5.1
Option-Module Configuration
If you are installing a MVII-DVI-Rx-1K-
SAP
version receiver (this is equipped with the SAP hardware option
module), then the following information will be important to review BEFORE installing the receiver:
The
MVII-DVI-Rx-1K-SAP
version offers pollable RS232 duplex serial in addition to true stereo audio. The
serial interface is a 3-wire (TX, RX, GND) interface. The factory-default serial baud rate is 9600 baud, but this is
a user-
configurable option using “SAP-II” serial commands. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or
other changes by simply using the TX signal only. The serial-polling capability allows interaction with specific
receivers. This will require that each receiver have a unique SAP-address setting. Please refer to Appendix-B
for (SAP) module configuration information, and Appendix-C for SAP-address settings.
5.2
Prerequisites
Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related
hardware (mounting screws) might be required. These are not provided with Magenta products.
The following items might be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research:
Audio cable: Phoenix 4-pin to RCA.
Video cable: DVI (or HDMI with an appropriate DVI/HDMI adapter)
Serial cable: Phoenix 4-pin to DB9, or one of several DB9-M/F, M/M or F/F extension cables.
Note:
You will need appropriate twisted-pair cable as previously described, to connect the MVII-DVI-Rx-1K to
other
MultiView™ II devices. tvONE does not supply this cable.
5.3
Installation Procedure
Ensure that all connectors are clean and free of contaminants prior to making the
connections. Appropriate connector locking hardware (screws/latches) should be used to
prevent cables from disconnecting or causing intermittent operation.
All units must be the same type for 4
th
-pair supported features to function correctly. For
example, a “MVII-DVI-Tx-A” must be paired with a MVII-DVI-Rx-1K-A, as both must be
identical to work properly. Similarly, an
“MVII-DVI-Tx-SAP” can only be used with an MVII-
DVI- Rx-1K-SAP
”. Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not.
