Introduction
MTPX Seri eS
The Extron MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers
offer an innovative new feature set to simplify the complexity
of a twisted pair A/V system. Local video and audio inputs
and outputs enable direct connection of equipment that
is located within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix. This
greatly simplifies system complexity by eliminating additional
MTP transmitters and receivers. 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, and output volume control for the
local outputs.
When paired with Extron MTP U Series Universal Mini Twisted
Pair Receivers, MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers
allow composite video, S-video, 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.
The powerful feature set in the
MTPX 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. MTPX Series matrix switchers
are ideal for command and control centers, classroom
buildings, auditoriums, large entertainment venues, and
other video, audio, and control signal routing applications.
Local Video and Audio Inputs and Outputs
In traditional twisted pair matrix switching, each local source
requires a transmitter, and any local display, such as a
rack-mounted monitor, requires a receiver. Integrating local
devices uses up valuable UTP inputs and outputs on the
matrix switcher and adds to the overall cost of the system.
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 need for additional
MTP Series transmitters and receivers.
Local Video and Audio Inputs: Each model features either
three or six local inputs, depending on size, for high
resolution video and stereo audio via 15-pin HD connectors
and captive screw connectors. Each local input functions
as a separate transmitter, converting the incoming analog
signals to an Extron proprietary signal for distribution
through the matrix to an MTP Series receiver.
Local Video Outputs: Smaller size MTPX and MTPX Plus
models include one high resolution video output and
larger sizes include two. These outputs are on 15-pin HD
connectors and follow the UTP outputs. They are ideal for
sending signals to a cueing monitor or videoconferencing
system in the equipment rack.
Local Audio Outputs: These captive screw connectors
output balanced or unbalanced line level mono audio. Each
connector offers two identical mono audio outputs. There
are either four or eight local audio outputs on each model,
depending on size, providing the ability to route audio
signals to a rack-mounted amplifier or audio processor.
Video Output Pre-Peaking
In the MTPX Series, 25% of the UTP outputs feature
switchable pre-peaking for optimizing the video signal
when needed. For example, the MTPX 816 features four
UTP outputs with pre-peaking capability, while on the
MTPX 3232, eight of the UTP outputs feature pre-peaking
capability. The pre-peaking circuit provides additional
compensation, which optimizes the output video signals for
longer cable runs.
Front Panel and Serial Control
All six MTPX Series models ship standard with the exclusive
QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller, as well as
RS-232/422 capability. The QS-FPC provides touch-of-a-
button input and output selection directly from the front
panel. With an individual button for each input and output,
it is easy to configure, view, recall, and cancel I/O ties and
presets, simplifying operation and saving time and effort
during installation.

SIX I/O SIZES
MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers are available in six fixed I/O sizes from 8x16 to 32x32. Each model is compatible with Extron MTP Series
transmitters and receivers, including the MTP U Series Universal Mini Twisted Pair receivers. They are capable of routing video signals, along with audio or
RS-232 control signals. All six models feature local inputs and outputs for high resolution video and audio, audio input gain/attenuation adjustment, and audio
output volume control on each local audio output.
