About this Manual
MultiView™ II AK600DP/AK1200DP Installation and User Guide 1
Chapter 1 About this Manual
This manual describes the Magenta MultiView™ II AK600DP and AK1200DP receivers, and contains the
following information:
Product overview (Chapter 2)
Product specifications (Chapter 3)
Installation and configuration instructions (Chapter 4)
Troubleshooting (Chapter 5)
Additional information (Appendices)
The Magenta MultiView™ II family (MVII) of products introduces greater compatibility for handling HD video
standards, as well as making nearly all user-configurable options “jumperless” via a digital front-panel user-
interface.
Note: MultiView II products are fully backwards-compatible with previous MultiView products. Combining MVII
with original MV products may limit access to some of the improved capabilities of the MVII series, so for best
possible compatibility with sources and displays, always try to use MVII products throughout your system
configuration.
The following table shows the factory-configured versions of the MVII-AK600(1200)DP.
Table 1: Available MVII-AK600(1200)DP Versions
Version
Description
MVII-AK600(1200)DP-S/A
Supports L+R summed audio or simplex serial (user-configuration setting).
MVII-AK600(1200)DP-SAP
Supports 3-wire RS-232 serial (simplex or duplex), and true stereo audio.
The serial feature is POLLABLE, so that multiple receivers on a daisy-
chained link can be addressed individually for display control or status-
query.
Contains the (SAP) option module.
Note:
1. Each of the above variants is also available with the AkuComp-II skew-compensation module installed.
2. The –S/A version is also field-configurable for S/PDIF digital audio extension on the 4th-pair.
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.
Use only approved MultiView™ II power adapters. Failure to do so may damage this device and
will void the warranty.

Product Overview
MultiView™ II AK600DP/AK1200DP Installation and User Guide 2
Chapter 2 Product Overview
The MVII-AK600(1200)DP is a video receiver that is compatible with the entire MultiView™ family of products.
It extends an analog video signal over standard CAT cable (CAT5, 5x, 6, 7 etc). There are user-configurable
settings for video, audio, and serial options which can be controlled from the front panel.
The MVII-AK600(1200)DP features optional integrated skew compensation that can be varied in 2 ns
increments to 65 ns total per color-channel to cancel the effects of skew in Category cables. This feature allows
you to use CAT5e and reduced-skew CAT6 cables to lengths up to 600ft (186m) for AK600DP, or 1200ft
(366m) for AK1200DP.
All models support video refresh rates/resolutions up to 1920x1200 to 600 feet (183m) with the AK600DP, and
1200ft (366m) with the AK1200DP.
2.1 Front Panel Interfaces
The front panel of the MVII-AK600(1200)DP has the following controls and indicators:
There are four buttons (CFG/MODE, SKEW/SEL, DOWN, and UP) and several LED status indicators. All are
used to display and control the operating modes of the receiver, with the LEDs having multiple functions. The
CFG indicator shows these modes:
In normal mode, the CFG indicator is off.
In configuration mode, the CFG indicator will be on or flashing.

3.2 Twisted-Pair Cable Compatibility
MultiView products are compatible with Cat5/5e/6 data cabling, as well as “minimized skew”CAT5/5e cabling
(also referred to as “low-skew”) manufactured specifically for video applications. Follow these tips to ensure
proper usage of your Category cabling:
Some “low-skew” is specific to a particular vendor and is incompatible with our products. Ensure that
any “low-skew”cable is non-proprietary before purchase and installation.
CAT6 cable, due to the manufacture method, can exhibit much greater skew than standard CAT5/5e
and might require skew compensation beyond what the capabilities of the AkuComp-II option module
offers. Please contact tech-support for assistance.
Cabling for the Magenta MultiView™ Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B wiring specification.
We also highly recommend that all cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or
in an existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA T568B
specification. Using incorrectly terminated cables can damage the Magenta MultiView™ Series.
The cable should be suitably rated Listed cable ( DUZX ) communication cables, TYPE CMP, CMR,
CMG or CM as designated in the NEC.
Cables are to be installed in accordance with the NEC and local building and electrical codes. This is
the responsibility of the end user/installer of this product.
The following figure shows the T568B Wiring specification.

Chapter 4 Installation
This section describes the following installation topics:
Data mode configuration
Prerequisites to installation
Installation procedure
Post-installation adjustments
Post-installation configuration settings
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!
Do not connect DC power until instructed to do so.
4.1 Option-Module Configuration
If you are installing a MVII-AK600(1200)DP-SAP version receiver (this is equipped with the SAP hardware
option module), then the following information will be important to review BEFORE installing the receiver:
The MVII-AK600(1200)DP-SAPversion offers pollable RS232 duplex serial in addition to stereo audio. The
serial interface is 3-wire (TX, RX, GND) and does not support full modem signals. The factory-default serial
baud rate is 9600 baud, but this is a user-configurable option using “SAP-II” serial commands. Simplex modes
are supported without jumpers or other changes, by simply using the TX signal only. The SAP-module
capability of polling and interacting with specific receivers requires that each receiver have a unique address
setting. Please refer to Appendix-C for (SAP) module configuration information, and Appendix-D for SAP-
address settings. Setting this address involves opening your unit and setting DIP switches inside.
4.2 Prerequisites
Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related
hardware (mounting screws) might be required. These are not provided with Magenta products.
The following items might be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research:
Audio cable: Phoenix 4-pin to RCA.
Video cable: HD15 connectors, or one of several BNC/RCA/S-Video breakout cables.
Serial cable: Phoenix 4-pin to DB9, or one of several DB9-M/F, M/M or F/F extension cables.
Note: You will need appropriate twisted-pair cable as previously described, to connect the MVII-
AK600(1200)DP to other MultiView™ and MultiView™ II devices. tvONE does not supply Category cable.
