This Magenta Research product is compatible with Cat 7 FTP data cabling. CatX cabling for the Magenta MultiView™ Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B wiring specification (see appendix A) We also highly recommend that all cables be pre-terminated and tested.
Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not. At the transmitter end (refer to the transmitter user guide) : 1. Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView Series transmitter video input port, which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN or VIDEO IN.
CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION 4. Connect the CAT7 cable to the transmitter. 5. Apply power on the transmitter. The LED should light and, if there’s a local monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor’s screen. At the receiver end: 1.
The MultiView™ Video System SA/SAP series supports RS-232, video and stereo audio signals over CAT5 cable. SAP offers pollable serial modes so a bi-directional serial session can be established with a receiver in a daisy chain. The Magenta MultiView T4, T5 transmitters do not support SA/SAP versions.
This is because the adjustments are specific to the type and length of UTP cable being used. In order to get the highest quality video signals from your MultiView AK500 C7, please follow the instructions and diagrams below: An image file is available for download at www.magenta-research.com/test to assist in these settings.
