MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES
2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
The Magenta MultiView Series extends video, audio and serial signals over ordinary
Category 5 cable.
This manual covers Magenta MultiView Series XR2000 Receivers. These units are field
configurable for various video, audio and serial options. See Appendix B for
configuration settings.
SA series feature video, stereo audio and RS-232 signals on a single cat5.
SAP series units are similar to the above but have additional features for pollable serial.
The Magenta MultiView Series XR Receivers feature optional integrated skew
compensation that can be varied in 2 ns increments to 65 ns total per color channel to
cancel the effects of skew in Category cables. This feature allows you to use CAT5e
and reduced-skew CAT6 cables to lengths up to 2000 ft.
For information on the respective transmitter unit, please refer to the appropriate
manual included with the transmitter.
All models support refresh rates/resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz to 2000 feet
(609 m)
WARNING
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution
through an Ethernet network. Do not connect these devices to any sort
2.2 Equipment You May Also Need
• Audio cable with RCA jacks.
• Video cable with HD15 connectors
• Serial cable with DB9 connectors.
• CAT5 cable.
2.3 Compatible Cabling
Magenta Research products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling as well as
skew free CAT5/5e cabling manufactured for video applications. Note that some skew
free Cat5 is specific to a particular vendor and is not compatible with our products.
Please ensure any skew free CAT5 cable is non-proprietary prior to purchase/
installation.
CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew than
standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the standard
product offers. Please contact Magenta Research for assistance.
CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the Magenta MultiView Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA
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 TIA-EIA
T568B specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the
Magenta MultiView Series.

CHAPTER 3: SETUP & INSTALLATION
3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Data Mode Configuration
SA series offer RS232 serial in addition to stereo audio. The serial signal is 3 wire TX,
RX, GND and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SA series are
fixed 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, GND and does not support full modem signals. Baud rates for the SAP
series are fixed at 9600. Simplex modes are supported without jumper or other changes
by simply using the TX signal only. See Appendix F on configuration and use of 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 CAT5 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, a UTX set for R/L summed audio must be connected to an XR2000 set for
R/L summed audio. Similarly, A UTX SA cannot be used with an XR2000A. 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.
2. If desired, attach a local monitor via the local monitor port to LOCAL OUT
3. Make your audio or serial connections via the phoenix connector or DB9 connector
as appropriate.

MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES
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 OUT HD15 connector to the display unit, and attach
any audio (AUX I/O) or serial connections (IOIO) depending on the model of MultiView
CAT5 Video System.
2. Connect the CAT5 cable to the LINK INPUT connection. If daisy chaining units,
connect the output CAT5 cable to the LINK OUTPUT connection.
3. Apply power. **NOTE: XR2000 units utilize 12VDC ** The LED should light and
video should appear on the display (make sure display is powered ON).
4. To adjust video levels and skew compensation see Section 3.4.
5. Please mount the XR2000 in a location that ensures the ventilation holes and fan are
not blocked.
3.3.2 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT VGA/AUDIO
The single-port units with audio support video and audio signals over CAT5 cable. The
audio signal is line-level summed Right/Left audio, and powered speakers are required.
Note that there’s a single connection for audio input. You can also use the transmitters
and receivers to make video-only connections without audio. Figure 3-1 shows the
Single-Port MultiView CAT5 Video System with Audio Transmitter connections, and
Figure 3-2 shows the receiver connections.
