About this Guide  
Transmission Distance  
About this Guide  
This guide contains installation, configuration, and operation information for  
Extron MTP transmitters and receivers that are compatible with:  
Extron Enhanced Skew-FreeAV UTP cable  
Category (CAT) 5, 5e, and 6 shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or  
foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable.  
This guide details the installation and operation of the following products:  
MTP T 15HD RS twisted pair (TP) transmitter  
MTP RL 15HD RS receiver with loop-through  
MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with loop-through and skew equalization  
In this guide:  
The term "transmitter" refers specifically to the MTP T 15HD RS transmitter.  
The term "receiver" refers to either of the receiver models — the MTP RL 15HD RS or  
MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ.  
The term "SEQ receiver" refers specifically to the MTP RL 15HD RS SEQ receiver with  
skew equalization capabilities.  
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 the 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.  
MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction

The RS-232 portion of the twisted pair 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: By default, the RS-232 portion of the twisted pair link is unidirectional only  
from the transmitter to the receiver. Use the internal jumpers in the receiver  
to enable bidirectional communication in a single-receiver system only  
(see "Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5).  
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 twisted pair 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 effect 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 twisted pair output of the  
transmitter to the last receiver in the chain does not exceed the recommended  
distance for the resolution being used.  
The SEQ receiver also corrects the skew delay commonly encountered when CAT 5, 5e, or 6  
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 AV  
UTP cable is used.  
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.  
MTP 15HD RS Series • Introduction

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 on page 9)  
e
using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable, terminated with  
RJ-45 connectors.  
NOTES:  
The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with  
Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP 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 pre-terminated 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 table on page 4 apply for a single transmitter  
and receiver and for a daisy chain. For example, the maximum suggested range for  
1024 x 768 video is 300 feet (90 m) with the Pre-Peak switch off and 500 feet  
(150 m) with the Pre-Peak switch on, whether the system consists of one transmitter  
and one receiver or a transmitter and three daisy-chained receivers.  
Extron recommends using at least 25 feet of twisted pair cable between the  
transmitter and the first receiver.  
For daisy-chained units, the first receiver in the chain must be at least  
100 feet (30 m) from the transmitter when the Pre-Peak switch 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.

e EDID select rotary switch — The rotary switch is used to select specific pre-  
programmed or user-recorded EDID settings. Position 0 of this 16 position rotary switch  
is used to select the user recorded EDID. Position F passes the EDID from the display  
connected to the loop-out back to the input. Positions 1 through E select  
pre-programmed EDID resolutions.  
NOTE: The refresh rate of the pre-programmed EDID resolutions is selected using  
the first DIP switch ( ).  
d
Level control — The level control alters the video output voltage to affect the  
brightness of the displayed image. Adjust the knob while viewing the displayed image to  
f
set the level that provides the best picture quality.  
NOTE: For best results when using an RL receiver, connect a load to the buffered  
output on the receiver before adjusting the level.  
Peaking control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a picture. Increased peaking  
g
can compensate for mid and high frequency detail loss from low bandwidth  
system components or capacitance in long cables. The minimum setting (at the  
counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise  
limit) provides 100% peaking. Adjust this control to obtain the optimum picture  
sharpness.

NOTES:  
Use the internal jumpers to enable bidirectional communication (see  
"Pre-Installation — RS-232 Jumper" on page 5).  
The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The 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.  
Output connector — Connect one end of a twisted pair cable to this RJ-45 female  
connector on the transmitter. Connect the free end of the same twisted pair cable to  
the RJ-45 female connector on the receiver. See "Twisted Pair Cable Termination" on  
page 13 to wire the RJ-45 connectors.

Power Supply Wiring  
Figure 8 below shows how to wire the connector.  
ATTENTION:  
Potential damage to property.  
Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the  
power supply and the transmitter or receiver. Identify the power cord negative lead  
by the ridges on the side of the cord.  
The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is  
3/16 inches (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as  
secure in the connector and could be pulled out.  
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check  
the output with a voltmeter.

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury.  
The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in.  
Disconnect the power before wiring.  
NOTES:  
Your transmitter/receiver pair may have shipped with a blue captive screw connector.  
This blue connector can be plugged into either a blue or an orange power receptacle.  
The blue connector does not have the extended tail or the included tie-wrap.  
Do not tin the power supply leads before installing in the direct insertion connector.  
Tinned wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out of the  
connector.  
ATTENTION:  
Potential damage to property.  
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked "Class 2"  
or "LPS", rated 12 VDC, maximum 1.0 A. Always use a power supply supplied  
or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory  
compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.  
The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of  
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75, and the Canadian Electrical Code  
part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building  
structure or similar structure.  
Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling  
spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity  
as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2,  
secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

NOTES:  
RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable must comply with the  
TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.  
RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free AV UTP cable must comply with  
TIA/EIA T568A only.  
For proper grounding of shielded twisted pair cable, ensure the shield around  
each wire pair 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 AV 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.

Skew Delay Compensation  
CAT 5, 5e, and 6 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 twisted pair 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 AV UTP cable.  
Add a skew compensation cable equal to the length of pair skew to the output of the  
receiver.  
Install an SEQ 100 15HD Skew Equalizer to the video output of the receiver and adjust  
the skew for the leading video image.

EDID Configuration  
The MTP 15HD RS transmitter can either record EDID from a display device, or a  
pre-programmed EDID can be selected using the rotary and DIP switches.  
Recording a Display EDID  
1. Turn the rotary switch to position 0.  
NOTE: The vertical frequency DIP switch has no effect in this mode.  
2. Connect the display device to the local monitor output connector.  
NOTE: The MTP 15HD transmitter should be supplying the necessary 5 VDC to  
power on the display. However, to ensure that EDID is being transmitted,  
power on the display.  
3. When ready to record to memory, press and release the recessed record button (see  
on figure 2 on page 6) to begin the recording process. The Record LED (see  
on  
c
b
figure 2 on page 6) will flash red rapidly during recording, then return to solid green  
after recording is completed. At this time, the display can be disconnected. Connect the  
source device to the input connector.  
4. Power on or restart the source device if necessary.  
Using a Pre-Programmed or User-Recorded EDID  
1. If you have not already done so, connect the source device to the MTP 15HD transmitter.  
Do not power on the source device at this time.  
2. Set the front panel DIP switch (see  
on figure 2 on page 6) to the required frequency  
d
(50 or 60 Hz).  
3. Set the rotary dial (see  
on figure 2 on page 6) to the required position (see the table  
e
in figure 12). Positions 1 through E are factory installed. Position 0 is for user-recorded  
EDID information. Position F passes the EDID from the display connected to the loop-out  
directly back to the input.

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 flow — 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).
