Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron TPS150 audio/video Twisted Pair (TP) switching and transmission system.

• Chapter 1 identifies the transmitter’s and receiver’s features.

• Chapter 2 details how to install the transmitter and receiver.

• Chapter 3 describes how to operate the transmitter and receiver from their front panels and use all of their features.

• Chapter 4 provides information about programming and operating the switcher under RS-232 control, such as from a PC or host controller. You can control the switcher using Extron’s TPS150 serial command set or the ICS100 control program.

• Appendix A lists the transmitter’s and receiver’s specifications and pertinent part numbers.

About the Transmission System

The TPS150 consists of two components (figure 1-1):

• The TPT150 AV switcher/TP transmitter (referred to in this manual as the “switching transmitter” or the “transmitter”)

• The TPR150 TP video receiver (referred to in this manual as the “receiver”)

The transmitter and receiver form a switching and long distance transmission system. The TPS150 system sends high resolution RGB video (such as VGA video), low resolution video, and RS-232 control signals to a projector, plasma display, or other display over a single Category (CAT) 5/5e/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable. The system includes cable compensation and skew control technology that allow you to use these standard network cables.

The TPS150 will work with either shielded or unshielded cables. However, to comply with FCC rules, shielded (STP or FTP) cables must be used.

About the TPT150 switching transmitter

The TPT150 transmitter accepts and switches between the following four video inputs:

• Input 1 and input 2 — High resolution video (such as VGA) on 15-pin HD connectors. Input 1 includes a buffered local monitor loop-through connector.

• Input 3 and input 4 — For each input, one only of the following three video formats:

 Component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) on three female RCA connectors  S-video on one 4-pin mini DIN connector  Composite video on one female RCA connector

Each input also accepts an unbalanced line level stereo audio signal on left and right RCA connectors. The level of each audio input is individually adjustable to ensure that there is no noticeable volume difference when switching among sources.

The switching transmitter outputs the selected input audio as balanced or unbalanced line level audio on a 5-pin 3.5 mm captive screw connector. The output can also be muted.

TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Introduction1-2

The audio for the selected input is output locally. It is not sent to the receiver.

Extron T

T R

The TPT150 has an RS-232 port that accepts ICS100 program control from a connected computer or serial command control from a computer or control system. The transmitter can also store serial commands that are entered by the operator. The transmitter sends the appropriate serial commands on the TP link to the receiver whenever an input button or the projector power button is pressed.

An optional CTP150CM control panel can be connected to a contact closure port on the TPT150. Using the CTP150CM, a remote operator can select inputs, power up and down a projector connected to the receiver, and increase and decrease the output volume.

Introduction, cont’d

TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. The TPT150 makes cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency and resolution. The following table specifies the recommended maximum transmission distances using CAT 5/5e/6 cable, terminated with the appropriate connectors.

Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz

Video format Maximum range

640 x 480 500 feet 800 x 600 500 feet 1024 x 768 500 feet 1280 x 1024 300 feet 1600 x 1200 250 feet

It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may be reduced.

We recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use.

Features

Four input A/V switcher — Accepts, switches, and transmits RGBHV, component

video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-video, composite video, and RS-232 serial content. Accepts and switches unbalanced line level stereo audio.

Buffered monitor output on input 1 — Provides for local monitor output on a

15-pin HD female VGA connector, enabling a signal to be easily monitored locally without the need for a separate distribution amplifier.

Universal projector control — The TPS150 provides universal projector control via

Mounting the Transmitter and Receiver

The TPS150 comes with rubber feet for the transmitter and receiver, a set of MTR102 rack ears for the transmitter, and a set of mounting brackets for the receiver.

Rack mounting the transmitter

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the transmitter into a rack (figure 2-1).

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-

unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the transmitter in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air

flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous

condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and

consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-

mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

If desired, rack mount the transmitter as follows:

1. Remove the rubber feet from the bottom of the transmitter.

2. Attach the 992546-2 rack mounting ears to the transmitter with the six

provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-1).

Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then describe selecting an input, issuing the projector power up and down commands, and adjusting the input level and output volume.

Power

Apply power to the transmitter by connecting the power cord to an AC source and toggling the AC power switch to the on ( connecting the power cord to an AC source.

When AC power is applied, the transmitter and receiver perform a self-test that flashes all of the transmitter’s front panel LEDs on and off once. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves the transmitter’s selected input LED, the Power LEDs, and the receiver’s High Frequency LED on.

The selected input, the audio input level and output volume, and the blank and mute on/off status are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the latest configuration is retrieved.

Input selection

Press the Input Select button on the transmitter for the desired input. When you select an input, the following occurs:

) position. Apply power to the receiver by

• The transmitter sends the video portion of the selected input to the receiver on the TP link. The receiver outputs the video on its appropriate Video Output connectors.

• If the operator has pre-programmed a serial command or data string for the selected input (such as a projector’s own input selection or video format command), the transmitter sends that serial string to the receiver on the TP link. The receiver then outputs the serial string on its RS-232 port. See chapter 4, “Serial Communications”, to specify the command to be sent.

• The transmitter outputs the audio portion of the selected input locally, on its own rear panel Output Audio port.

Projector power

The Projector Power control is typically used to remotely command the connected projector to power itself up or down. Command strings to be transmitted must be programmed in advance. The projector power timeout function (if enabled) automatically powers off the projector after a user-defined interval. See chapter 4, “Serial Communications”, to specify the commands to be sent and to set the timout function.

The receiver does not receive a confirmation from the projector that it is on or off. Rather, after the TPT150’s power is applied, the first serial string the transmitter sends to the receiver (which passes it to the projector) is the string that was programmed as the projector power on command. From that point, every time you push the button, the transmitter alternates between sending the power off command and the power on command. If the projector is powered on or off locally, the transmitter sends the wrong command the next time the Projector Power button is pressed.

TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Operation3-4

Press the Projector Power button on the transmitter to issue the projector on or off command. When you push the button, the following occurs:

• If no command has been transmitted since transmitter power was applied, or if the power off command was the last command transmitted:

 The transmitter sends the power on string to the receiver on the TP link.  The transmitter lights its Projector Power LED.  The transmitter starts its power off timout function (if enabled).  The receiver outputs the received serial string on its RS-232 port.

Some projectors use the same command for power on and power off. If the same code is specified for on and off, the Projector Power LED blinks for each button push.

• If the power on command was the last command transmitted:

 The transmitter sends the power off string to the receiver on the TP link.  The transmitter turns off its Projector Power LED.  The receiver outputs the received serial string on its RS-232 port.

The same sequence of events occurs when the projector power timeout function (if enabled) expires.

Troubleshooting

This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating the transmitter/receiver system, and it provides examples and descriptions for some image problems you may encounter.

The following tips may help you in troubleshooting.

• Some symptoms may resemble others, so you may want to look through all of the examples before attempting to solve the problem.

• Be prepared to backtrack in case the action taken does not solve the problem.

• It may help to keep notes and sketches in case the troubleshooting process gets lengthy. This will also give you something to discuss if you call for technical support.

• Try simplifying the system by eliminating components outside the system that may have introduced the problem or made it more complicated.

• For sync-related problems: Portable digital projectors are designed to operate close to the immediate video source (the receiver). Sync problems may result from using long cables or from improper termination. A sync adapter, such as Extron’s ASTA (active sync termination adapter), may help solve these problems.

• For LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays: In addition to the syncrelated information above, check the user’s manual that came with the projector for troubleshooting tips, as well as for settings and adjustments. Each manufacturer may have its own terms, so look for terms like “auto setup,” “auto sync,” “pixel phase,” and “tracking.”

General checks

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The transmitter and

receiver both have Power LEDs to indicate that power is applied.

2. Ensure that the input selected is active.

3. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

4. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

Once the transmitter is addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit is addressed, the TPS150 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed again.

The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed. The transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of 00, but it does not send responses. Broadcast addressing is for multiple units on a network serial line in half-duplex mode.

Command and response structure

Valid commands consist of a leading delimiter, one or more characters in a command code, and an ending delimiter. The transmitter’s response to an RS-232 command also consists of a leading delimiter, a command code, and an ending delimiter.

The transmitter’s leading delimiter code is always a left bracket ( [ ). The ending delimiter code is always a right bracket ( ] ).

Example: [CPp@] — where “[“ is the leading delimiter, “CPp@” is the command (reset the transmitter’s serial port to default values), and “]” is the ending delimiter.

Addressing the transmitter

The transmitter must be addressed before it will accept and respond to commands. The address packet ([CC##], where ## is the 2-digit address) routes setup information to a particular unit on a network and enables command responses. Once the transmitter is addressed, it can accept an unlimited number of commands. If a different unit is addressed, the TPT150 ignores subsequent commands until it is addressed again.

The factory-installed default address is 97, but this number can be changed. The transmitter can also take commands after receiving a broadcast address of 00, but it does not send responses. Broadcast is for multiple units in a network configuration in half duplex mode.

By definition, the display device connected to the receiver’s RS-232 port is assigned an address that is one larger than the transmitter’s (for example, 98 to the transmitter’s default 97). If you address the display, the transmitter passes the commands received directly through to the receiver’s RS-232 port, allowing you to control the display. The transmitter also passes responses on the receiver’s RS-232 port back to its own serial port.

4-11TPS150 Switching and Transmission System • Serial Communications

Serial Communications, cont’d

When the system is in Pass-Through mode [CC98], commands and responses are sent between the transmitter and receiver. If the system is not in Pass-Through mode, all of the receiver responses to the transmitter’s button commands are buffered until you return the system to mode, at which time the buffered responses are sent back to the controlling device. In this way, the controller can track the activity that has occurred.

After you are finished programming the transmitter, always terminate the session by sending an address packet to another unit with a different address. This prevents the transmitter from responding to commands meant for another unit.

Transmitter responses

When a command is valid, the transmitter performs the command and sends the following response:

[R0•{address}•{echo of the command sent}•] When a command is invalid, either because the command is not recognized or it

contains invalid parameters, the transmitter sends the following response: [R1•{address}•{echo of the command sent}•]

Using the command/response table

The command/response table begins on page 4-14. The command set is case sensitive and commands must be entered as shown. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII command.

Symbols, defined below, are used throughout the command/response table to represent variables in the command/response fields. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table.

Symbols

= Carriage return/line feed

• = Space

= Address number 00 – 97

The very first command that you send to the transmitter must be the connect, [CC

is the transmitter’s address. The transmitter will not accept other commands or respond until it has

been addressed. The very last command that you send to the transmitter should be the connect, [CC

is a different address. This prevents the transmitter from accepting and responding to commands

meant for other devices.

If you need to use the bracket delimiters in a stored ASCII command, you need to use the insert brackets feature. With this feature, one character replaces the left bracket ( [ ) and another character replaces the right bracket ( ] ). The default values are a single quote mark ( ‘ ) in place of the left bracket and a double quote ( “ ) in place of the right bracket. The TPT150 replaces the characters with the bracket delimiters in the stored ASCII or hex command string.

= Hex button code Similar to the ASCII button code, X7, with the addition of an ASCII-to-hex conversion

before the value is stored. For example, if you send the ASCII value 0F, the TPT150 converts it to the hex value 0F. When you press the button, the TPT150 sends 0F hex. Entries must be in pairs; use a leading 0 if necessary. Letters must be uppercase.
