CHAPTER 2: Overview/Design Guidelines
2.2 Design Guidelines
When designing or installing a Mondo III system, the following should be adhered to:
Equalize all Cat5 Input Cables to the Mondo III Matrix
All Cat5 cable inputs should be as equal as possible between source transmitter and Mondo III Matrix switch
(This does not apply to Mondo Direct inputs with VGA inputs).
Otherwise video quality may be affected when switching as cable compensation settings at the receiver will
change due to cable lengths changing.
This can be accomplished by measuring all Cat5 cables and ensuring they are within 30 ft (9m) of variance. Add
service loops as necessary.
Another option is to use the MorphIT Dual EQ option between the transmitter and switch input to normalize all
cables to 0 ft prior to the switch. Contact Magenta for details.

All Cat5 Cable lengths from source Transmitters to the Mondo III Input frame
must be within a 30 ft (9m) variance. Add service loops as necessary.
Use the MorphIT Dual EQ card to remove cable lengths from source transmitter
just prior to the Mondo III Matrix switch input. Each port on the Dual EQ card can
remove 500 ft (152m) of cable length. Two ports may be cascaded to remove a
maximum of 800 ft (244m) of cable length.
