MultiView™ II T4 Installation and User Guide

4.3.4 

Config Mode-1: Sync-mode Options  

 
The T4 is factory-configured for auto-detecting the proper sync-mode (RepliSync-I normal/stretched).  This mode 
is generally compatible with all existing MultiView™ receiver products that support RepliSync (if they are also 
using their factory-default settings).  However, some video sources may require a custom sync-mode setting 
(most especially at 1080p and 1920x1200 video resolutions).  For these cases, one of the other available sync-
modes can be selected.  
 
Note that any connected MultiView™ receiver should generally be set to the same sync-mode and may require 
other configuration adjustments (such as sync-polarity). Otherwise, you may not get a proper video display 
output at that receiver. 
 

 

(starting in normal-mode) Press and release the 
CFG button once to access configuration mode-
1. CFG indicator = on

 

Press and release the SEL button once. You 
will now be able to change sync-mode settings. 

 

LED indicators 1-3 should be illuminated (either 
DIM or ON); all others (indicators 4-8) should be 
off. 

 

Press the CFG button repeatedly to step 
through the available sync-mode settings as 
shown below. 

 

To leave configuration-mode step through all the 
options OR leave the buttons untouched for 10 
seconds.

Config Mode-1: 4

th

 Pair Settings 

 
The T4 provides several options for using the 4

th

-pair signals (pairs 1-3 are generally used for video). Note that 

any connected MultiView™ receiver must be configured with a matching 4

th

-pair operating mode. Otherwise, the 

desired 4

th

-pair signal will not work as expected. 

 

 

(starting in normal-mode) Press and release the 
CFG button once to access configuration-mode-1. 
CFG indicator = on

 

Press and release the SEL button twice. You will 
now be able to change 4

th

-pair option settings. 

 

LED indicators 4-6 should be illuminated (either 
DIM or ON); all others (indicators 1-3, 7 and 8) 
should be off. 

 

Press the CFG button repeatedly to step through 
the available 4

th

-pair settings as shown below. 

 

To leave configuration-mode step through all the 
options OR leave the buttons untouched for 10 
seconds. 

 
 
 
Note: If the “set factory defaults” procedure is used, the 4

th

-pair settings will be set to the T4-A version. This 

happens regardless of what P/N appears on the bottom of the T4 (see bottom of T4 enclosure for the product-ID 
label). To select the T4-S version, you will need to change the 4

th

-pair setting accordingly, as detailed above.
