About this Guide

NOTE: Throughout this guide all models are referred to as "MTPX Plus matrix

switchers" unless a significant difference is noted in their input and output
matrix size.

This manual contains installation, conguration, and operating information for the Extron

MTPX Plus 6400 Series MTP Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers (see figure 1 on the next page).

About the Matrix Switchers

The MTPX Plus matrix switchers distribute signals that are compatible with the Extron MTP
and VTT/VTR product lines. The matrix switcher routes a twisted pair (TP) or video input

signal to any combination of TP or video outputs. Depending on the MTP model, the routed

TP signal can include RGB or low resolution video and either mono audio or transmitter-to-

receiver RS-232 serial communications. The matrix switcher can route multiple input/output
configurations simultaneously.

NOTE: The receiver-to-transmitter serial communications and remote power capabilities

available with certain MTP models are not supported by this matrix switcher.

The matrix switcher is a single box solution (see figure 1, on the next page) to complex

TP and video signal routing applications. Each input and output is individually isolated and

buffered. Any input can be switched to any one or all outputs with virtually no crosstalk
or signal noise between channels. Multiple ties between inputs and outputs can exist
simultaneously

The MTPX Plus series are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the number
of inputs and outputs):

 MTPX Plus 4848 (48 inputs by 48 outputs)
 MTPX Plus 4864 (48 inputs by 64 outputs)
 MTPX Plus 6432 (64 inputs by 32 outputs)
 MTPX Plus 6448 (64 inputs by 48 outputs)
 MTPX Plus 6464 (64 inputs by 64 outputs)

The MTPX Plus switchers input and output TP signals on RJ-45 connectors. A pre-peaking
feature on the TP outputs allows you to boost the transmission distance of the output signal.

Figure 1. Typical MTPX Plus Twisted Pair Matrix Switcher Application

Additionally, inputs 1 through 8 feature 15-pin HD and 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw input
connectors for local RGB (VGA) and stereo audio inputs without an MTP transmitter.

Outputs 1 through 4 feature 15-pin HD output connectors local RGB (VGA) output without

an MTP receiver. Outputs 1 through 8 feature 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw ports for mono
audio output without an MTP receiver.

The local input and output 15-pin HD connectors can also support HD-YUV (component)
video, YUV video, S-video, and composite video.

NOTE: For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the

MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation mono
audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and see the associated manual
to determine which MTP models you have.

MTPX Plus 6400 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 2

The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its rear panel Remote (RS-232/RS-422)

port and its front panel Conguration (USB) port using either the Extron Matrix Switchers

Control Program or the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™). The SIS is a set of basic ASCII code
commands that provides control through a control system or PC.

The switcher can be operated remotely by any of the following when that device is
connected to either MTPX Plus port:

 A control system
 A PC
 An Extron MKP 2000 remote control panel
 An Extron MKP 3000 remote control panel

Outputs 1 through 16 support bidirectional pass-through RS-232 signals from a dedicated
source (rather than from the selected input), which 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 for audio,
such as to an MTP U R 15HD RSA SEQ receiver, which can autodetect whether its signal

input includes an audio component or an RS-232 component.

The switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and

composite video.

MTPX Plus 6400 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 3

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.

CAUTION: Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications

network.

Transmission distances

The maximum distances are determined by the frequency and resolution of the video signal
being routed and by which MTPX Plus inputs and outputs (TP or local) are in the full (video
source to display) routing path. The tables on the following pages specify the recommended

maximum transmission distances using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or UTP

CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTES: • For all three tables, the minimum TP cable length should be 25 feet (7.5 m).

• RS-232 serial communications can be sent up to 1,000 feet (300 m) from
the MTP transmitter output (or RS-232 output insert) to the MTP receiver
TP input.

• You can exceed the recommended distances; however, image quality may be

reduced.

• Daisy-chaining MTPX units by connecting a TP output from one matrix

switcher to the TP input of a second matrix switcher is not recommended.
Daisy chaining in this manner can lead to excessive video smearing.

• The transmitters, receivers, and matrix switcher are designed for and perform
best with Extron Enhanced Skew-Free A/V cable terminated in accordance
with the TIA/EIA T 568A 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.

• The recommendations shown in the tables apply equally for a transmission

line that consists of a single transmitter, the switcher, and receiver and for a
transmission line that encompasses a transmission daisy chain. For example,
the maximum suggested output range (MTPX Plus TP output to MTP receiver)
for 1024 x 768 video is 500 feet (150 m) (table 1 [2]) or 450 feet (135 m)
(table 2 [4]), whether the transmission line consists of the switcher and a
single receiver or the switcher and three daisy-chained receivers. This range
can be extended to 500 feet or 550 feet if the output is one that has the Pre­Peak function and the function is turned on.

• For daisy-chained units, the rst receiver in the chain should be at least

50 feet (15 m) from the switcher when the Pre-Peak feature is on.

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

may experience some form of over-peaking when the Pre-Peak switch is on.
An overpeaked image may appear bloomed.

Skew equalization

Skew exists between wire pairs when the physical length of one wire pair is different from
another. Skew affects the displayed image when the differential length between wire pairs
exceeds 2 feet. This causes the timing of the red, green, and blue video signals to appear out
of alignment (horizontal registration errors). The signals transmitted on the shortest pair are
shifted to the left if you are viewing white lines on a black background. A white vertical line
on a black field can appear as individual red, green, and blue lines that are close together.
The signal transmitted on the shortest wire pair leads the other colors and appears to the left
on the display. As the transmission cable length increases, the skew effect increases.

MTPX Plus 6400 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 7

Features

The MTPX Plus has a skew equalizer function that is available using SIS, the Windows-based
control program, or built-in HTML page control. The skew function provides separate time
delay circuits on the red, green, and blue video lines on the inputs and the outputs. Each

time delay circuit can be independently adjusted, from 0 to 62 nanoseconds, to properly

align the red, green, and blue video signals on the displayed image. When correctly set, the

red, green, or blue video signal on the shortest wire pair is delayed to properly converge the
displayed video image.

UTP cable test equipment measures and reports wire pair length. The report on the various
pair lengths can be used to properly equalize pair skew. If UTP cable test measurement

cannot be done, pair skew can still be equalized by viewing a test pattern with a critical eye.

Examine the test pattern for loss of horizontal registration and, through a process of trial

and error, equalize any pair skew.

Twisted pair inputs and outputs — The switchers input and output TP signals on female
RJ-45 connectors.

NOTE: For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP inputs, the

MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer generation, mono
audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and refer to the associated
manual to determine which MTP models you have.

Local video inputs and outputs — The switchers directly input and output RGBHV or
RGBS (VGA) video on 15-pin HD connectors. They can also input and output RGsB, RsGsBs,
component/HDTV, S-video, or composite video.

Local audio inputs — The switchers directly input balanced or unbalanced stereo audio on

3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Local audio outputs — The switchers directly output balanced or unbalanced stereo mono

on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Audio input gain/attenuation — The volume of each audio input can be adjusted so

there are no noticeable volume differences between sources. You can set the input level of
audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the front panel or via serial port control.

Audio output volume — The volume of each audio signal that is output on the 5-pole,

3.5 mm captive screw input connectors can be displayed and adjusted through a range of
full output to complete silence. Adjustments can be made from the front panel or remote
control.

Switching flexibility — The switcher provides individually buffered, independent, matrix
switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway.

 Tie any input to any or all outputs.
 Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs

simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the
same time.

 Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input via front

panel control or via serial port remote control.

 Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding video signal.

This feature allows any audio signal to be tied to one or all outputs in any combination
with or without an accompanying video signal. Audio breakaway switching can be
done via front panel control or via serial port remote control.

MTPX Plus 6400 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 8

Operational reliability — The MTPX Plus matrix switcher can support round-the-clock

operation in mission-critical applications, through the use of redundant power supplies and
modular fans.

 Primary and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies — The hot-swappable,

redundant power supplies are configured to automatically take over the load from the
primary supplies in the case of a failure.

The complete power circuit, from the plug, through the power supply, to the insertion of
the power onto the power distribution plane, is separate and redundant (see figure 2).
If the installation includes uninterruptible or completely separate power sources, the
switcher remains powered up through any power interruption except a simultaneous
loss of power on both power sources.

Figure 2. Redundant Power Supply Backs up Primary

Should a primary power supply fail, the redundant power supply immediately assumes
the load of the failed primary supply with no down time. A failed power supply is easily
replaceable from the rear at any time without powering down the matrix.

 Hot-swappable fans — The hot-swappable fans allow quick replacement to avert

overheating in the case of a failure. Fans can be replaced without powering down the
switcher.

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of presets,
and adjustment of audio levels can be performed using the front panel or via either serial
port. The serial ports allow remote control via a PC or a control system.

 Front panel controls — The front panel controls support input and output selection,

preset creation and selection, audio gain and attenuation, and volume control. The
front panel features slots for labels that can identify each input and output with text or
graphics.

 Windows-based control program — For serial port remote control from a PC, the

Extron Matrix Switchers Control Program provides a graphical interface and drag-and-

drop/point-and-click operation. The control program also has an emulation mode that
lets you create a switcher configuration file at the office and then download it for use by
the switcher on site.

 Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — The remote control protocol uses the Extron SIS for

easy programming and operation.

 Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote controllable,

using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control keypads. These remote

control devices are easy to use and provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each

MKP can be used for input-to-output switching or one-touch switching for a particular
output. The MKP 3000 also can be used for selection of global presets.

Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific
“rooms,” allowing them to have their own presets.

MTPX Plus 6400 Series Matrix Switchers • Introduction 9

EDID Minder — Captures and stored EDID information, continuously making it available to

all local inputs. EDID minder has two operating modes:

 Automatic (default) — Captures EDID for displays connected to the local outputs and

provides data to the appropriate local inputs.

 User Assigned Mode — Rates from EDID table can be selected and assigned to any

input. EDID le for the display connected to output 1 can be stored in the EDID table

(four user-assigned locations are available).

Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operations can be
upgraded in the field via either serial port, without taking the switcher out of service.

Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron website, www.extron.com,

and can be installed using the control program.

Labeling — The Extron button label software is shipped with every Extron matrix switcher.
You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below the output

buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input

and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be made with any Brother® P-Touch™ or

comparable labeler.
Global presets — 64 global presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store

input/output congurations in advance. You can then recall those congurations, when

needed, with a few simple steps on the front panel.

Rack mounting — The 10U high enclosure has mounting anges that make it rack

mountable in any conventional 19-inch wide wide rack without extra hardware.
Three front panel security lockout modes (Executive modes) — If a matrix switcher is

installed in an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem,
either of two security lockout modes can be implemented (the third mode is unlocked).

When a front panel lockout mode is enabled, a special button combination or SIS command

is required to unlock the front panel controls and make the front panel fully operational.

Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC internal power supplies provides worldwide power

compatibility.

CAUTION: Do not connect this device to a computer data or telecommunications

network.

NOTES: • Congure the switcher for the appropriate content on the audio/RS-232

wire pair (pins 3 and 6) for each TP input (see “Defining the Audio/

RS-232 Wire Pair“ on page 55). You can also use SIS commands (see

the “Programming Guide” section, page 73) or the Matrix Switchers
Control Program (see the “Matrix Software“ section, page 105).

• For best results, use a minimum cable length of at least 25 feet (7.5 m)

between the transmitter and the MTPX input.

• RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable must comply with
the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
RJ-45 termination with Enhanced Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must comply
with TIA/EIA T568A only.

• For low resolution MTPs (S-video and composite video) on the TP

inputs, the MTPX Plus audio circuits are compatible only with the newer
generation, mono audio models. See your MTP transmitter/ receiver and
refer to the associated manual to determine which MTP models you have.

Figure 4 shows the recommended termination of TP cables. . You can use either the
TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standard with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, but use the

same standard on both ends of the cable.

twisted pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA 568A standard.

• The green, brown, and blue pairs of this cable have virtually identical
lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.

• The orange pair of this cable has a different length and should not be
used to transmit the RGB signals.

b Local Inputs (VGA) connectors — Connect analog computer-video

(RGB) sources to these 15-pin HD female connectors.

NOTES: • The video that is input on this connector, when it is tied to a TP output,

is converted to same type of the proprietary TP signal that is output by

the MTP 15HD transmitters. This allows you to eliminate some of the

transmitters in a system.

• When either the input or output of a tie is local (VGA), Extron

recommends that the MTP output or input be connected by a minimum
of 25 feet (7.5 m) of TP cable to prevent overpeaking.

• The matrix switchers can also input and switch HD component video,

component video, S-video, or composite video by using the appropriate
adapters and the pins show in figure 5. No configuration of the switcher

is required for component or other non-RGB video formats.

NOTES: • The audio that is output on these connectors is converted from the tied

proprietary TP input signal or the local audio input. This feature allows
you duplicates of the outputs while eliminating the need for extra
receivers.

• When an input that is congured as RS-232 is switched to a local audio

output, the output is muted to prevent RS-232 noise on the audio output.

By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway ties, which can be

created via the front panel or under remote control, allow you to select from any one of
the audio input sources and route it separately from its corresponding video source (see
