The Magenta MultiView™ II XRTx transmitter extends an analog video signal over FTP CAT5 cable (also CAT5e and CAT6). There

are user-configurable settings for video, audio, and serial options which can be controlled from the front panel. For more details please

refer to the complete MultiView™ II XRTx User Guide, available for download at www.tvone.com.

Required Tools / Hardware / Materials: Tools include appropriate screwdriver(s) and mounting hardware (optional, for

example: rack-mount, wall or under-desk mounting). Required materials include appropriate cables for your specific application.

Power-up Check: After all signal and power cables are connected, apply AC power. The power ON indicator should light. If the

video source is providing a valid VGA (RGB+HV) video signal, the video-status indicator should also be on (for any other type of video

signal this status indicator will always be off). If there is a local monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor. If there is

no image on the display, recheck all cables and ensure the display is turned on.

Front Panel Controls: (Refer to Figure 2) There are two buttons (COPY/CFG and DDC MODE/SEL), and several green LED status

indicators. These are used to control the operating modes of the transmitter, and to display current status. In “normal-mode”, the CFG

indicator is off. In “configuration-mode”, the CFG indicator is on or flashing.

DDC Mode Selection: When the XRTx is operating in normal-mode (CFG indicator is off), it is possible to quickly select between

the 3 DDC operating modes simply by using the DDC MODE button at any time:

 STD: Selects the Magenta Magic DDC profile. Press the DDC MODE button until the STD indicator (LED 6) is on. The

Magenta Magic profile is a default set of common video resolutions. This is the factory default setting.

 LOCAL: Selects the DDC profile from a locally-connected display. Press the DDC MODE button until the LOCAL

indicator (LED 7) is on. The LOCAL mode allows the video source device to directly read the DDC profile from the locally

connected-display (if present). Note that LOCAL mode does not store any DDC profile information inside the XRTx device.

 COPY: Selects a previously stored copy of a DDC profile. Press the DDC MODE button until the COPY indicator (LED 8)

is on. To use the COPY mode, a DDC profile must have already been read and stored into the XRTx.

To perform a DDC-copy operation: Ensure the COPY mode is selected (LED 8=on), then: (1) Connect a display to the

LOCAL OUT port. (2) Push and hold the COPY button until the copy-status indicator flashes 3 times, indicating a successful

operation. If it only flashes once, the operation failed and the previously stored DDC profile (if any) will remain unchanged.

(Optional) Depending on installation requirements: At

any time during installation, the transmitter may be securely

mounted using appropriate brackets and hardware.

PRECAUTIONS: (1) Do not apply AC power until instructed to

do so. (2) This equipment is not intended for, nor does it

support, distribution through an Ethernet network. Do not

connect these devices to any sort of networking or

telecommunications equipment! (3) Use only tvONE-approved

MultiView™ II power adapters. Failure to do so may damage

this device and will void the warranty.

Changing Internal Settings: In configuration-mode (CFG indicator = on or flashing), the CFG and SEL buttons, plus the LED indicators (1-8) will allow you to change internal configuration settings. The changes are effective immediately and are saved in nonvolatile memory.  To enter configuration-mode-1: Press CFG button once. The CFG indicator will turn on, confirming you’re in configurationmode-1. Once in this mode, the LED indicators 1-8 will display the current settings as described in the tables below.

Configuration Mode-2, Video Coupling: Select AC or DC coupling, and DC-restore functions, to be applied to the input video.      (starting in normal-mode) Press and release the CFG button twice to access configuration-mode-2. CFG indicator = flashing. Press and release the SEL button once. You will now be able to change video-coupling settings. LED indicators 1-2 should be illuminated (either DIM or ON); all others (indicators 3-8) should be off.
