MultiView
™II DVI-Rx-1K Receiver:
Quick Start Guide
The
Magenta MultiView™II DVI-Rx-1K receiver extends DVI-D digital video, and optionally audio, and serial auxiliary signals over
F/UTP
‡
cable. There are user-configurable settings for audio and serial options which can be controlled from the front panel. For more
details please refer to the complete MultiView
™II DVI-Rx-1K User Guide, available for download at
www.tvone.com
.
NOTE: The MVII-DVI-Rx-1K receiver will ONLY work correctly with a matching MVII-DVI-Tx transmitter (Fixed-Sync mode).
Required Tools / Hardware / Materials:
Tools include appropriate screwdriver(s) and mounting hardware (optional, for example: rack-
mount, wall or under-desk mounting). Required materials include appropriate cables for your specific application.
Power-up Check: Connect all signal and power cables, then apply AC power. The power ON indicator should light. If there is a DVI
OUT monitor attached, a video image should appear on the monitor. If there is no image on the display, recheck the MVII DVI-Tx has a
valid source, all cables are connected, and ensure the display is turned on.
Setting the EQ and Skew: By default, the MVII-DVI-Rx-
1K has the “auto-EQ/Skew” feature enabled. Within a few seconds of
connecting the F/UTP cable to the link-input, EQ and Skew settings should be automatically found which give a picture on the DVI
OUT.While the receiver is actively auto-detecting, the range LEDs will repeatedly scan from 1 to 8 (this is EQ-hunt mode). When valid
EQ and Skew settings are found, the range LEDs will stop and display the final EQ setting. The “auto-EQ/Skew” will give a picture, but
during installation you MUST fine-tune for good video output. The EQ/Skew setting is critical
– or there will be no video output at all.
Front Panel Controls:
(
Refer to Figure-2) There are four buttons (CFG/MODE, SKEW/SEL, DOWN and UP), and several green LED
status indicators. These are used to control the operating modes of the receiver, and to display current status.
Status Indicators at power-up: When the receiver is first powered on, the status indicators will cycle through a test sequence. If the
auto-EQ feature is enabled, the receiver will then immediately begin its auto-
EQ procedure. The “normal” LED status will then be:
POWER-ON indicator is on.
CFG indicator is off.
SKEW/RGB indicator is off.
EQ/SKEW indicators will be hunting for the correct EQ setting, then display the current EQ settings (1 to 8 = 0 to 100% range).
‡
F/UTP cable is constructed of 4 unshielded twisted pairs, with a foil screen around all 4 pairs

(Optional) Depending on installation requirements: At
any time during installation, the receiver may be securely
mounted using appropriate brackets and hardware.
PRECAUTIONS: (1) Do not apply AC power until instructed to
do so. (2) This equipment is not intended for, nor does it
support, distribution through an Ethernet network. Do not
connect these devices to any sort of networking or
telecommunications equipment! (3) Use only tvONE-approved
MultiView™ power adapters. Failure to do so may damage this
device and will void the warranty.
To see video, connect the F/UTP cable
via the LINK INPUT port to an active
MultiView II DVI-Tx video source.
(Optional) Connect the output
F/UTP cable via the LINK
OUTPUT port to more Rx units.
(Optional) Make your serial and/or audio connections
via the DB9 IOIO or AUX I/O connectors, as needed.
Connect the DC power cable
(+5VDC @ 2.6A. max) to the
POWER port.
