Compatibilty with other Extron products

As a pair, the TP T 15HD 45 and TP T A 45 are compatible with
the following Extron receivers and matrix switchers:

• TP R 15HD A

• TP R BNC A, TP R BNC AV

• TPX 88A

As a stand-alone transmitter, the TP T 15HD 45 is compatible
with:

• VTR001, VTR001 AAP, and VTR001 MAAP (RGBHV/RGBS
only)

• TPX 88

Cable testing

To ensure proper cable termination, each transmission cable
system that uses CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable should be tested
(Extron Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable does not need to be
tested). Testing the cable from 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 or T-568-B
termination) and pair length measurements. The largest
concern is equalization of skew between cable pairs. Cable
systems of 300 feet 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 proposed 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.

Skew delay problems

CAT 5 TP cable can lead to registration errors between the red,
green, and blue video signals. Pair skew can be measured with
test equipment or identified by viewing a crosshatch test pattern
with a critical eye to determine if either the red, green, or blue
video image leads (appears to the left of) the other two video
images. These images can be minimized or eliminated by one
of the following methods:

• Switch to Extron’s Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable.

• Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of
pair skew to the receiver’s output.

• Install an SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer on the receiver’s
video output and adjust the skew for the leading video
image.

Mounting

The TP T 15HD 45 and TP T A 45 are designed to fit into a wall­mountable or floor box-mountable 45 mm mounting frame.
