Introduction
This section gives an overview of the user guide. This section also describes the
MTP 15HD RS Series of transmitters and receivers. Topics that are covered include:
• About this Guide
• About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
• Transmission Distance
About this Guide
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for
Extron MTP transmitters and receivers that are compatible with:
• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ AV UTP cable
• Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or
foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
This guide details the installation and operation of the following products:
• MTP T 15HD RS twisted pair (TP) transmitter
• MTP RL 15HD RS receiver with loop-through
• MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with loop-through and skew equalization
In this guide:
• The term "transmitter" refers specifically to the MTP T 15HD RS transmitter.
• The term "receiver" refers to either of the receiver models — the MTP RL 15HD RS or
MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ.
• The term "SEQ receiver" refers specifically to the MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with
skew equalization capabilities.
About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron MTP T 15HD RS transmitter and MTP RL 15HD RS and MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ
receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video
and RS-232 serial communications.
The MTPs are a part of the Extron compact line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers,
transmitters, receivers, and associated video accessories.
High resolution video is sent to the MTP transmitter on a 15-pin HD connector. The
transmitter passes RS-232 serial data or control signals on a 3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw
connector. The transmitter converts the video and RS-232 signals to proprietary signals and
outputs them to the compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. The transmitter also
makes the input video available for local use on a 15-pin HD connector.
The transmitted proprietary signal is sent to the receiver on an RJ-45 connector and converts
the signal back into its high resolution video and serial data components. The receiver
outputs the video on a 15-pin HD connector. The serial communications are passed on a
3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw connector.
MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction 1
The RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link:
• Can be bidirectional in a one-receiver system; that is, the receiver can receive commands
from the transmitter and pass RS-232 responses to the transmitter.
NOTE: By default, the RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link is unidirectional only
from the transmitter to the receiver. Use the internal jumpers in the receiver
to enable bidirectional communication in a single-receiver system only
(see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5).
• Supports software flow control (XON, XOFF).
NOTE: Hardware flow control is not supported.
• Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.
• Supports any baud rate (up to 38,400), data bits, parity, stop bits, and data format
without configuration.
NOTE: Higher rates are possible, but performance will vary as a function of baud
rate and twisted pair cable length.
The receiver also buffers the proprietary input signal and sends it to another compatible MTP
receiver or to a daisy chain of receivers.
NOTES:
• The transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is transmitted.
The buffered output on the receiver does not provide any pre-peaking control. The
total recommended distance (see the table on page 4) for an entire daisy chain is the
same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The Pre-Peak switch on the transmitter
has the same effect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as
for a single transmitter and receiver.
• Up to eight receivers can be connected in series using the Buffered Output
connectors, provided that the total distance from the twisted pair output of the
transmitter to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended
distance for the resolution being used.
The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, or 6
cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.
NOTE: An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV
UTP cable is used.
Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 VDC power
supply that accepts 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.
Twisted Pair Cable Advantages
Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable.
Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction 2
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 item e on page 9)
using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with
RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES:
• The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA
T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 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.
• The recommendations shown in the table on page 4 apply for a single transmitter
and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for
1024 x 768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet
(150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter
and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.
• Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the
transmitter and the first receiver.
• For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least
100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
• For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may
experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
An overpeaked image may appear bloomed.
