attach a local monitor to the DVI connector labeled LOCAL OUT. - Page 16 Installation 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™ receiver and option module installed.

Page 17: Configuration
Installation Configuration 4.3.1 User-Configurable Settings The DVI-TX 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 unless an option module is being installed or removed, or settings specific to the option module need to be changed. -
Page 18: Ddc/Edid Settings
This is the factory default mode which uses generic DDC/EDID 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 19: Sync Settings
Installation Sync Settings The DVI-TX 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). -
Page 20: Th Pair Settings
Installation Pair Settings The DVI-TX provides several options for using the 4 -pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). Note that any connected MultiView™ receiver must be configured with a matching 4 -pair operating mode. Otherwise, the desired 4 -pair signal will not work as expected. -
