MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Data Mode Configuration
AK1200 232 serial receivers are configured in full modem bidirectional serial modes. If
you are using the daisy chain option or a multi-output transmitter (T4,T5) a
MultiView™ CAT5 matrix switch or MultiView™ CAT5 distribution amp, this mode must
be changed to uni-directional broadcast . To do this, configure the internal Serial Digital
Board (SDB) to change the transmitters & receivers serial mode operation (See
Appendix C
). This configuration should be done before making any cable connections
and applying power.
Alternatively, remove the internal daughterboard and use the AK1200 receivers built in
simplex serial option with the appropriate jumper changes.
SA series offer RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial signal is 3 wire TX,
RX, GND and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SA series are
fixed at 9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes by simply
using the TX signal only. SA units require no configuration.
SAP series offer pollable RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial signal is 3
wire TX, RX, GND and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SAP
series are fixed at 9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes
by simply using the TX signal only. See Appendix G on configuration and use of SAP
Series.
3.2 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Magenta MultiView Series
components before applying power.
• Makes sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification (See
Appendix A
).
3.3 Making the Connections
3.3.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Magenta MultiView
Series models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both
transmitter and receiver ends is as follows:
NOTE: all units must be the same type for all supported features to function correctly.
For example, a UTX set for R/L summed audio must be connected to an AK1200 set for
R/L summed audio. Similarly, a UTX SA cannot be used with an AK1200. Video modes
may function normally, but 4th pair options will not.
At the transmitter end (refer to the transmitter user guide) :
1. Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView Series transmitter video input
port, which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN or VIDEO IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT
3. Make your audio or serial connections via the phoenix connector or DB9 connector
as appropriate.
