MultiView™ II DVI-TX Installation and User Guide 2
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. The DVI-TX allows high-resolution
DVI digital video to be fed into an otherwise purely analog system, not only for new systems, but also enabling
digital-video upgrades to existing MultiView™ extension and switching systems.
