Introduction

The Black Box Wizard MultiMedia Plus family of digital signage extenders

provide a modular method to distribute high quality video and audio to remote

display units as well as handling serial control signals. The various modules of

the Wizard MultiMedia Plus family support a wide range of conﬁgurations: from

individual point-to-point installations to multiple screen distributions, all via CATx

cabling at distances up to 300m (1000 feet).

All Wizard MultiMedia Plus modules provide full support for RS232 serial

communications between the host system and the display(s). This support

extends not just to point-to-point connections, but also to larger scale

installations using AVU6004A and AVU6008A transmitters.

Standard Wizard MultiMedia Plus models

There are three styles of Wizard MultiMedia Plus transmitters and two types of

receiver modules available. The choice of each depends upon the quantity of

devices that need to be supported and the layout of each installation as a whole:

Wizard MultiMedia Plus AVU6010A point-to-point pair

The AVU6010A transmitter and receiver pair provide point to point operation

capable of directly supporting dual displays and speaker sets. The transmitter

can additionally support a local monitor and speaker set located adjacent to

the source system. At the receiver a single RS232 serial connector is available

for linking to a single display (AVU6011A receivers can support dual serial

ports via a special Y-cable but only when linked to AVU6004A or AVU6008A

transmitters).

The AVU6010A transmitter and receiver modules are also available separately

and are known as the AVU6001A and AV6011A respectively. Expansion is

made possible by connecting further transmitters to the original AVU6001A

transmitter module, however, the serial connection cannot be cascaded in this

manner. Where cascades with serial connections (as well as video and audio) are

required, use the AVU6004A/AVU6008A transmitters.

Wizard MultiMedia Plus AVU6111A

An AVU6111A receiver is also available which provides all of the functionality of

the AVU6011A with the addition of special skew adjustments to correct cable-

induced video timing errors on long CATx connections.

When necessary, the AVU6004A and AVU6008A modules can be used to link

with AVU5011A or AVU5111A receivers, however, the serial communications

facilities must be ﬁrst disabled using switch 10 on the AVU6004A or AVU6008A

modules (see Switch settings for details)

Wizard MultiMedia Plus AVU6004A and AVU6008A transmitters

The AVU6004A transmitter provides four CATx outputs while the AVU6008A

provides eight CATx output to directly drive AVU6011A/ AVU6111A receiver

modules located at distances up to 300m (1000 feet).

Note: An optional serial Y-cable is available, which allows a connected receiver to

provide a serial link to each display.

Expansion via cascade links

In order to create small, medium and large digital signage networks, all

Wizard MultiMedia Plus transmitters are designed to support additional

transmitter modules (and their subsequent multiple receivers). This is

achieved using the video, audio and serial out ports to provide the inputs

into the next transmitter module, and so on.

AV transmitters can be

connected in cascade to

provide further video,

audio and serial expansion

opportunities. Note that

the AVU6001A transmitter

does not support serial

cascade connections.

Additional expansion is also possible by connecting further transmitter modules to

the original module in a cascade arrangement, each supporting their own multiple

AVU6011A/ AVU6111A receiver modules - See Expansion via cascade links for

details.

Note: The AVU6001A transmitter supports video and audio cascade

connections, however, the module does not include a serial out connector

and cannot support cascaded serial connections.

A limit of three cascade connections are possible between transmitter

modules. Using the corresponding maximum of four AVU6008A

transmitters, this gives an overall support for up to 64 remote displays on 32

separate CATx branches.

Installation

Locations

Please consider the following important points when planning the positions of

your Wizard MultiMedia Plus modules:

• Take care not to exceed the maximum link cable lengths (please refer to the

section Making cascade connections).

• Ensure that the transmitters are as close as possible to the source PC system

and the receivers are similarly close to the display modules. Use video

connection cables that are correctly shielded and are no longer than 6m in

length.

• Wherever possible, choose routes for the CATx twisted pair link cables that

avoid mains power cables.

• Remember a mains power socket is required for each transmitter and

receiver.

• Consult the precautions listed within the Safety information section.

Using the rear mounting slot

The slot at the rear of AVU6011A and AVU6111A modules allow them to be

hung upon a ﬁxed screw that protrudes from the mounting surface.

IMPORTANT: The internal circuit board is accessible through the mounting slot.

Ensure that any mounting screws protrudes no further than ½” (12.5mm) into

the module casing - serious electrical damage will be caused if the screw makes

contact with the internal circuitry.

Using the self adhesive feet

Apply the supplied self-

adhesive rubber feet to the

underside corners of the

Wizard MultiMedia Plus

modules.

Mounting

Before you begin connecting to the source PC system and display devices, it is

advisable to mount the Wizard MultiMedia Plus modules in place. There are a

number of mounting possibilities for the transmitter and receiver modules:

• On a horizontal surface using the supplied self adhesive feet,

• Mounted on a screw using the rear slot,

• Within the optional rack mount chassis,







Using the optional rack mount chassis

1 Place the optional rack plate onto the front of the transmitter or receiver

module and secure it with the countersunk screws.

2 Orient the module on its side so that its labelled face is the correct way up

and the securing plate is facing away from the rack.

3 Slide the module into the required rack position.

4 The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its ﬂoor that are spaced

to accommodate the screws on the module’s lower edge. Ensure that the

screws correctly locate into the holes of the chosen slot. The rack securing

plate on the module should now be ﬂush with the front of the rack mount

chassis.

5 Use the supplied (pan-head) screws, in the top hole of the rack securing

plate to fasten the module to the rack.

Making standard connections

Connections to the Wizard MultiMedia Plus modules do

not need to follow the precise order given in this user guide

although it is recommended that you do not apply power to

the modules until all other connections have been made.

Note: Unless stated otherwise, all connection information

given here applies to all modules in the Wizard MultiMedia

Plus family.

Connections at the transmitter

To connect video and audio from the source PC system

1 Attach a video cable of suitable type and length (fully

shielded with 15 way male D-type connectors at both

ends, 2m or less) to the socket labelled

on the Wizard

MultiMedia Plus transmitter.

2 Attach the other end of the video cable to the

appropriate VGA video output socket on the source

PC system.

3 Attach a stereo audio cable (shielded with three way

3.5mm jack plugs at both ends) to the socket labelled

on the Wizard MultiMedia Plus transmitter.

4 Attach the other end of the stereo audio cable to the

appropriate audio output socket on the source PC

system.
