Introduction • About this Guide • About the PowerCage™ MTP 15HD RSA Transmitters and Receivers • Features About this Guide This guide contains information about the following Extron® PowerCageMTP 15HD RSA modular board-designed twisted pair transmitters and receivers for the PowerCage Modular Power Enclosures: • PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA transmitter • PowerCage MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ receiver This guide includes instructions for an experienced installer to install, configure, and operate the equipment.
The transmitter board also features EDID emulation, whereby the correct refresh rate and resolution is applied to the incoming computer signal, ensuring a proper image output display. Two DIP switches on the board allows the user to set the refresh rate to 50 or 60 Hz (default is 60 Hz) using switch #1. The second switch controls the RS-232/audio setting. The resolution is selected by turning the 16-position rotary encoder to the desired setting. The default setting is 1024x768.
• PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA transmits high resolution video and mono audio or RS-232 signals 600 feet (185 meters) or more over a single twisted pair cable. оо Inputs: Female 15-pin HD connector for video, 5-pole captive screw connector for audio input, 3-pole captive screw connector for RS-232 communication. оо Output: Female RJ-45 connector оо EDID emulation — A selectable feature for specifying the rate of the incoming VGA signal, EDID emulation allows proper communication with the video source.
Installation and Operation This section describes the installation and operation of the PowerCage MTP T 15HD RSA and MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ, including: • Installing the Boards into the PowerCage Enclosure • Board Connections, LEDs, and Rear Panel Features • PowerCage Front Panel Port, Control, and Indicators • Board Setup and Operation Installing the Boards into the PowerCage Enclosure Up to 16 single slot or 8 dual slot input/output boards can be inserted into the PowerCage enclosure.
3. Carefully slide the board into the slot, aligning the two tabs on the lower front end of the board with the matching ports in the enclosure. Push the board firmly into place. Tighten the screws to secure the board in place. NOTE: Use a tool to fully tighten the screws after initial installation and subsequent removal and replacement of the boards.. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all boards needing installation.
NOTE: The receiver auto-detects whether the signal on the audio/RS-232 pair of the TP input is audio or RS-232. It then converts the signal content accordingly, and outputs the signals on the appropriate pins of this connector. Tx Rx Tx Rx RS-232 Device Do not tin the wires!

Board Setup and Operation On the MTP T 15HD RSA board there are two DIP switches (switch #1 is for refresh rate, switch #2 is for audio/RS-232), and a 16-position rotary encoder for EDID selection. The factory set defaults for these are: • DIP switch #1 is 60 Hz (down) • DIP switch #2 is audio (down) • EDID encoder is 1024x768 (position 2) On the MTP R 15HD RSA SEQ board there are four active DIP switches.
Changing the MTP T 15HD RSA Board Settings Change any of the four active DIP switches to the settings as shown in the table below.
2. Noting the color that is shifted furthest left, press the select button accordingly to select that color (see table above). The corresponding LED lights. 3. Viewing the image, slowly rotate the Adjust knob until the selected color converges with the color furthest right. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining color until all three colors are converged. For Level Adjustment. 1. Press the select button four times to enter the level function. The green LED blinks. 2.
