NEC Display Solutions and Magenta Research have unveiled a brand new MultiView card-slot UTP receiver.

The MultiView NEC600-SAP is the most sophisticated UTP receiver engineered by Magenta and is designed to fit in the expansion slot of select NEC commercial displays. When combined with a MultiView -SAP transmitter, the NEC600-SAP receiver enables 1920x1200 resolution video at 600 feet (183 meters), along with stereo audio and addressable duplex serial, all over a single UTP cable. Product features include a standard UTP pass through, enabling up to 12 MultiView receivers to be daisy-chained together. The NEC600-SAP’s addressable duplex serial enables two-way communication with any receiver/display, even in a daisy-chain configuration.

When paired with Magenta’s MultiView Octet-SAP 1x8 Digital Signage Transmitter, video, stereo audio and addressable duplex serial signals can be distributed from a single source to over 450 displays. The NEC600-SAP is also fully compatible with Magenta’s new Mondo Matrix IIISAP matrix switch. The Mondo III-SAP is assembled in a modular fashion, in increments of 16 inputs/outputs, from 16x16 to 256x512. The NEC600-SAP also features Magenta’s AkuComp™ II skew compensation technology, enabling units to function flawlessly with a wide variety of cable types. Magenta’s EQ technology is included as well, allowing receivers to be finely tuned in order to compensate for cable distance. Both skew and EQ adjustments are done using a single knob, with coloured LEDs indicating—at a glance—what mode the knob is in. www.magenta-research.com
