3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the MultiView™ Series
components before applying power.
• Make sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the T568B wiring specification (See
Appendix A ).
3.2 Making the Connections
3.2.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
First ensure all units have been configured for correct operation and signal types. See
appropriate configuration sections of this manual and the respective transmitter manual.
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific MultiView™ Series
models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both transmitter
and receiver ends is as follows:
At the transmitter end (refer to the transmitter user guide) :
1. Connect the source video to the MultiView™ Series transmitter video input port,
which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT.
3. Make your audio/serial connections via the 1/8” (3.5mm) audio connector, phoenix ,
or DB9 serial connector (transmitter model dependent).
4. Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter.
5. Apply power on the transmitter. The LED should light and, if there’s a local
monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor’s screen.
At the receiver end:
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT HD15 connector to the display unit and attach
any audio cabling.
2. Connect a 1/8” (3.5mm) audio or serial cable to the AUDIO or SERIAL OUTPUT
connection (model dependent).
3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the UTP INPUT connection.
4. Apply power. The LED should light and video should appear on the display
(make sure display is powered ON).
5. To adjust video levels see
Section 3.4 .
