• RJ-45 jack according to EIA/TIA T568B standard Instead of CAT5 cable, CAT6 cable may also be applied (this offers better quality).

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 settop 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). AUDIO VIDEO

IRReceiver Receiver IR Receiver 12VDC POWER IN up to 300m with Cat 5e cable

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.

4. 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

• 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.

• Test the position and operation of the IR LEDs before sticking them definitively to the IR sensor of your A/V device.

• 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.

• 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!

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

• 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).

• 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.

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

4. Connect the power adapter [6] to the “POWER” socket of the MegaView51 receiver

and plug the adapter into a wall socket.6 © MaRMiTeK

1. Switch on the connected A/V device (for instance settop 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.
