descr iPTion
The Extron MTPX Ser ies Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers offer an innovative feature set for
simplifying twisted pair A/V system integration. Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable
direct connection of equipment located within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix, eliminating
the need for additional MTP transmitters and receivers. Additional features include switchable
pre-peaking on a number of the outputs to drive signals long distances, audio input gain and
attenuation to balance audio levels, and output volume control for the local outputs.
When paired with Extron MTP U Series Universal Receivers, MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix
Switchers allow composite video, S-video, and VGA, along with audio or RS-232 control signals,
to be sent over a single CAT 5 cable and output on the appropriate connector at the display.
Using one cable for all signal types simplifies system wiring and uses only a single matrix
switcher output and MTP U Series receiver per display.
The powerful feature set in the MTPX Series Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers enables integrators to
greatly reduce installation time and costs associated with rack space, cabling, and installation,
when compared to traditional twisted pair matrix switching. MTPX Series matrix switchers are
ideal for command and control centers, classroom buildings, auditoriums, large entertainment
venues, and other video, audio, and control signal routing applications.
Local Video and Audio Inputs and Outputs
In traditional twisted pair matrix switching, each local source requires a transmitter, and any
local display, such as a rack-mounted monitor, requires a receiver. Integrating local devices
uses up valuable UTP inputs and outputs on the matrix switcher and adds to the overall cost
of the system.
Local video and audio inputs and outputs enable direct connection of equipment that is located
within the same rack as the MTPX Matrix Switcher. This greatly simplifies system complexity by
eliminating need for additional MTP Series transmitters and receivers.
Local Video and Audio Inputs: Each model features either three or six local inputs, depending
on size, for high resolution video and stereo audio via 15-pin HD connectors and captive
screw conn ectors. Each local input functions as a separate transmitter, conve rting the
incoming analog signals to an Extron proprietary signal for distribution through the matrix to
an MTP Series receiver. Output from these local inputs is compatible with MTP RL 15HD A,
MTP RL 15HD A SEQ, MTP U Series receivers and MTP AV Series.
Local Video Outputs: Smaller size MTPX and MTPX Plus models include one high resolution
video output and larger sizes include two. These outputs are on 15-pin HD connectors and follow
the UTP outputs. They are ideal for sending signals to a cueing monitor or videoconferencing
system in the equipment rack.
Local Audio Outputs: These captive screw connectors output balanced or unbalanced line level
mono audio. Each connector offers two identical mono audio outputs. There are either four or
eight local audio outputs on each model, depending on size, providing the ability to break away
audio for distribution to a rack-mounted amplifier or audio processor.
Video Output Pre-Peaking
In the MTPX Series, 25% of the UTP outputs feature switchable pre-peaking for optimizing
the video signal when needed. For example, the MTPX 816 features four UTP outputs with
pre-peaking capability, while on the MTPX 3232, eight of the UTP outputs feature pre-peaking
capability. The pre-peaking circuit provides additional compensation, which optimizes the output
video signals for longer cable runs.
Front Panel and Serial Control
All six MTPX Series models ship standard with the exclusive QS-FPC - QuickSwitch Front Panel
Controller, as well as RS-232/422 capability. The QS-FPC provides touch-of-a-button input
and output selection directly from the front panel. With an individual button for each input and
output, it is easy to configure, view, recall, and cancel I/O ties and presets, simplifying operation
and saving time and effort during installation.
