VersaTools® ®MTPMTP15HD15HDA Series,A Seriescont’d

This manual documents two families of MTP transmitters and receivers:

•MTP, compatible with Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable and Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

•MTP C7 [CAT 7, C7], compatible with CAT 7 cable only.

In this manual, any reference to these products refers to either family, unless explicitly stated.

For clarity and where applicable, in this manual, the

CAT 5/5e/6 versions are referred to as non-C7 MTPs.

About this Manual

This manual details the installation and operation of the following products:

•MTP T 15HD A twisted pair (TP) transmitter

•MTP RL 15HD A receiver with loop-through

•MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with loop-through and skew equalization

In this manual:

•The term “transmitter” refers specifically to the MTP T 15HD A transmitter.

•The term “receiver” refers to either of the receiver models — the MTP RL 15HD A or MTP RL 15HD A SEQ.

•The term “SEQ receiver” refers specifically to the MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with skew equalization capabilities.

About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers

The Extron MTP T 15HD A transmitter and MTP RL 15HD A and MTP RL 15HD A SEQ receivers are a system for longdistance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video and audio.

The non-C7 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.

The C7 MTPs transmit and receive over CAT 7 TP cable only.

The MTPs are a part of the Extron VersaTools® line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters and receivers, and associated video accessories.

2 VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series • Introductionstallation

The MTP transmitter inputs high resolution video on a 15-pin HD connector and stereo audio on a 3.5 mm stereo jack. The transmitter sums the left and right audio channels to convert the audio to mono (L+R) format. The MTP T then converts the input video and mono audio signals to proprietary signals and outputs them to the compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. A pre-peaking control allows you to boost the transmission distance of the proprietary signal. The transmitter also makes the input video available for local use on a 15-pin HD connector.

The receiver inputs the transmitted proprietary signal on an RJ-45 connector and converts the signal back into its high resolution video and mono audio components. The receiver outputs the video on a 15-pin HD connector and the two sets of identical mono audio signals on a single 3.5 mm captive screw connector.

The receiver also buffers the proprietary input signal and sends it to another compatible MTP receiver or to a daisy chain of receivers.

The transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is transmitted. The receiver’s buffered output does not provide any pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance (page 5) for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The transmitter’s Pre-Peak switch has the same affect 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 Buffered Output connectors, provided that the total distance from the transmitter’s TP output 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 (misconvergence) commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 TP cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.

An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable and non-C7 transmitter and receiver(s) are used.

VersaToools®®MTP15HDAASeries••IntroductionInstallation 3

VersaTools® MTP 15HD A Series, cont’d

Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 V power supply that accepts 100 to

240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input.

Twisted pair (TP) 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.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table below specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item 5 on page 13) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may be reduced.

The non-C7 transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable for the non C7 models, but less preferable. We also recommend the use of preterminated 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 the preceeding page 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' (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500’ (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.

For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least 100' (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch is on.

For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350' (105 m) may experience some form of overpeaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on. An overpeaked image may appear bloomed.
