Product Overview
The Magenta MultiView™ II T4 transmitter extends an analog video signal over standard CAT5 cable (also
CAT5e and CAT6). It accepts analog video (VGA, RGB and other analog formats), audio (analog or S/PDIF) or
serial (RS-232 simplex) signals. These are converted to MultiView™-compatible signals, provided over 4 UTP
output ports.
The T4 also features an enhanced front-panel interface for user-configuration and DDC/EDID management.
There are no internal configuration settings or jumpers. Everything can be set from the front-panel buttons. The
T4 transmitter is compatible with the entire Magenta MultiView™ family of products.
