About the TP Transmitters
Extron’s Twisted Pair (TP) transmitters provide long-distance
distribution of RGB video, component video, S-video,
composite video, and stereo audio over Extron’s Skew-Free™
A/V UTP cable or standard Category (CAT) 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP), shielded twisted pair (STP), or foil shielded
twisted pair (FTP) cable.
The minimum reliable transmission distance to all receivers,
with the exception of the TP R 15HD A, is 50 feet (15.2 meters).
There is no minimum distance for transmission to the
TP R 15HD A. The maximum distance is determined by the
output frequency and resolution. The following table specifies
the recommended maximum transmission distances using
Extron Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable,
terminated with CAT 6, or at least CAT 5e, rated connectors.
Extron recommends using the highest quality cable
available and affordable. We also recommend the use of
pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on
site should be tested before use to ensure that they
comply with Category 5e specifications.

2
Disconnect power from all of the equipment, including the
video source(s) (such as computers or DVD players), the
transmitter, the receiver, and the output display(s).
For component, S-video, or composite video, reconfigure
the jumpers (TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and TP T BNC
DA4) or DIP switch (TP T 468). See “Video jumpers” or
Video DIP switch,” later in this chapter.
Installation and service must be performed by
authorized personnel only. The TP T 468 must be
used with a UL approved electrical box.
Connect power cords to the TP receiver, the TP
8

3
jumpers to make the transmitter compatible with
unmodified TP receivers. See “Audio jumpers,” later in
this chapter.
The TP T 15HD AV is a redesigned (modified)
transmitter. The audio jumpers configure the audio
portion of the composite video TP link to work with the
similarly redesigned TP R BNC AV receiver or with
older, unmodified receivers. Redesigned transmitters
and receivers have an identifying label.
Mount the transmitter in a rack, under a desk or podium,
4
in a desk or table (TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, or
TP T BNC DA4) or in a wall (TP T 468). See “Mounting
the TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, or TP T BNC DA4” or
“Installing the TP T 468,” later in this chapter.
Connect the input cables. See “Input cabling,” later in this
5
chapter.

Audio jumpers
The audio that is associated with the composite video link of
TP T 15HD AV transmitters is transmitted on wire pair 3 and 6.
This configuration is compatible with redesigned TP receivers
and the TPX 88 A.
If you intend to match this transmitter with an older,
unmodified TP receiver, and do not plan to include a TPX 88 A
in your system, you can set the transmitter to send the audio on
wire pair 7 and 8, to be compatible with an older TP receiver, by
shifting internal jumpers as follows:
switch to On.
Older (unmodified) transmitters and receivers are fully
compatible with each other but not with the TPX 88 A
twisted pair matrix switcher.
Redesigned (modified) transmitters and receivers are
fully compatible with each other and with the TPX 88 A.
They can also be jumpered to be compatible with the
older (unmodified) receivers and transmitters but not

UL rack mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines
pertain to the safe installation of the equipment in a rack.
1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the
equipment is 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 equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma = +113 °F, +45 °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. Also consider equipment nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
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).
Rack mounting procedure
To mount the transmitter on a 9.5" deep rack shelf,
1.If rubber feet were previously attached to the bottom of
the unit, remove them.
2.Fit the RSM 100 mounting bracket around the transmitter
and attach it to the unit using one mounting hole on each
end.
3.Mount the bracket containing the unit onto the rack shelf,
using two 4-40 x 3/16" screws in the two mounting holes
in the bottom of the bracket to secure it.
4.Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) on the rack shelf as
desired.

3.This unit must be installed with conduit in accordance
with the National Electrical Code.
Euro Channel models
The TP T 468 is available in a Euro Channel (EC) version (see
appendix A for part numbers).
The front and rear panel features, cabling requirements, and
testing/troubleshooting procedures are identical to the
descriptions shown in chapter 2, Installation and Operation, for
the non-EC models. See Euro Channel transmitter installation in
this appendix for the EC transmitter model installation
instructions.
Preparing the site and installing the mud ring or wall box
The TP T 468 is mounted into a wall or furniture. Follow the
instructions appropriate to the mounting option you have
selected. Templates for optional faceplates are not included in
this manual.
CAUTION
The transmitter must be installed into an
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approved electrical
wall box.
Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference.
Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You
may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or
conduits before installing the transmitter.
The installation must conform to national and local electrical
codes and to the equipment’s size requirements. An actual-size
cut-out template is provided in appendix A of this manual.
Installation using a UL listed wall box (available from Extron) is
recommended for most mounting options, but the included
mud rings can be used instead. All wall boxes must be at least
2.5" (6.4 cm) deep.
Before using the mud rings, verify that the installation
conforms to national and local electrical codes.
1.Select and cut out the appropriate template for your
installation type:
•If you are using a mud ring, use the template
provided with the mud ring. Cut out the indicated
center portion.
•If you are using a wall box, cut out or make a 100%
size photocopy of the template in appendix A that
corresponds to the faceplate you are using, and cut
out the center portion as indicated on the template.
2.Place the template (or the wall box or mud ring) against
the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the
opening on the wall or furniture.
3.Cut out the wall or furniture material from the marked
area.
4.Check the opening size by inserting the wall box, mud
ring, or transmitter into the opening. The box or mud ring
(if used) and/or transmitter should fit easily into the
opening. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if
needed.

The AAPs, switches, and cable are inaccessible after
installation.
Mounting the AAP devices
The TP T 468 faceplates accept up to four optional single height
Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs). The adapter plates
allow for a variety of connectors.
Blank plates (two single-space and one double-space plate) are
included on the transmitter to cover unused spaces. Adapter
plates must be ordered separately. They also must be attached
to the faceplate and cabled before the interface is installed in the
wall or furniture (figure 2-10). The screws needed for installing
the adapter plates are built into the plates, so no additional
screws are needed.
1.Remove the blank plates from the interface by unscrewing
the nuts that fasten the plates to the faceplate.
2.Insert the adapter plate screws through the holes in the
faceplate. Attach the adapter plates to the faceplate with
the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts.

Grounding the transmitter
RGB and computer video transmitters may need to be grounded
to ensure that the video and audio are not degraded. The
TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, and TP T 468 may require
grounding if all of the following conditions are true:
•The signal source is a laptop computer.
•No local monitor is connected.
•A local power supply is not being used.
Grounding may also be required if there is no common ground
in the power distribution system.
Indications that grounding may be required include:
•The receiver’s Power LED is lit amber when a connection
is made to the transmitter.
•The receiver is in auto mode and its Manual/Auto LED
flashes.
•The receiver is in manual mode and an image appears
only when the Peaking adjustment is at the minimum

Cable testing
To ensure proper cable termination, each transmission cable
system that uses CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable should be tested
(Extron’s Skew-Free UTP cable does not need to be tested).
Testing the cable from the RJ-45 connections at the transmitter
and receiver gives the most accurate indications of cable
problems.
There are two varieties of cable runs: simple runs, in which a
single cable is terminated only at the transmitter and receiver,
and complex runs, which can include patch bays and multiple
terminations and lengths of cable. In either case, the entire
cabling system should be tested.
A complete test measures cable length and tests the wire map,
attenuation, NEXT, PSNEXT, ELFEXT, PSELFEXT, return loss,
ACR and PSACR. All of these tests are critical for digital data
transfer. While all of these tests are important indicators of the
quality of the cable termination, the most critical testing
parameters for video transfer are wire map (T-568-A
termination) and pair length measurements. The largest
concern is equalization of skew between cable pairs. Cable
systems of 300' (91.4 m) or less should exhibit no transmission
problems if they pass at least CAT 5e or preferably CAT 6-D5
channel certification testing.

The Microtest OMNI SCANNER 2 performs comprehensive
certification testing to the CAT 6 standards. Other
manufacturers also make testing equipment. The tests include
advanced diagnostics for troubleshooting the cause and location
of many cable and termination problems. For simple
installation testing, the Microtest MICRO SCANNER PRO tests
wire map and cable length, including individual cable pair
length.
Equalizing pair skew
The manufacturing process for network (CAT 5e) UTP cable
leads to a condition called pair skew. For best results, pair skew
needs to be equalized when using the CAT 5e cable in A/V
applications. The design of Extron’s Skew-Free A/V UTP cable
minimizes pair skew to the point that equalization is not
required.
Skew exists between pairs when the physical length of one wire
pair is different from another. As the transmission cable length
increases, the amount of skew increases. Skew affects the
displayed image when the differential length between wire
pairs exceeds 2' (61 cm), causing the timing of the red, green,
and blue video signals to appear out of alignment (horizontal
registration errors). 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.
UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair
length. The report on the various pair lengths can be used in
equalizing pair skew. The nominal velocity of propagation
(NVP — the speed at which the signal travels on the
transmission line, measured as a percentage of the speed of
light) of TP cable is very close to that of conventional coaxial
cable. The similarity in NVP means that an additional length of
coax equal to the length of pair skew, placed on the receiver’s
output, equalizes the effects of pair skew (figure 2-20).

Figure 2-20 — Pair skew equalization
If UTP cable test measurement cannot be done, pair skew can
still be equalized by viewing a test pattern with a critical eye.
Examine the test pattern for loss of horizontal registration and,
through a process of trial and error, equalize any pair skew with
coax extensions on the red, green, and/or blue outputs.
Extron skew compensation coax cables are available in lengths
of 2 through 20 feet (61 cm through 6.1 meters). See appendix A
for part numbers.

of the transmitter.
Do not remove these faceplate screws while the
transmitter is attached to the wall or the detached
transmitter circuit board may fall down inside the wall.
Opening for Architectural Adapter Plates — The TP T 468 can
14
have up to four optional adapter plates attached here at one
time. The adapter plates allow for a variety of connectors.
Blank plates (two single-space and one double-space plate) are
included on the transmitter to cover unused spaces. Adapter
plates must be ordered separately. They also must be attached
to the faceplate and cabled before the interface is installed in the
wall or furniture. See “Mounting the AAP devices,” earlier in
this chapter.
Front Panel Control and Indicators
All of the transmitters have front panel Power indicators. In
addition, the TP T 15HD A and TP T 15HD AV have horizontal
shift control.

front panel knob adjusts the side-to-side image placement.
The H. Shift control is a 12-turn potentiometer with a soft
mechanical stop at the high or low end. When you have
reached the high or low end of the adjustment, the
potentiometer makes a clicking sound as you turn it, and no
change is apparent on the display.

Troubleshooting
If the image does not appear
1.Ensure that all devices are receiving power. The
transmitter’s and receiver’s front panel Power LEDs
indicate that they are receiving power.
2.Ensure that the transmitter is receiving a video input.
3.Ensure that the TP cable(s) are properly terminated in
accordance with TIA/EIA T 568A standards and that the
RJ-45 connections are securely made. If the Power LEDs
on the transmitter and the receiver are lit green, a
transmitter is properly connected to a receiver.
4.For computer/RGB video, ensure that the receiver’s SOG
and C Sync switches are in the correct positions for the
video output.
5.For computer video, ensure that the transmitter’s ID bit
switches are on.
6.For computer video on an LCD projector, ensure that the
transmitter’s DDSP switch is on.
7.The transmission distance may be too far for remote
power. Try connecting the local 15 VDC power supply to
the transmitter.
8.The transmission distance may be too short. Ensure that
the UTP cable is at least 50' (15.2 m) long.
9.If the Manual/Auto switch is in the manual position,
ensure that the receiver’s level controls are not set too
high. Too much level and peaking can cause display
problems.
10.For computer video from a laptop or for ungrounded AC
distribution systems, the transmitter may need to be
grounded. See “Grounding the transmitter,” earlier in this
chapter.
11.Call the Extron S
necessary.

Sales & Technical Support Hotline if
If the image is not displayed correctly
1.For computer/RGB video, if the output image looks too
green, ensure that the receiver’s SOG switch is off.
2.For computer video, if the picture hangs off the edge of the
screen, adjust the transmitter’s H Shift control.
DDSP disables the horizontal shift control.
3.Place the receiver’s Manual/Auto switch to manual and
adjust the level and peaking controls for optimum quality.
4.The transmission distance may be too far for remote
power. Try connecting the local 15VDC power supply to
the transmitter.
5.For computer video from a laptop or for ungrounded AC
distribution systems, the transmitter may need to be
grounded. See “Grounding the transmitter,” earlier in this
chapter.
6.If the image still does not display properly, call the Extron
3
Sales & Technical Support Hotline. (See the rear cover
S
of this manual for the phone number for your region of the
world.)
If the receiver’s Manual/Auto LED flashes
1.The transmission distance may be too far for remote power.
Connect the local 15VDC power supply to the transmitter.
2.Check the RJ-45 connector for a loose connection.
