Guide Overview

This guide provides installation, operation, control, and reference information for the XTP T VGA Transmitter. In this guide, the terms “transmitter” and “XTP T VGA” are used interchangeably to refer to the XTP T VGA Transmitter.

XTP T VGA Transmitter Description

The Extron XTP T VGA is a universal XTP transmitter that sends multi-format analog video, audio, control, and Ethernet up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. It digitizes all incoming analog formats and applies SD Pro™ processing to deinterlace 480i and 576i video signals for reliable display on a variety of output devices. To simplify integration, the XTP transmitter features VGA loop-through for source monitoring. It also allows Ethernet extension and insertion of bidirectional RS-232 and IR for LAN access and AV device control at remote locations. The XTP T VGA Transmitter works with XTP Systems for signal distribution and long-distance transmission to remote endpoints.

It can be powered locally or remotely through an Extron XTP Power Injector or XTP matrix switcher (see Power Connection on page 10).

To configure and control the XTP T VGA locally, connect a computer to the USB configuration port and either enter Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see SIS

Configuration and Control on page 15) or use the Extron XTP System Configuration

Software (see XTP System Configuration Software on page 21).

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices for XTP communication to achieve full transmission distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) and reduce transmission errors.

• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-236-03

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000’ (305 m) spool 22-235-03

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard (see ﬁgure 5

on the previous page).

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

NOTE: When using STP cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:

• Do not exceed 40% ﬁll capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the ﬁrst 20 m, where cables are straightened, aligned,

and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être ﬁxée de façon permanente à la structure de bâtiment ou à d’autres structures similaires.

• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the

power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord negative lead.

• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte

pourrait endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du cordon permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation.

• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is

3/16 inch (5 mm).

• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les

dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inch).

TIP: Do not tin the stripped power supply leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the

captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.

SIS Configuration and Control

The XTP T VGA can be configured and controlled using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands or the XTP System Configuration Software (see XTP System Configuration

Software on page 21). This section contains SIS communication details and SIS

commands and responses when connected directly to an XTP T VGA. Topics in this section include:

• Host Device Connection

• SIS Overview

• Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands

Host Device Connection

Use a computer running the Extron DataViewer utility or use a control system to enter SIS commands. To connect directly to an XTP T VGA, connect the computer to the front panel configuration port (see figure 9, B on page 13).

SIS Overview

Host-to-Device and Device-to-Host Communication

Error Responses

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the XTP T VGA determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the receiver to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

When the XTP T VGA receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the receiver returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E10 = Invalid command E11 = Invalid preset number E12 = Invalid port number E13 = Invalid parameter E14 = Not valid for this configuration E17 = Invalid command for signal type

ASCII to Hex Conversion Table

Space

The command and response tables beginning on the next page list the commands that the transmitter recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command. Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string with no spaces. Figure 11 shows the hexadecimal equivalent of ASCII characters used in the command and response tables.
