MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 

Appendix F. Rackmounting Units 

 

The Rackmount Kits include brackets for mounting a single transmitter, single 
receiver, or a single dual daisychainable receiver. Figure F-1 shows the 1-Unit 
Rackmount Bracket , which can be used to mount a single unit on a wall. Figure F-2 
shows the 4-Unit Rackmount Bracket, which holds four units in a 19" x 1U rack. 
 
Not shown are brackets for 8 units and brackets for AK/XR series receivers and T4 
transmitters. The 8-Unit Rackmount Bracket  holds the mounted units like the 4-Unit 
Rackmount Bracket but is 2U high instead of 1U high, stacking 4 slots directly above 4 
slots. The 3-Unit  AK receiver and T4 Transmitter Bracket  is holds 3 units in a 19" wide 
x 1U high panel. The 6-Unit  AK receiver and T4 Transmitter Bracket  occupies 2U high 
rack space stacking 3 units atop 3 units. 
 

Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the 
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room 
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an 
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature as specified in the 
Specification section of this manual.
