CHAPTER 2: Introduction . 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview This manual covers the Magenta MultiView™ NEC 600 card slot CAT5 Receiver unit. The NEC 600 is intended for use only in compatible NEC displays that have the card slot feature. All signals are input directly into the display so external cabling or power is not required. The NEC 600 card slot receiver supports video, stereo audio and the SAP pollable RS232 option on a single CAT5 cable. In order to support all signals a compati

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation . 3.3.2 Skew Compensation Settings The NEC 600 receiver features integrated skew compensation to adjust for signal timing differences due to differing pair lengths within the CAT5 cable. Using the delay signals, skew may be compensated from 2 to 65 nanoseconds in 2 nanosecond increments on each individual color pair. An image file is available to assist in these settings. See Figure 3-4 for an example. 1. To adjust individual colors, press the EQ/

MAGENTA MULTIVIEW™ SERIES 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Common Problems In most cases, nearly every issue with the MultiView CAT5 Video System can be resolved by checking the CAT5 termination and making sure that it’s pinned to the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification. However, there may be other problems that cause the system to not perform as it’s designed. Below are solutions to the most common installation errors. Problem: No video signal at the transmitter local port or a

. Problem: “Green shift” or “green washout” on multimedia signals. Solution: The standard video/serial model is designed to function with DC coupled signals in which the black level is referenced to 0 volts. Nearly all VGA cards function this way. Some media servers, however, provide AC coupled signals and can cause a green color shift in the video. This

APPENDIX B: Setting Sync modes. Appendix B. Setting Sync Mode The NEC 600 has the capability for fixed and agile sync. The default sync mode setting is for agile sync which replicates the source sync polarity signals. However some displays require a fixed sync polarity that is not possible to change at the video source. 1080P signals may also require this mode if the sync is a very narrow pulse. The following details how to change the sync polarity of the horizontal and vertical sync
