a Power LED — Indicates power is applied to the MTP.
b Select button — This recessed button selects the red, green, or blue video signal to
adjust, and resets all them to a skew delay of zero nanoseconds.
Press and release this button to cycle through and select the red, green, or blue video
signal for adjusting. The selected signal is indicated by the Red, Green, and Blue LEDs
(c).
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 (d) all turn off. Release the button.
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.
c Red, Green, and Blue LEDs — These LEDs indicate the video signal that is selected by
the Select button (b) for skew adjustment using the Adjust control (d). The LED for the
selected color blinks when the skew compensation for the video signal of the selected
color has reached the minimum or maximum limit.
MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ • Operation8
d Adjust skew control — This control delays the selected red, green, or blue video signal
up to a maximum of 62 nanoseconds (ns), made in 2 ns incremental steps. Rotate the
control counterclockwise to reduce the delay or clockwise to increase it (see “Skew
Delay Compensation” for details).
NOTES:• The movement of the adjustment control is smooth and does not have
mechanical steps or high- and low-limit stops.
• Watch the displayed image to observe the steps of delay.
• For best performance set the skew of the most delayed signal to 0 ns
(minimum) and adjust the other two signals to meet it.
e Level control — The Level control alters the video output voltage to affect the
brightness of the displayed image.
Adjust the knob while viewing the displayed image to set the level or boost that
provides the best picture quality (see “Peaking and Level Adjustment” section for
details).
f Peaking control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a picture. Increased peaking can
compensate for mid- and high-frequency detail loss due to low bandwidth system
components or capacitance in long cables.
Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the optimum picture
sharpness. The LED lights red when the peaking is at the minimum (0) and maximum
(100%) peaking settings (see the “Peaking and Level Adjustment” section for
details).
NOTE: To avoid possible video loss due to errors in the format detection, always
Peaking and Level Adjustment
For best performance and video format detection, the equalization of the MTP 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:• Set the gain adjustment so that a white field video signal is +0.7
2. Using an alternating black and 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 and white field) to the same video level for
best results.
Do not over-peak the signal.
start with minimal peaking and level, then increase values only as required.
volts from the ground level.
• Set the peaking adjustment using the highest frequency video
format signal for the system in RGB, component video, or S-video.
MTP 1500RL 15HD A SEQ • Operation9
Skew Delay Compensation
CAT 5, 5e and CAT 6 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 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 need to be
made only once, during installation
SEQ receiver skew compensation
The SEQ receivers have built-in skew compensation capabilities. Adjust the equalization as
follows:
1. Set the skew delay to zero 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 to
rotate the control until that color is properly converged.
NOTE: A 2ns adjustment is very ne. Up to 10ns of delay may be necessary before
a change in the display is detectable. The maximum delay possible is 62ns.
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.
4. If the remaining color is left shifted, repeat step 3.

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: +122 °F,
+50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets
adequate air flow for safe operation.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical
loading does not create a hazardous condition.
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.
Appropriate consideration of the equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
