Magenta Research’s MultiView AK600DP and AK1200DP Series receivers handle WUXGA (1920x1200) 1080p-resolution video at and 366 metres respectively. All analog video types are supported; RGBHV, YUV, Y Pb Pr, component, composite, Y/C, S-video, HDTV, PAL, SECAM or RGBS. Standard configurations also offer a choice between L/R summed audio or SPDIF digital audio or simplex serial (RS-232) alongside analog video.
Both receiver models feature a standard UTP output, in order to facilitate the daisy-chaining of up to 12 MultiView receivers. This feature, when combined with a MultiView 9D distribution amplifier, enables the distribution of a single-source to hundreds of displays.
All adjustment controls on the AK1200DP have been simplified for vastly-improved ease-of-use, beginning with (the optional) AkuComp II skew compensation (required when skew-free cabling is not used). A knob is now used to adjust skew-delay with colored LEDs on the unit indicating which color is being delayed. Skew comp has also been increased to 65ns. The same knob, when pressed, cycles from skew adjustment to cable EQ, which is used to adjust for actual UTP cable length.
AK1200DP receivers feature full video-format agility. An external switch, when turned on, offers an auto-detect feature to differentiate between RGBHV and non-RGBHV sources. All video format and fourth-pair configurations (audio/serial) are field configurable.
Additional versions of the two receivers include a video + stereo audio + duplex serial model (AK1200DP-SA) and a video + stereo audio + pollable duplex-serial model (AK1200DP-SAP), which offers duplex serial interaction even in a daisy-chain application… perfect for digital signage network metric reporting!
