NOTES: • The transmitters are for use with, and perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5 cables are acceptable but less preferable. We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.
About the MTP T 15HD A D The MTP T 15HD A D Twisted Pair Transmitter is a wall or furniture mountable version of the MTP T 15HD A that fits any Decora® style wall plate. AUDIO IN COMPUTER IN Figure 3. MTP T 15HD A D Face About the MTP T 15HD A AAP The MTP T 15HD A AAP Twisted Pair Transmitter can be mounted in any Extron product that accepts a double space AAP, such as the AAP 102.

Installation This section provides information on: • Installing the MTP T 15HD A WM and MTP T 15HD A D • Installing the MTP T 15HD A AAP • Connections and Settings • Power Supply Wiring and Grounding • Twisted Pair Cable Termination • EDID Minder Configuration Installing the MTP T 15HD A WM and MTP T 15HD A D The MTP T 15HD A WM and MTP T 15HD A D can be installed in a one-gang electrical wall box, with the MTP T 15HD A D fitting into a Decora wall plate cover (supplied).
5. With the power supply disconnected, feed cables for the output devices through the opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief. 6. Trim back, insulate, or do both to exposed cable shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance of short circuits. a. To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. b.
Final Installation After testing and making any adjustments, turn off the power supply and carefully insert the wall box or mud ring into the opening. Attach it with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface (see figure 6). NOTES: • If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the wood.
Installing the MTP T 15HD A AAP The MTP T 15HD A AAP must be attached to a device faceplate or AAP wall plate and cabled before the device or wall plate is pretested or installed in a wall or furniture. 1. Before attaching any cables, insert the standoffs of the MTP T 15HD A AAP through the holes in the faceplate or AAP wall plate of the device. 2. Using the provided #4-40 nuts and captive washers, secure the AAP to the faceplate or wall plate. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to mount any other AAPs.

EDID Minder Configuration The MTP T 15HD A D unit supports emulation of factory-installed EDID information through EDID Minder. To use factory-installed EDID information: 1. If you have not already done so, connect the source device to the MTP 15HD transmitter. Do not power on the source device at this time. 2. Set the rear panel DIP switch (see d on page 11) to the required frequency (50 or 60 Hz).
