3.3.4 CONNECTIONS ON THE VGA/AUDIO T4/T5 TRANSMITTERS
The T4 four-port transmitter is used when the same signal is distributed
to multiple display devices. You set it up and cable it the same as you would with
the single-port transmitter. Figure 3-5 shows how connections are made on the
audio version, and Figure 3-6 shows how connections are made on the serial RS-232
T4S version.
NOTE
Serial communication mode is unidirectionally broadcast when using T4, T5
transmitters and daisy-chained receivers. In this mode, all other MultiView CAT5
devices must be of the simplex serial type. For more information, contact
Technical Support.

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation
3.3.5 CONNECTIONS ON THE SINGLE-PORT VGA SA and SAP
The Single-Port MultiView™ CAT5 Video System SA/SAP series supports RS-232,
video and stereo audio signals over CAT5 cable. SAP offers pollable serial modes so a
bi-directional serial session can be established with a receiver in a daisy chain.
At this time the Magenta MultiView units that support the SA/SAP versions are the
Magenta MultiView UTx Universal Transmitter, AK500, AK1000, and AK1500 receivers.
The Magenta MultiView T4, T5 transmitters do not support SA/SAP versions.
In order to utilize the full potential of the Magenta MultiView SA/SAP series, all
transmitters and receivers must be SA/SAP versions.
You cannot connect a standard RS232 or L/R audio version to an SA/SAP version to
get a single serial or audio signal. Video modes are not affected by this.
Serial signals are 3 wire RS232 (Tx, Rx, ground) and fixed at 9600 baud. Full 9 pin
modem signals are not supported.
Note when using the Magenta MultiView SA/SAP series with a MultiView 9D Cat5 DA,
or Cat5 matrix switch, the serial is transmit only. There are no configuration changes
required to the units. The serial application in use should be changed to transmit only.
Audio is full stereo, line level. One or two separate channels of mono audio may also
be used.
See figures below for cabling connections.
Appendix F details the configuration and use of the SAP series.
NOTE
SA units are pre-configured from the factory and require no configuration
changes. SAP Units require unique addresses when pollable serial is used. See
Appendix F.
