Introduction, cont’d MTP SW6 2 Chapter Two Installation and Operation Mounting the Switcher Connectors and Settings Operation Optimizing the Video 1-6 MTP SW6 • Introduction
Installation and Operation Mounting the Switcher The MTP SW6 can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf, or mounted under a desk, podium, or tabletop. Rack shelf mounting instructions 1. Remove feet from the bottom of the MTP SW6 if installed. 2. Tabletop use Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the switcher. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 1U Universal Rack Shelf Furniture mounting For furniture mounting, do not attach the rubber feet. Furniture mount the switcher using the optional MBU 125 under desk mounting kit (part #70-077-01) as follows: 1. Remove feet from the bottom of the MTP SW6 if installed. 2. Attach the furniture mounting brackets to the switcher with the four machine screws supplied with the mounting kit (figure 2-3). Figure 2-2 — Mounting the MTP SW6 on a 1U, 9.

Installation and Operation, cont’d f Mono Audio (local audio) output — Connect an audio device, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector. This connector outputs the selected unamplified, mono line level audio. See figure 2-6 to properly wire the output connector. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector.

Installation and Operation, cont’d Receiver considerations The receivers' buffered outputs do not provide pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The transmitter's Pre-Peak switch has the same affect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single transmitter and receiver. N See the recommended transmission ranges in the table on page 1-5.
Installation and Operation, cont’d h Delay Adjust (skew adjustment) control — This control delays the selected red, green, or blue video signal by up to 62 nanoseconds. The delay is applied in incremental, 2-nanosecond, steps. Rotate the control counterclockwise to reduce the delay or clockwise to increase the delay. The control’s movement is smooth; it does not have mechanical steps or high- and low-limit stops.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Optimizing the Video Most MTP transmitters and the MTP SW6 output have a prepeaking feature. Set these features as follows for the best image quality: 1. 2. For inputs from MTP T 15HD products only — If the cable between the MTP transmitter and the MTP SW6 is > 300', turn the transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch on. For shorter cables, turn the switch off. For the output — If the cable between the MTP SW6 and the receiver is > 300', turn the switcher’s Pre-Peak switch on.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 4. Adjust the leftmost video signal as follows: N The switcher cannot shift the rightmost video image to the left. a. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the Delay Select button until the LED lights for the left-shifted color — Delay Red, Green, or Blue. b. Slowly rotate the Delay Adjust control clockwise while monitoring the display. Observe that the leftmost color shifts rightward one step at a time.
Remote Control The switcher can be remotely controlled via its rear panel Remote connector (Figure 3-1).
Remote Control, cont’d Unit-initiated messages When a local event, such as a front panel operation, auto switch, or error condition, occurs, the unit responds by sending a message to the host. The unit-initiated messages are listed below: (c)Copyright 2008, Extron Electronics "MTP SW6", x.xx]] The connected unit issues the appropriate copyright message (above) when it first powers on. x.xx is the firmware version number.

Remote Control, cont’d 3-14 The Windows-based Extron Universal Switcher Control Program, which communicates with the switcher via the Remote port, provides an easy way to configure and operate the MTP SW6 switcher. The program is compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP or higher versions. The factory-installed controller firmware version is 1.23 (sample value only). Installing the software The program is contained on the Extron Software Products CD-ROM, disk B. Install the software as follows: 1.
Remote Control, cont’d 4. Follow the on-screen instructions. By default, the installation of the Universal Switchers Control Program creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\UniversalSwitcher, and it places four icons into a group folder named “Extron Electronics\Universal Switcher.” The four installed icons are: • To set up for audio follow switching (the output has the same audio and video input selected), select the Audio and Video check boxes.
Remote Control, cont’d Contact Closure Remote Control The Remote connector also provides a way to select an input to the switcher using a remote contact closure device. Contact closure control uses pins on the Remote connector that are not used by the RS-232 interface. Figure 3-5 shows the contact closure pin assignments.
