Introduction

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.

Recommended transmission ranges at 60 Hz to TP R 15HD A

Installation and Operation

Installation

CAUTION

Overview

To install and set up a TP transmitter and the associated TP receiver(s) for operation, perform the following steps:

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

transmitter, and turn on the video source(s) and the output display(s).

All TP transmitters include a 15 V external power supply. The transmitters also receive power from the associated Extron TP receiver(s) (with the exception of the TP R 15HD A) via the TP cable. Extron recommends using the local power supply; however, the power supply may not be necessary in some applications.

• The TP T 15HD A, TP T 15HD AV, TP T 468, and TP T BNC may not require a local power supply for cable lengths of 300' (91 m) or less.

• The TP T BNC DA4 and any transmitter connected to a TP R 15HD A always require the local power supply.

If you encounter problems, use the local power supply.

TP T 15HD AV only — If desired, configure the audio

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,

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

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 the TPX 88 A.

Redesigned (modified) transmitters and receivers have an identifying label.
