MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 

3. Setup and Installation 

 

3.1 Data Mode Configuration (SA/SAP versions) 

 

SA series offer RS232 serial and stereo audio. The serial signal is 3 wire TX, RX and 
does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SA series are  defaulted at 
9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes by simply using 
the TX signal only. SA units require no configuration. 

 

SAP series offer pollable RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial signal is 3 
wire TX, RX and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SAP series 
are defaulted at 9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes 
by simply using the TX signal only. See Appendix E on configuration and using SAP 
Series. 

 

3.2 Cabling Considerations 

 

• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the Magenta MultiView™ 
Series components before applying power. 
• Makes sure that the CAT7 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply 
with the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification (See 

Appendix A

). 

 

3.3 Making the Connections 

 

3.3.1 CONNECTIONS AND SETUP IN GENERAL 

 

This section contains figures showing connections with the specific Magenta MultiView 
Series models. In general, however, the connection and setup procedure at both 
transmitter and receiver ends is as follows: 

 
NOTE: all units must be the same  type for all supported features to function correctly. 
For example, an XRTx set for R/L summed audio must be connected to an AK500 C7 
set for R/L summed audio. Similarly, a XRTx SA cannot be used with an AK500 C7. 
Video modes may function normally, but 4th pair options will not.

 

 
At the transmitter end (refer to the transmitter user guide) : 
 

1. Connect the source video to the Magenta MultiView Series transmitter video input 
port, which is an HD15 connector labeled SOURCE IN or VIDEO IN. 
 
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT 
 
3. Make your audio and/or serial connections via the phoenix connector or DB9 
connector as appropriate.
