About this Guide

This guide details the installation, configuration, and operation of the Extron
MTP 1500RL 15HD A series of Mini Twisted Pair receivers.

• MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ mini twisted pair receiver with audio and skew equalization

• MTP 1500RL 15HD A mini twisted pair receiver with audio

The following terms are applicable in this manual:

• “Transmitter” refers specifically to the MTP transmitter.

• “Receiver” refers to either MTP 1500RL 15HD A model covered in this guide.

• “SEQ receiver” refers specifically to the MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ receiver with skew

equalization.

About the MTP 1500RL 15HD A Series Receivers

The Extron MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ and MTP 1500RL 15HD A receivers are for long
distance distribution of RGB, component (bi-level or tri-level sync), S-video, or composite
video signals and audio over twisted pair cables.

The MTP 1500RL 15HD A series is a half rack size line of basic twisted pair receivers
that are fully compatible with all MTP transmitters, distribution amplifiers, matrix switchers and
associated video accessories. When used with any of the Extron MTP transmitter models,
the video can be transmitted over an extended distance or over current standard distances.

The MTP 1500RL 15HD A models receive signals up to UXGA, HD component video
(including 1080p), standard component, S-video, bi-level or tri-level component video, and
high resolution RGB video) on an RJ-45 connector over Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V
UTP cable, or over Category (CAT) 5 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair
(UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

The receiver outputs multiple RGB formats, composite video, S-video and component video
on the 15-pin HD connector, according to the current DIP switch settings.

MTP 1500RL 15HD A Series 1

NOTE: The MTP 1500RL 15HD series of receivers cannot be used with VTT or TP

transmitters.

The receivers ship with external desktop 12 V, 1 A power supplies that accept 100 to
240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz input.

TP Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and less expensive than coaxial
cable. These TP products make cable runs simpler and less cumbersome, and termination
with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission Distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal
transmitted. The table below specifies the maximum transmission distances and transmitter
Pre-peak switch positions using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT
cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTE: The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with Extron

Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A
standard. CAT 5 cables are acceptable but less preferable. Extron also recommends
the use of preterminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be
tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.

CAUTION:
ATTENTION :

• The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove

power before wiring.

• Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être maintenus séparés lorsque la

source d’alimentation est branchée. Coupez l’alimentation avant d’effectuer un
raccordement.

• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

• Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between

them.

• Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the

captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante. La longueur idéale est de 5mm

(3/16inches).

• S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un

court-circuit.

• S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont

correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.

• Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned

wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles

étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être retirés.

ATTENTION:

• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL

Listed power source marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated output 12V dc, minimum

1.0 A minimum. Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use
of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and
may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté

par une source d’alimentation certifié UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension
nominale 12 Vcc, 1 A minimum. Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation
fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non
autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source
d’alimentation ainsi que le produit final.

Pins:

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling

spaces or in wall cavities.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation

dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical
Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to a
building structure or similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code

américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et
du Code canadien de l’électricité, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne
devra pas être fixée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une
structure similaire.

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord (see figure 4 on the
previous page) identify the power cord negative lead.

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte

pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du
cordon (voir l’illustration 4 sur la page 5) permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du
cordon d’alimentation.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the
output with a voltmeter.

As an alternative, an Extron PS 124 Multiple Output 12 Volt DC Power Supply can power
multiple MTPs or other Extron 12 VDC devices using only one AC power connector.

LEDs (E).

NOTE: The SEQ receiver automatically saves the setting for the video signal that is

being deselected when this button is pushed or when the selection times out after
10 seconds.

Press and hold the button in for approximately 3 seconds to zero the skew delay for
red, green, and blue. The Red, Green, and Blue LEDS (E) all turn off. Release the
button.

R(ed), G(reen), and B(lue) LEDs (SEQ receiver only) — These indicate the video signal

E

that is selected by the Select button (b) for skew adjustment using the Adjust control
(F). The LED for the selected color flashes when the skew compensation for that
color’s video signal has reached the minimum or maximum limit.

Adjust skew control (SEQ receiver only) — This control delays the selected red,

F

green, or blue video signal by up to a maximum of 62 nanoseconds (ns), in 2 ns
incremental steps. Rotate the control counterclockwise to reduce the delay or clockwise
to increase the delay. See Skew Delay Compensation on the next page for details.

NOTE: The movement of the Adjust control is smooth; it does not have mechanical

steps or high- and low-limit stops.

Watch the displayed image to observe the steps of delay.

For best performance the skew of the most delayed signal should be set to 0 ns (min.)
and the other two signals adjusted to meet it.

Peaking and Level Adjustment

For best performance and video format detection, the equalization of the MTP receiver
should be adjusted properly.

To achieve this do the following:

1. Terminate the green video signal output with a 75 ohm resistance, and measure the

video signal.

NOTE: Gain adjustment should be set so that a white field video signal is +0.7 volts

from the ground level.

Peaking adjustment should be set using the highest frequency video format signal
for the system in RGB, component video, or S-video.

2. Using an alternative black/white pattern, adjust the peaking so that the video signal

matches that of the white field video. This equalizes both the low frequency (white field)
and the high frequency (alternating black/white field) to the same video level for best
results. Do not over-peak the signal.

Skew Delay Compensation

CAT 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.

NOTE: Unless the TP cable is changed, the skew adjustment should only need to be

made once, during installation..

SEQ receiver skew compensation

The SEQ receiver has built-in skew compensation capabilities. Adjust the equalization as
follows:

1. Zero the skew delay for red, green, and blue as follows:

a. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and hold the Select button for

3 seconds. The Red, Green, and Blue LEDS all go out.

b. Release the Select button.

2. Use UTP cable test equipment or examine the displayed video image with a critical eye

to determine which video signal, red, green, or blue, is shifted furthest to the right.

NOTE: A crosshatch test pattern or a black background with vertical white lines is

ideal for determining skew.

3. Adjust the furthest left video signal as follows:

NOTE: The SEQ receiver cannot shift the furthest right video image to the left.

a. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press and release the Select button

until the LED for the left-shifted color (Red, Green, or Blue) lights.

b. Slowly rotate the Adjust control clockwise while monitoring the display. Continue

4. If the remaining color is left shifted, repeat step 3.

to rotate the control until that color is properly converged.

NOTE: A 2-nanosecond (ns) adjustment is very fine. Up to 10 ns of delay may

be necessary before a change in the display is detectable. Maximum delay
possible is 62 nanoseconds.

c. Use a Tweeker or other small screwdriver to press the Select button one more

time to save the most recent adjustment or allow the 10-second timeout to elapse.

Non-SEQ receivers skew compensation

Try using the following methods to minimize or eliminate pair skew:

• Switch to Extron 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 Extron SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer on the video output of the receiver and

adjust the skew for the leading video image.

UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines

ATTENTION:

• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé

uniquement.

The 1-inch high, half rack width receiver can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or
mounted under a desk or table.

Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient
location.

Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website
(www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack
mounting, see “UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines”.

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the
unit into a rack.

• 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. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified
by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

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

• Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

• Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

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

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
