About the MTP 15HD Decora® Receiver

The Extron MTP R 15HD RSA D is a mini twisted pair (MTP)
receiver, in a Decora form factor, that auto-detects between
audio or RS-232 serial data on the audio/RS-232 wire pair. The
receiver is compatible with the entire line of Extron MTP 15HD
transmitters and associated MTP products.

The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers comprise a system
for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution
video and either audio or RS-232 communications.

The MTPs transmit and receive over Extron’s Enhanced
Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or over CAT 5, 5e, or 6 shielded
twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil
shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

A compatible MTP transmitter inputs high or low resolution
video signals (RGB, tri-level and bi-level component video,
S-video, or composite video) and a wire pair that is either
RS-232 serial signals or stereo audio. If the audio/RS-232 input
is audio, the transmitter sums the left and right audio channels
to convert the audio to mono (L+R) format. The transmitter
converts the inputs to a proprietary signal and outputs that
signal on an RJ-45 connector.

The MTP receiver inputs the transmitted proprietary signal on
an RJ-45 connector, converts the video portion of the signal back
into its original resolution, and outputs it locally on a 15-pin HD
connector. Level and peaking controls allow you to enhance the
video output for optimum display.

The receiver also detects whether the input on the audio/
RS-232 wire pair is audio or serial data, converts it back to the
appropriate format, and outputs the signal on a 5-pin captive
screw connector.

The receiver is shipped with an external 12 V power supply
that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input and provides
worldwide power compatibility.

RS-232 function

When the audio/RS-232 portion of the TP link is RS-232, it is
either unidirectional or bidirectional, selectable by a DIP switch.

N

The RS-232 link:

• Supports software ow control (XON, XOFF).

N

• Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.

• Supports any baud rate (up to 38,400), data bits, parity,

N

By default, the RS-232 portion of the TP link is

unidirectional only from the transmitter to the receiver.
If there is only one receiver in the system, you can set
it to be bidirectional. When bidirectional is selected,
the receiver can receive commands from the transmitter
and pass RS-232 responses back to the transmitter. See
the BI-RS232 DIP switch description in "Rear panel
features", on page 2-7, to allow bidirectional RS-232
communications.

Hardware flow control is not supported.

stop bits, and data format without conguration.

Higher rates are possible, but performance varies as a

function of baud rate and TP cable length.

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more exible, and
less expensive than coaxial cable. These TP products make cable
runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable
with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

N

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and
resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The
table on the next page species the recommended maximum
transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch
positions (refer to the applicable transmitter manual) using
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e,
or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

N

VGA video transmitters provide pre-peaking, which

boosts the signal before it is transmitted.

It is possible to exceed the recommended distance;

however, image quality may be reduced.

N

Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in the table on

the next page have the same range specifications at 75 Hz.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

W

C

N

Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect

voltage polarity can damage the power supply and
the MTP. Identify the power cord negative lead by
the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 2-5).

The two power cord wires must be kept separate

while the power supply is plugged in. Remove
power before wiring.

The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires

is important. The ideal length is 3/16" (5 mm).
Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires
are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors
and could be pulled out.

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them

in the direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.

TP cable termination

N

RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or

CAT 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or
TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.

RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must
comply with TIA/EIA T568A only.

Figure 2-6,
termination of TP cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance

on the next page, details the recommended

with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards.
You can use either standard with CAT 5/5e/6/7 cable, but
ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable.

The audio data that may be carried on wire pair 3 and 6

is incompatible with the Extron TPX 88A, which cannot
switch the audio, output it locally, or break it away.

Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable is not recommended

for Ethernet/LAN applications. This cable is specially
designed for compatibility with Extron’s Twisted Pair
products that are wired using the TIA/EIA T568A
standard.

The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable
have virtually identical lengths and should be used to
transmit the RGB signals.

The orange wire pair of this cable has a different length
and should not be used to transmit the RGB signals.

The length of the exposed (stripped) portion of

the copper wires is important. The ideal length
is 3/16” (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short
together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the
direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

Receiver Considerations

N
N

Each transmitter in a system requires a separate receiver.

Up to seven standard receivers (MTP RL 15HD RS

and MTP RL 15HD A, with or without SEQ) can be
connected in series between the transmitter and the MTP
R 15HD RSA D. This daisy chain is accomplished using
the standard receivers' Buffered Output connectors.
The total distance from the transmitter’s TP output
to the last receiver in the chain should not exceed the
recommended distance for the resolution being used.

N

For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain

must be at least 100’ from the transmitter when the
Pre-Peak switch is on.

N

For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer

than 350’ may experience some form of over-peaking
when the Pre-Peak switch is on.

Skew Delay Compensation

CAT 5/5e/6 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the
red, green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured
with test equipment or identied 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.

Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair
skew:

• Switch to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable.

• Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of

pair skew to the receiver’s output.

• Install an SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer on the receiver’s

video output and adjust the skew for the leading video
image.

N

The receivers' buffered outputs do not provide

pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance
for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single
transmitter and receiver. The transmitter's Pre-Peak
switch has the same effect on the recommended
transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single
transmitter and receiver.

N

See the recommended transmission ranges in the table

on page 1-4. The recommendations in the table apply
equally for a single transmitter and receiver and for a
transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum
suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 300’ with
Pre-Peak off and 500’ with Pre-Peak on for either one
transmitter and one receiver or one transmitter and three
daisy-chained receivers.
