Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek MegaView 90TM! The MegaView 90TM provides a simple way to extend an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) signal or DVI (Digital Visual Interface) over a single CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable. It even works on your existing home network (LAN) including routers and switchers. The maximum CAT5e/6 cable length is 120 metres, at a 1080p resolution. Watch TV programmes, films and photos stored on, for example, a digital TV decoder, Media Center PC, Bluray player or HDD recorder located elsewhere in your home. Several receivers may simultaneously be connected to the same network. All Marmitek products are manufactured with the utmost precision and are of high quality. Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions to enjoy the possibilities of this product optimally.

Cat5e/cat6 cable requirements

Cable requirement

UTP-, FTP- or STP-cable
24AWG or lower
Solid twisted pair
100 ohm at 1MHz
RJ-45 jack

according to EIA/TIA T568B standard

When the set is connected to a home network (LAN), Marmitek recommends the use of switchers and routers with Gigabit (1000Mbps) network ports for best performance. 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 optimise transfer quality.

Getting started

In order to check proper functioning of the system, it is advisable to test the set-up first, using a short CAT-5e/6 cable.

Switch off all appliances before you start connecting.
Connect the HDMI source (Blu-ray disc player, TV Decoder, Media Centre PC, etc.) to the MegaView 90 transmitter [1], using an HDMI cable (not provided).
Connect your HDTV or HD projector to the MegaView 90TM receiver [3] with an HDMI cable to HDMI OUT.
Use one CAT5e/6 Ethernet cable to connect the MegaView 90’s transmitter to the receiver [4]. The MegaView 90TM can either be connected by using a single cable, or through an existing home network (LAN) in combination with network switches and routers.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to connect additional receivers.
Connect the power adapter [5] to the `5VDC’ connection on the MegaView 90TM and plug the adapters into a socket.
Attention! Do not place the MegaView 90TM transmitter or receiver in an enclosed space, such as a TV cabinet or equivalent. Provide adequate ventilation to ensure that the product is functioning properly and to protect against overheating.

Usage

Switch on the HDMI source (e.g. TV Decoder or Media Centre PC).
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.
You will receive images from the connected A/V device immediately.
When everything is working normally, the ‘DATA’ LED on the receiver will flash rapidly and the ‘LINK’ LED will light up continuously.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Bad (or no) image and sound

Please check that the HDMI source is 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 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.

The screen will display the text “Waiting for connection”

When both the ’LINK” and’DATA” LEDs are not lit on the receiver, check the cable connections to the transmitter and the sender.
When the transmitter and receiver are connected through a network (with routers / switchers), and the “DATA” LED is slowly blinking on the receiver, check the cable connection between the transmitter and the network.

The screen will display the text `’Please check the TX input signal”

Please check that the HDMI source is on.
