MTP 15HD A Series • Setup Guide
user guide, installation instructions, and
specifications before connecting the
product to the power source.
This card provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate any of the MTP VGA video and audio transmission
systems.
Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the MTP transmitter and up to eight receivers
as required.
Step 2 — Transmitter Inputs
• Connect a computer (VGA) video source to the Input connector.
• Connect a VGA monitor to the Monitor connector.
• Plug a 3.5 mm stereo audio plug into the audio jack.
Step 3 — TP Cables Between Units
• Terminate a TP cable as shown at right. Connect it between the transmitter’s Output port and
the receiver’s Input port.
NOTE: If the unit is labeled “C7,” only CAT 7 cable should be used.
• For daisy-chaining, connect up to eight TP cables between a receiver’s Buffered Output port
and a daisy-chained receiver’s Input port.
Step 4 — Receiver Outputs
• Connect a VGA monitor to the Output connector.
• Connect a mono audio device to the Mono Audio connector. Wire the connectors as shown
below.

Step 5 — Receiver DIP Switches
• H Sync and V. Sync switches — Set these switches up for positive sync or down for negative sync.
• Composite Sync, (SOG), and Video switches — Set these switches as shown in the table below to
output the indicated format.

Grounding guidelines
Extron MTP 15HD A products can be adversely affected by electrostatic discharge (ESD) if they

are not grounded correctly.
To prevent malfunctions or product damage, an experienced installer can correctly ground an
Extron MTP 15HD A product in either of two ways:
• Ground the power input port — Insert one end of the grounding wire to the negative or ground
pin on the power input connector (see image a on the right). Tie the other end of the wire to an
earth ground.

• Ground the chassis — Use a connector hex nut (see image b the right). Tie the other end of
the wire to an earth ground.
If you have any questions about how to ground a product in a specic application, contact an Extron technical
support specialist.
Step 7 — Pre-Peak, Peaking, and Level
• Transmitter Pre-Peak switch — View the image and set the Pre-Peaking switch for the best image
quality to correct for long cable runs of the entire system (including all daisy-chained receivers).
• Receiver Peaking control — View the image and adjust the Peaking control for the best image sharpness. Minimum
setting (full counterclockwise) is zero peaking.
LEVEL
• Receiver Level control — View the image and adjust the Level control for the best brightness level.
Step 8 — Skew Compensation (SEQ Receivers)
Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or by viewing a crosshatch test pattern. The SEQ receivers have built-in
skew compensation capabilities. Adjust the equalization as follows:
A. Zero the skew delay for red, green, and blue by using a small screwdriver to press and hold the Select button for
3 seconds. When the Red, Green, and Blue LEDs all go out, release the Select button.
B. Use UTP cable test equipment or examine the displayed image to determine which video signal — red, green, or
blue — is shifted furthest to the right.
SELECT
RED
GREEN
BLUE
C. Select the furthest left video signal by using a small screwdriver to press and release the Select button until the LED
for the left-shifted color — Red, Green, or Blue — lights.
D. Slowly rotate the Adjust control clockwise until the selected color is properly converged.
E. If the remaining colors are left-shifted, repeat steps C and D.
