Chapter 2 Product Overview
The MVII-AK600(1200)DP is a video receiver that is compatible with the entire MultiView™ family of products.
It extends an analog video signal over standard 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.
The MVII-AK600(1200)DP features optional integrated skew compensation that can be varied in 2 ns
increments to 65 ns total per color-channel to cancel the effects of skew in Category cables. This feature allows
you to use CAT5e and reduced-skew CAT6 cables to lengths up to 600ft (186m) for AK600DP, or 1200ft
(366m) for AK1200DP.
All models support video refresh rates/resolutions of 1920x1200 to 600 feet (183m) with the AK600DP, and
1200ft (366m) with the AK1200DP.
