About this Manual

This manual describes the function, installation, configuration, and operation of the MTP SW6 twisted pair switcher.

About the MTP SW6 Switcher

The Extron MTP SW6 is a 6-input, 1-output twisted pair switcher that is compatible with the entire line of Extron MTP transmitters and receivers.
The Extron MTP transmitters and receivers are a system for long-distance distribution of video and either audio or RS-232 communications. The MTPs transmit and receive over Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or over CAT 5, 5e, or 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.
The MTP switcher receives up to six sets of signals from compatible MTP devices on RJ-45 connectors (figure 1). You can select one input to output to a compatible MTP device on an RJ-45 connector. The signal sets are comprised of high or low resolution video signals (RGB, bi-level or tri-level component video, S-video, or composite video) and can also include either RS-232 serial signals or audio.

MTP SW6 • Introduction 1
NOTE: The remote power capabilities of certain MTP models are not supported by this
switcher.
The MTP switcher has image enhancement features that allow you to correct for long distance transmissions and skew:
• Level and Peaking controls enhance the TP signals received on the inputs.
• A Pre-Peaking control enhances the TP output for optimum display.
• Delay (skew correction) controls correct for skew delay (misconvergence) commonly
encountered when using CAT 5, 5e, or 6 TP cables for RGB video, and component video transmission.
NOTE: Skew correction should not be necessary when Extron Enhanced Skew-Free
A/V UTP cable is used and the transmission distance is less than 1,000 feet (300 m).
Bidirectional RS-232 signal from a dedicated source (rather than from the selected input) can be directly inserted into the signal set routed to the TP output. You can even route RS-232 on a link that is normally audio, such as to an MTP R 15HD RSA D receiver, which can autodetect whether the signal input to it includes an audio component or an RS-232 component.
The MTP switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 1U high, half rack-width metal enclosure. This switcher is shipped with an external 12 V power supply that accepts 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz input and provides worldwide power compatibility.

RS-232 Function

When the TP link includes RS-232 signals, they are unidirectional (switcher to receiver).
NOTE: The RS-232 insert signal path is bidirectional.
The RS-232 link:
• Supports software flow control (XON, XOFF).
NOTE: Hardware flow control is not supported.
• Supports full duplex and half duplex operation.
• Supports baud rates 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.
MTP SW6 • Introduction 2

Twisted Pair (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. Termination of the cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.
Transmission distance
NOTE: VGA video transmitters provide pre-peaking, which boosts the signal before it is
transmitted.
The maximum distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the signal that is input to the transmitter. Figure 2 and Table 1, on the next page, define the switcher

input cables ( transmission distances on the input and output. Table 1 also defines the output Pre-Peak switch positions (item d on page 10) using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
NOTES: • It is possible to exceed the recommended distance; however, image quality
• The MTP units are designed for and perform best with Extron Enhanced
• Resolutions marked with an asterisk in table 1 have the same range
) and output cables (2) and specify the recommended maximum
may be reduced.
Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cables are acceptable, but less preferable. We also recommend 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.

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an MTP SW6 unit onto a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient — 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 specified by the manufacturer [Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].
2. 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.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. 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.
