Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON. Release the CFG button.
o
LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-1 configuration settings as bright/off.
Press and release the SKEW/SEL button five times. The CFG indicator will start flashing.
o
LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-2 configuration settings as bright/off.
Press and release the SKEW/SEL button once.
LED indicators 1 and 2 should be illuminated (either DIM or ON); all others (indicators 3-8) should be off.
Press the UP and DOWN button repeatedly to step through the available video-option settings as shown below.

dim
Force clamp-mode On.
If needed, this is the preferred setting for RGBHV (VGA) video.
Note:
The default auto-detect clamp-mode setting will usually work for any RGBHV(VGA), component or composite video signal
being received from a MultiView transmitter. However, in some cases it may be necessary to manually select either the OFF or ON
setting: OFF is preferred for component & composite signals; ON is preferred for RGBHV(VGA) signals.
Configuration Mode-2, 4
th
Pair Termination:
The MVII-AK1200 provides settings for 4
th
pairtermination: ON or OFF. This
setting has an effect only for “-S”, “-A” and S/PDIF operating modes. Note: It is not possible to access the 4
th
-pair setting if an option
board is installed
– since this setting is ignored.
Set to ON for all single-receiver applications, and for the last receiver in a daisy-chained configuration.
o
This is the factory-default.
Set to OFF only for mid-span receivers in a daisy-chain configuration.
(starting in normal-mode)
Press and hold the CFG button until the CFG indictor is ON.
o
LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-1 configuration settings as bright/off.
Press and release the SKEW/SEL button five times. The CFG indicator will start flashing.
o
LEDs 1-8 will show the current value for all Mode-2 configuration settings as bright/off.
Press and release the SKEW/SEL button twice.
LED indicator 3 should be illuminated (either DIM or ON); all others (indicators 1, 2 and 4-8) should be off.

Troubleshooting:
In many cases, problems encountered when installing
MultiView™ II extension products can
be resolved by checking the CAT5 cable termination. It must be pinned out according to the TIA/EIA 568B
standard wiring specification. For additional troubleshooting information or to obtain the TIA/EIA 568B wiring
specifications please refer to the MVII-AK1200 User Guide, downloadable from
