MultiView™ II AK600DP/AK1200DP Installation and User Guide 7

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.

 Serial cable: Phoenix 4-pin to DB9, or one of several DB9-M/F, M/M or F/F extension cables.

Note: You will need appropriate Category cable as previously described, to connect the MVII-AK600(1200)DP

to other MultiView™ and MultiView™ II devices. Magenta does not supply Category cable.

4.3 Installation Procedure

Ensure that all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the

connections. Appropriate connector locking hardware (screws/latches) should be used to

prevent cables from disconnecting or causing intermittent operation.

All units must be the same type for 4

-pair supported features to function correctly. For

example, an “XRTx-A” must be connected to a MVII-AK600(1200)DP-A, as both must be

identical to work properly with L/R summed audio. Similarly, an “XRTx-SA” cannot be used

with an MVII-AK600(1200)DP-A”. Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options

will not.

To install a typical MultiView transmitter (these steps are generic - refer to the appropriate MultiView

transmitter manual):

1. Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView™ transmitter video input port, which is an HD15

connector labeled SOURCE IN or VIDEO IN.

2. If desired, attach a local monitor to the HD15 connector labeled LOCAL OUT (if available).

3. Make your audio or serial connections via the phoenix connector or DB9 connector as appropriate.

4. Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter.

5. Apply power to the transmitter.

a. The power-on LED should light up.

b. If there is a local monitor attached, a video image should appear on the

monitor.
