Magenta Research, the recognized leader in video, audio and control signal distribution and switching over Cat5/CatX cable and optical fiber, is pleased to announce the public debut of its next-generation MultiView UTP receivers at this year's InfoComm 2008.

Continuing the practice of providing receivers in varying distance tiers, a method first introduced by Magenta seven years ago, MultiView receivers are now offered in highperformance 600 foot, 1,200 foot and (an industry-best) 2,000 foot stages along with a value-priced 500 foot category.

"As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, Magenta is especially proud to unveil a restructured MultiView receiver line which was developed in direct response to customer needs," stated Bob Michaels, Magenta Vice President. "The MultiView Series now boasts even higher performance over longer distances with lower price points." Magenta's flagship XR-2000 offers 1920x1200 (1080p) resolution at 2,000 feet, with no repeaters or splitters needed! Audio or simplex serial options are standard.

AK600DP and AK1200DP receivers are rated for 1920x1200 (1080p) resolution video at their maximum respective distances. Audio or simplex serial options are included
standard in these two receiver tiers as well.

MV500A and MV500S receivers serve up 1366x768 (720p) video resolution at 500 feet along with summed L/R audio and simplex/duplex serial respectively. When combined
with an STx transmitter, MV500 Series receivers offer a lower cost-per-distance ratio from Magenta than ever before.

All AK and XR receivers are dual-port to enable daisy chaining of receivers and now also boast a single knob to adjust for both cable length and (optional) skew compensation (Aku Comp II with 65ns of skew compensation). –SA (video + stereo audio + duplex RS-
232), -SAP video + stereo audio + addressable Duplex RS-232) and RS-232 options are also available in the 600, 1,200 and 2,000-foot receiver tiers.

The new MultiView line of receivers continues Magenta's "building-block" approach to signal distribution by ensuring that all products work together while enabling "home-run"
cabling and/or daisy chain distribution options. Legacy and next-generation products are fully compatible with each other as well as with all Magenta transmitters, distribution amplifiers and switches.
