Introduction
This setup guide allows you to easily and quickly set up and configure your Extron MTPX Plus Twisted Pair (TP) Matrix Switcher. Step by step instructions show you how to connect the hardware and then use the physical controls, Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, the Matrix Switchers Control Program, and built-in HTML pages to optimize the video and audio output for the best quality.
The MTPX Plus matrix switcher (figure 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 configurations simultaneously.

Figure 1-1 — Typical MTPX Plus application
NThe receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and remote power capabilities available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.
1-2 MTPX Pl us Series • Introduction
The switchers are available in the following matrix sizes:
•MTPX Plus 816 (8 inputs by 16 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 128 (12 inputs by 8 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 168 (16 inputs by 8 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 1616 (16 inputs by 16 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 1632 (16 inputs by 32 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 3216 (32 inputs by 16 outputs)
•MTPX Plus 3232 (32 inputs by 32 outputs)
The switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45 connectors.
NFor best results, use a cable length of at least 50 feet (15 m) between the TP inputs and outputs and the transmitter and receiver.
Three, four, 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.
NFor most switchers, the available local inputs parallel the TP input of the same number and either input can be used.
For the MTPX Plus 128, four inputs are local only and eight inputs are TP only.
Two, 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.
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.
NThe direct input and direct output connectors can also support HD-YUV video, YUV video, S-video, and composite video.
NFor low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs and outputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono audio models. See the MTP transmitter/receiver manual to determine which MTP models you have.
There are 4, 8, or 16 (depending on the matrix size) 3-pole 3.5 mm captive screw ports for bidirectional RS-232 signal
inserts. These signals, from a dedicated source (rather than from the selected input), can be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output.
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet LAN port, serial port, or USB port (MTPX Plus 128 only) connection using either the Windows®-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS).

CDo not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications network.
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter or to one of the local inputs of the matrix switcher. The table below specifies 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.

For any transmission distances beyond 350 feet (100 m), turn on the pre-peak function on the transmitting device (MTP transmitter or MTPX Plus) . See the MTP Transmitter/Receiver User’s Manual and/or the "Output pre-peaking SIS commands" on page 4-8.
NThe minimum TP cable length should be 25 feet (7.6 m).
NIt is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may be reduced.
NThe 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. Extron also recommends 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.
1-4 MTPX Pl us Series • Introduction
NThe recommendations shown on the preceding page apply equally for a transmission line consisting of a single transmitter, the switcher, and a receiver; and for a transmission line that encompasses a transmission
daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024 x 768 video output by the switcher is 550 feet (168 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.
NFor daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain should be at least 50 feet (15 m) from the switcher when the Pre-Peak feature is on.
NFor daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m) may experience some form of overpeaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
Skew exists between wire pairs when the physical length of one wire pair is different from another. Skew affects the displayed image when the difference in length between wire pairs exceeds 2 feet. The difference in length causes the timing of the red, green, and blue video signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal registration errors). The signals transmitted on the shortest pair are shifted to the left if you are using white lines on a black background. A white vertical line on a black field can appear as individual red, green, and blue lines that are close together; the signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair leads the other colors and appears to the left on the display. As the transmission cable length increases, the skew effect increases.
The MTPX Plus input and output skew equalizer functions provide separate time delay circuits on the red, green, and blue video lines. This allows you to properly align the red, green, and blue video signals on the displayed image. When correctly set, the red, green, or blue video signal on the shortest wire pair is delayed to properly converge the displayed video image.
UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair length. The report on the various pair lengths can be used to properly equalize pair skew. If UTP cable test measurement cannot be done, pair skew can still be equalized by viewing a crosshatch test pattern with a critical eye.

NThe MTPX Plus 816 and MTPX Plus 168 are housed in the same 2U enclosure as the MTPX Plus 1616, but have fewer TP input or output connectors to accommodate their smaller matrix sizes.
Inputs
CTurn off power to the input and output devices, and disconnect their power cords.
aTP inputs — Connect up to 8, 16, or 32 (depending on the matrix size) compatible TP inputs to the Inputs RJ-45 connectors.
|
N Configure the switcher for the appropriate input (RS-232 |
|
or audio) for each TP input. See "Defining the Audio/ |
|
RS-232 Wire Pair (and Configuring the Remote Port)" on |
|
page 3-6. |
