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

N

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.

N

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.

N

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.

N

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™).

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.
