1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek MegaView50/51! The MegaView50/51 allows you to extend composite video and audio easily through CAT5 Ethernet cable (max. 300 meters). Devices which can be connected to this include a setup box, Media Center PC, Media Player, hard drive recorder, DVD player, satellite receiver or surveillance camera.

The MegaView51 has a built-in “infrared return channel”, which allows you to operate the connected device from another room or through closed cabinet doors using your own remote control.

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.

In order to check the correct operation of the system, it is recommended to check the planned set-up first. For this purpose, please connect everything as indicated below but do not yet stick the components or fasten the screws.

1. Switch off all A/V devices before you start connecting.

2. Connect the A/V device (for instance the setup box or Media Center PC) to the Audio and Video IN of the MegaView50/51 transmitter (Audio/Video Transmitter) [1] using a cinch cable (not included).

3. Connect the MegaView50/51 receiver (Audio/Video Receiver) to your display device [2] (for instance TV or projector) using a cinch cable (not included).

Please make sure that the colours of the plugs correspond to the input sockets. That means red to red, white to white and yellow to yellow.

1. Use a CAT5 Ethernet cable (not included) to connect the MegaView50/51 transmitter and receiver to each other [3].

INSTALLATION IR (INFRARED) RETURN (MEGAVIEW51 only)

1. Position the MegaView51 transmitter at an accessible location behind or next to your A/V devices and close to a wall socket. Please take into account the cable length of the IR LEDs and make sure that the connections remain accessible.

2. Plug the required IR Extender cable (with the 2 IR LEDs) [4] into the MegaView51 transmitter.

3. Self-adhesive foil has been supplied with the IR LEDs. This allows you to attach the IR LEDs to the IR sensor of your A/V device.

4. Test the position and operation of the IR LEDs before sticking them definitively to the IR sensor of your A/V device.
5. In case you want to operate another device besides your A/V device (of which you are transmitting the signal), you may use the second IR LED for this.

6. If you are only using one of the two IR LEDs, please leave the second IR LED unused. Never remove it from the extender cable!

7. Now connect the IR Receiver [5] to the MegaView51 receiver.

8. Position the supplied IR receiver in sight of your infrared remote control and as little as possible in the proximity of potential sources of interference such as direct sunlight, strip light, energy saving bulbs, etc. The infrared indicator LED in the IR receiver will light up or blink when it receives infrared communication. Use this indicator LED to position the IR receiver at the most interference-free location (indicator LED will not or hardly light up when it does not receive a signal).

9. By using the supplied self-adhesive strip, placement is possible almost everywhere. Please experiment with the right positioning before definite attachment of the IR receiver.

10. Attention! The adhesive strip may cause discolouration on certain surfaces or leave behind traces of glue.

11. Connect the power adapter [6] to the "POWER" socket of the MegaView51 receiver and plug the adapter into a wall socket.

5. USAGE

1. Switch on the connected A/V device (for instance setup box or Media Center PC).
2. Switch on the display device (for instance TV or projector) and select the appropriate input. Usually you will do this by pressing the 0, A/V or EXT button of your remote control.
3. You will receive images from the connected A/V device immediately.
4. With the MegaView51 you may now also operate the connected device from this room using your own remote control, by pointing it at the IR receiver.

6. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Bad (or no) image and sound

• Check if all cables are connected properly.
• Check if the A/V device is switched on.
• Use only CAT5 cable as specified in chapter 3 (CAT5e Cable Requirements).
• Check if the CAT5 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 39
• Please ensure that the maximum cable length is not exceeded.
• Check if the cinch cables on the A/V device, the screen and the MegaView50/51 have been connected to the correct colours.
  • Install your system as far away from any RF sources (wireless devices).

Bad (or no) infrared return signal (MegaView 51)

• Both the built-in and the surface-mounted IR Receivers have a reception sensitivity of approx. 10 meters at a 90 degrees angle of aperture. Range is also dependent on the remote control used. The IR reception indicator LED in the IR receiver will light up on reception of an IR signal.
• Check if the power adapter has been connected to the MegaView51 transmitter
• Please ensure that the IR receiver and the IR extender cable have been connected properly and that they are fully plugged in.
• Please ensure that the LEDs of the IR extender cable are placed correctly to the infrared sensor of the A/V device, this has to be done very precisely. The exact position can be found easily by shining at it with a flashlight.
