3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Cabling Considerations
• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the MultiView system
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.
3.2 Making the Connections
3.2.1 Connections and Setup in General
The MultiView 9D 1x9 Distribution Amp utilizes industry standard CAT5 cabling to
connect a MultiView transmitter and receivers.
Additional 9D 1x9 Distribution Amps may be cascaded via the UTP THRU output or any
other output if necessary.
Figure 3-1 shows the MultiView 9D 1x9 Distribution Amp connections.
1. Connect the RJ-45 cable from a MultiView transmitter unit or other MultiView 9D 1x9
Video Distribution Amp into the port labeled UTP IN.
2. Connect RJ-45 cables from MultiView receiver units into the ports labeled
OUTPUTS.
3. The port labeled UTP THRU may be used to cascade to other MultiView 9D 1x9
Video Distribution Amps or can be used with a MultiView receiver.
4. Connect the power supply to the unit.
5. Connect the included ground cable to the rear gold thumbscrew and the other end to
a suitable earth ground. The grounding is required in instances where LCD monitors are
used that do not provide a ground via the DC power adapter. Failure to connect the
ground cable may result in loss of video signals.
