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 at the receiver.
Solution: • Check that both units are powered.
•Ensure EQ adjustment is set correctly — turn knob slowly.
•Make sure the CAT5 cable is terminated correctly per the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.
•Is the display device powered on and functioning?
Check to ensure display settings (resolution, refresh rate, etc) are compatible with input signal.
Problem: | Poor video quality: |
Solution: | • Have all receiver adjustments been finished (see section 3.4). |
| • Ensure EQ adjustment is set correctly — turn knob slowly. |
| • Check all cable connections. |
| • The video signal’s refresh rate may be set too high. Reset to a |
| lower refresh rate in your |
| • There may be a delay skew issue. See Section on Skew. |
Problem: | Poor audio quality: |
Solution: | • Powered speakers are required. Make sure speaker power is |
| ON. |
| • Check input source levels from the source device. Make sure |
| the audio source is not overdriven or underdriven. |
| • Audio is summed left and right for “A” versions. If using a single |
| channel, both audio inputs must be connected at the transmitter |
| end for full audio gain. Audio is line level. |
| • SA serial//audio units support full stereo line level. A high |
| frequency noise may be heard if the cat5 cable from the |
| transmitter is disconnected, or the transmitter is not on. |
| This is normal and will disappear once a complete link |
| connection is made. SAP units do not exhibit this behavior. |
