®® VersaTools VersaTools MTP MTP 15HD 15HD A Series, A Series cont’d This manual documents two families of MTP transmitters and receivers: • MTP, compatible with Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable and Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. • MTP C7 [CAT 7, C7], compatible with CAT 7 cable only. In this manual, any reference to these products refers to either family, unless explicitly stated.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 V power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input. Twisted pair (TP) cable advantages Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d End Unit Receiver DIP Switch 4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. 5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Back of the rack mounting instructions The MTP can be mounted to the rear of a rack using the Extron MBB 100 VersaTools back of the rack mounting kit (part #70-367-01) (figure 3). The kit allows the product to be vertically mounted to the front or rear rack supports and facing either towards the front or the rear of the rack.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Mount the unit to the rack using the two included rack screws (figure 4). The MTP can be vertically mounted facing in either direction. 5. Remove the feet from the bottom of the MTP, if they are installed. 2. Attach the mounting brackets to the MTP with the provided machine screws. 3. For furniture mounting, hold the MTP with the attached brackets against the mounting surface. Mark the bracket screw hole locations on the mounting surface. 4.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Connections and Settings CAUTION 4 Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications network. Audio input connector — Plug a 3.5 mm stereo audio plug into this jack for unbalanced audio input. Wire the plug as shown in figure 7. Figure 7 shows a typical audio connector, which consists of a tip, ring, and sleeve. Transmitter 4 MTP T 15HD A PRE-PEAK POWER 12V .
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Receiver See the table on page 5 for recommended transmission ranges. The recommendations in the table apply equally for a single transmitter and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300' (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500’ (150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on for either one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d DIP switches Horizontal Sync switch (1) — Set this switch up for positive horizontal sync (or positive composite sync if the Composite Sync switch is on) or down for negative sync. H SYNC + V SYNC + C SYNC SOG VIDEO END UNIT 10 ON End Unit switch (6) — Set this switch up if either of the following is true: • The receiver being configured is the only receiver connected to the transmitter.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out. Side Pins: RJ-45 Connector 12345678 Pin Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector. Your transmitter/receiver pair may have shipped with a blue captive screw connector. This blue connector can be plugged into either a blue or an orange power receptacle.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Front Panel Controls and Indicators 3 Peaking control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a picture. Increased peaking can compensate for mid- and high-frequency detail loss from low bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables. The minimum setting (at the counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise limit) provides 100% peaking. Adjust this control to obtain the optimum picture sharpness.
VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d Skew Delay Compensation Non-SEQ receiver skew compensation Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair skew: CAT 5/5e/6/7 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the red, green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green, or blue video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video images.
