Hersteller empfohlen wurden, da diese eine Gefahrenquelle darstellen können.

Warning

Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product. This

equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.

Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords from the rear of

the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).

Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them.

Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. To

prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are provided to prevent

overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by other objects.

Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the

same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Avertissement

Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce

matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale comportant un ﬁl de terre (neutre). Le troisième contact (de mise à la terre) constitue un dispositif de sécurité : n’essayez pas de la contourner ni de la désactiver.

Déconnexion de l’alimentation• Pour mettre le matériel hors tension sans danger, déconnectez tous les cordons

d’alimentation de l’arrière de l’appareil ou du module d’alimentation de bureau (s’il est amovible) ou encore de la prise secteur.

MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction 1

About the MTP Transmitters and Receivers

The Extron MTP T 15HD RS transmitter and MTP RL 15HD RS and MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of VGA or other high resolution video and RS-232 serial communications.

The MTPs are a part of the Extron compact line of basic distribution ampliﬁers, switchers, transmitters, receivers, and associated video accessories.

High resolution video is sent to the MTP transmitter on a 15-pin HD connector. The transmitter passes RS-232 serial data or control signals on a 3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw connector. The transmitter converts the video and RS-232 signals to proprietary signals and outputs them to a compatible MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. The transmitter also makes the input video available for local use on a 15-pin HD connector.

The transmitted proprietary signal is sent to the receiver on an RJ-45 connector and converts the signal back into its high resolution video and serial data components. The receiver outputs the video on a 15-pin HD connector. The serial communications are passed on a

3.5 mm 3-pin captive screw connector.

The RS-232 portion of the TP link:

 Can be bidirectional in a one-receiver system; that is, the receiver can receive commands

from the transmitter and pass RS-232 responses to the transmitter.

NOTE: If there is only one receiver in the system, you can shift a jumper in that

receiver (see "Receiver Jumpering" on page 5) to allow bidirectional RS-232 communications and change a DIP switch setting (see "End Unit

switch" on page 12 to properly terminate the signal).

 Supports software ﬂow control (XON, XOFF).

NOTE: Hardware ﬂow control is not supported.

 Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.

 Supports any baud rate (up to 38,400), data bits, parity, stop bits, and data format

without conﬁguration.

NOTE: Higher rates are possible, but performance will vary as a function of baud

rate and TP cable length.

The receiver also buffers the proprietary input signal and sends it to another compatible MTP receiver or to a daisy chain of receivers.

NOTES: • The transmitter provides pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is

transmitted. The buffered output on the receiver does not provide any pre-peaking control. The total recommended distance (see the table on page 4) for an entire daisy chain is the same as for a single transmitter and receiver. The Pre-Peak switch on the transmitter has the same affect on the recommended transmission distance for a daisy chain as for a single transmitter and receiver.

• Up to eight receivers can be connected in series using the Buffered Output connectors, provided that the total distance from the TP output of the transmitter to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended distance for the resolution being used.

MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction 2

The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, or STP201 cables are used for RGB video, component video, and S-video transmission.

NOTE: An SEQ receiver should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V

Each MTP transmitter and receiver model is shipped with an external desktop 12 VDC power supply that accepts 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz input.

Twisted Pair Cable Advantages

Twisted pair cable is smaller, lighter, more ﬂexible, and less expensive than coaxial cable. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

CAUTION: Do not connect these devices to a computer data or telecommunications

Transmission Distance

The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. The table on page 4 speciﬁes the recommended maximum transmission distances and transmitter Pre-Peak switch positions (see item e on page 10) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable, STP201 cable, or CAT 5, 5e, 6, or 7 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

UTP cable is used.

network.

NOTES: • The non-C7 transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with

Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable for the non-C7 models, but less preferable. We also recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cables. Cables terminated on site should be tested before use to ensure that they comply with CAT 5 speciﬁcations.

• The use of STP201 or CAT 7 cable has a negative effect on transmission

• Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of TP cable between the transmitter

• For daisy-chained units, the ﬁrst receiver in the chain must be at least

• For daisy-chained units, any receiver in the chain closer than 350 feet (105 m)

distance. STP201 or CAT 7 cable should only be used with C7 products.

at 60 Hz

NOTES: • The recommendations shown in the table above apply for a single transmitter

and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for 1024x768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet (150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.

• Resolutions marked with an asterisk (*) in the table above have the same range speciﬁcations at 75 Hz.

• It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality may be reduced.
