Product Overview 2.
Specifications Chapter 3 Specifications This section describes the following specifications: 3.1 General specifications Category cable compatibility General Specifications The following table lists the general specifications of the MVII-AK600(1200)DP.
Specifications 3.2 Category Cable Compatibility MultiView products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling, as well as “minimized skew” CAT5/5e cabling (also referred to as “low-skew”) manufactured specifically for video applications. Follow these tips to ensure proper usage of your Category cabling: Some “low-skew” CAT5 is specific to a particular vendor and is incompatible with our products. Ensure that any “low-skew” CAT5 cable is non-proprietary before purchase and installation.
Installation Chapter 4 Installation This section describes the following installation topics: Data mode configuration Prerequisites to installation Installation procedure Post-installation adjustments Post-installation configuration settings 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! Do not connect DC power until instructed to do so. 4.
Installation 4.2 Prerequisites Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related hardware (mounting screws) might be required. These are not provided with Magenta products. The following items might be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research: Audio cable: Phoenix 4-pin to RCA. Video cable: HD15 connectors, or one of several BNC/RCA/S-Video breakout cables.
Installation To install the MVII-AK600(1200)DP receiver: 1. Connect the VGA OUT connector to the display. 2. Connect any audio and/or serial cables to the (AUX I/O) and (IOIO) connectors, depending on the specific model of receiver you are installing. Please refer to the –A, -S, -232, -SA and –SAP option descriptions for more information. 3. Connect the Category cable from a MultiView transmitter to the LINK INPUT connector on the receiver. 4.
Installation 4.4 Adjustments This section describes how to make the following adjustments: 4.4.1 Cable distance (EQ) compensation Skew compensation Cable Distance (EQ) Compensation Settings When the MVII-AK600(1200)DP is operating in normal mode (CFG indicator is off), it is possible to quickly adjust the EQ. The EQ/SKEW indicators 1-8 will change accordingly to show (in “bargraph” form) 0 to 100% of the available EQ adjustment range (AK600DP = 0 to 600 ft, AK1200DP = 0 to 1200 ft).
Installation 4.4.2 Skew Compensation Settings If the AkuComp-II skew module is installed, it is possible to quickly adjust the RGB values when the MVIIAK600(1200)DP is operating in normal mode. The EQ/SKEW indicators 1-8 will change accordingly to show (in “bargraph” form) 0 to 100% of the available SKEW adjustment range (0 to 65nSec). For best results, use the Magenta EQ/Skew test pattern image if possible. A test pattern image and video instructions is available at http://www.magenta-research.com/test.
Installation 4.5 Configuration Settings There are a number of configurable operating parameters, and the factory-default settings should work for most applications. However, some applications might require slight configuration changes.
Installation 4.5.2 Sync-mode Settings (LED1-2) The receiver is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched). This mode is generally compatible with all existing MultiView transmitter and receiver products that support RepliSync (if they are also using their default settings). However, some video sources may require a custom sync-mode setting (especially at 1080p and 1920x1200 video resolutions). For these cases, one of the other sync-modes can be selected.
Installation 4.5.3 4th Pair Settings (LED4-6) The receiver provides several options for using the 4th-pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). The factory-default setting (-A) supports summed L+R analog audio on the 4th-pair. Note that the connected MultiView transmitter and any daisy-chained receivers must be configured with a matching 4th-pair operating mode. Otherwise, the desired 4th-pair signal will not work as expected (but the video will not be affected).
Installation 4.5.4 Vsync Polarity Settings (LED7) The receiver provides settings for Vsync polarity: (+) or (-). The factory default setting is (+) Vsync polarity, or “ON” for configuration LED 7. Perform the following procedure while the receiver is in the normal operating state (CFG indicator is off): 1. Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON. Release the CFG button. a. LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-1 configuration settings as bright/off. 2.
Installation 4.5.6 Clamp-mode Settings (CFG2: LED1-2) The receiver allows you to select the video clamp-mode. Perform the following procedure while the receiver is in the normal operating state (CFG indicator is off): 1. Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON. Release the CFG button. a. LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-1 configuration settings as bright/off. 2. Press and release the SKEW/SEL button exactly five times. a. The CFG indicator will start flashing. b.
Installation 4.5.7 4th Pair Termination Settings (CFG2: LED3) The AK600 provides settings for 4th pair termination: ON or OFF. This setting has an effect only for “-S”, “-A” and S/PDIF operating modes. Note: It is not possible to access the 4th-pair setting if an option board is installed – since this setting is ignored. Set to ON for all single-receiver applications, and for the last receiver in a daisy-chained configuration. This is the factory-default.
Troubleshooting Chapter 5 Troubleshooting In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ video system can be resolved by checking the Category cable 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. The following table lists the most common installation errors and their solutions.
Troubleshooting Problem Serial communication doesn’t work correctly “Green shift” or “green washout” on multimedia signals Notes on daisy chaining Solution Are the serial devices connected properly? Are the serial parameters correct for source/destination devices? Are the serial cables terminated correctly? Is a null-modem cable required at the TX or RX end? When using RS-232 capable receivers with video switches, distribution amps, or multi-output transmitters, the serial data is sent transmit-on

Connector Pinouts Serial port (IOIO) Connector Pinout If the receiver is an (-232), (-SA) or (-SAP) version, then the serial interface will be provided on the “IOIO” connector. This is a DB9-M type serial connector, configured to look like a standard 9-pin “DTE” serial port. Therefore, in most applications a straight through serial cable or adapter-plug (DB9-Female-to-Male) is used to connect an external serial device (for example, a display’s serial control port) to the receiver.
