Connections on the SINGLE-PORT VGA SA and SAP

CHAPTER 3: Setup and Installation.

3.3.3 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, AK1500 and XR2000 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.
