About this Manual Chapter 1 About this Manual This manual describes the Magenta MultiView™ II AK600DP and AK1200DP receivers, and contains the following information: Product overview (Chapter 2) Product specifications (Chapter 3) Installation and configuration instructions (Chapter 4) ...
Product Overview Chapter 2 Product Overview The MVII-AK600(1200)DP is a video receiver that is compatible with the entire MultiView™ family of products. It extends an analog video signal over standard CAT cable (CAT5, 5x, 6, 7 etc). There are user-configurable settings for video, audio, and serial options which can be controlled from the front panel.
Product Overview Rear Panel Interfaces The rear panel of the MVII-AK600(1200)DP has the following ports: DB9 serial port (optional, on SAP Auxiliary model only) signals DC power Video output UTP (link) UTP (link) input port to display input port output port Figure 2: MVII-AK600(1200)DP Rear Panel Interfaces MultiView™...
Specifications Chapter 3 Specifications This section describes the following specifications: General specifications Category cable compatibility General Specifications The following table lists the general specifications of the MVII-AK600(1200)DP. Table 2: MVII-AK600(1200)DP General Specifications Item Description Cable Required Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable. Shielded or unshielded twisted pair. Low-skew. Compliance CE;...
Specifications Twisted-Pair Cable Compatibility MultiView products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling, as well as “minimized skew” CAT5/5e cabling (also referred to as “low-skew”) manufactured specifically for video applications. Follow these tips to ensure proper usage of your Category cabling: ...
Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related hardware (mounting screws) might be required. These are not provided with Magenta products. The following items might be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research: Audio cable: Phoenix 4-pin to RCA.
Installation Installation Procedure Ensure that all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the connections. Appropriate connector locking hardware (screws/latches) should be used to prevent cables from disconnecting or causing intermittent operation. All units must be the same type for 4 -pair supported features to function correctly.

Installation To install the MVII-AK600(1200)DP receiver: Connect the VGA OUT connector to the display. Connect any audio and/or serial cables to the (AUX I/O) and (IOIO) connectors, depending on the specific model of receiver you are installing. Please refer to the –S/A, –SAP option descriptions for more information.
Installation Adjustments This section describes how to make the following adjustments: Cable distance (EQ) compensation Skew compensation 4.4.1 Cable Distance (EQ) Compensation Settings When the MVII-AK600(1200)DP is operating in normal mode (CFG indicator is off), it is possible to quickly adjust the EQ.
Installation 4.4.2 Skew Compensation Settings If the AkuComp-II skew module is installed, it is possible to quickly adjust the RGB values when the MVII- AK600(1200)DP is operating in normal mode. The EQ/SKEW indicators 1-8 will change accordingly to show (in “bargraph”...
Installation Configuration Settings There are a number of configurable operating parameters, and the factory-default settings should work for most applications. However, some applications might require slight configuration changes. This section describes how to configure the following settings: Config-1 mode, LEDs 1-2: Sync-mode settings ...
Installation 4.5.2 Sync-mode Settings (LED1-2) The receiver is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched). This mode is generally compatible with all existing MultiView transmitter and receiver products that support RepliSync (if they are also using their default settings). However, some video sources may require a custom sync-mode setting (especially at 1080p and 1920x1200 video resolutions).
Installation 4.5.3 Pair Settings (LED4-6) The receiver provides several options for using the 4 -pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). The factory-default setting (-S/A) supports summed L+R analog audio on the 4 -pair. Note that the connected MultiView transmitter and any daisy-chained receivers must be configured with a matching 4 -pair operating mode.
Installation 4.5.4 Vsync Polarity Settings (LED7) The receiver provides settings for Vsync polarity: (+) or (-). The factory default setting is (+) Vsync polarity, or “ON” for configuration LED 7. Perform the following procedure while the receiver is in the normal operating state (CFG indicator is off): Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON.
Installation 4.5.6 Clamp-mode Settings (CFG2: LED1-2) The receiver allows you to select the video clamp-mode. Perform the following procedure while the receiver is in the normal operating state (CFG indicator is off): Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON. Release the CFG button. LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-1 configuration settings as bright/off.
Installation 4.5.7 Pair Termination Settings (CFG2: LED3) pair termination: ON or OFF. This setting has an effect only for “-S/A” and The AK600 provides settings for 4 S/PDIF operating modes. -pair setting if an option board is installed – since this setting is ignored. Note: It is not possible to access the 4 ...
Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ video system can be resolved by checking the Category cable 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. The following table lists the most common installation errors and their solutions.

Connector Pinouts Serial port (IOIO) Connector Pinout If the receiver is a “-SAP” version, then the serial interface will be provided on the “IOIO” connector. This is a DB9-M type serial connector, configured to look like a standard 9-pin “DTE” 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 display’s serial control port) to the receiver.

Connector Pinouts DC Power Connector tvONE provides ready-to-use power supplies for MultiView™ II products. However, if there is a reason a substitute power supply must be used, then the following information is important for maintaining product reliability and performance: Magenta AC/DC Power supply output rating: Regulated +5VDC @ 2.6Amps.
Skew Module Installation Appendix A Skew Module Installation The AK600(1200)DP receivers have an optional skew compensation module that can be installed or removed. To install the Skew Module: Figure 14: AK-600DP receiver, cover removed. Disconnect external DC power and remove the top cover. In the center area of the PCB there should be 3 jumpers installed on J16, pins 1-2, 4-5 and 7-8.
(SAP) Option Module Settings Appendix B (SAP) Option Module Settings The SAP option module allows a bi-directional session to be established between a SAP-equipped transmitter (XRTx-SAP), and a specific SAP-equipped receiver even in a multiple-receiver daisy chain installation. The SAP transmitter devices (XRTx-SAP for example) do not have address DIP-switches. The factory-default address of the transmitter is “0”.
Mounting Kits Appendix D Mounting Kits The following table shows several kits available for mounting the MultiView™ II AK600(1200)DP receiver. Table 11: AK600(1200)DP Mounting Kits Mounting Kit # Description 2211054-01 Rigid-mount bracket. This mounts a single device to a surface (wall/desk/etc.).

Mounting Kits Note: When installing AK600(1200)DP receivers in an area susceptible to elevated operating temperatures (near the maximum specified operating temperature), it is important to give careful consideration to maintaining adequate air flow. Within a rack assembly, cable bundles and other equipment in the same rack can impede proper cooling.
