MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview The Magenta MultiView Series extends video, audio and serial signals over ordinary Category 5 cable. This manual covers Magenta MultiView Series XR2000 Receivers. These units are field configurable for various video, audio and serial options. See Appendix B for configuration settings. SA series feature video, stereo audio and RS-232 signals on a single cat5. SAP series units are similar to the above but have additional features

CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION. 3. Setup and Installation 3.1 Data Mode Configuration SA series offer RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial signal is 3 wire TX, RX, GND and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SA series are fixed at 9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes by simply using the TX signal only. SA units require no configuration. SAP series offer pollable RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial si

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation . 3.4.2 Skew Compensation Settings The XR2000 receiver is available with an optional skew compensation module to adjust for signal timing differences due to differing pair lengths within the CAT5 cable. Using the delay signals, skew may be compensated from 2 to 65 nanoseconds in 2 nanosecond increments on each individual color pair. If skew compensation is required, but the skew comp module is not installed, call for technical assistance. An image

MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Common Problems In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView CAT5 Video System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 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. Below are solutions to the most common installation errors. Problem: No video signal at the transmitter local port or a

CHAPTER 4: Troubleshooting . Problem: Poor audio quality (continued) : Solution: • If Daisy Chaining, audio termination must be removed in DP units. Only the last receiver requires termination. For SA units a special un-terminated version must be used between transmitters and the last receiver with a standard End-Of-Line unit

MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES Appendix C. Setting Sync Mode The XR2000 has the capability for fixed and agile sync. The default sync mode setting is for agile sync which replicates the source sync polarity signals. However some displays require a fixed sync polarity that is not possible to change at the video source. The following details jumper settings to change the sync polarity of the horizontal and vertical sync signals (Note that jumpers JP11 and JP12 have no affect in agile mode):
