3.4 Video Adjustment
3.4.1 Cable Distance Compensation Settings
Before performing the adjustment procedure below, be certain that the MultiView
AK500 C7 Receiver is connected to the CAT7 cable that will be used in your particular
installation. This is because the adjustments are specific to the type and length of UTP
cable being used.
In order to get the highest quality video signals from your MultiView AK500 C7, please
follow the instructions and diagrams below:
An image file is available for download at www.magenta-research.com/test to assist in
these settings. If the image file cannot be downloaded, use a utility to draw a black box
on a white background.
Before you begin, ensure the EQ Adjust knob is fully counter clockwise and all skew
compensation switches are in the off position.
Turn the EQ Adjust knob clockwise until the shadow next to the black box just
disappears. The brightness in the white area should be the same as the white area
above and below the black box.
3.4.2 Skew Compensation Settings
Skew compensation may be necessary for signal timing differences due to differing pair
lengths within the CAT7 cable. An alternative to using skew compensation is to utilize
Skew Free CAT7 cable. Contact Magenta Research for details.
Using the skew compensation switches, 10 nanoseconds of skew may be compensated
for each color pair.

Using the switches, adjust each color to align the Red, Green, Blue lines so that they
are stacked on top each other as a single line.
