MTPX Plus Series
MTP Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers with IP Link for RGBHV, Video, Audio, and RS-232
coMMo n FeATure s
• Six models in sizes from 8x16 to 32x32
•
Dynamic skew compensation — Adjustments are stored in memory for each input
and output, maintaining RGB color alignment at all times
•
Local RS-232 insertion ports — Eight or sixteen RS-232 input ports eliminate the
need for control system wiring to remote displays
•
Video level and peaking compensation on each input — Actively compensates for
input signal attenuation for various cable lengths, resulting in a brighter and sharper image
•
Switchable video pre-peaking on 50% of the outputs — Provides additional
compensation for optimal performance on the longest cable runs
•
Local high resolution video inputs and outputs — Accept input from local video
sources without the need for additional transmitters and receivers
•
Local audio inputs and outputs — Support stereo audio sources and output
unbalanced line level mono audio for processing, or distribution
•
Audio input gain and attenuation — Eliminates noticeable differences in volume when
switching between sources
•
Local audio output volume adjustment and muting — Eliminates the need for
preamplifiers in many A/V systems
•
IP Link Ethernet connectivity — Enables Web-based remote management, monitoring,
and control
•
Enhanced QS-FPC™ - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller — Individual input and
output buttons for simple, intuitive operation
•
Tri-color, backlit buttons accept custom window labels — Clear plastic backlit
buttons can be custom-labeled for easy identification. Buttons illuminate red, green, or
amber, depending on function, for ease-of-use in low-light environments
•
Compatible with Extron MTP Series products — Works with all MTP Series
transmitters and receivers, including the MTP U Series Universal Mini Twisted Pair Receivers
•
Front panel security lockout — Restricts access in unsecured environments
•
View I/O mode — Easily view which inputs and outputs are actively connected
•
Global presets — Allow you to set up I/O configurations and store them in memory for
future use
•
I/O grouping — Allows the matrix switcher to be virtually divided into smaller
sub-switchers
•
Rooming — All models can be programmed to group selected outputs into specific
"rooms," each with its own set of unique presets
•
RS-232 and RS-422 control — Enables switcher control and configuration via the
Extron Windows-based control program, or integration into a third-party control system.
Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic
ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming. The RS-232 and
RS-422 port also makes it easy to install firmware updates.
•
Front panel configuration port — For convenient configuration access after
installation is complete
•
Rack-mountable metal enclosure — All MTPX Plus Series twisted pair matrix
switchers are housed in either a 2U or 3U, full rack-width metal enclosure
•
Internal international supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal power supply
provides worldwide power compatibility
descr iPTion
The Extron MTPX Plus Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers represent the next generation of
twisted pair integration. Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable direct connection of
equipment that is located within the same rack as the MTPX Plus Matrix, greatly simplifying
system complexity by eliminating additional MTP transmitters and receivers. The MTPX Plus
Series also provides dynamic skew equalization on all inputs and outputs. This industr y
first innovation ensures that UTP cable skew is eliminated, no matter which combination of
input/output cable lengths are selected. Yet another innovative feature, local RS-232 insertion
ports, allows a control system located near the MTPX Plus to connect to and control remote
displays over the same UTP output cable that carries the A/V signal.
When paired with Extron MTP U Series Universal Receivers, MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix
Switchers allow composite video, S-video component, and VGA, along with audio or RS-232
control signals, to be sent over a single CAT 5 cable and output on the appropriate connector at
the display. Using one cable for all signal types simplifies system wiring and uses only a single
matrix switcher output and MTP U Series receiver per display.
Additional features include switchable pre-peaking on a number of the outputs to drive signals
long distances, audio input gain and attenuation to balance audio levels, output volume
control for the local outputs, and IP Link Ethernet connectivity. The powerful feature set in
the MTPX Plus Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers enables integrators to greatly reduce
installation time and costs associated with rack space, cabling, and installation, when compared
to traditional twisted pair matrix switching.
Local Video and Audio Inputs and Outputs
In addition to the UTP inputs and outputs, MTPX Plus Series matrix switchers include local
inputs and outputs for video and audio. Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable direct
connection of equipment that is located within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix Switcher.
This greatly simplifies system complexity by eliminating the need for additional MTP Series
transmitters and receivers. The result is significant cost savings on rack space, equipment,
cabling, and power requirements.
