The Magenta MultiView II XRTx is a professional video and audio transmitter designed for extending high-resolution computer video signals, along with stereo audio, over long distances using a single CATx (Category 5e/6/6a) cable. This unit is part of Magenta's MultiView II series, which focuses on reliable signal extension for commercial AV installations. The transmitter accepts a VGA or component video (YPbPr) input and a stereo analog audio input, combines them, and transmits the signal in a balanced format over UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cabling. This approach provides a cost-effective and flexible alternative to running bulky, dedicated VGA and audio cables, especially over distances where standard VGA cables would suffer significant signal degradation. The system is designed to support resolutions up to UXGA (1600x1200) and 1080p, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of computer and video sources.

A key feature of the MultiView II system is its integrated equalization and reclocking technology, which actively compensates for high-frequency loss inherent in long cable runs. This ensures the received image at the far end remains sharp, stable, and free from ghosting or color shifts. The transmitter often includes user-adjustable controls, accessible via DIP switches or potentiometers, for fine-tuning parameters like horizontal and vertical positioning, phase, and clock to achieve a perfect picture on the remote display. The audio is embedded into the transmission stream, maintaining synchronization with the video. The companion receiver unit (such as the MultiView II XRRx) is required at the display location to decode the signal back into standard VGA and audio outputs.

Housed in a compact, metal enclosure, the XRTx transmitter is designed for discreet installation near the source device. It is typically powered by an external AC adapter. For system integrators, this product provides a reliable solution for distributing computer video and audio in applications like digital signage, classrooms, conference rooms, and control centers. By leveraging standard structured cabling, it simplifies installation, reduces material costs, and provides a scalable method for sending high-quality video to displays located hundreds of feet from the source, all while maintaining broadcast-quality signal integrity.
