	400R3314-01 Chassis Please call for card options	Morph it	As its name implies, Magenta’s Morph-It™ Cat5 distribution platform may be configured for a variety of different video transmission and switching applications. The Morph-It platform includes a 4U, 16-slot frame and a selection of multiple accessory cards, which are powered via the Morph-It’s backplane. Combining MultiView Dual EQ cards with a MultiView Matrix or Mondo Matrix can add +/- 500 feet of effective cable length. Especially useful in a switched environment, the ability to null input distances results in users setting skew and EQ for cable length once, rather than adjusting every time a new input and source are paired. This solution eliminates the need for input Cat5/UTP lengths to be similar. Another benefit is the potential to use shorter distance MultiView receivers on the display end, thus reducing equipment costs. For example, the illustration on page two demonstrates how less expensive AK600 receivers can replace AK1200 receivers. Morph-It also accepts MultiView Dual Transmitter Cards. With its 16 slots, Morph-It can hold and power 32 transmitters in 4U (see page two), compared to the 10U that would be needed to more conventionally rack mount and power 32 MultiView UTx Transmitters — saving 6U of rack space, installation labor and at least 25% of the equipment cost. (Morph-It is cost effective when there are 12 or more sources co-located). Dual (redundant) power supplies are a standard feature of the Morph-It platform. Multiple versions of the Dual Transmitter Card address a variety of user needs, and are listed in the Specifications section.	More Info

	400R3390-01	Infinea DVI	Magenta Research's Infinea is the ultimate solution for transporting DVI signals over copper and or Fiber. Infinea extends the reach of DVI sources in two different ways.	More Info
	2211070-01	HD-One Kit	Traditional HDMI over UTP products require a pair of CatX cables (typically with at least one shielded cable required) in order to remotely send video, audio and HDCP signals from a transmitter to a receiver. Now, Magenta Research offers a single cable HDMI extension solution! HD-One passes 1080p resolution video, audio and HDCP signals to 150 feet/46 meters and 1080i/720p to 200 feet/61 meters, all on one Cat6 cable. Additionally, only the HD-One transmitter requires power as the receiver is powered remotely via the UTP cable. HD-One’s distance reach and use of inexpensive, easy to terminate UTP cable, make this product an obvious choice for HDMI extension whether it’s a Blu-Ray player, a cable/set-top box or a PC with an HDMI output. Such distances are virtually impossible to replicate using specially constructed HDMI cables, which, even at short distances, deteriorate image quality, are extremely difficult to terminate in the field and carry a high cost factor. Key Features HDMI signal extension using a single UTP cable 1080p HD video & audio at 150ft/46m 720p and 1080i HD video & audio at 200ft/61m Only transmitter requires power; receiver is powered remotely via UTP HDCP compliant	More Info

Image	Part Number	Product	Description	Datasheet
	Mondo TC	Mondo Touch Controller	Mondo TC (Touch Control) Mondo TC, the latest addition to the Mondo Matrix family of products, offers a robust, yet intuitive way to control a Mondo III switch. Scalable to any size Mondo III, Mondo TC is ready to rack mount in 3U and allows users to change inputs and outputs with the press of a finger on the unit’s 5x7 touch screen interface. All inputs and outputs can be custom-labeled in order to enable easier on-screen recognition. Switch input/output configurations can also be saved locally for instant recall at any time. Furthermore, Mondo TC allows users to take advantage of Mondo III’s inherent ability to switch audio and/or serial independently of video from the same input. For example, routing audio from input 1 to outputs 3-6 and video from input 2 to outputs 3-6 is easily accomplished with a few touches. The affordable Mondo TC was engineered to bridge the gap between basic switch control options—such as Windows Hyper Terminal—and more complicated and expensive third-party control options. Never has it been easier to control a Mondo! Key Features Touch screen control for Mondo III Adapts to any size Mondo III switch Switch 4th pair (audio and/or serial) independently of video Ready to rack mount in 3U Custom label inputs and outputs for instant recognition Save and recall switch input/output configurations Dual 12V power supplies for redundancy	More Info
