About this Manual

About the MTPX Switchers

This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and congure your Extron MTPX Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix Switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to connect the hardware, and then use the physical controls and the Matrix Switchers Control Program to optimize the video and audio output for the best quality.

The MTPX matrix switcher (gure 1-1) distributes signals that are compatible with the Extron MTP and VTT/VTR product lines. The matrix switcher routes a TP input signal to any combination of TP outputs. Depending on the MTP model, the routed TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video and either mono audio or transmitter-to-receiver RS-232 serial communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output congurations simultaneously.

Figure 1-1 — Typical MTPX Twisted Pair Matrix Switcher application

The receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and

remote power capabilities available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.

The MTPX matrix switcher is available in the following matrix sizes:

MTPX 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)•

MTPX 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)•

MTPX 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)•

MTPX 1632 (16 inputs by 32 outputs)•

MTPX 3216 (32 inputs by 16 outputs)•

MTPX 3232 (32 inputs by 32 outputs)•

The MTPX switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45 connectors.

For best results, use a cable length of at least 50' (15 m)

between the TP inputs and outputs and the transmitter and receiver.

Three or six (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD and 5-pole 3.5 mm direct insertion input connectors are available for direct RGB (VGA) and stereo audio inputs without an MTP transmitter.

One or two (depending on the matrix size) 15-pin HD output connectors are available for direct RGB (VGA) output to a video device without an MTP receiver.

The direct input and direct output 15-pin HD connectors

can also support HD-YUV video, YUV video, S-video, and composite video.

Four or eight (depending on the matrix size) 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw ports are available for direct mono audio outputs to an audio device without an MTP transmitter.

For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on

the TP inputs and outputs, the MTPX audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio models. See the MTP transmitter/ receiver to determine which MTP models you have.

The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via ieither of two serial ports using either Extron’s Windows

-based Matrix

Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™).

Twisted Pair (TP) Cable Transmission Distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter or to one of the matrix switcher’s local inputs. The table below species the recommended maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

The transmitters, receivers, and matrix switcher 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, 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 on the preceeding page

apply equally for a transmission line consisting of a single transmitter, the switcher, and receiver; and for a transmision line that encompass a transmission daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video is 350’ (100 m) with Pre-Peak off and 400’ (120 m) with Pre-Peak on whether the transmission line consists of the transmitter, switcher, and a single receiver or a transmitter, the switcher, and three daisychained receivers.

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

should be at least 50’ (15 m) from the switcher when the Pre-Peak feature 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.

N N

For any transmission distances above 350' (100 m), turn

on the transmitting device's (MTP transmitter or MTPX) prepeak function. See the MTP Transmitter/Receiver User's Manual and/or the Output Pre-Peaking SIS commands on page 4-4.

Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in these tables

have the same range speciﬁcations at 75 Hz.

The minimum TP cable length should be 50' (15m).

It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however,

image quality may be reduced.

The MTPX output can be extended by 50 feet (15 m) for

those outputs that have a Pre-Peak feature that is turned on.

Outputs

TP outputs — Connect up to 8, 16, or 32 (depending

on the matrix size) compatible MTP receivers to the Outputs RJ-45 connectors.

Local RGB (VGA) outputs — Connect one

or two RGBHV video displays to the Local Outputs (VGA) 15-pin HD female connectors.

N N

Local audio outputs — Connect audio devices, such as audio

ampliers or powered speakers to these four or eight 3.5 mm, Mono Audio (local audio) outputs 5-pole captive screw connectors to receive unamplied, mono line level audio.

These outputs are always outputs 1 and 2.

The video that is output on this (these) connector(s) is

converted from the tied proprietary TP input signal or the local (VGA) input.

This connector can also output HD component video,

component video, S-video, or composite video if that is the video format that was input.

If the video output is NTSC component video, S-video, or composite video, set the output to turn off sync stripping. See the Local video output sync polarity SIS commands on page 4-5.

Remote control

Remote port — If desired, connect a control system or computer

to the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422 port.

These outputs are always outputs 1 through 4 (matrix

sizes up to 1616) or outputs 1 through 8 (matrix sizes 1632 and larger), with the same inputs tied to them as to TP outputs 1 through 4 (8).

Each local output has a volume control. See "Viewing and

Adjusting the Audio Level” on page 3-8.

The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands that you can use for operation and conﬁguration. You can run these commands from a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports. See

Host-to-switcher instructions

The switcher accepts SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands through either serial port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command ﬁeld. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
