Installation and Setup
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources. Mount the MTP 1500RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver as required.
Step 2 — Connect Input
Connect the RJ-45 cable from an MTP transmitter to the Input port on the MTP 1500RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver.
Terminate the cable as shown below right, using the same standard (T568A or T568B) at both ends.

NOTE: The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ AV cable terminated in accordance
with the TIA/EIA T568A standard. CAT 5 cables are acceptable but less preferable. Using preterminated and tested cables is also
recommended. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.
Step 3 — Connect Outputs
Attach the applicable output cables (video, audio, and buffered output).
A. High resolution video output — Connect a suitable display device to the 15-pin HD
connector (RGB).
B. RS-232 connector — Connect an RS-232 compatible MTP transmitter to the 3-pole
captive screw connector (wired as shown at right) for bi-directional or uni-directional
communication up to 1,000 feet, (305 meters) maximum.
C. Buffered output — Connect up to 5 daisy-chained MTP receivers to this RJ-45 connector.
Step 4 — Receiver DIP Switches
• H sync (H+) and V sync (V+) switches — Set these switches up (On) for positive sync or
down (Off) for negative sync.
• Composite Sync, SOG, and Video switches — Set these switches as shown in the table
(see right) to output the indicated format.
• End Unit switch — Set this switch up if either of the following is true:
• The receiver being congured is the only receiver connected to the transmitter.
• The receiver being congured is the last receiver in a daisy-chained system.
• BI-232 switch — Set this up (ON) for bi-directional or down for uni-directional communication.

Step 5 — Power
Wire the 2-pole captive screw connectors for the included external 12 VDC power supplies (see

if they are not grounded correctly.
To prevent malfunctions or product damage, an experienced installer can correctly ground an Extron
MTP 1500RL 15HD RS SEQ product in either of two ways:
• Ground the power input port — Insert one end of the grounding wire to the negative or ground pin
on the power input connector (see image a on the right). Tie the other end of the wire to an earth
ground.

• Ground the chassis — Use a connector hex nut (see image b on the right). Tie the other end of
the wire to an earth ground.
If you have any questions about how to ground a product in a specic application, contact an Extron technical
support specialist.
Step 6 — Peaking and Level
Adjust the image sharpness using the Peaking control. Increased peaking compensates for mid- and high-frequency
detail loss. The LED lights red when minimum (zero) or maximum peaking is reached.
Adjust the image brightness using the Level control. View the image and adjust either control for the best image quality.
LEVEL
Step 7 — Skew Compensation
Pair skew can be measured with test equipment or by viewing a crosshatch test pattern. The SEQ receivers have
built-in skew compensation capabilities. Adjust the equalization as follows:
A. Set the skew delay to zero for red, green, and blue by using a Tweeker or small screwdriver to press and hold
the Select button for 3 seconds. When the Red, Green, and Blue LEDs all go out, release the Select button.
B. Use UTP cable test equipment or examine the displayed image to determine which video signal — red, green,
or blue — is shifted furthest to the right.
C. Adjust the furthest left video signal by using a Tweeker or screwdriver to press and release the Select button until
the LED for the left-shifted color lights.
D. Slowly rotate the Adjust control clockwise until the shifted color is properly aligned.
E. Repeat steps C and D to align the third color if needed.
