MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 

4. Troubleshooting 

 

4.1. Common Problems 

 

In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView™ CAT5 Video System can be resolved by 
checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring 
specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s 
designed. Below are solutions to the most common installation errors. 
 

 

Problem:             

No video signal at the transmitter local port or at the receiver. 

Solution:                 

• Check that both units are powered. 

                                  • Ensure EQ adjustment switches are is set correctly  
                                  • Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the TIA/EIA 568B  
                                     wiring specification. 
                                  • Is the display device powered on and functioning? 
                                  • Check to ensure display settings (resolution, refresh rate, etc) are 
                                     compatible with input signal. 

 

Problem:              

Poor video quality: 

Solution:                  • 

Have all  receiver adjustments been finished (see section 3.3). 

                                  • Ensure EQ adjustment switches are is set correctly  
                                  • Check all cable connections. 
                                  •The video signal’s refresh rate may be set too high. Reset to a 
                                      lower refresh rate in your monitor-configuration menu. 

 

Problem:             

Poor audio quality (MV 500A only): 

Solution:                 

• Powered speakers are required. Make sure speaker power is ON. 

                                  • Check input source levels from the source device. Make sure 
                                     the audio source is not overdriven or underdriven. 
                                  • Audio is summed left and right for “A” versions. If using a single 
                                    channel, both audio inputs must be connected at the transmitter 
                                    end for full audio gain. Audio is line level. 
                                  • Low Level Audio may require the 100 

Ώ

 termination disabled. Turn                 

                                     SW1 off to disable termination. 

 

Problem:               

Serial communication doesn’t work correctly (MV500S only): 

Solution:                 

• Are the serial devices connected properly? Are the serial 

                                     parameters correct for source/destination devices? 
                                  • Are the serial cables terminated correctly? If a null-modem 
                                     cable is used, it must be placed at the receiver end. 
                                  • When using RS-232 transmitters or receivers in daisy chains,  
                                     Cat5 switches, Cat5 distribution amps, or Multi-output 
                                     transmitters, the serial signal is a unidirectionally broadcast  
                                     mode only. In this mode, all other MultiView™ CAT5 Video 
                                     System devices must be the simplex serial type. 
                                  • MV500S use 3 wire (TX,RX,GND) signals only via the 1/8”  
                                     connector (see Appendix A for pinout). 

 

Problem:              “

Green shift” or “green washout” on multimedia signals. 

Solution:                 

The standard video model is designed to function with DC coupled  

                                  signals in which the black level is referenced to 0 volts. For five- 
                                  component (RGB/H&V) AC coupled video, the MultiView™ Series  
                                  UTx or XRTx Universal transmitter has been designed with full DC  
                                  restoration capability. Please refer to the transmitter user manual.
