Content of the packing

CAT5e/CAT6 cable requirements

• UTP-, FTP- or STP-cable
• 24AWG or lower
• Solid twisted pair
• 100 ohm at 1MHz
• RJ-45 jack according to EIA/TIA T568B standard

Instead of CAT5e cable, CAT6 cable may also be applied (this offers better quality). Use a ‘solid twisted pair CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable’ in order to optimize transfer quality.

Installation

In order to ensure that the system is working properly, you are advised to check the setup with short CAT-5e/6 cable lengths first.

1. Switch off all appliances before you start connecting.
2. Connect the HDMI source (HD-DVD player, Blu-ray disc player, HD set-top box, game console, etc.) to the MegaView 60 transmitter [1], using an HDMI cable (not provided).
3. Connect the MegaView 60 receiver to the appliance shown [2] (e.g. HDTV or] projector), using an HDMI cable (not provided).
4. Use two CAT5e/6 Ethernet cables to connect the MegaView 60 transmitter with the MegaView 60 receiver [3&4].
5. The RJ45 plug on these cables must be connected according to EIA/TIA T568B standard, see attachment page xx. Make sure that the CAT5e/6 cable and the transmitter and receiver connections (CAT5e-1 en CAT5e-2) correspond to one another.
6. Connect the power adapter [5] to the ‘DC/5V’ connection on the MegaView 60 receiver (HDMI Receiver) and plug the adapter into a socket.

Usage

1. Switch on the HDMI source (e.g. HD set-top box or multi-media PC).
2. Switch on the display device (for instance HDTV or projector) and select the appropriate input. Usually, you will do this by pressing the A/V or EXT button of your remote control.
3. You will receive images from the connected A/V device immediately.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Bad (or no) image and sound

• Ensure that the CAT5e/6 cables are connected correctly between the] MegaView60/61 transmitter and receiver (CAT5e-1 to CAT5e-1 and CAT5e-2 to CAT5e-2).
• Check if the A/V device is switched on.
• Use only CAT5e/CAT6 cable as specified in chapter 3 (CAT5e Cable Requirements).
• Check if the CAT5e/CAT6 cable provides a solid connection (no cable faults).
• Check if the RJ-45 has been connected according to the EIA/TIA T568B standard. Please refer to attachment page XX
• Please ensure that the maximum cable length is not exceeded.
• Install your system as far away from any RF sources (wireless devices) as possible.
• Set a low resolution on your HDMI source. The CAT5e/6 cable used probably cannot deal with the higher resolution bandwidth.
