MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
Magenta’s MultiView™ CAT5 Video System MultiView series extends VGA and
audio signals over ordinary Category 5 cable.
This manual covers the Magenta MultiView™ T4/T5 multi output CAT5 Video
System Series transmitters. The T4/T5 transmitter is compatible with all MV and
AK series of receivers.
For information on respective receiver units, please refer to the appropriate manual
included with the transmitter.
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
of networking or telecommunications equipment!
2.2 Equipment You May Also Need
• 1/8” (3.5mm) Audio cable with RCA jacks (model dependent).
• DB9 serial cable (model dependent).
• Video cable with HD15 connectors.
• CAT5 cable.
2.3 Compatible Cabling
CAT5 cabling for the MultiView™ Series must be pinned to the T568B wiring
specification (see appendix A). We also highly recommend that all CAT5 cables
be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in an existing
infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the T568B
specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the Magenta
MultiView™ Series.

3.2 Making the Connections
3.2.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL
This section contains figures showing connections with the specific MultiView™
Series models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both
transmitter and receiver ends is as follows:
At the transmitter end (refer to the transmitter user guide) :
1. Connect the source video to the MultiView™ Series transmitter video input port,
which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT.
3. Make your audio or serial connections via the 1/8” (3.5mm) audio connector or
phoenix connector or DB9 connector (transmitter model dependent).
4. Connect the CAT5 cable to the transmitter.
5. Apply power on the transmitter. The LED should light and, if there’s a local
monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor’s screen.
At the receiver end:
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT HD15 connector to the display unit and attach
any audio cabling.
2. Connect an audio or serial cable to the appropriate connector.
3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the UTP INPUT connection.
4. Apply power. The LED should light and video should appear on the display
(make sure display is powered ON).
5. To adjust video levels see the appropriate receiver unit guide.
