MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction1
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 • Introduction2
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)

ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed section is longer, the
exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is
shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the
captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can
become loose over time.
Pre-Peak switch — The Pre-Peak switch alters the TP signal output to correct for

TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
• RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable (for non-C7 units only)
must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only.
• For proper grounding of STP201 and CAT 7 cable only, ensure the shield
around each wire pair and the shield around the STP201 or CAT 7 cable
are all tied to the RJ-45 connectors on both ends, in accordance with the
connector specifications provided by the manufacturer.
• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable is not recommended for Ethernet/
LAN applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron
Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA T568A standard.
• The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable have virtually identical
lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.
• The orange wire pair of this cable has a different length and should not be
used to transmit the RGB signals.
MTP 15HD RS Series • Installation and Operation14
Skew Delay Compensation
CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 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 need to be made
only 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 small screwdriver to press and hold the Select button for three 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 most shifted to the
left.
NOTE: A crosshatch test pattern or a black background with vertical white lines is
ideal for determining skew.
3. Adjust the leftmost video signal as follows:
NOTE: The SEQ receiver cannot shift the rightmost video image to the left.
a. Use a small screwdriver to press and release the Select button until the LED lights for
the left-shifted color — Red, Green, or Blue.
b. Slowly rotate the Delay control clockwise while monitoring the display.
Observe that the leftmost color shifts rightward one step at a time. Continue to
rotate the control until that color is properly converged.
NOTE: A 2-nanosecond adjustment is very fine. Up to 10 nanoseconds of delay
may be necessary before you detect a change in the display.
c. Use a small screwdriver to press the Select button one more time to save the most
recent adjustment or allow the 10-second time-out to elapse.
4. If the remaining colors are left shifted, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Non-SEQ Receiver 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 output of the
receiver.
Install a SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer to the video output of the receiver and adjust
the skew for the leading video image.

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation
of these products in a rack:
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or
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 ow — Install the equipment in the rack so that safe operation and
adequate air flow is provided to the unit.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
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.
Consider the equipment nameplate ratings 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).
