    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.
  • Page 11: Installation Procedure

    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.
  • Page 12 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.

  • Page 15: Configuration Settings

    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 ...
  • Page 16: Sync-Mode Settings (Led1-2)

    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).
  • Page 17: Th Pair Settings (Led4-6)

    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.
  • Page 18: Vsync Polarity Settings (Led7)

    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.
  • Page 19: Clamp-Mode Settings (Cfg2: Led1-2)

    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.

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.
