Introduction

About the SW MTP T Series Switchers

The SW2 MTP T 15HD A, SW4 MTP T 15HD A, and
SW6 MTP T 15HD A switchers are two, four, or six input, VGA
or other high resolution video and computer audio switchers
with a proprietary twisted pair (MTP) transmitter output that
incorporates the selected video and mono audio signals and a
separate stereo audio-only output.

The twisted pair (TP) output is compatible with long-distance
transmission to an Extron MTP receiver over Extron’s Enhanced
Skew-Free™ A/V UTP cable or over Category (CAT) 5 shielded
twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or foil
shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.

The switcher is a part of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic
distribution amplifiers, switchers, transmitters, receivers, and
associated video accessories.

The MTP switcher inputs high resolution video on 15-pin HD
connectors and audio on 3.5 mm stereo jacks (figure 1-1). The
transmitter also can accept component video, S-video, or
composite video. The transmitter converts the selected video
and audio input signals to proprietary signals and outputs them
to the MTP receiver on an RJ-45 connector. The transmitter also
makes the selected input audio available for local use on a

3.5 mm 5-pin captive screw connector.

Sound System

The MTP switcher requires either an MTP R 15HD A,
MTP RL 15HD A, or VTR001 receiver. The receiver inputs the
transmitted proprietary signal and converts the signal back into
its high resolution video and mono audio components.

The VTR001 is a video-only receiver.

All models have contact closure and RS-232 remote control
capability through the 9-pin Remote connector. The KP 6 wired
remote control and the IR 102 Kit infrared remote control are
optional remote controls for input selection. The KP 6 has a
25-foot cable. The IR 102 has an approximate 30-foot range.

These switchers are housed in rack-mountable, 1U high,
half rack-width metal enclosures. They ship with external
desktop 12 V power supplies that accept 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz
or 60 Hz input.

Front panel buttons, a contact closure or RS-232 controller, or
the auto switching option can be used for input selection.

TP cable advantages

Twisted pair cable is much smaller, lighter, more flexible, and
less expensive than coaxial cable. The Extron TP products make
cable runs simpler and less cumbersome. Termination of the
cable with RJ-45 connectors is simple, quick, and economical.

Transmission distance

The maximum distance is determined by the output frequency
and resolution. The table on the next page specifies the
recommended maximum transmission distances and Pre-Peak
switch positions (see item 5 on page 2-9) to MTP receivers
using Extron Skew-Free A/V UTP cable or UTP CAT 5 cable,
terminated with CAT 5 rated connectors.

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

The MTP switcher and the receivers perform best with
Extron Skew-Free A/V cable, terminated in accordance
with the TIA/EIA T 568 A wiring standard. CAT 5
cable is acceptable but less preferable. We also
recommend the use of pre-terminated and tested cable.
Cable terminated on site should be tested before use to
ensure that it complies with Category 5 specifications.

Installation

Mounting the Switcher

The SW MTP T can be set on a table, mounted on a rack shelf,
mounted to a rack without a shelf, or mounted under a desk,
podium, or tabletop.

Tabletop use

Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the switcher.
For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom
side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, do not install the rubber feet.
Mount the switcher on a standard or basic 19" 1U VersaTools
rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-20 or #60-604-20) or a standard
or basic 1U Universal rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-01 or
#60-604-01). On the Universal rack shelves, the switcher
mounts in one of two locations to the rear of the rack or in one
of two locations to the front of the rack.

1. Remove rubber feet if they were previously installed on
the bottom of the switcher.

2. Mount the switcher on the rack shelf, using two
4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to
secure it to the shelf (figure 2-1 and figure 2-2).

3. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) on the rack shelf.

4. Attach the rack shelf to the rack using the supplied bolts.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted on
a VersaTools shelf. Most 1U rack-mountable Extron
products can be mounted on the standard shelf.
