MultiView™ II DVI-TX Installation and User Guide 10
4.2 Installation Procedure
All units must be the same type for all supported features to function correctly. For example, a “DVI-
TX-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.
Appropriate connector locking hardware (screws/latches) should be used to prevent cables from
disconnecting or causing intermittent operation.
At the DVI-TX transmitter end:
1. Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView™ II Series transmitter video input
port, which is a standard DVI connector labeled DVI IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor to the DVI connector labeled LOCAL OUT.
3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter LINK OUT port.
4. Make your audio or serial connections via the phoenix AUX I/O connector or DB9
“IOIO” serial connector, as appropriate for your DVI-TX transmitter model.
5. Apply power on the transmitter.
a. The power-on LED should turn on. All other LEDs should execute a power-up
test sequence.
b. If the video source is providing a valid video signal, the Video status indicator
should turn on.
c. If there’s a local monitor attached, a video image should appear on the
monitor’s screen.
6. Remember to make any required configuration changes via the LED/button user-interface.
 Connect the CAT5 cable to
the LINK OUTOUT port.
 (Optional) Connect
local display to the
LOCAL OUT port.
 Connect a video
source to the
DVI IN port.
Note: The DB9 serial
port is only available
when the “232”, “SA”
or “SAP” option is
present.
 (Optional) Make your serial and/or audio
connections via the DB9 IOIO or AUX I/O
connectors, as needed.
