About the MTPX Switchers

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.

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.
N
Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in these tables
have the same range specifications at 75 Hz.
N
The minimum TP cable length should be 50' (15m).
N
It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however,
image quality may be reduced.
N
The MTPX output can be extended by 50 feet (15 m) for
those outputs that have a Pre-Peak feature that is turned on.
N
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.
N
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 daisy-
chained receivers.
N
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.
N
For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer
than 350’ (105 m) may experience some form of over-
peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
