Introduction This section gives an overview of the user guide. This section also describes the MTP 15HD A Series of transmitters and receivers. Covered topics are: •• About this Guide •• About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers •• Transmission Distance About this Guide This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for two families of Extron MTP transmitters and receivers.
About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers The Extron MTP T 15HD A transmitter and MTP RL 15HD A and MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video and audio. The MTPs are a part of the Extron compact line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters and receivers, and associated video accessories. High resolution video on a 15-pin HD connector as well as stereo audio on a 3.5 mm stereo jack is sent to the MTP transmitter.
Transmission Distance The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see figure 3, e on page 9) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable, STP201 cable, or CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

e EDID select rotary switch — The rotary switch is used to select specific pre-programmed or user-recorded EDID settings. Position 0 of this 16 position rotary switch is used to select the user recorded EDID. Position F passes the EDID from the display connected to the loop-out back to the input. Positions 1 through E select pre-programmed EDID resolutions. NOTE: The refresh rate of the pre-programmed EDID resolutions is selected using the first DIP switch (d).
k DIP switches (RL receivers only) — A 5-pole DIP switch is used to configure the features of the MTP receivers. •• Horizontal sync (H Sync +) switch — Set this switch On (up) for positive horizontal sync or Off (down) for negative sync. •• Vertical sync (V Sync +) switch — Set this switch On (up) for positive vertical sync or Off (down) for negative sync. NOTE: Most devices use negative sync for H Sync and V Sync.

Power Supply Wiring and Grounding Figure 8 shows how to wire and ground the connector. ATTENTION: • Potential damage to property. Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the transmitter or receiver. Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the side of the cord. • To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
ATTENTION: • Potential damage to property. This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked "Class 2" or "LPS", rated 12 VDC, maximum 1.0 A. Always use a power supply supplied or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
Twisted Pair Cable Termination Figure 9 details the recommended termination of twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable. Pins: 12345678 Pin Insert Twisted Pair Wires RJ-45 Connector Figure 9. TIA/EIA T 568 A Wire color TIA/EIA T 568 B Wire color Signal 1 White-green White-orange Red/V.
Skew Delay Compensation CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 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. NOTE: Unless the twisted pair cable is changed, the skew adjustment should need to be made only once, during installation.
EDID Configuration The MTP 15HD A transmitter can either record EDID from a display device, or a pre-programmed EDID can be selected using the rotary and DIP switches. Recording a Display EDID 1. Turn the rotary switch to position 0. NOTE: The vertical frequency DIP switch has no effect in this mode. 2. Connect the display device to the local monitor output connector. NOTE: The MTP 15HD transmitter should be supplying the necessary 5 VDC to power on the display.
