Magenta Research Logo

Magenta (www.magenta-research.com) does not use “up to” specifications. Magenta's resolution and distance specifications are married, so consultants, integrators and users have advance knowledge of installed performance. Magenta MultiView applies proprietary technology to achieve the highest available performance of all forms of video, plus audio and serial control signals, over Cat5/5e/6 UTP cable.

Signal Distribution over Cat 5/5e/6 UTP cable

Transmitter - XRTx

The standard XRTx offers video plus audio or video plus simplex (one-way) serial distribution. The XRTx’s local monitor output can be used for source viewing or for cascading to a second MultiView transmitter.

• Video signals from composite to 1920x1200 resolution
• Configurable: factory-set according to user’s
requirement or can be changed in the field
• Faster rise times and improved RepliSync™ technology
• Multiple DDC/EDID modes of operation
• Built-in simplex serial or summed audio capability
• Selectable 4th pair use for additional audio/video channel
• Compatible with all MultiView Series receivers,
distribution amplifiers and full-matrix switchers
• -SA option enables video + stereo audio + duplex RS-232 on
a single UTP cable
• -SAP option adds display-addressable serial, allowing duplex
serial interaction even in a daisy-chain application

Receiver - Multiview MV500

MultiView 500 receivers take up residence as Magenta’s shortest distance receiver offered, yet performance driven means to deliver high-resolution video with audio or Simplex RS-232 signals over UTP cable. Multiview 500 receivers boast complete video-format agility, able to extend RGBHV, component, S-video or composite video @ 152 metres.

• WXGA (1366x768) @ 152 metres (500 ft)
• External dipswitch-configurable video format
(RGBHV, component, composite S-video and HDTV modes)
• External 4-level cable length EQ adjustment
• External audio enable/disable (MV500A)
• External simplex/duplex serial configuration (MV500S)
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection on all I/O circuits

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Receiver - Multiview AK600

Magenta Research’s MultiView AK600DP Series receivers handle WUXGA (1920x1200) 1080p-resolution video at 600 feet (183 meters). All analog video types are supported; RGBHV, YUV, Y Pb Pr, component, composite, Y/C, S-video, HDTV, PAL, SECAM or RGBS. Standard configurations also offer a choice between L/R summed audio or SPDIF digital audio or simplex serial (RS-232) alongside analog video.

• WUXGA resolution (1920x1200) at 183 metres (600 ft)
• Configurable for all analog video types
• Summed audio or SPDIF audio or simplex serial standard
• One button for all adjustments
• Optional skew compensation module with 65ns per colour
• Standard UTP output enables daisy-chaining

Receiver - Multiview AK1200

All adjustment controls on the AK1200DP have been simplified for vastly-improved ease-of-use, beginning with (the optional) AkuComp II skew compensation (required when skew-free cabling is not used). A knob is now used to adjust skew-delay with coloured LEDs on the unit indicating which colour is being delayed. Skew comp has also been increased to 65ns. The same knob, when pressed, cycles from skew adjustment to cable EQ, which is used to adjust for actual UTP cable length.

• WUXGA resolution (1920x1200) at 366 metres (1200 ft)
• Configurable for all analog video types
• Summed audio or SPDIF audio or simplex serial standard
• One button for all adjustments
• Optional skew compensation module with 65ns per colour
• Standard UTP output enables daisy-chaining

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Receiver - Multiview XR2000

XR-2000 feature display-addressable duplex serial control (-SAP models). -SAP models enables bidirectional communication with individual displays, even when the receivers are daisy-chained together for signal distribution efficiency. A single computer Com port is all that is required for communication with up to a dozen different displays and/or projectors.

• WUXGA resolution (1920x1200) at 610 metres (2,000 ft)
• Configurable for all analog video types
• Summed audio or SPDIF audio or simplex serial standard
• One button for all adjustments
• Optional skew compensation module with 65ns per colour
• Standard UTP output enables daisy-chaining

Matrix Switcher - Mondo Matrix

The Mondo Matrix is available in configurations that will meet the need of any conceivable installation, from 16x16 to 256x512, and is fully compatible with Magenta's full line of MultiView Series transmitters and receivers. The Mondo Matrix also features redundant (dual) power supplies for added reliability.

• Configurable from 16x16 to 256x512--in steps of 16 inputs or outputs--to meet a wide-range of larger-scale full-matrix switching applications
• Audio and/or serial pairs can be switched separately
• Used in conjunction with the MultiView Series of Cat5 transmitters and receivers, enabling high-resolution video, audio and serial distribution to 610 metres (2,000 ft)
• Video, audio and/or serial signals are switched in combination, greatly reducing complexity
• Cat5 / RJ45 inputs and outputs, rather than BNC's, lead to a dramatic reduction in: connections / rack space / power consumption / installation labour
