1. INTRODUCTION.

Congratulations on buying the Marmitek GigaVideo570™! It enables you to transmit the signal of your Video recorder, DVD-player, DVD-recorder, Satellite receiver, set top box, PC etc. to your (second) TV without running wires. It enables you to connect 2 sources simultaneously and simply switch between both signals without changing plugs. With the GigaVideo570™ you can also transmit films from your PC to the TV in the living room or bedroom, transmit MP3 audio to your Hifi system and monitor your baby or patients by using your video camera, all from a remote location. The built-in infra-red extension feature enables you to control your A/V devices with your own remote remote control and control the two connected sources from the room where you watch TV! Using the 5,8GHz frequency, you will normally have no problems with distortion from wireless (WiFi) networks, microwave for example.

3. SETTING UP THE TRANSMITTER.

See figures 1 and 3.

The transmitter can be connected to two A/V devices and a local TV.

1. Switch the Power slide switch [B] into the 'OFF' position.
2. Connect the RCA/RCA cable to the 'A/V IN 2' [C] or the Mini-DIN/RCA cable on the 'A/V IN 1' [G] of the transmitter.
3. Connect the RCA plugs of this cable to the A/V device you want to transmit the signal from. Make sure the colours of the plugs and the input connectors match. If the A/V device is equipped with a scart connector you can also connect the transmitter using the scart adapter labelled 'TRANSMITTER'.
4. In order to also connect the AV device to 'TV1' (your local TV), insert a Mini -DIN/RCA cable between the 'AV OUT' of the transmitter and your 'TV1'. If this TV is equipped with a scart connector you can also connect the transmitter using the included scart adapter labelled 'AV OUT'.
5. Set to channel selector [A] (A-B-C-D) to A.
6. Insert the plug of one of the power adapters in the 'DC in' [E] on the back of the transmitter and plug the power adapter included into a wall socket (230V-50Hz). Please use only the adapter provided!
7. Turn the On/Off switch [B] to 'ON'.
8. Place the transmitter in an easy accessible spot with enough space around it. Aim the inside (flat side) of the dish antenna [K] at the location of the receiver.
9. Put the side antenna [J] in an upright position.
10. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to set up the second A/V device and then turn the On/Off switch [B] to 'ON' again.

Video signal and S-VIDEO signal

The connector on the back of the transmitter is no S-VIDEO connector. This is why you can't connect S-VIDEO signals to the Marmitek GigaVideo570™ but only 'ordinary' video signals. If you only have S-VIDEO output on your AV device or PC (you can recognize an S-VIDEO connection by a small round mini DIN plug with 4 pins), then you can use the Marmitek S-VIDEO to composite video adapter (art. no. 09388, not included).

4. SETTING UP THE RECEIVER.

See figures 2 and 4.

1. Turn the On/Off switch [B] to 'OFF'.
2. Connect the Mini-DIN/RCA cable on the outputs at the backside of the receiver [L].
3. Plug the other end of this cable into the A/V input of TV2 or the video recorder. Make sure the colours of the plugs and the input connectors match. If the TV is equipped with a scart connector then you can also connect the transmitter using the included scart adapter labelled 'RECEIVER'.

Tip: The GigaVideo570 set is provided with a modulator. Using this, you can also connect the receiver to your TV via an antenna cable. This is ideal when your TV is not provided with a SCART input (antenna cable not additionally supplied). Link the GigaVideo570 to your TV via the RF output [M]. During the use of the RF output, your TV should be tuned on channel 36.

1. Insert the plug of the remaining power adapter into the DC input [E] on the back of the receiver and plug the power adapter included into a wall socket (230V-50Hz). Please use only the adapter provided!
2. Turn the On/Off switch [B] to 'ON'.

3. Set to channel selector [A] (A-B-C-D) to A.

4. Place the receiver in an easy accessible spot with enough space around it, e.g. on top of the TV. Point the inside (flat side) of the dish antenna [K] at the location of the transmitter.

5. Put the side antenna [J] in an upright position.

5. SETTING UP THE IR EXTENDER FEATURE.

1. Connect the IR Extender included to the input [F] at the back of the transmitter (see figure 3).
2. Remove the small paper protective label of one of the IR emitters. Place this IR emitter on the IR window of the A/V device you want to control. Affix the emitter very lightly. Before affixing the IR emitter firmly you are advised to check if the extender works properly. Therefore point your own remote at the window on the front of the receiver and press some of the channel choose buttons. If the channel does not change, the IR emitter may not be fixed in the right position. The position is sometimes critical. Repeat this procedure for fixing the 2nd IR emitter to the other A/V device connected.
3. You can use the third IR to control a third AV device. If you are not using this IR emitter, don't remove it!

6. FINE TUNING THE GigaVideo570™ SET.

Make sure your AV equipment is switched on.

When the receiver on your TV is connected with RCA plugs and/or a SCART adapter: Switch the TV, to which you have connected the receiver, over to the TV channel, which belongs to the A/V input, on which you have connected the receiver. In case of most appliances, you do that by pressing the 0 or A/V button. You will now have an image directly. The TV will never have to look for channels for the connection via 'A/V IN'.

When the receiver on your TV is connected to the RF output: Switch the TV, to which you have connected the receiver, over to TV channel 36.

The wireless GigaVideo570™ usually works best with the flat faces of the antennas [K] on the Transmitter and Receiver unit look at one another. Sometimes however distance, reflections and other effects in the home may affect the signal so that some adjustment of either Transmitter or Receiver antenna may be necessary to get the best signal. If still experiencing difficulty, try changing the "ABCD" channel selector [A] and change channels. Remember though both the receiver and transmitter must be on the same channel.

The maximum distance between transmitter and receiver depends on local circumstances, but on average the distance is up to 30m , through walls and floors. If you experience signal problems please read chapter 9: Frequently Asked Questions.

7. HOW DO I CONNECT THE GigaVideo570™ TO MY PC.

The GigaVideo570™ has to be connected to the 'TV-out' or 'Video-out' of your PC. The connection can usually be found on the graphics card. The signal needs to be a so-called 'composite video signal'. This is also called 'CVBS'. Connecting to a PC can be done with RCA/RCA on A/V1b as well as RCA/mini-DIN on A/V2.

The connector of your graphics card can look as follows (see figure 5):

Yellow RCA connector (RCA Yellow)

If your PC is fitted with this connector, the yellow plug of the RCA cable included can be directly connected to the yellow RCA connector of your transmitter.

DIN-plug (S-VIDEO)

If your graphics card is fitted with the S-VIDEO-connector you cannot directly connect the transmitter to your PC but need an adapter. This adapter 'converts' your S-VIDEO-signal into a composite video signal. This adapter is usually supplied with the graphics card (or PC) with TV-out. You can also get this adapter from your Marmitek dealer. (See figure 6; Art.nr. 09388).

TV Out (S-video)
Figure 6

Figure 5

This standard adapter does not fit on all PCs. In that case, please contact the supplier of the graphics card. To use the TV-out some settings in the graphics card menu need to be changed. This is different for each PC and operating system, but usually the correct mode needs to be selected. Select 'composite', 'CVBS' or 'PAL-G'. More information can usually be found in the PC manual or graphics card manual. Because there are so many different types of graphics cards, we cannot offer any support.

To transmit sound, you can use the audio out on the sound card of your PC. Please use an adapter to convert the 3.5mm plug to a double RCA connection.

8. USING THE GigaVideo570TM SET.

1. Make sure your AV device is switched on.
2. Switch the receiving TV over to the TV transmitter going with the A/V input you plugged the receiver into. Normally done by using the 0 or A/V button. The picture should now automatically be there. No tuning is required.
   When you make use of the modulator [M], it should be done in channel 36.
3. Then you can control your A/V device with your own remote control by pointing it at the IR window of the receiver or the IR window of your A/V device. The source can also be switched by keeping the source button [S] at the backside of the receiver pressed for about 5 seconds. You can switch sources at 'TV 1' (where the transmitter is connected), by setting the SOURCE button [S] (at the backside of the transmitter) in the right position, so the device switches over.
4. 2 external A/V devices can be connected to the transmitter.

Selecting the source:

Using 'TV2' (connected to the receiver), you can change sources by pressing any button of a remote control for at least 8 seconds (e.g. of your TV or AV device).

Independent of the signal on 'TV1' you can select a signal for 'TV2'.

9. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

I get no signal.

• Check that the units are connected to mains and that the Power-switch is in the ON position
• Check that both units in the 'ON' position [B].
• Check if the receiving TV is on the correct AV channel. Raise the small black side antenna [J] to an upright position.

The signal received is poor.

Try another channel (A, B, C or D; the channel settings must be the same on both units).
- Move transmitter and/or receiver from the immediate vicinity of the connected A/V devices. These may affect the range.
You are (almost) out of range.
- Moving the position of the transmitter and/ or receiver a few centimetres may rectify the problem.

The images and sound are perfect, but the infra-red return signal does not work.

Check the following:

• Depending on the local situation the 5.8GHz AV signal can reach further than the 433MHz signal of the IR receiver. Try again with shorter distances.
• Has the IR emitter been properly connected to the transmitter?
• Has the IR emitter been properly fixed on the IR window of your AV device?

I do get images but no sound.

• The GigaVideo570™ can send analogue stereo signals, such as e.g. Dolby Surround. Digital systems such as Dolby 5.1 or Dolby Digital cannot be transmitted.
• You have connected an S-VIDEO (Mini-DIN) signal to the transmitter directly with an S-VIDEO cable. This is not possible. You need to use the cables included and connect them to the scart or RCA output of your A/V device.

Does the GigaVideo570™ cause a conflict with my wireless network (WLAN)?

No, WiFi makes use of the 2.4Ghz frequency band. The GigaVideo570 makes use of the 5.8GHz frequency band. In cases where a 2.4GHz video transmitter experiences distortion from a WiFi network, for example, then the GigaVideo570 can be the right solution

Can I combine multiple receivers?

Yes. However, the signal will be the same on all receivers.

Can I combine multiple transmitters?

You can use a maximum of 4 transmitters with one or more receivers. You can use 4 different channels. The infrared return channel cannot be set separately and will work with the entire system. Transmitters and receivers of GigaVideo570™ are not compatible with transmitters and receivers that operate on a 2.4GHz frequency band.
