About this Manual Chapter 1 About this Manual This manual contains information about the Magenta MultiView™ II DVI-TX transmitter (hereafter referred to simply as “DVI-TX”). This includes: Product overview (Chapter 2). Product specifications (Chapter 3). Installation and configuration instructions (Chapter 4) Troubleshooting (Chapter 5). Additional information (Appendices).
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.
Specifications Chapter 3 3.1 Specifications General Specifications Item Description Cable Required Category 5, 5e, 6 cable. Shielded or unshielded twisted pair. Low-skew. Compliance CE, FCC Class A, IC Class / Class A, UL listed I.T.E Device, RoHS. Video Support DVI-D, and HDMI by using a connector adapter for unprotected content only (non-HDCP). Resolution & Refresh Rate See DDC/EDID chart located in section 3.3.
Specifications 3.2 DVI Interface The DVI interfaces (video-in and local video-out) have the following characteristics: Item Video Support Video Connectors Audio Characteristics EDID/DDC HDMI HDCP CEC Description 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. Preferred image aspect ratio: 16:9.
Specifications 3.3 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.
Specifications 3.4 Auxiliary Signal Support The DVI-TX is available in five factory-configured models, which allow different types of signals to be passed over the 4th-pair on the CAT5 cable. These are configured differently by a front-panel setting, or may include an internal hardware option-module. MVII-DVI-TX-A: o Supports L+R summed audio (user-configuration setting). MVII-DVI-TX-S: o Supports 2-wire RS-232 serial in simplex mode (user-configuration setting).
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. See Appendix-B.
Specifications 3.4.4 Auxiliary Signal support: (SAP) version The DVI-TX-SAP comes equipped with an internal hardware (SAP) option module, enabling full-duplex RS-232 serial (no hardware handshaking signals) and stereo audio. Note that the (SAP) module itself does have some user-configurable settings that can be changed by on-board DIP-switches (not through the front-panel buttons). Simplex or Duplex RS-232 support. o Provides simplex or duplex serial data, even with daisy-chained receivers.
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. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the Magenta MultiView™ II Series.
Installation 4.2 Installation Procedure All units must be the same type for all supported features to function correctly. For example, a “DVITX-232” transmitter must be connected to a MultiView “-232” type receiver for the serial interface to function properly. You cannot mix one version of a DVI-TX with a different version of a MultiView receiver. Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not. Ensure all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the connections.
Installation At the receiver end (these steps are generic - refer to the appropriate receiver manual): 1. 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. 2. Connect the CAT5 cable to the LINK IN connector. If you are daisy-chaining multiple receivers, also connect the downstream CAT5 cable to the LINK OUT port on the receiver. 3. Apply power to the receiver. a.
Installation 4.3 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.
Installation 4.3.2 DDC/EDID Settings These settings are accessed in NORMAL operating mode (CFG indicator is off). The MultiView™ II DVI-TX features the ability to send DDC/EDID display identifiers to the video source in order to determine display capabilities. The DDC/EDID interface is a data communication channel used between plug and play devices to accurately report a display's capabilities and identify the manufacturer.
Installation 4.4 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). For these cases, one of the other available syncmodes can be selected.
Installation 4.5 4th Pair Settings The DVI-TX provides several options for using the 4th-pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). Note that any connected MultiView™ receiver must be configured with a matching 4th-pair operating mode. Otherwise, the desired 4th-pair signal will not work as expected. If an optional daughterboard is installed (232, SA or SAP options), then the 4th-pair utilization is defined by the installed daughterboard.
Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ II 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 and their solutions.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution When utilizing a receiver’s RJ45 daisy chain port, the following rules apply: Notes on daisy chaining • If using L/R summed audio, simplex serial, or SPDIF units, a maximum of 12 units may be daisy changed within the rated cable length of the receiver. • When using SA units, a maximum of 4 units may be daisy chained within the rated cable length of the receiver.
Connector Pinouts Appendix A Connector Pinouts DVI-D connector pinout (DVI-in, Local-out): Pins #1-8 Key holes, to prevent wrong type of cable being plugged in Pins #9-16 Pins #17-24 DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a robust and popular video interface standard that can include digital and analog options in the same connector (the “DVI-I” version). However, as the DVI-TX is a digital-input only device, it supports the “DVI-D” subset of the DVI standard interface.
