About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers
The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers provide a system for
long‑distance distribution of A/V signals over Category (CAT) 5
shielded (STP), unshielded (UTP), or foil shielded (FTP) twisted
pair cable. They are part of the Extron VersaTools® line of basic
distribution ampliers, switchers, transmitters, receivers, and
associated video accessories.
An MTP transmitter converts input video and stereo or mono
audio signals to proprietary signals and outputs them to a
compatible MTP receiver via TP (twisted pair) cabling.
The MTP Series Features table shows the video and audio
capabilities of each model, transmitter/receiver compatibility,
and Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) mountability.
1-2
N
The video format of the transmitter (S-video or composite
video) must match the video format of the receiver.
N
The transmitter audio output, whether captive screw or
RCA input connectors, is compatible with any receiver
in the MTP Series if the transmitter and receiver jumper
configuration is compatible. See “Signal Jumpers for
Generational Compatibility”.
VersaTools ® MTP Series • Installation
Refer also to the VersaTools ® MTP Series User’s Manual at www.extron.com.
Signal Jumpers for Generational Compatibility
The latest generation MTP transmitters convert stereo audio to
mono before outputting it to the receiver. Remote powering
of either the transmitter or receiver has also been eliminated.
While the default setup of a new generation (mono audio) MTP
transmitter/receiver is not compatible with older generation
(stereo audio) units, internal jumpers provide backward
compatibility and also allow new generation units to utilize
the two features (stereo audio and remote powering) when
necessary.
Shift the new transmitter and/or receiver jumper if:
The installation mixes a transmitter/receiver pair with •
stereo and mono audio (old and new generation).
Stereo audio is required.•
Remote power is needed.•
The table below identies the generation of transmitter and/or
receiver. If any of the above scenarios are true, consult the
VersaTools MTP Series User's Manual or www.extron.com for
instructions on properly setting the jumper.
N
Only new generation units have jumpers.

Transmitter/receiver combinations containing new generation,
non‑jumpered (mono audio) units cannot be powered from a
single supply. The following table shows the combination of
old and new generation MTP units (jumper congured to the
stereo audio position) capable of remote powering (See "Signal
Jumpers for Generational Compatibity" on page 1‑3).
The length of exposed wires is critical. Ideal length is
3/16” (5 mm). If the stripped section of wire is longer than
3/16” the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit.
If the stripped section of wire is shorter, wires can easily be
pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
Do not tin the stripped leads! Tinned wires are not as
secure in the captive screw and direct insertion connectors
and could be pulled out.
The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the
power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
The transmitter/receiver pair may have shipped with a blue
captive screw connector. This connector does not include
the extended tail or tie-wrap but can be plugged into either
a blue or an orange power receptacle.

When configured for stereo audio, a single power supply
connected to either the transmitter or receiver can power
both units if there is less than 500 feet (150 meters) of
STP/UTP/FTP cable between the two. If the transmitter
