MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 1. Specifications Cable Required: Category 5, 5e, 6 shielded or unshielded twisted pair Compliance: CE; FCC Class A, IC Class A Video Support: all supported VESA modes to WUXGA (1920x1200), RGBHV, HDTV modes including 1080p, 1080i, 720p (Note: The NEC 600 does not support component, composite or S-video video signals) Resolution and Refresh Rate: At 600 ft.
CHAPTER 2: Introduction. 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview This manual covers the Magenta MultiView™ NEC 600 card slot CAT5 Receiver unit. The NEC 600 is intended for use only in compatible NEC displays that have the card slot feature. All signals are input directly into the display so external cabling or power is not required. The NEC 600 card slot receiver supports video, stereo audio and the SAP pollable RS232 option on a single CAT5 cable.
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 This section contains figures showing connections with the specific MultiView™ Series models.
CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION. 3.2.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE NEC600 RECEIVER Below the NEC 600 connections are detailed: Figure 3-1. Connections on the MultiView NEC 600. CAT5 input CAT5 output EQ/SKEW Adjustment & LED indicators See Section 3.3 SAP Series Option Address Settings/LED indicators. See below and Appendix C. AUX DB9 used for local receiver control and/or firmware upgrades. This is not a valid display control port.
MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 3.3 Video Adjustment 3.3.1 Cable Distance Compensation Settings In order to get the highest quality video signals from your MultiView CAT5 Video System, please follow the instructions and diagrams below: An Image Adjustment Utility is available for download from: http:// www.magenta-research.com/test Simply open in any image browser on a computer. If the image file can not be downloaded, use a utility to draw a black box on a white background.
CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation. 3.3.2 Skew Compensation Settings The NEC 600 receiver features integrated skew compensation to adjust for signal timing differences due to differing pair lengths within the CAT5 cable. Using the delay signals, skew may be compensated from 2 to 65 nanoseconds in 2 nanosecond increments on each individual color pair. An image file is available to assist in these settings. See Figure 3-4 for an example. 1. 2. 3.
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.
. Problem: Solution: “Green shift” or “green washout” on multimedia signals. The standard video/serial model is designed to function with DC coupled signals in which the black level is referenced to 0 volts. Nearly all VGA cards function this way. Some media servers, however, provide AC coupled signals and can cause a green color shift in the video. This is a result of the sync clamping on the red and blue channels of the video/serial model.
MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES Appendix A. Cabling Pinouts Table A-1. T568B CAT5 pinout NOTE: The external DB9 connector is intended for console access to the receiver and does not support external SAP RS232 protocol. This connection should not be used to control the display.
APPENDIX B: Setting Sync modes. Appendix B. Setting Sync Mode The NEC 600 has the capability for fixed and agile sync. The default sync mode setting is for agile sync which replicates the source sync polarity signals. However some displays require a fixed sync polarity that is not possible to change at the video source. 1080P signals may also require this mode if the sync is a very narrow pulse. The following details how to change the sync polarity of the horizontal and vertical sync signal.
