MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 3. Setup and Installation 3.1 Cabling Considerations • We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the MultiView™ Series components before applying power. • Make sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply with the T568B wiring specification (See Appendix A). 3.2 Making the Connections 3.2.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL First ensure all units have been configured for correct operation and signal types.
CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION. 3.2.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE VGA/AUDIO TRANSMITTER The single-port units with audio support video and audio signals over CAT5 cable. The audio signal is line-level audio, and powered speakers are required. Figure 3-1 shows the MultiView™ Series UTx transmitter with Audio Transmitter connections, and Figure 3-2 shows the MultiView™ 500A receiver connections. Figure 3-1. Connections on the UTx Universal Transmitter. Figure 3-2. Connections on the MultiView 500A.
MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 3.2.3 CONNECTIONS ON THE VIDEO / SERIAL TRANSMITTER The single-port units with audio support video and serial signals over CAT5 cable. The serial signal is 3 wire TX, RX, GND serial. Figure 3-3 shows the MultiView™ Series UTx transmitter with serial Transmitter connections, and Figure 3-4 shows the MultiView™ 500S serial receiver connections. See Appendix A for cable pinouts of the 500S. Figure 3-3. Connections on the UTx Universal Transmitter.
CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation. 3.3 Configuration Settings The MultiView™ 500 receiver is configurable for various video, audio and serial modes depending upon model . Note that a compatible transmitter unit must be used at the source end. Reference the appropriate transmitter user guide or call for technical assistance. It is not possible to change an audio unit to a serial unit and vice versa. A dipswitch on the receiver unit is used to set the video, audio, serial configuration mode.
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: Solution: No video signal at the transmitter local port or at the receiver.
